called him to serve the colors on those
bleak Dakota prairies. Brant frowned
at the innocent words, reading them
over again with gloomy eyes and an
exclamation of unmitigated disgust,
yet there was no escaping their plain
meaning. Trouble was und oubtedly
brewing among the Sioux, trouble in
which the Cheyennes, and probably
others also, were becoming involved
Every soldier patroling that long
northern border recognized the ap-
proach of some dire development,
some early coup of savagery.
Brant was not blind to all this, nor
to the necessity of having in readiness
selected bodies of seasoned troops, yet
it was not in soldier nature to refrain
from grumbling when the earliest de-
tail CHANGED to fall to him. But or
ders were orders in that country, ana
although he crushed the innocent pa
per passionately beneath his heel, five
hours later he was in saddle, riding

quietly down as one of those numer-
GUS posts with which the army chiefs
sought to hem in the dissatisfied red
men, and learn early the extent OF
their hostile plans.
Brant was now in a humor consid-
erably happier than when he first rode
forth from Bethune. He watched the
men of his troop while with quip and
song they made comfortable camp,
and then strolled slowly up the valley,
his own affairs soon completely Tor

Girl Cannot Pass Up Horse.

Omaha-On account of her mania
for stealing horses, which she seems
unable to control. Stella Bloom, a
16-year-old girl living at Sixteenth and
Martha streets, was committed to the
Good Shepherd home Monday morning
by Judge Kennedy of the juvenile
court She confessed she was unable
to keep from taking horses and
frankly told the court that she did not
know what could be done to- stop the
practice.
Last Thursday she went to livery
stable in South Omaha and ordered a
horse and buggy sent to a certain ad-
dress. When the horse arrived she
was dickering with a woman at the
number she gave for room and board.
She stopped her bargaining and
climbed into the buggy and drove
away In spite of diligent search
made by the police the animal was
not found until Sunday, when it was
located in a livery stable at Twenty
la was boarding it.
Up to a few months ago Stella had
her own horse and buggy, but the
animal died and since then she has
taken horses that did not belong to
her several times. She has been in
Juvenile court for this same offense
once or twice before. Her father and
mother have separated and her mother
seems to be unable to control Stella.

appointed from the eight magisterial
districts, one from each district, and
the mission of these men is to make
appointments of men to do soliciting

The date set for the next meeting
is Monday, July 20, at 10 O'Clock a..
m. in the city hall room.
There were a number OF interest
ing talks made and on the next meet
ing day it is expected that several
hundred people will be on hand.
The idea of this meeting as they
claim is that they desire to form an
Investigation committee and to in
vestigate the books regarding the
Idispensation of the funds distributed
for road work. These men who met
in this meeting allege that money is
being paid out illegally for road pur-
poses and they are seeking to learn
if their allegations we're well founded.
The purpose of appointing this
committee from each district is to en-
join, provided they find it is consti-
tutional, the road supervisor, T. G.
Pinson. from proceeding further on
the road work and giving orders to
the county court for work done.
1t was estimated that the cost to
secure an attorney to do the work
desired would cost about $500 and
when the appeal was made by the
chairman, Charley Austin, and other
Itillers of the soil, readily responded
and donated money in quantities
from 81 up, many, however, liber-
ally giving So.
