The Inchelium Indians of Nespelem, Wash. have petitioned the great white father to forbid all paleface hunters entrance to their tribal lands.
The position of the tribesmen, as nearly as may be determined, is that if the paleface nimrod is given an Inchelium privilege he invariably takes a mile.
After a summer of fear that the white hunters with their modern firearms would clean out all their game, leaders of the tribe called a great council, and out of this came the following resolution: "White man do no good. He come here, hunt our game, catch our fish. We vote to kick him out."
A note to this effect was dispatched to Washington.
