The Gros ventres Are Anary.

There is gloom and sorrow among
the Gros Ventres. Poor old Wolf
Chief was by some means prevailed
upon to dispose of some of the sacred
tribal relics and to let them pass
away from the state and go to dis
tant Eastern city. They felt that they
have been disgraced and dishonored
But they are now willing to let the
state historical society have these
things, as then they will be preserved.

Sir Thomas Challenges the Fourth
Time for the Americas Cup.
London, Sept. 15.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton will make another attempt in
1908 to regain the Americas cup for
Great Britain.
This announcement was made yes
terday afternoon by Sir Thomas in
London, and also by the secretary
of the Royal Irish Yacht club at Dub.
lin. The challenge, which goes to
the New York Yacht club in the name
of the Royal Irish Yacht club, was
mailed from Dublin yesterday.
Fife will be asked to design the
challenger if he is not already at work
ON the model of Shamrock w., for
that is to be the new yachts name.
Sir Thomas is credited with saying
that if he does not win this time he
will believe it impossible to bring the
cup back.
Neither Sir Thomas nor his secre
tary would divuage the contents of the
challenge; saying that they thought
that in all courtesy to the New York
Yacht club the latter was entitled to
be first to know what it contained.
The latest challenger, like the three
previous Shamrocks, will have to be
sailed across tthe Atlantic, but it Is
understood she will be built so that
the handicap on this account will not
be so great as in former years.
1t has been reported that Sir Thorn
as intends to send two yachts across
and after trying them over the Sandy
Hook course he will enter the better
in the races for the Americas cup.
This, however, cannot be done without
the consent Of the New York Yacht
CLUB.

500 Line Will Stop Grain Inspection
Fight at Superior.
North Dakotans are to have a ter.
mnal elevator at Superior, Wis.
The 500 railroad has decided the
now famous grain inspection fight in
favor of the Superior and North Da-
kota interests. by announcing that
that road will erect an elevator of sew
eral million bushels capacity at Su-
perior. This elevator will be made
public warehouse, and no discrimina-
ton will be shown in handling grain.
Under the 500 lines plan the Wis
consin dealers will be able to do bust
ness under the Wisconsin grain in
spection law. In fact, the 500 people
have intimated as much to North Da-
kota grain men. The North Dakota
grain men have held several confer
ences with the 500 officials since it
was learned that the road was going
to build into Superior, and, while they
never exposed their plans, they have
given the Dakota people plenty of as
surance that they will take care of
their grain.
