One of Benham's Jokes,

A party of Michigan friends of Major
and Mrs. Benham came out recently to
camp on the lake and breathe in the
wholesome air of North Dakota. They
pitched their tents ut the south end of
the lake at u spot designated by the
major. Now it trunspired that the
place chosen for their camp was on the
Indian reservation, just over the line, as
it were, and subsequent events 20 to
show that the major knew it was Just
over the line. Leastwisc at midnight,
or the turning point between the days
of Tuesday and Wednesday, there was
terrible yell just outside the camp,
and the sleeping pleasure-seekers sud-
denly found themselves in the presence
Of old Iron Heart and his braves. The
campers We're ordered to quit the reser-
vation instanter, which they did. No
doubt the eastern press will magnify the
occurrence into IL tirstclass "Indian
massacre" but we have investigated the
affair and find that it is all Major Ben
hams fault. He and old Iron Heart
are bosom friends, and it seems that
the major had an interview with the
old chief last week and told him about
the visit Of the Michigan people. A
job was put up to give them Il scare.
Major says it's the biggest fight he 8
been in since the war.
