sioux INDIAN CHIEF IS A NOBLEMAN
Young Jordan, Otherwise Known as 'Red Cloud"
Descendant of a Crusade Leader.

Despite the many strange situations
In which scions of English nobility are
often found, there probably never has
been one found in a stranger position
than is young viii Jordan. who to-day
is chief Of a band of Sioux Indians,
but whose forefathers, centuries ago,
were Lords Galinger in Mayo.
And not only is he a chief among the
Sioux, but he is a Sioux ~himself-a
half-breed, descended on his mothers
side from the "bluest" blood among
the redskins, from no less a parsonage
than Maqpe-Luta, Red Cloud, the most
famous Indian chief of Western his
tory.
And on his white fathers side the
young man can trace his descent back
to that John de Coursey, lord of Calm
ger, who carried the standard Of the
English and Irish hosts in one of the
Crusades, and who, in that battle on
the banks of the River Jordan, be
tween the Christians and the Saracens
was given the name of Jordan" by
the English king because of his gallant
conduct and prowess. The ruins OF
Jordan castle still exist il the County
Meath, Ireland.
The Jordan family, or at least a part
of the family, came to the United
States 200 years ago, and the father OF
young VIII, Col. Charles Jordan, drift
ed up the great plains during the great
Indian wars. Col. Jordan's marriage
to an Indian princess, from which mar
riage VIII Jordan vas born. was one
of the romances of the West.
After reaching the plains, Col. Jor
dan became d government scout, and
In this manner became well acquainted
with Chief Red Cloud. Later he met
Red Clouds neice, Wee-Washte (Pret
ty Girl), and fell in love with her. Jor
dan talked the Sioux language like
native and the courtship was carried
on in that tongue.
But when the consent OF the ole
chief to the marriage Was asked. al
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1903-09-25

almost insurmountable difficulty arose.
No white nan had ever been married
to a Sioux princess. and It was neces-
sary to get the consent OF the entire
tribe, through the chiefs. And so a
grand council was called to consider
the matter. Red Cloud had become
very much attached to Jordan in the
years that the two had known each
other, and he used his mighty influence
in his white friends favor SO success
fully that the consent of the tribe was
given with certain provisos.
Wee-Washte must never learn n
word of English. Sioux must be spok-
en- in her household and that OF her
children forever. The children were
to be permitted to speak English while
away from the house. but the moment
one entered the home, English must
cease. And although Mr.. and Mrs.
Jordan have been married twenty-five
years or so, Wee-Washte knows no
language but her native one. Her
children are well educated. but they
speak Sioux in their home.
Some weeks ago Will Jordan, on
reaching his eighteenth birthday, was
! given the name of Red Cloud after
his uncle. 1t is customary for an In.
dian to take a new name when about
| eighteen years Old. A photograph OF
him made at that time shows him In a
~''sCalp-coat'' of the Sioux, given him by
| old Chief Spotted Tail, whose enemies
| scalps fringe the sleeves and edges OF
the buckskin coat. All the scalps were
taken from the heads of Crow Indians
with whom the Sioux were at war fol
hundreds of years. The exact mum
Der of scalps used in making the fringe
cannot be discovered, but not less thar
100 were necessary, while perhaps l5t
I were used. Years ago these scalI
coats were common, but to-day very
few are known to exist.
And that is how the descendant O.
the man whom the king delighted II
honor is one of the chiefs Of a tribe O
American Indians.

President Of the University Exoner-

Regents.

Regents.
The state board Of regents, by unan-
imous vote, completely e%xonerated
President Garrett Droppers Of the
state university from the charges OF
attempted bribery preferred by d. H.
Boot of Ute, Iowa. and also cleared
Prof. c.. M. Young of any connection
with the difficulty. The evidence plain
ly showed that President Droppers
was entirely innocent of attempted
bribery, notwithstanding the sworn
affidavit of Boot to the contrary.
Prof. Todd rendered his resignation
from the chair of geology and miner
alogy. 1t was accepted, together with
the resignation of Prof. Merchant OF
the Latin department, sent to the
board a week ago.
The board refused to make any fur
Their public statement Of its position.
There had been filed with the presi'
dent of the board the affidavit of Da-
vid II. Boot of the class of 1901, al
leging that an attempt had been made
by President Droppers cojointly with
Prof. Clark M. Young, to influence him
to give testimony against Prof. o. 4.
Hagen shortly before the latter YVES
removed from the faculty of the uni
versity, and hat as an inducement to
to influence his testimony against
Prof. Hagen he was to receive the de-
gree of M. A. at the close of the spring
semester without the formality of an
examination.
The affidavit was fortified with aft.
davits from Professors Todd and
Mernhart, and there was also on file
with the president of the board of re
/ gents an affidavit from Prof. Logan
who was dismissed from the faculty OF
the university something over a year
ago. This affidavit also supported the
accusations Of Student Boot.
There were also on file a~fidavits from
President Droppers and Prof. Youns
in rebuttal Of the accusations set fortf
in the affidavit of Mr.. Boot, as well a:
afidavits from professors and stu
dents tending to discredit the credi
bility and reliability of Mr.. Boot.
The mass of affidavits was rather
voluminous and was accompanied by
volume of personal correspondence
which aimed to be explanatory of tn
matter contained in the formal docu
ments.

MANY FARMS INVOLVED.
Heirs of Sanford Must Wait for Final
Distribution of Estate.

Distribution of Estate.
A case of great importance, as it in
wolves the ownership of lit farms of
100 acres each, has been taken under
Amusement by County Judge Bailey at
Sioux Falls. Edwin Sanford Of Morris,
Ill.,, died some time ago, leaving as a
part of his estate the quarter sections
In question. Isaac Hoge, also of Nor
ris, ILL.,, died, leaving about lit quar-
ter sections in this and other counties
of South Dakota. All Of this property
was acquired by Sanford and Hoge
through foreclosure of mortgages.
The heirs to the Hoge estate insti-
tuted an action in the Illinois courts
by which they sought to gain posses
sion of the III quarter sections left
by Sanford, claiming that Sanford was
simply holding the land in trust for
Hoge. While this suit is still pend
ing, heirs of Edwin Sanford are striv-
ing to force Samuel Richeson, admin.
istrator Of the Sanford estate, to make
a final distribution Of the property,
including the 1T South Dakota farms.
Richeson is resisting, alleging that he
is prevented by the Illinois action
from doing as the heirs request.

The University OF South Dakota
o,aned the new school year with the
fairest prospects for large attendance
:, the college proper and the law
school. The applications for admis-
sion and the calls for rooms are great
or than in almost any previous year,
A new course of study adapted to
tbe wants of the people of South Da-
tota and to the condition CT it's schools
vas adopted under President Drop
ner's administrator, replacing a more
nr less ironclad arrangement. This
new course seems admirably adapted
to the needs of the new state where
the high schools have not agreed on a
uniform course, or have done so SO re-
Gently that no result sare apparent.
This course of study was carefully
thought out and it is surprising that it
meets so many of the needs of the va
rious classes of students. It's require
ments for admission have followed
those of some of the best schools of
the country, requiring English and
mathematics in sufficient quantity to
insure successful work along these and
other lines. The university then &C
cents the work of high schools Of
which it approves, making a years
work of four recitations per week the
unit, to which it gives two credits. 1t
requires 26 credits for admission to the
freshman class. This puts the uni
yersity in touch with the high schools
of the state and enables any high
school with a four-year course to send
its graduates directly to the freshman
class, while it at the same time cred
Its every other high school with all its
work. It's freshman year is composed
of five groups, adapted to the wishes
and desires of the various classes OF
students. In each of these groups
however, mathematics. chemistry anC
English are found. AS the freshman
wear is made up Of five subjects, the

be taken. At the close Of the freshman
year an official adviser is appointed fol
each student and with his advice AM
consent the student now selects Tn
remainder Of his course as his tastes
and talents direct. The studies of tn
last three years are divided into foul
general groups, the language group
the general science group, the hlstor,
and social science group and the Eng
lish philosophical group. Each o
these is divided into several sur
groups. For instance, the languag
group is divided into the Latin-GreeS
Latin-French, Latin-German and Ger

ence group is divided into the mathe
matics- physics, chemistry-biology an
