Happy Hunting Circumstances
Hawk and Defender to BE Released
Because Witnesses We're Lynched'

Bismarck, n. D., Nov. ga re-
port has reached here from the Stand
ing Rock reservation that the mother
of Phillip ireland, one OF the young
Indians recently lynched at Williams
port, committed suicide because OF the
disgraceful death Of her son. here Is
a belief among the Indians that any
person who may be hanged will never
reach the happy hunting grounds-the
heaven Of the Indian. For this rea-
son the indians at Standing ROCK
wanted the Indians shot and not
hanged. Although motion has been
made by States Attorney Armstrong.
for the dismissal OF Frank Black
Hawk and George Defender, they are
stil In Jail and will not be released
until Agent Comrise of Standing Rock
comes to take the men back TO the
reservation. The feeling against
Black Hawk especially Is so bitter in
Emmons county that the authorities
are adverse 20 releasing them until
they have some means OF returning
To the reservation, lest they be gath
cred In by a mob and share the same
fate that was meted out to their three
companions. The release OF the men
was asked by the states attorney for
the principal reason that the witnesses
OF the state had been lynched,

that since the past couple Of years the edi-
torials were free from all prejudices, relig-
ious and otherwise, so IL IL natural that and
likewise "a good many others were surprised
by this editorial.
1t is well known fact that a free people
cannot tolerate ancient laws which, without
backing 10y the iron rule Of tyranny, would
never have existed. The name OF our city ex-
presses enough against Puritan fanaticism,
and the famous park which they would pre-
vent from entertaining thousands of people
on Sundays bears the name of Roger Twill
liams, the founder OF our city. the apostle OF
religious liberty and the enemy of intol-
erance
Aside OF Puritan, Mr. Waterman appears
TO be one OF the favored class who knows not
the pleasure Of driving and rowing in the
park is excluded Sundays. The multitude
of men who visit the park OH SUNDAY can by
no means do any other day during the
week. except on holidays. Six days they
must be closed up in the factories and shops,
and on the seventh day they can 90 out and
sip the fresh air which nature has in
abundance; six days they must work and
suffer to keep life and body together, and ON
the seventh day they can have bite of
the pleasure which Mr.. Waterman and his
class have in plenty during the whole week,
otherwise there is no need for park.
What were hundreds of thousands of dollars
that the taxpayers paid for park improve

munity2 Shall the community suspend all

outing Just to suit Mr.. Waterman and few

is such good churchman that he fears the
dire results of Sunday labor, then, why did he
not at least include the actual bard labor
which is performed on Sunday in the in
terests OF few big corporationsS But IL
seems according TO his views, that God has
granted special permit to those corporations
to employ men on Sunday, but the poor class
must observe the holy Sabbath and be careful
to have no pleasure ON that day.
Citizens must remember that breaking
loaf OF. bread on Sunday is, according TO Mr..
Waterman, a crime, and may charge the Of

Thanks is due TO Mr.. Waterman, anyway,
for coming out in his true colors. Men in
