Pine Ridge Indians
Pierre-Bishop Busch, the newly APP
pointed Catholic Bishop for the terri
tory west OF the Missouri in South
Dakota held an Indian congress Of
his charges among the red men, at

attended by representatives from ev-
cry Indian reservation in the state.
The attendance reached fully two

as attentive a. any could have been.
Besides Bishop Busch, the Missionary
priests who were present and took a
part were, Reverend Fathers Lindeb-
ner Of Pine Ridge; Grote of Rosebud;
Ambrose of Crow Creek; and Bede
of Standing Rock.
The reports made by the heads Of
the societies of the church among
the Indians showed SO st. Joseph soci-
cites and the same number of St.
Mary societies, which two turned over
$3.50 to the bishop to aid in his work.
At the meeting nineteen persons were
baptized, and seyenty-seven confirm
ed.
Resolutions were adopted providing
for a committee Of two from each So
ciety to find out what can be done for
the benefit of the societies: giving to
the Grow Creek Indians all the rights
of the session Of the congress as those
which are located on the west side OF
the river; and the selection of Sam
Charger, as a delegate to the general
meeting of the Federation of Catholic
Societies of America, which is to be
held at New Orleans late this fall.
The next meeting of the congress
