Olympm, Wash.The supreme court has handed down two im portant decisions affecting the rights of Indians under treaties made in 1859, which, the Indians said, gave them the right to "h'shIsland in their accustomed places One is the case of the State of Washington, appellant, against Alec Towessnute, Benton county. Towessnute was arrested under orders from State Fish Commis sioner Darwin for "fishing with out a license snagging salmon with a gaff hook, and catching fish without a hook and line within a mile of the dam in the Yakima river, off the Yakima Indian res ervation, contrary to the fishing laws of the state." A test suit was made of the case. Towessnute's defense was that under the Yakima Indian treaty of 1859, ratified by Congress, Indians were given the right to fish in us ual and accustomed places, "in common with citizens of the terri- tory." He contended that in ex change for thp territory the In dians gave up to the whites they were to have the privilege of fish mg in these accustomed places without having to submit to sub sequently enacted fishing laws. The lower court found for the Indians and sustained the de murrer interposed by Towessnute. The supreme court in a sweep ing decision affecting Indian rights, reverses the case and says the Indian treaties of 1859 cannot be held to be paramount to regu lations enacted by the state in the exercise of its police power under the enabling act. The court .says: "lie (the Indian) should have equal, but not more than equal rights." The aborigines, in other words, must be held amenable to the same police power, outside of their reservation, us the whites. The court says even if the treaty were not held to have been abridged by the enabling act, its terms cannot be construed so as to give Indians/the right to fish free from restriction, but they must be under the same restriction as the "people of the territory." The court scorns the theory that the Indians^ and whites entered into the treat,v as two sovereign peo ple, and that therefore the Indians "ceded" rights and lands to the whites.Ex. NOTICE.

It bears the thumb print of an aged Indian on Prairie and without it the check would be worthless. Samuel Thomas, living on the Prairie Is land reservation, is one of the few remaining members of the Sioux tribe who has money coming from the government. When he is short he calls on Mr. Tiedeman. The other day the government agent called on Thomas and the aged In dian had the cheek turned over to Mr. Tiedeman in payment for goods received. As he cannot write, the thumb print signature was placed on it.Ex. News of White Earth and Vicinity. Pay your subscription now. This means you.
