DEATH OF WHITE CALF.
Famous Blackfset Warrior Saw the
President Just Before He Died.


The body of White Calf. chief of thu
Blackfeet tribe OF Indians, who died
last Thursday night in the Providence
hospital, Washington d. c.. was start
ed from that city last night on its
western journey to be buried in the
land of his fathers. A few days before
he died ne shook hands and had an
interview with President Roosevelt
George Bird Grfnnell. editor of Forest
and Stream, who is head chief Of the
White Calf a few hours before he died.
Speaking yesterday of the life Of White
Calf. Mr.. Grinneu said.
At the time White Calf was born
more than eighty years ago, the Black
feet tribe was the most feared and
powerful tribe of Indians in the north
west They numbered about 1900
people and they claimed as tneir own
particular territory a stretch of land
about 400 miles square. extending froE
the Red Deer river on the north in Brit
isn America to the Yellowstone River
on the south
White Calf's reputation as a brave
warrior brought him into early prom
iueRce. and when the treaty was made
in 1855 by Gov 1. I. Stevens acting
for the United States with the Black
feet Piegans, eros Nentres and other
tribes of Indians, this chief. then known
as the Feather, took a prominent part
IN the debate and affixed his signature
to the compact The effect of the treaty
was to give white people permission
to travel through the country without
molestation.
In the ten years following, White
Calf led many detachments of mis- tribe
in warfare against the Crows. Sioux
Snakes and Flatheads- In 1867 occurred
the biggest fight in which he ever par
ticipated In this battle ne and his fol
lowers killed over 4G0 Grows and CTros
Ventres- White Calf signally dis
unguished himself by riding into the
very thick of his enemies and rescuine
Wolf Calf from their hands Just as they
were about to dispatch him. Many
Horses, chief of the Blacl1feet tribe
met his death in this tight. and not
long afterWard White Calf was chosen
as his successor.
The Blackfeet reservation now
comprises about 1000 900 acres Of land
in northwestern Montana Just east OF
the Rocky Mountains and northwest
from Fort Benton. the center Of the fur
trade q number of years ago The tribe
nov numbers only about 2. 600 1t was
In connection with matters concerning
the Blackfeet reservation that White
Calf came to Washington in company
with three or four other chiefs of the
tribe
President Roosevelt received the old
chief with great cOrdiialitv White Calf
argued that if the white mems cattle
we've let on the reservation, on which
they had long set cOvetOus eyes. their
gardens and pasture land which were
unprotected by fences, would be deva-
stated In addition, he believed that
the cowboys in rounding up the cattle
of the white men would steal many Of
the calves belonging to his tribesmen.
The agent with half q dozen Indians
and half breeds argued the other way
but the president decided in favor Of

At $50 the third and last stage of the
first day of the match was begun, with
every team battling for higher totals before
the sound of the bugle closing the first day.
The weather conditions were practically
about the same, with the exception of the
wind, which had dropped considerably, and
| gave tbs rtfemen good chance to peg
away at the targets. The temperature had
risen slightly and the atmosphere was not
! quite SO chilly. The light on the targets
remained the same.
AS soon Major Guilfoyle reached the
| firing line in the afternoon he ordered the
space between the shooters and the ropes
cleared except the range officers, scorers
and members of the team, and when this
was done the bugler was given orders
to sound the warning note for the last
stage OF the match. In calling the states
for the 6O0-yard stage the spectators
joyed the answers which were given the
names when called. In several instances
the team captains announced everything
! ready. except the targets whereupon
they were told to never mind the targets,
ter all along the line. His commands could
be distinctly heard at any point on the
line, and were always obeyed Immediately
Heavy Rainfall
About o'clock last evening. while the
last stage was in progress, another heavy
shower came up and continued throughout
the remainder of the match. The rain
made 1t uncomfortable for the rif1emen
and, as the atmosphere clouded the light
on the target became worse, and before
the match was over the conditions were
very poor for good scoring. Those who
were not prepared for the stormy weather
sought shelter while the shooters continued
to pour the lead into the targets from
where they lay stretched out on the wet
ground.
At the close of the first days shooting
the District team, which had remained in
seventh position at the two shorter ranges
was in fourth place, with total score Of
1,534 points The standing of the teams

EMPEROR ON THE FIELD.
Led Cavalry Corps Against saxons in
Sham Battle

dispatch from Halle, Prussia last night
says: The emperor. who is attending the
army maneuvers in this vicinity, passed the
night under a huge asbestos tent.
An officer of the general staff gave his
majesty explanation last night of the
battle of Rossbach (where Frederick the
Great, November 8, 1857, defeated the
French under Marshal Soubise), attributing
the victory of Frederick the Great to the
use he made of his cavalry.
The emperor today led a cavalry corps,
composed of sixteen regiments on the Prus-
sian or so-called Red army side, against
the Saxon army otherwise the Blues. The
empress and Princess Victoria Louise
followed the operations in a four horse car
riage. The empress was in the field before
o'clock this morning.
The 1900 horse led by the emperor
the dry fields over which they passed which
betrayed the movements of the cavalry.
The Saxons. who were entrenched and who
had cleverly posted their artillery, receive
ed the attack with the fire of all their ma
chine and other quick firing guns in way
that in real war would have quickly deci-
mated the emperors force. But, the en-
peror galloped on in whirlwind Of dust,
penetrated the Saxon line. and the umpire
decided that the SaXons were defeated and
caused them to retreat across the Saale.

by and Lieutenant Farrow. Two sighting
shots were allowed each man. The first
stage was shot on the 2OO-yard range.
After Appleby had fired his two sighting
shots fine drizzle commenced and con-
tinued through until the match was con-
cluded on this range. AS the rain increased
stiff. cold wind from the northeast blew
across the range At times 1t increased to
a gale and greatly retarded the riflemen

the wind, and on his last shot was COM

of A out of possible so. FarrOw was less
fortunate, and, owing to the strong wind
never got in the bull s-eye at all at 200
yards
The first two men were followed by Ma
1ors Young and Reichelderfer. but by the
time 1t came their turn to shoot the wind
velocity had gained considerable and one
bull was all that each of them could land
on the target. The rain increased from
drizzle and sprung into a light shower. but
the shooting continued through it ALL 1t
was during the strong wind that Young
had one of his shots carried completely off
the target, and although the shot was chal-
lenged. he was scored a miss.
Major Harvey. who shot in the next round
with Private Fink. managed to score three
bulls. the remainder of his shots being
fours. The men from the District took
plenty Of time with each shot, and were
among the last of the teams to leave the
short range. In Captain Robbins string a
shot was challenged. after waiting several
minutes for the target to be pulled, and
after telephoning to the pits. the Captain
was given five In the meantime the shot
was clearly visible on the target. and this
fact was attested by a range officer who
was called to witness the shot.

HIS "BUZZARD" WILL FLY.
Opinion of Mr.. Berliner Regarding His
Aerial Machine.

Mr.. Emile Berliner of I'LL P street north
west has just returned to Washington from
Harvest Lake, Pa, where he has been
spending the summer. Mr.. Berliner is at
present engaged in perfectfng flying ma
chine, the plan of which was outlined sew
eral weeks ago in these columns. When
seen by a reporter for The Star today Mr..
Berliner said
II have had good rest this summer and
am wound up for a good winters work on
my proposed invention. There is nothing
new to give out at this time with regard
to my flying machine, but / hope within a
month to be able to show some gratifying
results from my years of study and labor
on the aerial machine"
do you think your 'buzzard' will fy2"
Mr.. Berliner was asked.
You bet 1t will, when I get 1t completed
and perfected" he replied. "Of course 1t
may be some time before that result is at
tanned, but have confidence that my buzz

scoring 48 out of possible so. He. started
his string with three bulls and wound up
with five more. Other men on the District
team who made good scores at this range
were Privates Fink and Pile. both of whom
made Al apiece and Captain Robbins, with
40. The low men were Major Young and
Lieutenant Farrow.
Crowds Followed Teams.
AS the weather cleared off in the last
hours of the match the interest Increased
from stage to stage. and when the match
closed at shutdown the crowd of spectators
had doubled. AS the competing teams
would increase their lead the crowds would
flock in the vicinity of the scoring boards
and watch each shot as it was being added
to the records in the big match. Toward
evening the weather became very cool and
overcOats. capes and blankets came in very
comfortable The ground still being wet
from the morning showers made it rather
unpleasant walking about the range

the northeasterly direction
The light on the targets was excellent
and little time was lost in getting down to
work on this range, in order that the last
stage of the first day at 600 yards could be
completed by 9 o'clock.
To Maj. Guilfoyle is given the credit for
the excellent manner in which he conduct
ed the arrangements for the match, and the
vast difference between the way in which
he managed the big match and the usual
manner in which the affairs of the range
are conducted was very decided and notice.

were enough to display that, and when he
gave an order. which could be heard for
several hundred feet away, 1t was respond
ed to and carried out to the letter.
Everything on the range during the entire
day moved like clockwork and surprised a
great many of the riflemen present at his
capabilities Before commencing firing on
any of the ranges he would call out each
state, to which the team captain responded.
In the event that any of the states did not
respond to his call he continued to call the
name of the state until response was re-
ceived. Little time was lost from this
cause, however most of the captains
were present Immediately after vacating
the shorter range.
Gen. Haywood Present.
During the shooting in the afternoon Cen
