RED THUNDER's COMPLAINT,
An Investigation Ordered of the Chin
peyvas' Trouble.

An Investigation Ordered of the Chip
peyvas' Trouble.
The reported troubles at the Chippewa
Indian reservation at Mount Turtle North
Dakota, are thought here to - exaggerat-
ed. The Indian bureau has received no re-
port from its agent The first intimation
of difficulty came on April 10, when the
bureau received the following dispatch
from st. Johns, N. D., the post Office and
telegraph station of the reservation:
I'VE are prosecuted by one Deputy United
States Marshal SCHNEIDER He wants to
make over fifty of my children prisoners
for having cut dead timber on our noun
tain. This Is what has kept US from starv-
ing during the winter. 1t is simply a spec
ulation of this deputy and we ask you to
send us Immediately men to Investigate
and save bloodshed.
LITTLE SHE'LL,
RED THUNDER,
And CounseIlors."
In reply, the bureau ordered Ralph Hall,
the agent, to proceed to Turtle mountain
and investigate. The officers of the bureau
say the controversy will turn on the object
of the Indians in cutting the wood. They
can cut any amount for their own use, but
have no Tight to sell any at all.
Owing to want of funds, the governm ent
did not supply the Indians with the re-
quired amount Of seed last spring, and they
had to purchase what they needed, giving
liens on their crops in payment Their
claim that they needed the timber this win
ter to keep them from starving thus prob
ably Is well founded, as they were all poor.

State Department officials this afternoon

said that the possibility of an entire failure

This view is based on the fact that no con-

fight began in good earnest. Both
ships were running fire, and during
the whole fight, which lasted five
hours, the cannonade continued. The
crowded condition of the Frenchman's
decks made the slaughter dreadful,
but she did not take her punishment
without giving 1t back with spirit.
The moon had risen in tropic splendor,
and a good breeze was blowing, so
that both ships could manouvre, and
the bright light enabled them to see
what they were doing. Toward mid
night, though, it was plain that the
Frenchman was getting the worst of

act of young courage in all naval his

a little midshipman, James Jarvis,
who was only IL years old. When it
was seen that nothing could save the
mainmast, the topman leaped and
clambered down, and an old soldier
begged the little midshipman to save
himself. To this young Jarvis an

THE DECAY OF SOCIAL INTER.


As a result Of the present crowding of
life there is not time for the cultivation
of old-fashioned and priceless friendships.
The companionship, even in family life,
is. to a certain extent, sacrificed because
each individual is engrossed in personal
pursuits. The old-time entertaining,
which proved so fine a school of social
ethics and customs, has been largely cur
tailed and children are not nearly so
muc as, in the past, trained into life
time friendships with their parents and
their own associates. Today cousins in
large family circles scarcely know each
other. and in the decadence of informal

of social life may be traced the influence
