Wild ducks are suffering in curious way at Oakland, Cal. The refuse from a big paint factory, floating on the waters of San Francisco Bay, has glued their wings to their bodies, and they die of starvation, because they can neither fly out of the water nor catch fish.

A western paper prints the following as a speech delivered by an Indian chief: 'tAll that the red man is to-day he owes to the paleface. We have been so benevolently assimilated that one measly government agent could round
 up and herd whole Indian reserva- tion. The paleface lobster gives us a bottle of whiskey with a string tied to it. And the string reaches to the feder- { al court room, where we lie around for couple of weeks while the witnesses are cashing in their pay vouchers. Then we walk home in a snowstorln. The sun of the red man is setting in the West. Soon will his copper colored tribes be assimilated by the copper trust, and he will be extinct. You may put him in a bicycle suit and ian shoes, but he will continue to yearn for planked rnuskrat and Jamaica ginger. His days are numbered. For few years he may powwow with the smooth gov- ernment commissioner, but he is fading away and you can see his finish. I have spoken"

WAS A GUARD AT HANGING
or Two Indians at Fort Smelling
Forty Years Ago.

FOEty CHES tASOs
The following from the St.
Paul Dispatch of a recent issue
was shown to H. J.. Benedict, of
this city who was stationed at
Fort Smelling at that time. The
article will be of much interest
to those who lived in the west dur
ing the terrible days of the Con.
federate war and Indian massa-
creS.
The execution of the two Indians
Tah-ta-chah-manne, alias Medicine
Bottle, and Shakopee, alias Little
Six, for participation in the massacre
of 1862, u yesterday at Fort
Smelling, and was witnessed by a
large concourse of people. The day
was one of the loveliest of our Indian
summer, the sun shining in all its
beauty. Father Ravoux was with
them early for the purpose of perform
ing the last religious rites, as he did
with the thirty eight Indian, who were
executed at Mankato.
Father Ravoux says the idea that
they we're Indifferent to the prospect
of death is a great delusion. They
had a marvellous power of ~concealing
their emotions, but their careless and
u~nconcerned manner was only main
tanned by a strong effort of the will
for they dreaded to meet death as
much as any one-and their affected
GOODNESS was the result of native
pride and that sort of bravery which
calmly faces the inevitable because it
would be shameful to show signs of
fear. AS they were taken into full
connection in the Catholic church it
is highly probable they made a full
confession, but what it was Father
Ravoux will probably never tell.
Thus ended the final scene in the
bloody drama Of the massacre of
Minnesota.
AS soon as the bodies were cut
down, a great yell went from the crowd
and such expressions as GLOW are
YOU, now, Pennsylvani quakers?"
"HOw are you, now, Massachus-
etts philanthropists?:" and other like
EXPLANATIONS could be heard on every
side. The crowd also made a rush
for the rope, each anxious to have
some memento of the memorable scene.
The rope and even portions of the
scaffolding was literally cut into frag.
ments. Some relic hunters even took
the hats worn by the Indians. They
were buried at 6 p. m. in the military
burying grounds.
Mr.. Benedict of this city and
Mr.. H.. M. Davis, of Owatonna,
Mimi, who was in Milbank, this
fall several weeks as the guests
of the former, were stationed at
Fort Smelling, after their return
from a hard trip to the Yellow
stone river, returning by way OF
Fort Sisseton, where Mr.. Bene.
dict assisted in the survey Of the
Sisseton Indian reservation.
Their Company G, Second
Minnesota, was then ordered tC
the Fort above mentioned and
did guard duty, until Nov. 18th,
1865, when they were mustered
out of service. Their last duty
for Uncle Sam was the guarding
of the gallows upon which the
above indians were hung.
Mr.. Benedict says the crowd
present were very orderly, and
not as the writer of the article
would have people believe, bois
ferrous and rough.

CAUGHT ON THE WING.
Snapshots Of People I'm Grant
County, Other Notes or In

M. j. Sackreiter, one of
Vernon's most prosperous farm
ers, was a Milbank visitor Mon
day. He had been out to the g.
D. Fairchild farm to get his new
ditching machine, which he re-
Gently received and had been
giving it a trial at that place.
Mr.. Sackreiter is always abreast
of the times when it comes to
farming-the reason Of his pros.
perity. Having about 100 acres
of land on his farm that was low,
not even yielding interest some
years, he set about to find a way
to remedy the trouble. After
due deliberation he decided to
purchase a ditching and dredg-
ing machine. 1t is of a modern
type, having plows, elevators,
ETC., 81 that teams may be driv-
en- along the side of the machine
and the earth carried up the ele-
yator and thrown on a wagon,
which is then hauled and dump.
ed, without the use of a shovel.
With it a ditch of fair depth,
from eighteen to twenty miles
long may be dug in one day, the
power being furnished by twelve
horses. A gas engine on the
machine furnishes the power to
run the elevator. This is the
first machine of the kind ever
brought into the county, and the
purchaser is to be complimented
on the move he has made.
If 1t is successful IN all it's opera
tons for dredging and ditching
it is safe to say that it
will not be long until there will
be several more purchased, as
the last few years have been bad
for the farmers who own low
land. With this outfit in the vi
entity, all land where horses can
walk may be turned into tillab]e
soil.
