Did Not Turn Up At His Desti-
nation.
Many persons will remember the
article which appeared in this paper
short time ago. headed AN Appeal
for Little Kid" which was taken
from the Rapid City Journal, and
the gist of which was that little
fellow called Billy Dawson, whose
home is in Rapid City, and who was
aged six years. was making a grea,
effort to win the Shetland pony which
has been offered as prize for the
child who sells the most copies of the
Saturday Evening Post. The contest
is open to little lads al over the
united States. At the time the artf-
Gle was written, little Billy was
ahead and the Rapid Journal an
pealed to the people of this com
huhlty to see that he stayed there

started an canvass to sell his Posts

Washington, May 12.-"General
Stewards daughter Martha, called
Patsie, first married United States
Senator John Elliott, and after his
death she married James S. Bulloch.
Matte, daughter of this alliance,
married Theodore Roosevelt, ST.,
whose son, Theodore Roosevelt, was
president of the United States"
This is paragraph from the re-
port of House committee recon-
bending the erection of monument
at cost of $4,000, to the memory of
General Daniel Stewart and James
Screven. They were members of
what the report calls "a little band
of cultured and pious men who, with
their families. settled in Georgia
about $50 years ago. They called
themselves the Midway Society"
Screven, who had a record as a brave
and daring patriot, was killed in one
of the battles of the Revolution.
Roosevelt's father was Is years
old when he shouldered rifle big
ger than himself and went forth to
shoot daylight into the British in
vader. He was wounded by a sabre
at Pocatalogo, South Carolina, can
tured. and confined in a prison ship
at Charleston. On a stormy NIGHT
he and eight others slipped through
port holes and swan through mighty
waves to shore. Stewart entered the
service again and fought to the end
OF the war, much of the time with
Sumter and Marion.
Soon after the close of the war he
was at the head of a regiment chas-
ing Indians along the coast of Geor-
gia The trouble was that the Indians

and horses, pillaging houses and muir
aerlng families. He was presidential
elector and voted for Madison.
When Stewart returned home Of
ter the Revolutionary war he found
that his tranquil plantation near
Riceboro, had been occupied by Cen.
Provost, commanding the British
troops in the south. On the wall of
the sitting room he found branded
on the boards: "This house was the
nome of nest of rebels" This his
torlc home was destroyed by the fed
eral troops during the civil war and
now only the chimneys remain.
In the second war with Great Bri-
tain in 1912, Gen Stewart again took
me field and the office of brigdier OF
cavalry was created and given to him
Both Stewart and Screven were
buried in the cemetery beside Mid
way church and there the memorial
IS to be erected if the bill becomes a
law.
A remarkable statement by Rep
resentative Thomas (dem. Ky.) in
the house. a few days ago, led to the
adoption of resolution
TO wipe out the charge of desertion
standing against Joseph Dobson in
the war department records.
"In 1876" said Thomas, "Dobson

His Body in Smelter Furnace
Tries to Stop Committee Seek
ing Funds to Bury Him.
Butte. Mont, May 13.-Blood may
be thicker than water, but like other
rules that, too, has it's exceptions, 1t
would seem, from events following in
the wake of John Kundzalka's death
at local hospital Thursday.
There remains one relative in But
te, a brother, who has adopted the
name, "John Bork," because OF the
length of the family title. Bork was
not at his brothers bedside when the
end came. He was at work at the
Butte and Balaklava mine. The
news was telephoned to the foreman
who Immediately notified the miner.
Instead of bowling his head to the
inevitable, he swore. He was glad
death had taken his brother. He
never cared for him anyway. He
hated him. They might take the
body down to the smelter and toss it
into the furnace. Such wps the
trend of his TRADE and that moment
his connection with the Butte and
Balaklava company came to violent
end. He was told to pack his duds
and get out quick.
The next day fellow countrymen
Of the dead Pole, who had died pen
niless after months of suffering with
consumption, circulated among their
friends with subscription list by
which to realize enough to pay the
funeral expenses. Bork heard Of this
and is said to have looked up the
committee and advised them to cut it
out and let his brother "go to hell"
Nothing Of the kind was done; the
money was raised aad the funeral

INDIANS TO GUARD GRAVES.

to Be Sacred to Dead If Harsh
Measures Can Make It.

Reservation Indians have been told
to shoot and shoot straight if they
find any person molesting graves i'll
the Indian graveyard on the reserva-
ton just below the gap. The instruc-
tons came from high authorities. The
Indians say they do not want trouble.
They would much prefer that the
graves Of their dead be left alone.
They say that they observe the law
of the white man and do not desc
crate the graves of their white breth-
rem. That consideration is all that
they ask for themselves
Interested people have been making
advances to both the Indian agent and
the county commissioners to the end
that steps may be taken which will
proven any such ghoulish acts as have
occurred in the past especially recent
ly when graves were opened. Just
what the federal authorities will do is
not known, but the county commits
sioners have lent their aid and no.
tees, signed by the sheriff of Yakima
county have been posted in and near
the burying ground, warning people
from moleSting. The Indians have
been made to understand, however,
that the protection of the burial
ground is more particularly up to
them. They have posted guard and

if he cannot get them one way to do it

ScabOard.

H. Stanley Coffin has shipped two
carloads of fine wool to Woonsocket
r. l., by rail and boatload Of coarse
wool to Boston by water and is back
again in North Yakima from the
Shearing camps at Finley. He says
that 1000 sheep were sheared, that
the wool is excellent, as good as has
ever been produced in the state, so
far as quality goes but is not quite
up in weight. Il. p. Dufour of WoOn-
socket, who purchased the fine fleece
was in North Yakima Friday with Mr..
Coffin. The haler was removed from
this city to Finley, where the fleece
was shorn, and the boat which car
ricd it was loaded right at the shear
ing pens which were on the bank Of
the river.

Is. The reply is from J. NJ Hanna
ford, second vice president.
Mr.. Hannaford says the Yakima
complaint appears to be merely that
one train out of six does not stop
here and that therefore the town is
not appreciated. The local complaint
has been that the only daylight train
on the railroad, would not receive
or deliver passengers here.
A Mr.. Rice of Cleveland came to
North Yakima a week ago and pur-
chased 20 acres of Teton land. He
had first class ticket, on No. /. with
stop over privileges and learned about
North Yakima after he had passed
Pasco. He decided to come here but
the conductor, it is reported, refused
to let him and said that the trans
portation would not be forthcoming
the tickets being held by the railroad
until Seattle was reached. Mr.. Rice,
learning that the train must stop at
Toppenish, announced his decision of
leaving the train there, which he did,
whereupon the conductor handed
down his transportation to him.
There arrived in North Yakima Sat
urday two visitors, a man and woman
from New Jersey. They travelled on
the best train the Northern Pacific
has and intended to come to a town
on the main line of the railroad.
North Yakima which is a town at
which the trains, as mail carriers, are
compelled to stop. They were put
off No. l at Spokane and forced to
come through to this city on a So
called local. Naturally their eastern
friends will seek such accommodation
hereafter.
