pulling off his broad orimmed hat shook
the water from it's ample crown and
ejaculated:

a friend of the flockmaster.
We'll l should say it would was the.
reply. I'VE have hard enough times IS

THE INDIANS GRADUATE TO-DAY
Young People at the Fort Shaw School
Get Diplomas for Coed
Scholarship

To-day the Indians at the Fort Shaw
reservation nod their graduating eX-
ercises,' said a resident of Cascade
county at the Thornton hotel. 1.-The cit:-
zens of Montana are not used to havin.,
Indians armed with diplomas, ! guess
and the sight would surely be a novelty
invitations have been sent out to th.
prominent citizens of the state and the
exercises will doubtless be largely at
tended. A great mnay people from Grea /
Falls will be there.
There is a great work being done in
retaining the Indians from their state
of savagery and the Indian school at
Fort Shaw is taking the lead among
the schools of this kind in the west
The Indians at the school make tn. Il
own clothes, cook their own meals and
learn to do all the useful things thai,
civilized life demands of a resident of a
respectable community. oa
Some of the young Indians who
graduate firm the Indian schools go back
to the wild life of the plains but the
per centage grows less each year. The.
young Indians have glee club and a
foot ball and base ball club at the
school and are organizing several otllsi
means of entertainment. They have had
brass band a long time.
The old plains Indians who look with
disfaNor on anything civilized are I'll :
stumbling blocks in the way of the pro-
gress OF the younger generation of In
dams. They despise anything civilized
and want the old methods Of life to OBJ
tain among the generation of Indians
now growing UP. Some day when these
old bucks are all dead the young In
dams will be able to progress in a salts,
factory way. With today's exercises the
annual vacation time begins on the

WORKING ON THE CASE

Biddeford, Me, Dec. 14-Part Of the
mystery surrounding the four-year-old

up today, when Chief Of Police Harmon

over 10 the Brooklyn police, who at

League Polo Team
CRACK CLINTON TEAM
MAY BE TRANSFERRED
Malachi Kittredge Opened Nego-
tiations For Lease of Playing
Surface Yesterday-Definite
Announcement Expected to be
Made Soon

A Worcester American League polo
team is more than a possibility. Ar
rangements for a lease of Mechanics
Hall were begun yesterday by Malachi
j. Kittredge, at present manager of
the Clinton roller polo team. A decision
will be reached within a few days and
meanwhile the coterie of local sports
who have been on the inside since ne
gotiations were opened will anxiously
await the verdict.
1t is believed that the Clinton polo
team will be transferred to this city if
satisfactory arrangements can be made
for use of the hall. Worcester County
Mechanics Association, through its
committee has practically consented
to the proposition extended by Mr..
Kttredge for the lease of the hall, but
there is a slight hitch because of fear
that some of the valuable equipment
of the hall will be d6faced by the
playing of roller polo.
There is no difficulty over the flnan-
cial terms Of the lease and if it is de-
cided that the hall can be fitted for
the game at a reasonable expenditure
the move will be made. The Clinton
