was pulled off here. during the .festivi-
ties that has created considerable talk,
and an arrest was ayertedi only through
the diplomatic action of friends of one

when the crowd gathered on the side

on" Among the number was Henry
Kause, who did not move fast enough to
suit the officer. Downs is said to have
ordered Kause off the walk and mot to
make any fuss about it, or get lppy.
Kause did not get hppy,' but he did
lead out with his right and according
to the story told by eyewitness, land

ARTERIES SEVERED
Exciting Race for Doctor Lest Even
ing to Save Boys Life.


Andrew, the young son of William
Schwender, the garage proprietor, met
with an accident early last evening that
nearly proved fatal. He was playing
back of the garage on North Front
street when he fell upon broken bot
tie, making deep cut i'll the palm OF
his left hand. All of the arteries were
severed, and the blood spurted out IN
streams. Those present tied the lads
wrist as well as possible to stop the
flow of blood, but in this they were un-
successful.
One of the automobiles in the gar
age was taken out and q race was made
with the lad to doctors office. The
first two visited were empty, but lin
ally doctor was found and dressed
the injury and stopped the flow of blood.
The lady was very weak from loss OF
blood when he was treated, and had
little more time elapsed he might have
died About fifteen minutes elapsed from
the time of the accident until phys
ician was found.

WALTER HUTTON'S THEORY
Believes Skeletons Were Those Of
White Men, His Reasons.


Walter Hutton, ninety years old, who
lives in Rapidan, is of the opinion that
the skeletons found on the Mitchell farm,
are those of white men and not of In
dams as has generally been believed.
Mr.. Hutton lived among the Indians in
this section back in the early fifties.
He hunted with them, trapped with
them was and the companion of the red
men for several years. He states that
never in all his experience with the In
dams did he hear them tell of any of
their forefathers having been buried at
the spot where the skeletons were un-
covered, and Indians, he claims, have
means of communicating historic events
from one generation to another.
Mr. Hutton is of the belief that a
number of white men were killed by
Indians and were buried by members
of another tribe. Had white men buried
dead Indians they would have simply
dug trench and laid the bodies in
the opening. The manner of their burial
causes Nj. Hutton to stick to his the
ory that the skeletons are those of
early voyagers in the region.

name of Daisy May Hail of Lamberton

the next grand jury, being unable to
furnish $1,000 bail required and will re-
main in jail About two months ago
this man Briske is alleged to have left
his family and it was thought eloped
with the fifteen year-old girl. Nothing
was heard from them until about two
weeks ago, when they returned and went

lived together at Omaha for time, but
finally decided to come back home Ac-
cording to the girls story she was taken
away against her will.
Last Wednesday the sheriff was called
to arrest Henry Barger of Paxton town
ship, for attempting to kill p. c. Huske,
manager of the Gilfillan farm with Il
pitchfork. Several ugly wounds were
inflicted in the latters arm. which ma
prove serious.
Barger is heavy drinker and has of
late abused his wife beyond her endur
ance and she had just started divorce
proceedings, being unable to live with
him. Last Tuesday night he came home
drunk and his wife went to Huske's
for protection. The next day Huske
went to see Barger with view of patch
ing up the trouble in the Barger family
when he was attacked by Barger with
the above result. The assailant will
probably remain in jail until the fall
term of court.

From tuesdays Daily.
If Walter Hutton's theory is correct,
the skeletons that were found on the
Arthur Mitchell farm in Spring Island,
were those of white men who were slam
in desperate battle with the redskins.
Mr.. Hutton makes the claim that it was
not the practice of a victorious band
of Indians to cut off the heads of their
dead enemies, if those enemies happen
ed to be Indians, but they would de-
capitate the white men they had killed.
1t is upon this basis Mr.. Hutton reas-
ons that the skeletons are those of
white men who roamed this country
years ago.
Mr.. Hutton is quite an interesting
character. He is man well along in
years, but no one would suspect him
to be more than sixty years of age,
when in fact he is almost ninety. He is
erect in his carriage and his faculties are
as sound as his body which is not trou-
bled with any physical disabilities. Mr..
Hutton lives in Rapidan township, not
far from the station. He spent num-
Der of years with the Indians and is
thoroughly acquainted with their char
acteristics. An Englishman by birth,
Mr. Hutton came to this country when
a young man. He landed in st. Louis
and secured employment with the
Northwest Fur company. He was sent
to st. Joe, station forty miles west
of Pembina There hp~remained several
years. He was one of three white men
that lived on the outpost with several
hundred Cree and Chippewa Indians in
the fifties.
Mr.. Hutton was at st. Joe when
band of Sioux Indians reached there just
after the quelling of the outbreak in
southern Minnesota. The Sioux visited
the Chippewas for the purpose of ar
ranging terms for peace. The visitors
brought with them quantities of tea
and coffee and many other articles OF
food which they had stolen from the
settlers they had either driven from
their homes or murdered. Mr.. Hutton
accepted an invitation to drink tea
with one of the braves. The Sioux did
not attempt to modest the three white
men at st. Joe. Rather they held them
selves aloof from the pale faces.
Among other things which the Sioux
brought to st. Joe was clarinet, which
Mr.. Hutton could play, but he was not
permitted to handle the instrument. The
clarinet was presented to a Chippewa
brave
