SLUGGED A CYCLIST
A Minneapolis Man Precipitates a
Row in St. Paul.

A motor cyclist who never knew what
struck him. and probably never will know,
came to grief in st. Paul yesterday. At
Wabasha and Seventh streets he collided
with a lady whose husband became his
aggressor, and in consequence j. II. Law
renee, the aggrieved party, and j. Bevaw,
the cyclist, were compelled to deposit $40
each for their later appearance in court,
where the case will be fought out. The
real wrecker Of the cyclist was Min
neapolis man well known on change, who
told the story to q. few friends this morn
ing.
While stepping off the car in ST. Paul
just behind lady he saw a motor cyclist
approaching. The machine ran so close
to the lady that the handle bar struck her
She staggered back and on the spur OF
the moment the Minneapolis man raised
his left and caught the cyclist on the
jaw, sending him and. his machine slid
ing twenty feet. Then followed an all
around mix-up. Officers arrived and a
great crowd gathered and while the argu-
ing grew louder and louder, the Mime
apolis man who struck the blow, stepped
on a car and returned home.

A BAND OF INDIANS
Musical Youngsters From the White
Earth Reservation Playing in
Minneapolis To-day.
Superintendent Lipps Tells Of Agent
Michelet's Broad Plans for
Education.

Superintendent Lipps of the Indian
school at White Earth agency is in Min
neapolis to-day with the schools band.
I'VE have brought the band down to
Minneapolis to play for the carnival he
explained. 1T consists of seven girls and
eighteen boys, all schol children and In
dian employees of the school. The band
was organized a little more than a year
ago and has been instructed by an Indian
employee of the school. We expect to par
ticipate in the street parade to-day and in
the band contest. The main object of our
coming is to give the Indian children a
view of city life. We do not expect, how
ever, to compete with professional bands,
as our pupils are young and have had lit
tie experience in playing before the pub
lie.
In regard to the Indian school work
of the White Earth reservation, more and
better facilities are needed for the in
struction Of the Indian children on the
reservation. There are now on the reser-
walton three boarding schools and Cath
ole mission school for girls with COM
bined capacity Of about 400 pupils. There
are about 800 pupils on the White Earth
reservation attending different non-reser-
walton Indian schools. There are still a
great many children on the reserva ton
who are not in school. Simon Michelet,
the agent, has recommended to the In
dian office that the Pine Point and Wild
Rice river boarding schools, which are
now In dilapidated condition., be abol-
ished and that the White Earth boarding
school be enlarged so as to accommodate
225 pupils instead of $50, it's present ca
pacity. He has recommended that addi-
t1onal day schools be constructed in the
| thickly settled portions of the reservation
Tor the accommodation of the more pro-
gress1ve Indians who are living on their
farms and whose habits and customs are
similar to those of white communities ad
lacent to the reservation. It is intended
by this means to provide facilities for the
education of every child on the reserva-
| t1on We contend that good citizenship
and the final absorption of the Indian into
| the population of the state depends
largely upon the education of the Indiar
youth. We do not hope nor expect tt
change the old Indian from his present
way of living, but in educating the rising
| generation the ultimate solution. of the
Indian problem depends. It is believed
that the recommendations of Agent Mich

reservation will receive favorable consid

HE HAS The RECORD
Sylvester statler the Oldest Inhabi-
tant in Point Of Minnesota
Residence.
He Remembers When st. Anthony
Falls Were Farther Down
the River.

Sylvester Statler Of Faribault, one Of the
few remaining members of the Old Set
tiers association, has just discovered that
he has lived in Minnesota longer than
any other male settler. He came to the
last meeting of the association, lust
closed, and visited with his nephew, j. T..
ElWell.
In giving some "reminiscences, Mr..
Statler mentioned the interesting fact that
for years he held a peculiar governmental
position, that of blacksmith to the In
dams. Barring one instrument, a sort of
lance much priced by the redskins, he
was to make for them tomahawks and
axes for cutting, hunting parapher-
MALTA and the like, and to repair guns.
using his own Judgment as to what he
should manufacture. What the Indians
wanted principally was the prohibited
lance, and Mr.. Statler was kept for two
years in kindling wood by the discarding
of the hundreds of models which the
natives brought in until they discovered
it was no use.
When Mr.. Statler was sent among the
Indians near Grow Wing he had an early
encounter which insured him against at
tacks by the aborigines. He came to
camp suddenly and found two redskins
stealing everything they could lay hands
on. He fired them out of camp anG
pushed them up the trail They resisted
ana drew knives WhereupOn he batteC
their heads together and banished then
effectually. The news spread thru all the
tribes that he was a bad man and after.
ward both Chippewas and Sioux regarded
him with deep interest
Mr.. Statler came to Minnesota in 1874:
and still is farmer at Faribault at the
age Of So. He went first to Saltwater
where men were unloading machinery fol
the first saw mill. Mr.. Statler was thu
blacksmith and turned out all the iror
work. This was In 1913, and there is still
living in Saltwater, Mrs. CarIi, probabl,
the oldest living woman inhabitant of TIL,
state, who was there when the saw mil
was being built.
Where St. Paul stands Mr. Statler saw
six log cabins in 1886 when he started il

there was nothing. Recent investigated
