NORTH DAKOTA NEWS.
Hl. Lars Threateped.


A. c. Wells, sub-age MT at the Stand
ing Rock agency, is sead to be in dang
or from some of the Indians ON the re.
servation, although he gives no indica-
tion Of having been frightened by the
reports of threats that are said to have
been made against him. Wells was
the man TO whom the greatest credit is
due for the ferreting out of the facts in
the murder of the Spicer family.
When the murder. was first discovered
and attributed to Indians, Wells took
an. active; interest IN the case, and al
though the agency officials did not OPP
pose him in his efforts to find out who
were the murderers, be did not re-
ceive the support and assistance from
tEemlthat should have been rendered.
When the Indians were placed on
trial, Holy tracks, stepfather threat
ened that if hts son was hanged he
would roll the head of one of Wells
children in at the door of his home in
vengeance. Some of the Indians on
the reservation are much incensed at
the activity of Wells in ferreting out
the murderers. and claim that he
knew, of the lynching when it was
planned. Friends of Wells advised
him to be careful, as an Indians ven-
geance is long lived.

killea by HI. Collar.

High standing collars are now ex-
clusively in vogue. The laws of health.
however, require that the neck should
be left bare, or nearly SO. and unre-
strained in its movements. Hence the
collar should be loose and turn-down.
More than one case has been recorded
in which tight collars have almost
caused suffocation, the victims being
revived with difficulty. Some two
years ago, on the arrival of the train
from Nice at Paris. a rich American
traveller was found dead in one of the
compartments-strangled, as the in
quest disclosed, by his high collar,
whose button had left its mark upon his
skin. Nor is this at all an unlikely ac-
cident, since there is point in the
throat close to the "Adam's apple" pres

at once, and bring about asphyxia.
Moreover, collar which hardly feels
uncom Portable while the wearer is
standing may draw much tighter when
he sits down, and should he fall asleep
in it, may produce congestion, coma and
a fatal termination.-N. Y. Ledger.
