Commissioner Sells forwards various correspondence to Jewell D. Martin. Franklin X. Lane advises Peter Hanson to prevent an upcoming Sun Dance and to inform any white settlers in support of the ceremony that providing their support is illegal. Hanson feels interrupting the Sun Dance while it is in progress would create unnecessary bloodshed and tells Lane that he must allow the Sun Dance to continue. Attorney General Ray stands in support of ending the Sun Dance |
