PRICE, 10 CENTS
PETITION OF PEOPLE OF HAINES
The argument in the matter of the
application of Haines for incorpora
tion u.is complete today ami the mat
ter t;ik> n under advisement. The
only question, as stated, was as to
the right to count the Indians as in
habitants. The petition contained
the names of -16 white inhabitants
and l."0 Indians. Mr. Z. K. Cheney
argued the point for the petitioners
and Oistri. t Attorney Boyoe and
?fudge Roger* for the opposition. Mr.
i 'beney argued that it was not re
quired that the Indians be citi/ens a*
the law required only that they be
inhabitants, of which he thought
tlit re was no question. In his argu
ment. however, he went further and
sought to show that under a decision
of Judge Wlckersham, in a ease in
which he went fully into the ques
tion. many of these signers were citi
zens having given over their tribal
relations and adopted the habits of
civilized life.
"o this contention Mr. Bo.vce took
the opposite view.
The witnesses in behalf of the peti
tion were Dr. Mutton ? who dwelt on
tin need of a better water for the
town. Homer Oanta, George Vogel.
Sara Weimnan, J. \V. Martin, Tim
V'jgel, Dick Turner, Ben Mahan,
Creedon anil J. H. Chisel.
They ;ill pointed out the need of
sanitary, police and other reflations
now lacking and which they felt to
be necessary !>.r the security of the
people and the development and pro
gress of the town.
Most < ( these returned to Haines
la^t evening feeling confident of the
success ot their petition.
