PAUL, MINNESOTA. NOVEMBER,
0^7=* The above is a brief account of the tri
al of-two Chippewas for the murder of two
white meft. The names of the murdered
persons were Andrew J. Drake and Alexan
der Livingston, The Indians were both
found guilty of murder, and sentenced by
Judge Knowlton, to be hung at Willow Riv
er, Wisconsin, on the 25th October. It is
believed that the ignorant savage, who knows
no law but that of revenge, will not be dealt
more severely with than his more fortunate
white neighbors—and that while the Red
man is made to suffer the permit}', he may
also be benefited by the protection of the
law of the white men. Who can estimate
the amount of misery which the Indian expe
riences from the treatment which he too often
receives from lawless white men
[1)1 Flight of tlie Sisitouwans of Traverse
des Sioux.
A communication from Mr. Hopkins, o*
Traverse des Sioux, informs us .of the flight
of the, Sisitonwans from that place, and the
reasons why they fled. For the sake o!
brevity, the substance is only given below.
When the Indians of Traverse des Sioux
returned from their summer hunts to tlu u
corn fields, an elderly man named Hotonman
found that the cattle had destroyed nearly ail
his little field. Magnified by,a glance ir.ro
the future, the consequences of the loss fillv/.
the old man's soul with bitterness, and
repaired immediately to the Mission House
to deliver his tale of wo. Always miserable,
he now felt himself to the he most miserable
The long, cold, dreary winter, in imaginat:
rose up before him, and shaking his icy
in the wrinkled visage of Hotonmani seeme
to say, "Look on me, and while the M:e
of-the-South by his warm breath screcus vos.
from my chilling gripe, hasten to weep i
your wife and children, soon to perish
hunger." And'the old man hung his hen.:
and listened in silence, to the deepgrowli:
of his sullen soul.
By kind words and the pi'omiseof fuL
muneration, the gloomy clouds were ck
away, and with a lighter heart the old
returned to his lodge.,
i But it was the cattle which had done
mischief, and the friends of juslicc reso s
that the cattle should pay the debt. Ate
dingly they tried, condemned and exec
6vo choice cows belonging to the Miss
The Sub-Agent being informed of the a
gave the Indians the choice between tl

atthe Agency, or be brought down by
military. They choose to fake to the Pra—•
