The Man With the Rifle.

A man who has a remarkable history
visiting the east for the first time since
the close of the war, is State Senator
John o. Milne, of Minnesota, one of the
best known farmers Of the beautiful
state of $4,000 lakes. Mr.. Milne was
born in Fall River. Mass, where his
brothers are leaders in the social. poll
tical and business world. The princi-
pal daily paper in that city is owned by
them. John 0. went west long before
the war and became famous hunter.
He knew every mile of bunting ground
from La Crosse TO the Red River of the
north, and claims to have been the first
man to discover that the source of the
Mississippi was not Lake Itaska. as
promulgated by Schoolcraft in 1882, but
a spring, or series of springs, much fur
ther north, and which Captain Glazier
has since ccnclusively shown to be the
real origin of the mighty stream. Mr..
Milne is personally acquainted with
nearly all the older chiefs of the Sioux
and Apaches, and can talk their lam
guage like an aborigine. When Sitting
Bull and his 5000 warriors were brought
under military escort to Bismarck in
1881 Mr.. Milne visited the camp, and
was received by Sitting Bull with extra
ordinary honors. The Sioux call him
the Little Man Great with the Rifle
New York Star.
