THE VOICE OF THE GOOsEBONE
PROPHET rs ALREADY ABROAD
IN THE LAND.

The voice of the gooscbone prophet
is abroad in the land. He has rubbed
his intelligent finger over the breast
bone of wild goose and is now pro-
phesying one of the hardest winters
that has ever been known within the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant. He
has found a ridge Of osseous tissue on
the keel bone Of the wild goose that
speaks to him in no uncertain tones
of wailing winds, deep SHOWS and ice
three feet thick. Instead Of the point
of gristlc that should ornament the tip
Of the breast bone he has discovered
a lump Of bone that means the wild
goose is looking for hard winter. All
the nuts that grow in the north are
showing the same indications. The
goosebone prophet looks upon this as
backing up his claim that this is to
real winter-'one of them old fash
toned kind when the snow was three
feet deep on the level ground and the
drifts in the roads were so high and
hard you could drive right over the
stake and ride fences at the side of the
highway"

JAMESTOWN MAN HAD HIS RIGHT
ARM BROKEN IN THREE
PLACES,

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 2s.-Whcn
caught in a shaft at the mill Of the
Russell-Miller Milling Co., Thursday
Roy Sheppard had his right arm broken
in three places and had a narrow es-
cape from losing his life.
Mr.. Sheppard, who is but 10 years of
age, was taking the place of J. s. Wal.
la and sweeping in the basement. AS
he was reaching over the countershaft
beyond some machinery his sleeve was
caught by set screw. The young man
was lifted from the platform Oh which
he stood and would have been dashed
about the shaft to his death if his
shoulder had not struck a spout just
above his head. AS it was all his cloth.
ing was almost instantly torn from his
body except the underclothes and shoes
His shoulder held firm to the spout as
the shaft went around with his cloth
ing. This paticular shaft revolves 365
times minute.
The alarm was quickly sounded and
the entire machinery shut down. Mr.
Sheppard remained conscious through
the ordeal and after being hurried to a
hospital it was learned his lower arm
had been broken in two places and the
same limb once above the elbow.

in South Dakota writes as follows:

in South Dakota writes as follows:
You will notice that the Indian
dances were cut to z minimum. Tho
dance was not q special feature as
heretofore at such gatherings. My idea
was to reduce this feature as much rs
possible and ultimately do away with
it altogether. I believe that the special
attention Of all Indians who attend the
fairs should be directed to the improve.
ment Of their several allottments and
the best exhibits that could be made in
the display Of vegetables, grain, pro-
rivalry in these matters"
These sentiments by Mr.. Wood were
received with APPROVAL by the Indian
Office. Second Assistant Commissioner
Hawks promptly responded as follows,
going Mr.. Woods several better:
SIT is noted that dances of all kinds
were conspicuously advertised as Feat
ures Of the fair. While it is assumed
that the dances permitted were Of a
simple and unobjectionable nature and
probably were the means Of winning
and holding the interest of the Indian
! in the undertaking, the Office feels that
they should not be given much promi-
nence or encouragement, lest the In
dian, and the public generally as we'll,
gain the impression that the propaga-
! ton of old customs and ceremonies is
one Of the objects of the fair"
| Unquestionably, Sitting Bull, the late
celebrated fighting Sioux chief, would
not know his people if he should drop
in upon them today. The Sioux are
undergoing a transformation. They
were among the most warlike and un
tamable of red men, but time has had
a mellowing effect upon them and con
slant contact with the white man, the
education of their youth, and other
influences of civilization have done tel
rest. His bow and arrow have beer
/? thrown away and in their places arr
the pillow and ak. His days Of roaming
ended long ago and he has settlet
down to farm or raise stock, or, per
chance to practice some profession Of
the white man. The tepee has slowly
given place to the log cabin or ths
small hous Of rough planks, eves
among the least enlightened.
Officials of the Indian office, as wei
as agents in the field, are aware tina
it will be real sacrifice for the Indian
to give up his dance. He has stuck +,
it for generations, and even for centur
les in some instances. For example
the war dance and the medicine dane
are considered the highest social func
tions Of the Indian feast day. On thos
days the Indian shines in all his oil
time glory. The bucks wear their bcs
togs-feather bedecked costumes an
many colored paints-while the squaw
take part in their finest gowns.
The authorities here know no,
welded the Indian is to his finery. The
believe, however, thta in the course Q
decade the ycan get the Indian t
quit his feathers and skins and pain:
for fine potatoes, beautiful fields q
grain, pretty horses, fattensl catt]

Louis Hanson, president of the Optic.

the kind of work that should be done
and is expected of them. They will
then be asked to take the state test an(
if failing to pass or failing to take the

The colored presiding elder of the
African Methodist church, who was a

is evidently meeting with the same op.
position in Montana as he did in North
Dakota, this city being one of the

The following dispatch comes from
Great Falls:
William Smith, a colored man, oper-
ating at Fergus Falls, MIMI, and
Grand Forks, N. D., earlier in the
month, is serving sentence here for
drunkenness, following his attempt to
pass himself off as former presiding
elder in the African Methodist church
at Fergus Falls. He showed checks az.
gregating more than 100000, and said
he wanted to buy seven farms for his
seven daughters, whom he intended to
bring from the south. At Grand Forks
he passed himself off as lawyer.

ORGANIZATIONS LAUNCHED FOR
PURPOSE OF MAINTAINING A
BAR ILLEGAL, ....

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 2s.-Occasion.
ally the secretary Of state receives ap-
plications for charter for clubs or
private associations, the purpose Of
which is to maintain a social resort in
which liquors of cigars are kept for
the use Of the members. Two such
applications have been received and
the legality of granting charter being
in doubt, Attorney General Miller was
asked for and has rendered an opinion
as follows:
"You have submitted to this office
the articles of Incorporation of the
------ association, from which it
appears that the purpose of the assoc
iation is to provide meeting place
for members of the association where
they may keep and have their liquors,
cigars and refreshments. We are ask
cd to advise if charter may be is
sued to the corporation, the light of
the disclosure made by the articles.
"Section 4l6s, R. G. 1905, is to the
effect that private corporations NAV
be formed for any purpose for which
individuals may lawfully associate
themselves together. Section 9377 pro.
vides that every person who shall di-
rectly or Indirectly keep or maintain
by himself or by associating or com.
bining himself with others, or who shall
in any manner aid, assist or abet, in
keeping or maintaining any club room
or other place in which Intoxicating
liquors is received or kept for the pur-
pose of use. gift, barter or sale, ETC.,
shall be guilty Of misdemeanor.
''The purpose Of the association ask
ed to be incorporated is undoubtedly
to maintain club room such as pro-
hibited expressly by the section refer
red to. In other words, the purpose
for which the incorporators are asso-
ciating themselves together is unlaw-
full in this state and charter should
therefore be rcfused.0

With four cases out Of seven on the
Federal court calendar for this term
settled, the routine work was not as
exciting as had at first been contem-
plated.
The Bavella case aaginst the Great
Northern in which the plaintiff was
suing for $4,000 damages for the
death of her husband, Greek, who
was killed here last fall, was interest
ing to the spectators and was decided
by the jury in favor of the railroad
company.
The Covill VS.. Bergtrup case, NAL
practice case, was turned back to the
state courts.
The John Keya case against the
Great Northern, an Indian case in
which the plaintiff had lost foot, was
settled out Of court.
The Hooper case VS.. the Great North
ern was continued.
The O'Keefe VS.. the Gas Traction
on the calendar was decided in favor Of
the plaintiff, who was given back tn"
purchase price and interest.
The case of VIM. Falger, trustee, VS..
John R. Haslam was started.
One Of the most interesting cases
from a local point Of view was that
started by c. G. Connolly against How
ard Whipple for $1,000, which the
plaintiff claimed due him for commits
sion. This case was settled for $50.
! The case was an important one on
account Of the large amount involved
and the wide acquaintance of the par
ties. The facts as obtained by The
World seem to be as follows: When the
| Whipple family determined to sell their
farm east of town Mr.. Connolly asked
the privilege of trying to find pur.
chaser and the opportunity was give,,
him. There was no arrangement made
whereby he was to have the exclusive
handling of the transaction, Howard
Whipple, on behalf of the family, re-
serving the right to make the sale
should he wish to do so.
After Mr.. Whipple sold the land him
self, Mr.. Connolly then made claim
that he had found a purchaser, NAMING
an entirely different party than the one
Mr.. Whipple had sold to. Connolly
then started suit for $1,000, claimin;
this enormous sum as his commission
When the case was ready for trial, Mr.
Whipple was informed that Mr.. Con
molly would settle and on advice Of hi
attorneys reluctantly consented to tn,
final arrangement, rather than be de
tanned here for an indefinite period. =.
It is only fair to state that the Whir
pie family lived in Devils Lake for 2
years and no intimation of dishono1
able dealing was ever charged to an,
member of the family.
