GUNS THREATEN GRAVE D|CC[RS
After Being Forced 10 Leave One Location Party with Corpse
Succeed in Ruryns Body Elsewhere.

The corpse of a stranger moving
about the prairies in this section was
not in the nature of a ghostly vista
ton, but the outcome OF several home
steaders, armed with shotguns, refus-
ing to permit interment upon their
land, says a report from Murdo Mac
Kenzie.
With nothing upon his person to

PEELED to take charge Of the burial,

But Murdo Mackenzie is a new
town, having been incorporated less
than month, and as yet owns no
burial plot. So the body of the strang-

taken outside the city limits, where
the work of digging grave was start

INDIAN SCHOOL ROLL At BEST
BED Men and Children Take Pride Progress
Training Is Extended to Farming.

The attendance at the government
indian school In Pierre, under the man
agement of Supt. Levengood, is up TO
the maximum, and even little above,
1853 pupils being enrolled. A new build
ing is being erected, and with this
completed the capacity of the school
will be increased to 225
The school was badly run down
when Mr.. Levengood took charge, and
since that time it has been built up in
every way as to attendance and i'm
provements to the buildings and
grounds. For a number Of years prob
ably half the attendance Of the school
was from the Chippewa tribe in Min
nesota, but at present almost the total
attendance is Sioux from the reserva-
tons in South and North Dakota, Mon
tana and a few from Minnesota.
This year the boys at the school as
sisted in the care and management of
garden of forty acres, in which prac-
tically all the vegetables used by the
school through the summer and for
winter storage were secured. Besides
the garden, the hay was secured from
a meadow of 100 acres. In manual
training the boys are given instruction
In carpentry, blacksmithing and me-
chanical engineering; while the girls
assist in the cooking, laundry and 9TH
er domestic work of the school.

legal right there the undertaken was
&C mpelled to transfer his operations to
an adjoining quarter, also outside the
city limits.
Here another grave was dug and the
body lowered into it. The minister
read chapter of the Bible, offered a
short prayer and the undertaken and
spectators joined him in a hymn. Then
the grave was filled. AS the last
shovel of earth was thrown upon the
rough coffin another irate homestead
er. armed with shotgun and accompa-
MED by neighbor, similarly armed,
appeared upon the scene.

But he's buried now,'' argued the

"Well, you dig him up, and dig him
up in hurry, or there'll be trouble"
replied the horesteader, emphasizing
his remarks with a flourish of the shot
gun.
Here the minister and others pres
ent interfered and at last succeeded in
inducing the homesteader to allow the
grave to remain unopened until the
new town could secure burial plot,
when, it was promised, the body at
once would be removed.

states.
I'VE have correspondent with the
commissioners of agriculture in the
Southern states asking them to encour-
age a number Of colored farmers to
take up homesteads in the West as a
means of bettering their condition. |
am happy to say that not only have
the commissioners of agriculture given
attention to our movement in the
South, but some of the governors are
friendly to it.
You ask how the movement is sup
ported? AS our movement is similar
to the church immigration society in
England we have adopted the same
methods Of accomplishing our object.
Funds are raised in various ways to as.
siGt in the movement and transporta-
ton is often furnished to the immi-
grants.
Il think it is a better investment for
the charitably inclined to help the race
to place where they can help them
selves ultimately than to be eternally
helping them in the same place.
"The race problem will be settled
much quicker by putting the colored
people in a position to live independ-
ent of the white man. An industrial
training will not solve it. An artisan
is dependent, but a farmer is independ-
ent. No one thing can possibly solve
the race problem"

Far West looking up suitable places
for agricultural colleges.
