OLDEST indian
PREDICTS rain

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 16.-Chief
Climb-a-Tree, probably one of the old
est living Indians of the Sioux tribe,
who makes his home on the reserva-
ton, whose real age is unknown, but
from incidents of the past it is COM
puted he must have lived at least
115 years, is the weather prophet of
the Indians of this section of the
country. It is said he remembers
well the incident of Halley's comet Is
years ago, and he predicted the drouth
this year. According to Cnmb.a-Tree,
the drouth will be broken August 10th,
after which date we will have "heaps"
of rain.
If the weather predictions of the
old Indian are to come true, farmers
should hurry their threshing this
week, or the rain will spoil their
grain.
However, as this is the year when
all signs and predictions concerning
the weather have failed, and the
weather prophets have come to grief,
one after another, it Is safe to say
that Clinb-a-Tree is simply making a
guess, and he may hit it and may

Columbus, O., Aug. 16.-Before 3

shall stood by his declaration made at
noon today not to be responsible for
operations during the night, although
shortly after the announcement of his
intention was made known he was
summoned to conference in the state
house by Adjutant General Weybrecht.
The mayor put it up to the state
troops to guard the cars tonight IT the
company persisted in operating them.
General Manager Stewart refused to
accede to Mayor Marshall's request
that the cars be withdrawn. In let
ter to the mayor he said:
I'VE demand protection from you."
The state officials declined to as
sumo the responsibility which the
mayor sought to shift. After confer
ring with Mayor Marshall, it was an
nounced that tho state would continue
to. handle troops as planned, not 20
permit them to patrol streets or TO
ride on cars, but to hold them In
readiness to respond to calls for aid.

In the interval between now and

New York, N. Y, Aug. 16.-Theo
dore Roosevelt matched strength with
the "old guard of the republican par
ty in New York state and met decisive
defeat. The republican state commit
tee in session here, by a vote of 20
to Is, refused to recommend him for
temporary chairman Of the state con-
vention, which meets at Saratoga, on
September 27. Instead, Vice-preside1t
James S. Sherman was selected.
This is Col. Roosevelt's second de-
feat at the hands of the "old guard, "
the first having been the legislature's 8
refusal to pass the Cobb direct pri-
mary bill, although Mr.. Roosevelt es-
>pecially endorsed it.
With his setback today, plans for
harmony within the party in the state
received a severe jolt, and as soon as
Col. Roosevelt heard the news he is-
sued a statement in which he enrolled
himself as a progressive so far as the
New York situation goes. 1t was his
most pointed political statement since
his return, and those who saw him
were convinced that he had deter
mined to begin an open fight on the
"old guard"
Although repudiated today, it does
not necessarily mean that Col Roose-
velt will not be temporary chairman.
After all, the convention delegates
themselves will decide who is to open
