AP Bulletin:

Police were called to a disturbance in northwest Chicago yesterday at the house of a Mr. Fred Aprim. When police arrived they found an elderly Native American male sprawled at the bottom of the front door steps of a two storey house. Mr Aprim was seen dragging an elderly Native American woman down the steps by her braids. Officers arrested Mr. Aprim, and the couple, in their 80s, were taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital.

Once in custody Mr Aprim claimed the man and woman, members of the Illini Tribal Council, had trespassed onto his property. He said they claimed to be the indigenous people of the state of Illinois and North America and they presented him with a treaty signed by the United Congress dating from 1790 allotting several acres of land to the tribe. When questioned later the elderly male said Mr Aprim became enraged when they presented him with the document. He said Mr. Aprim swore at them and told them to "f--- off". He said he'd bought the land twenty years earlier in good faith and they or any "damn Redskins" had no claim to it. When the woman offered to accept a "region" or an "administrative zone" in a corner of his backyard for a modest Teepee Mr. Aprim began manhandling the couple. Mr Aprim kicked the elderly man's cane from under him and gave the 82 year-old a shove. That was when officers arrived to see Mr. Aprim dragging the woman down the steps by her hair.

Mr. Aprim is an Assyrian nationalist and author whose recent book is titled. "The Assyrians: Their Indigenous Rights and Demandses in Iraq". Arraignment will be in Superior Court. Mr. Aprim is charged with assault and mayhem as well as elder abuse.
