give NAH-KOM her child. Before the order could bc executed,
a party of white men, sympathizing with tlle PARTRIDGES, took
the child from the sheriff's charge and carried him off. After
two years, Dr. HUEBSCIIJIANN, the Indian Superintendent, em-
powered and requested by the Menorrlonees to seek and reclaim
the stolen child, succeeds in doing so. IIe is brought here, and
the PARTRIDGES sue out a writ of Habeas Corpus before Judge
SNITII.
Pending the hearing, the child by direction of the Judge, is
placed for safe-keeping in the custody of our sheriff. On Mon-
day last, Judge SMITH, having no time to hear the case, direct-
ed the child to be restored to Dr. HUEBSCHMANN, conditioned
that the Doctor would remain here two days, to give the PART-
RIDGES an opportunity to sue out a writ before some other
Judge. But instead of appealing to the law, the PARTRIDGES
have again made off with the boy. IIe was enticed, or smug-
gled out of the jail-yard, Monday afternoon, and has not since
been heard of.
The Sheriff offers $100 reward for his recovery. For the
credit of our State, and of the white man's law, we hope that
the child may be found again and restored to his Menomonee
kindred.
We annex the names and ages of our Indian visitore :-Osh-
kosh (Head Chief) sixty years; Souligny (Head War Chief)
seventy; Na-Molte, forty-two; Carron, fifty-five; Osh-kee-he-
