MAY DAY LONG YEARS AGO
Uncle Morris Writes of Crawford
County May Day in 1857

May LIST, 1857 and for a few days
thereafter Crawford county was an
armed Camp or Camps. Ida
County settlers heard rumor that
the Santu Sioux Indians were again
on the war path and as this was a few
weeks after the Spirit Lake Massacre
the story was easily credited. The
only settlers in Ida county were a few
families along the Maple river and as
they we're on the extreme border of
settlement and no one between them
and the Sioux they packed their most
valuable possessions, consisting large
ly of children and guns and fled to the
settlements in Crawford county aban-
doning their stock and everything that
hindered their fight. When they
reached here, the news created a great
commotion three forts were quickly
established. Fort Jesse Mason on
the east side of Mason's Grove, Fort
Benjamin Dobson, in the now city of
Deloit, third fort, Fort John Purdy
on what is now the Marshall farm
in the northeast corner of the city
limits of Denison. Guns were care
fully located and as there were not
guns enough to go around, plenty Of
good hickory clubs were cut and held
in readiness for the last hand to
hand conflict with the dreaded saw
ages.
The writer had been on a survey
and on returning May LIST, to the
peaceful home of Benjamin Dobson,
found a veritable fort with armed
men valiantly standing guard over the
defenceless women and children.

Sciatica Cured Alter Twenty Years Of
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr..
]. B. Massey of 1922 Clinton St,
Minneapolis, Mimi, was tortured by
sclatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time is
beyond comprehension. Nothing gave
him any permanent relief until he
used Chamberlain s Pain Balm. One
application of that liniment relieved
the pain and made sleep and rest pos
sible, and less than one bottle has
effected permaent cure. If troubled
with sciatica or rheumatism why not
try Is cent bottle of Pain Balm and
see for yourself how quickly it re-
ceives the pain. For sale by Ph. A.

womANs SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING


Hon. w. S. Collins, President of
the Big Horn County Irrigation Com
pany says
"I have lived in the State of WY
oming twenty one years and during all
that period women have voted at all
elections. 81
81 have often found newcomers
averse to women voting. This soon
wears off and in year or two hus-
band and wife, brother and sister,
father and mother and daughter and
son go to the polls together, the same
as to any other meeting. There is
nothing thought of it, no remarks
made about it except by some tender
foot Just from the East and he is not
encouraged to repeat them.
Women are no more corrupted by
voting with their fathers, brothers
and husbands than they are by going
with them to any other kind of a
meeting. 1t lifts up and ennobles the
men. Woman's influence for go6d
is felt there as it is in the home and
around the fireside. 4
tThe polls are arranged with full.
knowledge that women will go there
to vote. Should any man attempt to
locate polling place where woman
hould not go, that man would have
short shrift. Woe unto the man who
would show anything but respect to
woman at the polls, no matter what
kind of a woman she is.
"There is very little bribery here.
The man who electioneers with
whiskey is sure to be.beaten and it is
not attempted very often.
"Women almost invariably split
their tickets. They vote for the men
they deem to be the best and it fol-
lows that all parties endeavor to put
up their best men and so the best men
are elected. Women everywhere are
always in favor of law and order.
1t is owing to the women s vote that
our young State, where the Cowboy
still fourishes, has stringent laws
against gambling.
i "Women here read of State affairs,
notice what their Congressman are
doing at Washington and go to politi-
cal meetings.
"Does it unsex women? No! 1t is
good to see intelligence flash from
their eyes. They can see clear through
I, lord of creation from the effete East
and hand him the answer when he
remarks about their having hand in
government.
}, "Bad women do vote but they dc
not take much interest. They trouble
!. good women no more at the polls thar
they do at the bargain counter or the
\ theater.
! Women appear no more out o:
, place at the polls than they do at i;
festival or fair. 2
t'Citizens of Wyoming are prout
that the Constitution of our State wa
the first for equal political rights. -

At the banquet he was scheduled for

We heard a real compliment for
the women of Denison not long ago.
A visitor who attended ladies party
here said: "a game really seems to
be unnecessary, all of you ladies are
so social and talk so we'll, where 1
live we wait for the game to begin in
stony silence. This is really a
charming compliment. Conversation,
the exchange of thought, a good talk,
is the consummate pleasure society
can give us. All socially minded
men and women will, think agree
to this.

Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-10-05

We welcome the statement from Fish
and Game Commissioner Thomas in re-
gard to our criticisms of his work. We
are particularly glad to hear about
that extensive library pertaining to
fish and game That Mr., Thomas has
taken notice of our fault-fnding is an
indication that his time is not so fully
taken up but that he gets chance to
read the newspapers. Mr.. Thomas re-
fers to the small delegation from Brat
tleboro that appeared before him two
years ago and tried to induce him to
get the law amended to open the trout
season April |. He ncglccts, however,
to mention the hamboyant speech
which he made at that hearing-a
speech in which he stoutly asserted that
trout spawn in the spring and that ac,
cording to Frank l.. Fish there was
not a sportsman in Windham county.
In his own opinion Mr.. Thomas is an
excellent fish and game commissioner.
How much that opinion is shared by
hunters and fishermen throughout the
state is entirely another question. As
far as the sportsmen of Windham coun-
ty are concerned 1--WE feel safe in us
ing that term in spite of the commits
siouer asscrtion) the majority believe
that the interests of Vermont fish and
game would be much better subscrved
by the appointment of man with
more practical knowledge and less bonn
bast than the present incumbent pos
scsses. What we and Mr.. Pierce don I
know about fish and game would doubt
less fill a good-sized volume, but what
Mr.. Thomas does know about these
topics, if appearances are not deceit
full, could be written very easily on the
white edges of a postage stamp.

Everything Done Haphazard.

Attorney. General Fits lucid, thorough and
exhaustive report on the charges against the
state cattle commission in connection with
the sale OF diseased meats shows loose,
careless and irresponsible methods in the
work of the commission. The bookkeeping
was not properly attended to, the disposition
of condemned cattle was not looked after
thoroughly; everything was done in a hap.
hazard manner That is the substance Of
Attorney General Fits report.
The parties chiefly in interest as accused
of Irregularities will be attended to by the
Chttenden county grand jury now in SEES.
sion. 1t has devoted an almost unexampled
length of time to this investigation and the
results may be expected to be commensurate
with the length and presumptive thoroughness
Of the inquiry.
As to DR.. Rich, Governor Bell takes prompt
action. Regarding him as derelict In duty,
Governor Bell says, in substance, in not
looking more carefully after sales of diseased
cattle to the Burlington Rendering company,
Governor Bell removes him from Office, leav.
ing vacancy for Governor-elect Proctor to
FILL Governor Bell in the closing hours of
his term of office again vindcates the conf
dence of the people in him by prompt and
vigorous action. This can be said truthfully,
without reference to the details of the case.
The report Of the attorney general shows
painly---if there were any doubt of it before
that the cattle law needs complete and
drastic revision. With the popular interest
in the subject and the long discussion of the
matter, the incoming legislature may be
trusted to do the right thing. The dis
closures and the agitation will in the end
prove great benefit to the state and its
people.

sometimes public documents which can
not wisely be made public at once; but
our contention in reference TO the beef
report was based on firm conviction
that there was no good reason for
withholding it, and events have justi'
fled this conviction. The only reason
assigned was that the matter was be-
fore the grand jury, The matter is
still before the grand jury, no action
having been taken; but because his
term of office expired this week, Gov
ernor Bell overlooked an objection to
publicity that had kept the report n
secret for over two weeks. There is
nothing in the report, publication OF
which could hinder the grand jury. The
original report of the encouragement
made public for campaign purposes be-
fore election and quite misleading in
its inference, was not withheld for fear
of interfering with the grand jury
The Banner is right in saying that the
governor should pay his whole attcn'
ton to the public good. If il were APP
parent that he had done so in withhold
ing the report. we should beg his par
don and admit that we were hasty.

Fits Campaign Speeches Have Odd Flavor

We shall not make here any extended
comments on the second report Of Attorney
General Fits on the state traffic In diseased
beef We prefer 10 wait until the grand jury
Of Chittenden county finishes It's work The
attorney generals campaign speeches on the
rotten beef traffic have an odd flavor in view
Of the latest developments. DR.. Rich has
fallen at the first fire. It will be interesting
TO witness the efforts to save the rest Of the
cattle commission. The governor has started
the game by giving them a sort Of "charac.
ter But he was a cattle commissioner once
and has personal knowledge Of how con.
demned cattle were formerly disposed Of by
the state.
one Of the notable features Of this business
is the lack OF any proper record Of the de.
tails Of It's transaction. Either no account
books were kept or the attorney general does
not understand how to get at them. He
takes a wise step, however in calling upon
r. s. Pratt Of Brattlcboro, the expert ac.
countant to try his hand at IL. But it is
obviously improper TO draw final conclusions
so long as the grand jury is carrying on its
Investigations.

The Bennington Banner says the
Reformer was too hasty in criticising
Governor Bell for Withholding the re-
port of Attorney General Fits on the
beef scandal; and that it is not the

a report bearing on the public service
by giving it to the newspapers. The
Banner. in its well-meant effort to say
good word for the governor, loses
track of the question raised by the Re-

ton as to public reports, but specific
one as to the particular report under
discussion. We agree that there are
