INDIAN TOWNSHIP — Although he is under federal indictment for misappropriation of tribal funds, former Indian Township Tribal Gov. Robert Newell ran for a seat on the tribal council Wednesday. He lost — but not by much, 12 votes to be exact.

Pleasant Point and Indian Townships hold their respective elections the first Tuesday and Wednesday after Labor Day.
