telling him what he might expect as a
result if he did. In the end Mrs.
Brown and Blair and the children
were spared and taken to Little
Crows camp, but the other men of
the party were killed. In the attempt
to kill one of the men he managed to
get the thumb of Cut Nose in his
mouth and nearly severed the thumb
with his teeth before he was killed.
In some way the news was carried
to Standing Buffalo, who was with his
tribe up towards Devils Lake or in
the Sisseton country. Most of his war
riors were on buffalo hunt, but in
short time Scarlet Plume and Standing
Buffalo rode into Little Crows camp
with fifty picked warriors and de-
manded the release of Mrs. Brown and
her property, and after some parlsying
the demand was complied with, and
they were released.
Cut Nose was hung with the thirty
eight others afterwards in Mankato.
Little Crow well knew of Mrs.
Browns influence over Standing
Buffalo, Scarlet Plume and Sweet
Corn and other Wahpeton and Sisseton
chiefs, and it was his influence that
saved Blair's life while in his camp.
He had to smear Blair's face with
vermillion and disguise him as an
Indian and hide him in order to save
him, and help him get away from the
camp and to reach Fort Ridgley,
which he finally did, after suffering
privations and being very much ex-
hausted, taking seven. days to make
the fifteen miles from Little Crows
camp to the fort.
Standing Buffalo was an imposing
and intelligent looking Indian, stood
six feet two inches in his moccasins,
and was a friend of the whites, and
counseled for peace on all occasions.
The manner of his death some time
later is reported to have been as fol-

him on account of his counseling
against a raid on a band Of their
ancient enemies, the Pawnees, who
were discovered on the other side OF
the Missouri river. He told them that
the only way to get along was to live
in peace among themselves and with
the whites, that he had seen enough to
convince him that that was the only
way to keep from ultimately being ex-
terminated by the whites, who were
as the sand of the sea shore in num-
bers. They laughed at him and twit-
ted him of being coward, which SO
provoked him that he said, Il will
show you whether your chief is g
coward or not" and Immediately
jumped on his pony and without 6
weapon of any kind, rode straight in
,, to the Pawnee camp, where he fel
, riddled with bullets.

until he moved to this city FIVE years
ago, having retired from active work
years ago. He has very pleasant
home on North Broad street.
In 1863 he married Miss Rathbun
and they have eleven children. Mr..
and Mrs. Fuller have had many inter-
estiug experiences which fall to the
lot of the first settlers. During the
Indian trouble Mr.. Fuller was one of
the guards and once stood all night in
company with Frank Bunker, who is
remembered by our earlier residents.

to drive into Place the heavy timber

Indians were hung. This with his
other tools and implements was

privations of frontier life including
the panic of 1921 when money was

John e, Pugh.

John E. Pugh was born in North
Wales in August, 1888, and came to
this country when thirteen years old,
residing at various places, until his re-
moval to this county in July, 1855.
He came here with party who drove
twelve teams of oxen from Watertown,
Wis. There was nothing here then,
and not much at South Bend, where
he settled shortly, taking a claim
there. He was married to Miss Jones
in August, 1859. Mrs. Pugh was born
at Pittsburg, Pa, July 80. 1914, and
came here from =. Jackson county, Ohio

they now have a shop that has but
one equal in the state, and that is
located in st. Paul. If anybody wants
to see the kind of structural steel
work that the firm does, he can find
it in the interior of the new machine
shop.
The firm now consists of Louis and
Lawrence Mayer. They employ large
number of skilled mechanics They
have invented and patented trip
hammer that is being sold to small
blacksmiths all over the United States.
A number of orders have recently
been coming in from California. Thus
far this year 10 of the hammers have
been manufactured and sold, and the
orders are increasing from year to
year.

magnitude of Mayer Bros. plant and

times the Indians tried to get Mr..
Pugh to get whisky for them, as they
were perfectly willing to pay well
for it. They live in this city on Clark
street, coming here four or five years
ago, when they left the farm on
which they resided for many years.

The order of Elks is founded on chart
ty, its object being to care for its sick,
bury it's dead and educate the orphans.
But the order does great deal of
benevolent work outside of the order,
such as the furnishing of a room in
ST. Joseph's hospital and contributing
aid to the sufferers of the Hinckley
fire and later of the Galveston disas-
ter. Suffering humanity appeals
strongly to the Elks.
The Elks are firm believers in the
doctrine that the spirit of charity goes
hand in hand with the feelings Of
good cheer and fellowship and so the
{ jolliest of all lodges makes its guests
feel perfectly at home, and the visit

It brought me most satisfactory results. I used three bottles before I was completely cured, but | have had good cause to be grateful. for not only did my kidney trouble dis appear, but my general health improved and I havo been in good health ever since would not be without it for ten times it's cost" FRANCES MATOON

REPUBLICAN CONTINGENT
Which Arrived Too Late to Save
 the Day.

If the election which occurred on Tuesday had been postponed for some time the republican territorial ticket would have fared better. Reinforce ments' began 10 arrive on the following day, but the fight was then over and lost. If the republican managers knew they were coming they must have felt as Wellington did at Waterloo, when he prayed for the Prussians or night But Dr. Duffield was the Butcher Of this belated movement for the relief of the republican party of the territory and the county, but unlike the sweaf- ing Prussian commander he diily-dal- lied along with his forces until when he arrived in the field the republican banner was trailing in the dust and the democracy was in possession c: the field.
 Thus again was shown the error Of procrastination, as it has been shown a thousand times in this world but nobody seems to have ever prcfited by the showing.
