governor of Michigan, Lewis Cass
was, by appointment, ex officio
superintendent of Indian affairs,
which extended over what was
called the northwest territory
-ii'l'.l '.''"'.""'.''e'! u very large area of
laud. After Lewis Cass had so

from I ho Indian by twenty .two
jrculies he made with them, these
land? wore rapidly settled and
Were soon organized into ter
ritories under the government of
(ho Uniled States. These ter

It is supposed I hat the endorser
of the check is J. K. Long, who
was here some few months ago,
engaged in Ihe insurance solicit
ing business, and who left for that
place the lat ter part of December,
and whether he has been worked
by Ihe drawerer of the check is
not known as yet, until Ihe bank
at Falls City has had time to lake

There has been numerous cases

tinue lo work them with apparent
