ROOSEVELT IN THE WILD WEST

the cCw-puncher. swung into Chamber
lain. s B.. yesterday morning. where @
hard riding cowboys from the Bad Lands
gave him welcome that made the pre-
vious events OF the tour seem tame and
uninteresting-
In this remote southwestern corner of
South Dakota the Roosevelt train lay, five
miles from the station on the singIe
track, all night. Engineer and fireman
crawled out of the cab after banking
the fires The howl OF the coyote and
the wind in the sage and buffalo grass
made music for the Vice Presidential
Rough Rider as he slept.
This Is where al that are not men
are women shouted Roosevelt. as he
jumped off his car at Chamberlain into a
pushing, shouting, swearing melee OF
mounted cowboys, who rode at him.
till it seemed as if he would be trampIed
by their ponies. Scores of Crow and
Creek 1ndians-bucks, squaws, and
papooses-hovered around the edge of
the crowd grunting and pointing as they
caught glimpses of the heap chief
white man. White Ghost, Bad Hand, and
Nehakasehka the Deer, saehems who fe-
rifles in the days wt<sl their hands and
eyes were good, stood shoulder to shouI-
der in the crowd, sullen but grotesaue in
OLD silk hats, faded Prince Alberts, col
ored blankets round their legs, and moe
casins made of old trousers instead of
the gaudy beads and buckskin of their
youth.
Two bands, one of white boys an1 one
of Indians from the Government school
made music as the processi~l moved to
a grandstaDd at the head of Main
Street. When Roosevelt mounted the
little platform more cowboys, who had
ridden across the line from Montana,
gaIloped up and grabbed his hand.
You was branded a long time ago.
Teddy, and you wandered from tHe herd.
We've got roo critters across the creek /;
can't you 1op over and have chuck with
us2''

is the special tax this year for the priv
ilege of parents having their children
at home when they should be in school.
The trustees are directly responsible
and they cannot avoid it. Last winter
the same difficulties were encountered
but the winter being mild, few days
were lost. This winter starts in as
though il intended Ia make a record of
severity and there Is no prospect of any
thing being done. All during the sum
mer the trustees might have met the
difficulty in some manner but one of
the trustees said that all that was done
vas the ''chinking' of some of the
cracks and the providing Of some storm
windows. A parent OF five school child
rem said yesterday that last winter the
fact Of the school being dismissed made
little difference as the children were
receiving but little benefit anyhow, but
better things were hupcd for this term.
The school affairs in his district are an
outrage on taxpayer, parents, children
and teachers. Monday u paltry little
stove was placed in one room and a
trustee said that four feet from it the
children were shiveriug with cold. The
school board seems a'solutcly indiffer-
cnt to the situation, or 20 the protest of
parents. Probably nothing short Of a
vigilance committee viii accomplish
any good.

visit the land themselves, which was
done after the snow had gone OFF in the

hill from the old l'Hch mine to the
mill, with n four-horse team hauling
about six tons of ore, felt the rough
lock break and Immediately the
wagon was forced upon the horses.
The driver stayed with the lines for
perhaps sixty feet, when he jumped
mp the hill, just In time to save his
life, for n moment afterwards horses
and load went over observation-disclosures.
One wheeler was killed and the other
horses were badly injured. while the
wagon is practically useless and the
ore almost beyond recovery.
