INDIAN STOREHOUSES.
Light on Supposed Fire Places Found
Many Feet Underground.


Mandan, N. D., July 11.-Fargo
Forum: On returning from camping
trip up the Missouri with Indians, to
the old camping grounds north of Man.
dan, I hunt up in town back numbers
of daily papers so as to get in touch
with the world once more. And read.
ing the account of the discovery Of
"two fireplaces near together" eight
feet below the surface, in butte near
where Sitting Bulls men, who fed
when he was really assassinated in
his tent, (true facts, not fiction) fell.
On reading Of these fireplaces over
which eight feet of various kinds of
strata formed, show that the Indians
must have made them from, 10000 to
$4,000 years ago. tell my camp
friends, the Indians, about it. The
old men laugh and inform me that the
big white men have made a mistake.
They say these two places are not
f1re-places at all, but safe deposits
for food, dried fruits, wild rice, dried
oats, etc. These were usually two in
number and near together, they tell
me; though sometimes they were
three or only one in number. And
while small band of Indians might
dig only as deep as a mans breast
the usual depth was about twice that
depth. Stones placed in the bottom
would make white man who does not
know Indian ways think they were
big fireplaces, but such they were not.
On depositing the edibles the dirt was
filled into the hole again and the pro-
visions would keep two or three years
if not needed the next winter. These
holes were always made on top of a
hill or butte.
Now whether biologists or Indians
are correct in this matter cannot say
or even form notion for myself as
have not seen the place or looked with
careful, unprejudiced eyes to see
whether strata Immediately over the
"freplaces" eactly match strata in the
vicinity; or whether anywhere in the
vicinity on either two or four large
rocks there are marks Look sharp
for them as a white man may over
look them.) But it is quite as sensible
to my mind to call these safe deposits
for food as "fireplaces" over which
eight feet OF varying strata have
formed since they were built, some of
which antedate the glacial period,
Noah's ark, the fall of Ninevah, etc.

It is given out by the Grand Forks
Herald that the officers of the North
Dakota national guard are favorable to
the elevation of Capt. w. R. Purdon of
Co. Of Wahpeton, to the Office of ad-
iutant general in case Col. Creel de-
cides to retain his government position
In the department of agriculture, or
that Governor Sarles concludes that
his appointment is in violation of the
law passed last winter providing for
the appointment of staff officers
from the field or line. In the effort to
secure the appointment of Capt. Pur-
don his friends it would seem are
destined to come in contact with a
constitutional provision that is even a
stronger barrier than the statutory
one which it is claimed disqualifies
COL Creel. Capt. Purdon it will be
remembered was a member of the last
house of representatives and chairman
of the house committee on military
affairs, and had charge of and par
ticipated in the passage of all meas
ures affecting the state militia, and
among these measures was House Bill
No. 100, introduced by Capt. Purdon
himself, providing for the appointment
Of national guard officers from it's field
or line. He also had charge during it's
consideration by the house of Senator
Sharpe's Senate Bill No. 50, provid-
ing for increased duties and salary of
the Office of adjutant general. Section
80 of the constitution provides that
mo member Of the legislative assem-
bly, shall during the term for which he
was elected, be appointed or elected
to any civil Office in this state which
shall have been created or the emolu-
ments of which shall have been in
creased during the term for which he
was elected; nor shall any member
receive any civil appointment from the
governor, or governor and senator,
during the time for which he shall
have been elected"

STATE NEWS.

There was small cyclone in the
neighborhood Of Dalrymple west of
Fargo but no damage was done.
Two farmers, their lands and houses
only divided by the Sheyenne river,
puzzled their brains in the endeavor
to plan cheap yet substantial bridge.
An employe of one of the farmers sug-
gested that they make a suspension
bridge Of fence wire and forthwith it
was done. They used woven wire
fencing and fastened planking to it
after anchoripg it to trees on either
bank. 1t is five feet wide has guard
rails and will support as many per.
sons as can get on it.
The Fourth of July celebration at
Darlington was the cause Of an ex-
traordinary occurrence. A 14-year-old
boy, named Tom Hunt, suffered severe
though not permanent injuries while
engaged in discharging toy cannon
ON the pavement. The remarkable
feature of the accident is the fact that
his hair, which was dark brown, al.
most black, has turned to a decided
shade OF red. His parents and the
townspeople marvel at this strange
change, but the boy himself seems to
enjoy the novelty. He is the son Of
G. A. Hunt, who runs large general
store here.

Receipts of cattle at this market

at last weeks close Top price for fat
steers thus far this week is $6O5.
There have been a few sales at $500,
but it takes something very good to
sell above s5.75.
Our reports from the range country
are to the effect that grass was never
better, at least in most sections, and
as water is plentiful-too much so in
many cases, fat grassers are assured.
The excessive rains have made washy
grass and dry weather is needed to
cure the grass and give it substance.
We do not look for much of a move
ment of western cattle before August
first, although a few scattering ship
ments may arrive the latter part of
this month.
Receipts of sheep last week were

ceeding week and also over the cor

There is very strong demand for
good western lambs, as evidenced by
the above. Spring lambs are quoted
at s6.75@$s.25, and coming yearlings,
shorn, at $6.50@s6.s5, with feeding
grades at s4.25@$5.OO. It is evident
that lamb prices are inflated and re-
action Is likely to set in at any time.
Western range wethers are quotable
at s5.15@s5.75 and ewes $5.OO@$5.5O.
