LOTS OF ELOQUENCE.
INDIANS AT STANDING ROCK TELL
THEIR TROUBLES TO THE PRES
DENTS REPRESENTATIVE.

Dr.. George Bird Grinnell, the special
representative of President Roosevelt,
sent out to investigate the matter of
the cattle leases on the Standing Rock
Indian reservation, has finished his
work and departed for Washington.
While the details of the investigation
have not yet been made known it is
certain that the matter was as thor
oughly sifted by the presidents agent
as it is possible to investigate any,
thing that Indians have to do with.
DR.. Grinnell is no stranger to the
Sioux Indians of this section as he was
with Custer in his Black Hills cam
paign in 1914 as government natural
list, and at that time made many friends
among the Indians who were not on
the warpath. At his request Colonel
Mclaughlin, superintendent of Indian
agencies, whose family resides at Fort
Yates, and who for many years had
charge of these Indians. was sent along
to facilitate the work, as the reds love
their old friend, who they call the
white Haired Father" DR.. Grinnell
and the colonel visited all parts of the
reservation and got all sides of the
controversy, the expedition winding
up with a big council May p and % at
the agency.
Last week being the time for the
quarterly issue of rations and pay, the
council drew almost the entire popula-
ton of the reservation, so that nearly
5000 Indians. male and female, old
and young, were gathered to hear the
"big talk" which is said to have been
n of the most brilliant demonstra-
tions of Indian eloquence ever known
on that historic spot.
All the leading chiefs of the north
ern Sioux were present, among those
making set speeches being: Charging

Eagle, Thunder Hawk, John Grass, Mad
Bear, Bear Face, Red Fish, White
Shield, Rose Bud, Bulls Ghost and
Herbert Welsh. an educated Indian
minister. The interpreting was done
by Louis Primeau, Charlie McLaugh-
lin, the colonel's son, and Robert High
Eagle. a Carlisle graduate. The
speeches were all reported by a stem
ographer for the presidents perusal.
Preparatory to the council the In
dams squatted ON the ground and
smoked many pipes with the white
brothers. They were given to under
stand that they were to talk only on
the matter at issue and to the surprise
of everybody stuck remarkably close
to the text. The matter of the cattle
leases was gone into at length, the
taking of testimony, or rather the
hearing of opinions regarding this
subject, lasting two whole days.
Between business sessions DR.. Grin
nell was kept busy listening to griev-
ances of the chiefs, as the fact that he
was the special representative of the
president impressed the braves with
the Importance of their opportunity to
pour their tales of woe into the ear OF
one who was a close friend of the
"Great Father'-and not a politician
or oficeholder. Among the doctors old
acquaintance were a number of In
dians who took part in the Minnesota
massacre of 1862, and some who were
in the fight with Custer, both of which
events they talked of freely, giving the
noted administration much data for
interesting publication. One of the
old chiefs made much ado because the
doctor would not grant him a divorce
from his ,squaw, whom he described as
a terror" Many other requests of
like futility were made, the reds having
the idea that the doctor had plenary
powers if he would but exercise them.
In the Judgment of those familiar
with Indian habits of thought the
sending of DR.. Grinnell to them was a
master stroke of diplomacy, as it has
convinced them a just man is at the
head of the nation and that their in
terests will be cared for.

A Blaze This Morning,

The noise Of the fire wagons dashing
along Fayetteville street this morning
shortly before one O'Clock gave notice to
the people of q fire. No alarm had been
sounded by the city fire bell.
The fire was found to be in. the res
taurant at the back of the grocery store
Of Oscar n. Allen. corner of Blount and
East Dayic streets. The roof was in a
blaze, and the Victor Hose Company
soon had a stream on it.
The alarm had reached the engine
houses from box q, sent in by some one
who saw the blaze. This box is a square
from the fire. The onc-stOry frame
building Of the grocery belongs to e. \.
Johnson, of the District Attorneys Office.
The damage is in the roof. while that to
the stock in tho grocery store is from
smoke and water.
The grocery store had closed at IL
o'clock, and it is supposed that the fire
caught from Il defective tiue in the res
taurant. The damage is slight, though
the blaze. indicated u big fire.

This is the determination reached BY
the Governor after a careful study Of
the case.
Many appeals for a pardon have come,

fourteen years of age and was sentenced
to the roads for seven years. The girl
was the ward OF his father.
1t is stated that by paying $1,000, an
amount set by court, Murrow can be re-
leased. His father is wealthy and is
ready to pay the amount. but young

mont OF his guilt and wont have the
amount paid. He is going blind, and this
is said to he aggravated by his work.

ing taken place after the charge against
MurrOw had been made.

The defendants were young boys, and

book is a notorious one. The books were
mailed from Chicago.
1t was a sensational case. the defcn-

the government declared indecent and
had the young agents arrested for send
ing obscene matter through the mails.
