Old Rain-in-the-Face died not long
ago and his epitaph is found in the
hippant paragraph that the Sioux
warrior and chieftain is at last good
Indian.
Every redskin who ever raised his
hand against white man is dubbed
bad Indian. Rain-in-the-Face living
was of service to the world. He add
ed picturesqueness and a spirit of
savagery to the dull canvas of civil
lized life. Something is lost every
time that one of the old-time warriors
of the plain goes to tie land where
the buffalo grass is always green and
where the herds await the Indian
hunter
In the deaths of most of the great
Indian chiefs of old there was always
some tragic note. Most of them met
violent deaths. Perhaps Geronimo,
who passed away at Fort Sill, Okla,
some months ago, was the only one of
many aged chieftains to die a natural
death. The Indians picture of the
happy hunting ground is said by stu
dents to have made violent death the
safest mode of entrance to the portals
of the redskin heaven in the Indian
mind. The quality of bravery dis
played, the Indians also believed in
the old days, had much to do with
their happiness after death, and as
consequence to die fighting for their
tribe was the aim of most of the old
school of warriors
Rain-in-the-Face followed Little
Wound; Little Wound followed

chiefs and warriors all! Shall no
voice lament their passing?
Most of these chiefs were Chris
tians-in way. The water of bap-
tism sprinkled but it never washed
the war paint from their heather
hearts. The only good thing the
white men ever offered them was his
religion, but they suspected it as they
succumbed to it's outward forms. 1t
takes more than prayer or two and
more than little water from a font
TO remove from the administering
clergyman the suspicion which the
red man attached to all of the white
race as the result of "a century of
dishonor"
Out at Pine Ridge Is years ago the
little Episcopal mission church was
turned into a hospital for the care of
the wounded survivors of the band of
Big Foot the Sioux chief The pews
and the altar had been removed and
straw had been strewn on the floor
and there lay the stricken women and
children-all the men of the band had
met .death-every one sore wounded
by the bullets of the soldiers.
Where the altar had been lay the
wife Of a chief and her four little
children, bearing the pain of their
wounds with what we are pleased to
call savage stoicism. The sun came
up over the pine-topped ridges and
sent its light through the stained-glass
window over and above the place of
the altar. -

blue fell upon the family group, and

Three Foreign Sheepherders As
sauIt Wood-choppers on South
Mountain.

A. j McPhee and Ben Swisher were
attacked Tuesday by three Bascoe sheep
herders on South Mountain, and badly
used up. MePhee was camped on South
Mountain, where be was getting out min
ing timbers, and Swisher had come up
after load Of derrick poles. A band of
sheep were driven right down to their
camp and they set the dog on the sheep
to drive them back and told the herder to
keep them back, as they needed little
feed for their horses. The herder went
to some adjoining camps and three of
them came back and shot at MePhee and
swisher, the bullet passing between them
while close together. The Bascoe doing
the shooting attempted to shoot again,
but the gun missed fire, whereupon the
three herders rushed upon McPhee and
Swisher, who were unarmed and at
work, and struck at Swisher with the
gun, hitting him on the forearm as he
threw it up to guard his head, nearly
breaking his arm. He then punched
Swisher twice in the breast with the point
of the gun, making severe bruises on his
body. Turning their attentions to Nc
Phee, they threw rocks, striking him on
the side Of the head, knocking him down,
and continued to pound him with rocks.
severely brnising him in several places,
and striking him between the shoulders
with large rocks, nearly breaking his
back. Leaving them completely knocked
out, the dagoes drove their horses away
some distance. When McPhee and
swisher came to they were in a bad plight
but finally succeeded in getting their
horses together. McPhee came to Silver
yesterday morning to get his injuries
dressed by the DR.. and laid the matter
before the prosecuting attorney, G. M.
Hays. Warrants for the arrest of the
Bascoes were issued and Sheriff Krieg
left for South Mountain yesterday after
noon.

johnson called at the Leader Herald office
Monday, stating that he is and has been
for long time suffering from an incur
able disease; that he came to Idaho for
his health but for some reason unknown
to him there are persons at Wallace and
Mullen who circulate lies about him and
do all in their power to injure him and
prevent his getting employment. He
feels that he is unjustly treated and that
considering his condition of health that
his road is hard enough without unneces-

about him.
H. K. Doll and Robt. Hatfield Of
Scranton, Pa, who are stockholders in
the Banner Mining Co., spent several
days with us during the past week, look
ing over the Banner property and admir-
ing our scenery and beautiful girls; as
Bill Schumacher had told them some won
derful stories about this country. They
say that Bill is already seriously think
ing Of returning to the Owyhee hills, to
see the green grass grow all round, all
round, and to mingle once more with
the 'fskidoo" crowd and the widows,
their sisters, their cousins and their
aunts. Your hearts here, Bill, so you
had better return soon and not allow the
various parts OF your anatomy to get too
badly scattered.
1t is time some action was taken by the
federal authorizes relative to the permit
ting Of foreigners to occupy and utilize
the public range in this western country.
This country is becoming oyerrun by
foreigners who will not become American
and who have no regard for
the rights of others and by bulldozing
methods attempt to get the benefit of the
public domain at the expense Of Ameri-
can citizens who have spent their entire
life in civilizing and building up the
country. 1t is time to call halt. I'll
those foreigners cannot become citizeus
and identify themselves with the upbuild-
ing of this country, they should not be
permitted to use the public domain to the
injury Of our own people.

FLINT DISTRICT

Considerable mining activity is taking
place in this district in the way of min
ing development and taking ont ore for
shipment The White Bros. and Har-
land are busy doing assessment work on
their property and sacking rich ore for
shipment. The Bonnell propertyis being
put in shape for active production; new
machinery will be added to this mill and
a considerable number of men employed.
There is any quantity OF rich silver ore
in this district and only the low price of
silver prevents it from becoming a won
derful producer.

The following about telephone girls is
published in Kansas paper and might
be especially applicable in this western
country:
"Our telephone girl sits in her chair
and listens to voices from everywhere.
She hears all the gossip, she hears all the
news, she knows who is happy and who
has the blues; she knows all our sorrows,
she knows all our joys, she knows every
girl who is chasing the boys She knows
OF our troubles, she knows Of our strife,
she knsws every man who is mean to his
wife; she knows every time we are out
with the boys, she hears the excuses each
fellow employs; she knows every woman
who has dark past, she knows every
man who's inclined to be fast; in fact,
there a secret meath each saucy curl of
chat quiet, demure looking telephone
girl. II the telephone girl would tell all
that she knows it would turn half our
friends into bitterest foes; she would SOW
a small wind that would soon be a gale,
engulf us in trouble and land us in jail
she would let go story (which gaining
in force) would cause half our wives to
sue for divorce. She could get all the
churches mixed up in fight and turn
all our days into sorrowing nights; in
fact, she could keep the whole town in a
stew if she'd tell the tenth part of the
things she knew. Now doesn't it make
your head whirl when you think what
you owe the telephone girl?
