WANTS RIGHTS AS AN INDIAN
George Wicks Sands Singular Petition to
Senator Allison
BORN IN THE POTTAWATTAMIE TRIBE
III * Father AVnn .Aprrnt nitil Clitcf nnil
JIU ( Mother flucon , While the
I Applicant In n. Vctcrnn ,
of 1801. |
George W. Wicks forwarded to Senator Alli
son yesterday a petition requesting Mm to
Introduce anil put through a special bill rein
stating Wicks and his two children as mem.
bcrs and bonellclarlis of the Pottawattamlo
trlbo of Indians. Mr. Wicks la one of the
oldest citizens of Council Bluffs , having been
born hero In 1814 , but very few - peoplecx -
ccot the older citizens were aware of the fact
that'ho had any claim to kinship with the
original settlers and owners of Pottawattamlo
county. His father , Stutley B. Wicks , was a
whlto man and his mother a three-quarter
blood Pottawattamlo , and tndcr the laws of
the United States retained her full rights
as an Indian. The father of Mr. Wicks was
an Indian agent In the employ of ttio govern
ment for many years , a good part of the tlmo
as an Interpreter. He flrst visited Council
DluCfs In 1834 , and In 184S returned hero as
the guide and agent of a band of 400 Potta-
\\attamics , who settled In the vicinity on
lands allotted by the government. For many
years ho was the practical head of the tribe
not only as agent , but chief , and hU Indian
wlfo was queen ot the Pottawaltarales. He
he'oed to build and for many years occupied
tlio government blockhouse , which stood on
the site of the present homo of John Clausen
In the eastern part of the city near the Pierce
Street school. The son and the two oldest
daughters were born there. The elder Wicks
built the flrst mill west of the Mississippi
river. It stood on the site of what Is now
known as Parks mill , a few miles east of
town. Mosquito reck , 'which furnished the
oower and continued to do so for the suc
ceeding mills that were erected there , was
much larger than It Is now , and George
Wicks was telling yesterday of the great
amount o [ ' flsh that lived and thrived In Us
waters. Ho says the creek as he recalls It
was more than twice as large as It Is at the
present tlmo when as a boy he used to fol
low his father on his hunttag and ashing ex
cursions.
When the war broke out the father Joined
the service as a scout for the government and
lost his life. The son also enlisted and
spent two years ot hard campaigning. When
they left homo they left the mother In pos
session of property that was appraised at
140,000. When the son returned , ho found
that his mother , being unable to read or
write , had been tricked out ot the title to
all of It and was homeless and penniless.
The property embraced a largo portion of
what Is now tins central portion ot the clty. .
Wlcks , the son , Is now a weather beaten ,
grizzled veteran , who has to work hard for
the support of himself and his family of the
"chomokon quau , " or whlto squaw , and two
children. When the allotment of lands In
Indian Territory was made to the Potta-
wattamles a few years ago he was unahlo
to get there In tlmo to secure his share and
the bill that ho Is asking Senator Allison to
put through congress for him Is to enable
htm to secure the land or Its equivalent ,
which would ho ICO acres of agricultural or
320 acres of grazing land for himself and
pach of his two children , nubia and Rutha
P. Wicks. The petition bears the names of
many of the most prominent old citizens.
Wicks' two older sisters , who were born
here , were In Indian Territory members ot
the citizen trlbo of the Pottawattamles at
the tlmo of the allotment , and they have re
ceived their portions of the rich lands that
created such a rush when thrown open for
settlement a Tew years ago.
Mr. Wicks has been In communication with
the members of the Council Bluffs exposition
association , who have been considering the
plan : of putting him in charge of the big Pot
tawattamlo wigwam that will bo built on
the exposition grounds.
CHANGE IN TIMID OP ELECTION.
N'civ I-ttW Sct the Dntc tAlniOHt n
( Month Xnter.
Under the new law tbo iclty election will
como this year almost a month later than
formerly. Under the old city Incorporation
law the election was held oa the flrst Mon
day In ( March. The new code changes It to
the last ( Monday In March. The new code
provides that one-halt of the entire corps of
city officers fchall bo elected each alternate
year , making a complete change la the city
administration once in four years. In mak
ing the change from the old to the new law ,
It so happens that the election this year will
call for a clean sweep In all of the admin
istrative officers of the city. This -will create
vacancies 'In the mayor's ofllce , and In the
offices of the treasurer , auditor and city en
gineer. In the council tiicro will bo four
"
hold-over members. S"ayles , Shubert , Met-
calf and Atkins. The usual number of va
cancies 'to occur Is the chief thing that makes
the coming election of such Importance and
creating the Interest now being felt In It at
this early date. With all of the heads of
departments and four aldermen to elect the
contest Is of sufficient magnitude to bring It
Into greater prominence than any similar
campaign In thu history ot the city. A
change In the heads of departments means a
change In the entire -working and operating
forces of. all of the offices.
There Is a disposition on the part of the
democrats to force the campaign early In
the season to get it well warmed up before
the winter Is over. For this purpose there
la talk of calling the democratic city cam
paign early 'In February , but there is no
probability of the republican convention be
ing held before the flrst 'Week In March.
It Is almost a foregone conclusion that the
republican convention will rcnomlnato all of
the present heads ot departments , with the
exception of the mayor. There Is a bare
possibility that there mill bo some new
aspirant for the office of city solicitor who
may find favor with the convention , but
the splendid record that City Attorney Hazel-
ton has made In the office will go a long way
toward removing any objection that may be
entertained against a fourth terra.

ago of ISO fcol ; also two other lots In Beer's

$10,000 In cash. 1A11 ot this property has
been conveyed by deed to the hospital asso
ciation , the deed being held In trust by Hon.
W. II. M. Puscy. Mrs. Ballard has for many
> cars considered the feasibility of bequeath
ing a sufficient amount to establish and main
tain an old lady's home , but she changed her
plans Tuesday and this magnificent gift to the
hospital Is > ' .ho result ,
Mrs. Dallard Is 84 years of age and has
always been noted tor her charitable works.
She Is the widow ot the late Dr. Samuel Bal
lard , who at bis death left a largo estate to
his only children , S. n. Ballard ot Atlantic

hag since died and her children will share
equally with S. R. ( Gallard In the remainder
of Mrs. Ballard's estate when It Is settled.
The testator requests that all the property
bo sold and the proceeds used 'to enlarge the
hospital. U Is estimated that from $20,000
to $25,000 will be realized from the sale ,
which , with the $10,000 in cash , will make
the Woman's Christian , hospital of Council
Bluffs the foremost Institution of its kind 'In
the west , a fitting memorial to the bcaev-
olcnce and subltmo character of the donor.

John II. Kelly , residing at 1S21 South
Ninth street , filed an Information In Justice
Burko's court yesterday charging F. F. Davis
with assaulting his wife , Mrs. Clara Kelly.
Davis called yesterday morning to deliver
and collect for a couple ot pictures ordered
by Mrs. Kelly about ten days ago. The
agent who secured her order placed the price
at $8 , and It Is alleged that ho then went
to a neighbor and took an order for two
more pictures of the same style and descrip
tion for. $3. Mr. Kelly learned the price for-
which his neighbor secured her pictures , and
decided that his wlfo should not pay the $8 ,
so when the dcllveryman called with the
pictures Mrs. Kelly told him to come ngalh
when her husband was at homo. In the dls >
cusslon that followed It Is alleged that Davis
grow very abusive , that ho raised ono of
the pictures as If to strike the woman and
called her vile names. He was arrested and
taken to Justice Burke's court , where ho was
admitted to ball In the sum of $100. The

In the trial of the Paulson-Sawyer contest
case before Judge McGea the latter exhibited
as proof ot qualification a flrst class certifi
cate. Mr. Paulson's attorney argued that
the certificate was Irrelevant and Incompe
tent because It was not Issued In this county.
The court held that the question of qualifi
cation could not bo raised in the case. The. .
pamo question , however , was presented In a

NEW YORK , Dec. 29. Edward Harford ,
who with Havclock Wilson , at. P. , consti
tuted the British Trades Union delegation
to the Nashville convention of the American
Federation ot Labor , sailed for South
ampton on the St. Paul today. ( Before sailIng -
Ing , Mr. Harford said :
The policy of the American trades unions
In not engaging In politics as a body Is
stupid. How can they expect to obtain any
lasting reforms If they hold aloof ? By pur
suing their present mummy plan of Ignoring
the control of political machinery as a
means of bettering their condition they are
not only fatally Ignoring their chances , but
inviting the ecorn of the politicians the
very class from who-m they expect to get
better laws for the masses.
Your American politician , as a rule , Is
moved to legislation for the masses only tiy
a show of superior force. Exalted feeling ho
has jionc. Let the trades unions force this
style of puppet Into retirement and send men
to boards of aldermen , legislatures and con
gresses who will not pretend to bo the
friends of tbo people In speeches and In
secret sell out to the corporations and money
powcti' .
"Things In England used to bo much as
they are In the United States , but they have
changed. Wo trades unionists go right Into
politics. Wo have succeeded In making the
political parties there defer to us , and why
should wo not ? Wo are the majority. la
every country the workers are the ma
jority. "
