Academy

Annapolis Md, June Sin the
presence of thousands of persons
from all over the country 200 MEM
bers of the class of 1908 were grad
uated from the United States naval
academy today. Diplomas were pre-
scented by General Horace Porter,
president Of the board Of visitors,
who acted in the place Of Secretary
Of the Navy Metcalf, who was unable
to be present. General Porter adj
dressed the graduates. Speaking of
the needs and necessities Of the real
naval Office, he told them to learn to
think logically and to reach an ac-
curate decision. He said that the
men must now be taught to fire bull
let's; not to stop them.
I'VE want duels, now, not butch
cries" he said. 'sModtrn sailors must
be militant, however, without being

of the members were present more
than an hour before that time.
The Alabama case was regarded
as the most important of all the
contests because of the fact that %
delegates were involved and it is
the first in the list of states that will
be called IN the convention when
nominations are being made. The
candidate securing the delegation
from Alabama is sure to be first
placed in nomination because the
state having no candidate Of its own,
alwaysayields to that state present
ing the candidate favored by Alaba-

All of the members of the commit
tee we're present in person except
fifteen. Thirteen of them were rep
resented by proxies, among them be-
ing North Dakota, by Charles G..
Phelps Of Washington, D. c.; South
Dakota by Elmer Dover, secretary Of
the national committee.
Tonight a meeting was held In the
room of Senator Heminway of
Indiana at the Auditorium annex
which was attended by representa-
tives of Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, Vice President Fairbanks and
Joseph G. Cannon. A statement was
prepared which says in part:
M.Contests between Republicans
Should be considered and decided by
those regularly and properly chosen
for that purpose, and by them only,
when they can honestly consider
| the merit of each case in judicial
! frame Of mind
The statement further declares
that if Secretary Taft has, as his
4 friends claim, a majority OF the ma
tional committee, the presence Of
lSMessrs. Hitchcock, Slater and
Phelps on that committee is unnec-
essary, and If, on the other hand
the vote on the committee is close,
| the presence of the three men Is i'm
proper, as it leaves the ''nomina
ton of the presidential candidate to
the decision Of one campaign mana

far from the party in charge of the
mill. Two Indians had cut quanti-
ty of brush and crawled up close to
the trail so as to get in the rear of
the camp as first located. The brush
looked natural enough stuck in the
ground, but the practiced eye Of Law
renee detected the fraud, and he
opened fire at once to warn the camp
and expose the Indians, who had no
chance to run and we're between two
fires. 1t took but a few minutes to
settle their hash. Lawrence fell back
to camp and prepared for hard fight
which was bitter on both sides.
The Indians were getting desperate
and bold. The whites, to save their
scalps, were fighting as men will fight
to save their lives. There was no
cover on the left of the trail by which
the Indians could approach within
range, which alone saved the determ-
ined little party from being wiped
out. The Indians had evidently been
REINFORCED. For nearly two hours
they kept up steady fire from all
points within range on the right Of
the trail. The boiler proved to be
the salvation of Capt. Brauch and his
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-12-18

men. The wagons were riddled.
Evans, Baker and Taylor received
slight fresh wounds, not severe
enough to render them unfit for duty.
Three Indians were hit, but whether
fatally or not it was impossible to find
out. After supper council of war
was held. It was possible to hold
out twenty-four hours longer, but
their condition or means of defense
would not be improved; hence it was
decided to abandon the mill and oxen
and push through the gap before day
light and procure re-enforcements at
Custer City and return for the mill.
This program was carried out and
successfully.
The second afternoon Capt. Brauch
and his party arrived at Custer,
where they received a hearty welcome.
Volunteers we're plenty and willing
Thirty-seven determined men, with
horses to haul the mill, returned to
the scene of the fight. Instead of 60
ing to the mill direct they flanked
the position held by the Indians dur
ing the fight, and. to their satisfac-
tion discovered about fifteen Indians
on watch for those who might return
to the mill. Six Of these redskins

were killed at the first fire and the
others were wounded, but they man
aged to reach their ponies and make
good their escape. The mill was
hauled into the mining camp, where
it did good service i'll furnishing the
miners with lumb Der. The oxen had
been driven off and were never recov-
cred. Baker, Evans and Taylor soon
recovered from their wounds.
The heroes of that famous trip are
all dead. Col. Lawrence died in Dead
wood in the county named after him.
AL. Wood died near Belle Fourche in
Butte county. He was a brother Of
the late Mrs Ward of Yankton. Bud
Taylor ran for governor on the demo-
cratic ticket, years ago when resi-
dent of Huron. Baker died at the old
family home in New York, and Evans
died in Indiana and ,Presho, we be-
lieve out on the reservation. Cap
tain Brauch died in Yankton and
was among the most prominent of
the early settlers. They were all
good men and true.
The facts here related were given

treasurer Of Lawrence county.

Letter from g. II. MOultOn.
GrandvieW, Wash.
Dec. 7th. 1905

Dec. 7th, 1908.
Brother Linn: believe promised
to write when we got out here and
settled. So here goes.
Clarence and and the dog left Can
ton August 9th in a box car, or I
should say in our private car, that is
what Clarence called it, and as we
had good bed and plenty to eat, we
enjoyed ourselves as we'll as any mil
lionaire. We made the trip in nine
days, arriving in Grandview Septem.
Der 4th. My wife and the girls over
took US at Sunnyside and we all got
here together. Arthur Hawn had a
l2xl4 house for us. 1t was the only one
available In town so we considered
ourselves lucky to have shelter at
all.
Two days after we got here I
bought an acre tract In the edge of
town and commenced to erect q house
2Sx2s, lS TT. posts with an addition on
the back l4x16. In less than two
months we moved into the new house
but did not get all through painting
and all settled until about two weeks
ago, and think we have very COM
Portable home. We worked early and
late doing a good deal of the work
ourselves.
Grandview is we'll named. 1t is q
line site for town. Twelve months
ago there we're not more than so In
habitants, now we have over 800 and
l think In another IL months we will
have 900 or more and property is GO
ing up very fast. This will be :
beautiful country in five years from
now. 1t is all good fruit land and Is
all sold In S, 10 and 20 acre tracts and
nearly all set to fruit trees. The ten
acres | bought year ago last July
for $75 an acre l am now offered 5000
an acre for it but refused 1t, as think
1t will double again In very short
time.
We all like it here very nIuch. or
course we miss our Canton friends
where we lived so long, but find q
very good class Of people here and we
like the climate. We have had no
bad weather yet but it is raining
tonight so think it will turn colder.
We all have good appetites and
have only heard of one family sick in
town or country since we came conse-
quently we have not been able to get
doctor to locate here as yet.
Wishing all my Canton friends sue
cess, l will close, but remember IL
you come this way our latch string il
always out. Yours Truly,

lowed, and all was still again, but the
Indians had vanished into the dark
ness Lawrence and his comrades
held their positions until daylight,
when they discovered two dead In
dians, as they supposed, but a closer
inspection found one alive. Col.
Lawrence, who was a master Of the
Sioux language, asked the then near
ly dead Indian who they were. The
Indian was barely able to state that
he was Yellow Hair, OF the Two Ket.
tie band and the dead savage was
Jumping Thunder, of the Corn Plant
er band, from Spotted Tails agency.
Brauch and party Joined the Law
renee party before the Indian depart
ed for the happy hunting ground.
Jumping Thunder was shot through
the left breast and Yellow Hair
through the stomach.
Baker scalped the dead Indian and
the other was left to his fate. It was
determined to get to Buffalo Gap be-
fore sundown. Capt Brauch and his
men knew there was work ahead and
realized their danger. Toward the
middle of the afternoon large mum.
Der of Indians were discovered on a
bluff near which the Indian trail pas
sed. Fortunately for the millmen
there was only little timber on one
side of the trail where Indians could
conceal themselves. The boiler Of the
mill furnished ample protection
on one side at least. 1t was determ.
ined to push on and test the temper
of the redskins. If it was fight, why
let it come, as it must sooner or later.
An advance was ordered, the men
keeping the boiler between them and
the bluffs. When within long range
Of the bluffs, where Indians had been
seen, it was determined to halt and
await the attack. The oxen were
driven down ravine on the left out
of rifle range on the right. The In
dians observed the challenge and ac-
cepted. 4 duel at long range contin-
ued until dark Capt. Brauch and
his men determined to pass the point
during the night where the Indians
had been seen and make for Buffalo
Gap. This project failed and morn
ing found them several miles from
the Gap in fairly good position to
defend themselves. The Indians had
not anticipated this move and were
seen hot on the trail by sunrise. A
bloodless duel on the part OF the
whites ontihued all day
Trouble was expected during the
night, and it came. The night was
very dark and favorable for both par
ties to conceal their movements. The
oxen were hitched to the wagons and
hauled back on the trail some forty
rods, so that the Indians could not To-
cate the camp before morning. Law
renee, Baker and Presho went back to
the first location to keep guard. No
Indians we're seen during the night,
but very suspicious c'ump Of brush
had grown up during the night not
