PLAN TO TAKE UTES TO UTAH.
Special Agents Are Busy Arranging
for Red Mems Return.

Special agents Of the government
are at Rapid City industriously at
tending to the numerous small details
of the trip to be made this month by
the Ute Indians when they are taken
back to their homes in Utah.
Some few of the Indians are camped
at Rapid City. but the large body will
have to be transported from Cherry
Creek. where they are living on the
Cheyenne reservation. 1t will require
one and possibly two troops OF caval-
ry to guard them. Six heavy wagons
have been fitted up and taken to Cher
~ Creek for the use Of the Indians.
Although nothing definite has been
given out, it is believed that Capt.
Johnson and bis troopers OF the Sixth
cavalry will be the escort of the In
dams on the journey home. Capt.
johnson always has been popular with
these redskins and he knows how to
manage them. It was he who cor
rallied them on their escapades
through Northern South Dakota two
years ago when they created a scare
by their actions.

Dresms and Nightmares,

Many Of our commonest dreams are
occasioned by bodily conditions or
surroundings. Loosened sheets at the
foot of the bed on a cold night soon
deposit a sleeper's feet in rivers or
snow banks. just as a second helping
at dinner or a tendency to lie on ones
back in bed readily conjures up whole
legions of spooks.
Certain evidence on this point was
collected in DR.. G. Stanley Halls psy-
Geological laboratory at Clark univer.
sity from personal testimony. From
this 1T would appear that children
prefer animals for their nightmares.
whereas adults incline toward bur-
glars. tatlers and the like.

The Club held its regular meeting
Feb. 4. 1t was largely attended,
and the interest manifested by
members and visitors clearly indi-
Gates that the development in
terests of Ray mondville and vici-
nifty are going to be pushed, and
that the people are determined to
make this one of the most attrac-
tive places on the Brownsville
road. A colonization plan was
launched at this meeting that is
big with promise, based on sound
business principles and with liberal
inducement to offer people seeking
homes. The Club feels assured
that all that is necessary to attract
large numbers to this vicinity is to
let people know that in no other
place are the climatic conditions
and fertility of the soil so favorable
to the building up of beautiful
homes as in this part of The New

Brownsville is in the hands of
homeseekers. Probably over 100 OF
these visitors from the north arriv-

see at least 200 more in Browns
vile.
The regular train over the st.

yesterday was larger than it had
been for some weeks. There were
six extra cars on it. Five of these
the Raymondville, Isabel, Chi.
cago, Brownsville and the Texas

lowed to remain there. The other,
Ia Pullman, came through to
Brownsville with its load of land
seekers. 1t is estimated that there
were about 240 tourists on the train.
The cars which stopped at Ray
mondville will probably go to Ly-
ford today, where the homeseekers
will look about the country, and
may come with the regular train
into Brownsville tonight.
Probably for the last time, the
visitors had hard time securing
accommodations. By the time the
next excursion is run the publicity
bureau will have arranged for plen-
ty of private rooms. E. II. Her
man will begin work in this regard
