Innovation at Pine Ridge.

In the past the Indians at Pine Ridge
Agency have been allowed to turn their
cattle for beef rations ont onto the prairie
and chase them down on their ponies to
kill them. A new man was placed in
charge OF the killing, and changed the
method, having the beeves killed by EN-.
ployes in the corral, as 1t is done at other
agencies. The Indians did not fancy the
innovation, and when the first issue day
came around held council at the corral,
at which tue head men made speeches
against the new method, finally threaten
ing an outbreak il they were not allowed
to continue their old methods. But thu
bluff did not 20 with the farmer who had
charge OF the issue and the killing was
done according to his orders, by the police.
and the Indians were not given an oppor.
tunity to chase and worry their beeye,
before they were killed.

Many Heads Arc Broken.

viding the st. Stanslaus Polish Catholic
congregation at Bay City, Mich. for the

Father Matkowski, the former priest
whose actions had divided :the
church and led to open HOSTILE
ties, scored the anti. Matkowski faction
for purchasing cemetery OF their own,
saying they would be cnt OF from al the
Offices Of the church. After the service.
when Father Bosacki started for his house
he was forced back into the church by
the crowd. A squad Of police tried to

heads were broken by the officers clubs.

toward night was escorted away from the

Fields weren't Worth War.
. Already some Of tho anti.administfa-
ton members Of Congress who have :
turned to Washington fer the winter are
prepared to rob the President and Secre-
tary Olney OF the credit for the settlement
Of the Venezuelan controversy.
A member OF Congress has made the
statement that Great Britain's willingness
to submit the Venezuelan controversy to
arbitration was due to the fact that uoon
investigation by English mining experts
the gold fields in Venezuela were found
not to be worth quarrelling about. The
territory in dispute was supposed to con-
tain large deposits Of gold and silver.
Until the United States assumed the at
tituds Of protector for Venezuela, En-
gland, It Il said, had not made . thorough
examination Of the property.
