IOsIE MANSFIELD LOST.

The mysterious disappearance from
Paris OF Josie Mansfield has caused
much comment In the American
colony
She had been liviog 10 Paris from the
time of the Flsk-Stokes tragedy, 80
years ago, until about three months
ego, when suddenly she was missed.
Her house has Just been sold, together
with It's handsome furnishings.
Nobody seems TO know what has be-
come OF Der, but the prevailing belief is
tb, she bss gone b iok TO America in
co .nlto, il tending to make her home
| there hereafter.
Josie Mansfield is nearly 60yesrs old.
Since 1872 when she h'd t. Paris
after "E1" Stokes had killed Jim"
Fisk on her eccouI t, she has been but
a pane 10 Americs-a name, 1t II true,
, t1tt at one time st least served u set
all the New York exclusives by the
ears, but nevertheless an exile, who, II
report be true, hankered continually
after the scene OF her former trinmpte.
II was at 16 thst Josie Mausfeld-or
Warren, her real nsme-frst stepped
on The stage of life in San Francisco, 10
1859, as far as the public is concerned.
Sne Was then the wife of Frank Law
lor, an actor. He married her, 1t was
said, to save her from the pareLt t3 who
proposed to sacrifice her.
A year later the youthful bride dis
appeared and for some time was lost
sight OF. It has heen stated that she
spent that period 10 Boston under the
protection OF 8 distinguished man.
However that may be, she emerged 10
1867, g,t a divorce from LawlOr and
sought fame ss 90 actress.
Falling in that, she was almost at the
eud of her resources when chance
threw her 10 the way Of Colonel James
Flsk, IT,, whose intere,ts 10 FIsk's
Ooera House, the Erie Rsilwsy and
Sound steamers made him a notable
figure on the world OF speculation and
pol cs.
Josie Manifold was then at the
zenith Of her beauty. 1t was a bold,
br liant type. Her dark hair framed
face liz up by wonderful pair oi gray
eyes. T0e color In her cheeks depen-
| ed with every emotion. Her figure and
cIrrlsge were superb.
Fisk won her and placed her 10
splendid establishment. He introduced
to her his friend, Edward Stokes, who
became infatuated with Josie Mansfield,
and jealousy drove Fisk almost to del-
peratiou. A su was followed by q
counter-suit. Tnen came q threat TO
publish Fisk's ltttsrs bstrsyiDg hie Erie
deals. He got out an Injunction re-
strsiuiD2 the plotters from this hOsl
step. Que January day Stokes met
Fisk al the Grand Central Hotel ana
shot him.
Josie Mansfield went to Boston, but
that city turned cold shoulder to her,
and the woman who bad dazzled New
York with her toilets crossed lie sea
t. seek 10 the French capital new
nfe.
10 1891, her marriage to Robert i.
Reade, a rich lawyer OF New York
allied 10 Mis-. Levi P. Moltln, whose
family held foremost place in London
society, Josie Mansfield again shook
metropolitan circles from centre to cir
cumfereuce. This union endured two
years, when the husband sought re-
lease. Since then reports OF her doings
have occasionally reached her former
soqu aiptances, but for two or three
years sbe had practically dropped out
Of sight.

THE EVOLUTION OF AN ITEM.

In the Dickinson Press of last week,
If We mistake not, was an item to the
effect that Col. Alfred White had been
ait his ranch the week before. and
while there had seen one of his men
ride down and rope a grey wolf, Of
goodly dimensions. The item has
gotten away from Dickinson and in
the twin city press we read the follow
ing:
Colonel Alfred White, a Dickinson
druggist, while at his cattle ranch last
week. ran down and roped a grey wolf.
The animal measured seven feet from
the tip of his nose to the end of his
tail. 1t takes an exceptionally fleet
and strong horse to carry a rider and
oyertake a gray wolf"
1t takes an exceptionally strong and
fleet newspaper correspondent to pol
ish up an item like this, and the next
time we see the wolf story reported,
we expect to see that Col. White
tackled the wolf with his bare fists
out on the prairie and hammered it
into a jellied mass. The evolution
of a newspaper item is an interesting
study.

BIG SIOUX
INDIAN COMMISSIONER JONES
AND THE REDMEN POW-WOW
AT STANDING ROCK.

Fort Yates, N. D., May 5.-Indian
Commissioner Jones arrived last week
and held a council with the Indians
on the reservation. There were over
a thousand assembled. The weather
was lovely and the council was held
out doors, Inspector Nessler, Agent
Bingenheimer, D. R. Taylor, Rev. Mr..
Reed, Miss Collins, missionary among
the Indians, Mrs. Mclaughlin, Mrs.
Parkin and many other prominent
people were present. Commissioner
Jones in his opening statement said:
81 have come here mainly to get the
views of the Indians themselves on
the different questions which concern
them. I want every one who has
anything to say, be he a chief Or a pri-
vate, a young or an old man, to talk in
council with me-. I want no n to
be afraid to criticise any official. I
want all to speak their minds.
II have been to many reservations
and have found the Indians with paint
on their faces and wearing blankets;
here / see not a single Indian with
paint or blanket. want to say that
I am astounded at the marvellous pro-
gress your general appearance shows
that you have made in the last ten
years.
Now let me assure you or behalf
of myself and other government Off
cials that our desire is to treat you
with the utmost fairness and liberal
ity, and that your rights win be pro
tected to the uttermost. We have a
policy we think is OF benefit to you,
but we are open to conviction; If our
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1902-05-06
policy is not of benefit to you we will
ohio ~ on ~ If nnnaccor1y .e& %

policy is not of benefit to you we will
change it if necessary.
Regarding the land leasing, as you
may be aware, the courts have decided
that this leasing is legal providing we
can get the consent of the Indians.
Notwithstanding this, I am satisfied
since coming here that the Walker
lease is not for the benefit of the In
dams, and therefore I have disap-
proved of it. and the lease is null and
void. The Lennon lease was APP
proved of before the matter was taken
up in the courts. After looking over
the country, I am satisfied that your
only salvation is stock-raising, and I
particularly desire every man to ac-
quire his own herd. If the policy of
land-leasing interferes with your rails
ing herds of cattle, then that policy
is wrong and no n will be more
ready than myself to change it.
"Now, as I said before, I did not
come here to talk, but to- hear your
talk and I am now ready to hear you."
Owing to the illness of Louis Prim-
eau, the best interpreter in the coun-
try, it was difficult to find anyone COM
petent enough to turn the commits
sioner's speech into Indian.
Chief Cheaka spoke a few words
and then Mad Bear, a noted chief, got
up. He said that not a single Indian
on the reservation approved of the
Walker lease, and that the Indians
understanding was that cattle were to
be brought on at the rate of 81 a head,
and that "a commission of four Indians
was to select the land. Before this
was done the land had been selected
by the department.
All sorts of Indians spoke in the
council. Their grievances were many
and to all the commissioner listened
with kindly patience. AS a result of
the council it was decided to let the
lease stand as it is, but abol-
ish the Walker lease; not to charge
Indians 81 a head for all cattle over
100 head; to investigate the trading
stores and work reforms therein if
needed: to give those Indians who
want them their allotments as quickly
as possible and let them become citi-
zens; to increase policemen's wages
to $15 a month and officers S25 a
month; to issue cattle to those able
to take care of them.
