HOLDS CUSTER SECRETS.
Army Officer and HaIf-Breed Brother
Will Tell All in Time.

Will Tell All in Time.
Iowa City, July 25.-Upon the death
of the last Sioux Indian engaged in
the Custer massacre the story Of that
darleened chapter in American history
will be made public. A complete ac-
count Of the engagement which re-
suited in the death Of every man Of
General George A. Clusters force is in
the hands of Major James McIIaugh-
lin, chief of the United States Indian
service, and Of his brother in law, Joe
Buisson, half-breed Sioux Indian
and one of the best known pilots and
steamboat captains on the upper Mis-
sissippi river.
The story was picked up, here and
there, from one survivor and another
of the band Of Sioux which annihilated
the white soldiers, but all Information
given was with the stipulation that
it should not be made public until af-
ter the death of the last Indian en-
gagged in that famous fray Only two
Sioux survivors of the massacre are
living at the present time. and with
their death, the story will become a
part of history.
All that is known of the Custer mas
sacre is that in June, 1875, General
Custer set out with five companies of
cavalry, numbering 300 men, to move
q band Of Sioux. from one reservation
to another. The Sioux We're engaged in
the neighborhood of the Little Big
Horn river. in Montana, and not
white man escaped alive. 1t was the
most famous massacre in the history
of Indian warfare and at the same
time the one about which the least Is
known, for the white men could not
speak and the Indians would not.
Major Mclaughlin has been station
ed at Indian posts all over the country.
and a great deal of his time has been
spent among the Sioux. But even with
the confidence which he enjoyed, it Is
not likely that he alone could have
drawn from the Indians the story of
the massacre. Joe Buisson. his broth
er-in-law, is the son of French Can
adam and a Sioux squaw. His boyhood
was spent among the Indians, he is
a master Of the Sioux language, and
has been especially interested in gath
ering Indian lore. From his kinship
and association with the Sioux he was
enabled to secure the interesting facts
connected with the massacre.
None of the material secured has
been made public by either Of the two
men, nor will it until the Indian sur
vivorS pass away.
Joe Buisson is now captain Of the
steamer North Star, engaged in towing
log RATS from Lake ST. Croix to the
lumber mills at Keokuk, iowa He has
been on the Mississippi since his boy
hood, and has been engaged for many
wears as a pilot for rafting steamers.
Most of the material secured by Ma
jor Mclaughlin and Captain Buisson
has been in their possession for
of years. and its publication
will be awaited with great interest.

James Christy. who tried to use up
young Daniels in Jail here last Monday.
has again been making trouble at the
Jail. and he indicates very plainly that
he much desires to get out. Being put
in solitary cell he managed to work
loose chunk OF the cement floor. and
with this he pounded more cement
loose, so that when discovered he had
gotten a hole thru the cement of the
floor and was digging at the graVel un-
derneath. How long 1t would have
taken him to dig out in this way IS
not clear; but he appears not to have
been regarding his time as valuable.
and he was willing to work as long as
he had the chance. He is now In an
other cell.
Hawarden.
Gravel pits for the Northwestern
railroad were purchased near Harvard
en- by Craig l.. Wright. attorney for the
company The pits were bought at a
cost of $500. The product will be
used in graveling the roadbed OF the
new Hawarden cutoff. which is to be
completed the coming fall. Some un-
expected work is required on the new
line, because of improvements on the
Great Northern railroad which parallels
1t for a distance of several miles When
the ratter- read -eised the grade OF its
roadbed. the Northwestern found itself
obliged to do likewise, and for this pur-
pose it has bought a number OF farming
tracts in 40-acre pieces to get dirt with
which to raise the grade.

the part Of the finder. The police took
a full description of the watch and
will endeavor to locate the owner.
The watch is of good make, move
ment and case. Altho the case is
somewhat discolered from the water,
the movement does not seem to be
badly damaged. and probably after q
trip to the jewelers. to be cleaned it
will be as good as ever.
The finder still has the watch In
his possession but. he stands ready to
turn it over to the owner, at any time.
All that will be required is that the

ant. If the description of the one you
lost tallies, you get the watch.

MillerS 7 ell More
of Bleached Flour
Men from Spring Wheat Belt Say that
= Bread from Bleached Product
is Inferior.

KANSAS CITY, June 9.-Direct testimony
and the cross-examining OF witnesses still
claim entire attention In the bleached flour
case being tried in the United States cir
cult court here Several revelations re-
garding the alleged bad effects Of flour
after its treatment to the bleaching pro-
cess, characterized yesterdays session.
Merton F. Dennison of Red Wing, Mimi,
a miller, testified that dough made from
bleached flour was less elastic than that
made from unbleacbed flour
William Graham, a miller of Groton, S.
d., testified that he had used a bleaching
process for two years in his mill. He had
not used the Alsop process but on that
treated the flour similarly in bleaching.
He said that his experiments had proven
that using a given amount of flour the un-
bleached product gave a better volume of
bread than the bleached and that the
bread made from the unbleached flour re-
tained the natural flavor of the wheat, but
that the bread made from the bleached
product was less palatable.
He said that new wheat was more yellow
than old wheat and that bread made from
new wheat was not so good as that made
from old wheat. He said that flour made
from new wheat when bleached was whittier
than unbleached flour made from old
wheat.

PRINCETON, N. j.. June 9.-As a re-
suit of a special meeting of the board
Of trustees of Princeton university to-
day the institution will acquire about ST.
10000 in gifts. The bulk of this comes
as a renewal of the offer made by Will
liam Cooper Proctor of Cincinnati and
brings to an end the controversy over the
site OF the graduate college.
Mr. Proctor, in May 1909, offered the
university 100000 on condition that the
alumni raise an equal amount. During
the controversy over the site Mr.. Proc
tors gift was withdrawn. With the re-
newal Of the gift the half million to be
given by the alumni is said to be assured
in pledges.

bull a great memorial tower 16O feet
high on the campus. The bequest by the
late Isaac C. Wyman Of Salem, Mass,
variously estimated at from 81, 600 900 to "a,

the closing of the breach over the gradu-
ate college site, which was the chief con-
ditlon of the original proctor offer.

VESSEY JUMPS INTO LEAD
Governor of South Dakota Appar-
emily Forges Ahead of Egan.
LATE RETURNS FAVOR INCUMBENT
'Independent" Republican, However,
StilI Claims Election in His Favor
-StaIwarts Concede 'Pro-
Rressive" victory.

SIOUX FALLS, S, D., June 9-Returns
from forty-one out of ffty-seven counties
give Wesley, progressive. for governor, 1S,-
650; Egan, Independent, 17,142; Elrod, stall
wart, 14,491. George w. Egan, independ-
ent republican candidate for governor still
claims he carried the state by not less
than 5000 The official count may be
necessary TO settle the dispute.
The indications are that the stalwart
republicans have renomnated Congressman
Martin and Burke. A report from Huron
says:
Chairman Richards, manager of the
progressive republican campaign declares
emphatically that the returns justify the
statement that Governor Vessey is nomi-
mated by substantial plurality. While
no figures are given the chairman states
his declaration is based on authentic re-
turns regardless of claims made by the
OPPOSITION and that the official count will
confirm his statement"
Later returns make no material change
as to congressional candidates, Thorsen
and Schrader running quite evenly and
somewhat in advance of Martin and Burke.
ABERDEEN, S. D., June 9.-Chairman
John c. Simmins and Secretary r. b. Rob-
erts of the stlwsrt camapign committee

sey for governor late returns giving him a
lead over Egan.
