CROWS STAMPEDE CATTLE

Darlington, N. D., Oct. 24.-The
other noon a great flock of crows
swooped close to the pasture in
which R. E. Walker has his cele-
brated black cattle. Four of the
calves were badly frightened and
stampeded, going through a three
wire fence and not bringing up until
they had reached Norman Nickol-
sons pasture, four miles away. A
farm hand went on horseback In
search of the calves within a short
time after.ethey stampeded, finding
them in the Nicholson pasture. In
returning home two of the calves
played out and we're left to recuper-
ate, but they have not since been
found.

VOTE DOWN new COLLEGE
Methodists Defeated Proposition for
New Institution at Mandan or
Bismarck

Rev. ]. G. Morrison, pastor Of the
M. E. church at jamestown, returned
Tuesday night from the annual state
conference at Grand Forks and re-
ports one of the most successful ses-
sions ever held by the North Dakota
Methodists.
Defeat of the proposition of es-
tablishing a new Methodist college in
the state resulted when a vote was
taken late Monday afternoon by the
state conference. The proposition
was urged by the educational COM
mittee of the conference in the re-
port presented by Chairman Van
Horne of Mandan and was favored by
speakers from the Missouri slope dis
trict.
When the vote WIS taken the de-
cision of the conference was almost
unanimous in favor of the abandon
ment of the proposed project and
this vote is an indirect endorsement
of the work of Wesley college in
Grand Forks. The fact that the con-
ference already has Wesley College.
and that it was doing the work that
dcnominational institution is called
upon to do, we're the arguments pre-
sented by speakers opposing the slope
proposition, and for that reason the
vote is taken as good endorsem .nt
of the local institution.
Before the report of the committee
on education was brought up the con-
ference disposed of number of mat
ters of business. The report of the
statistical secretary showed that a
total of $25,476 was collected dur
ing the year for benevolences. The
conference membership was also re-
ported to be 1866, gain during
the year of sol members. The re-
port showed that Bismarck district
has a net gain of $50, Fargo 1873,
Grand Forks and Minot 81.

BULLET ROUTE FAILED

Lidgerwood Broadaxe.-Not one
time in a thousand does man re-
cover who has had his chest pene-
trated by a 38-calibre bullet, enter
ing Just above the heart, piercing
the left lung and making an exit two
inches from the spinal column. but
John Peterson, the wheat buyer for
the St. Anthony & Dakota Elevator
company at Erskine, seems to be
that one. He shot himself about
ten days ago and in addition to the
wound referred to, he had another
bullet play tag with his skull. On
ton of it all, he wanted to die.
However, he is setting up every
day now, is eating, his mind is clear
and every indication points to an
early complete recovery. His heart
action is good, his respiration Is good
and now it appears to be just a ques-
ton of a short time when nature
does the rest.
Should a thousand attempts 20
made to get bullet through the av-
erage person without being fatal they
would all fail, but in this case, where
death was sought, the man will i've

RY. COMMISSIONERS IN SES.
SION

Bismarck Oct. 24-The North Da-
kota railway commissioners left for
Grand Forks today where a session
of about three days duration will be
held. One of the matters to be con-
sidered is the recent order for better
train accommodations at the town of
Leeds. Travelling statesmen some
time ago petitioned the commission
to have an order directing the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific to
stop one more train each day at that
station. A passenger visiting Leeds
is obliged to lay over in that town
twenty-five hours or make an expen-
sive drive. It is hardship to the
commercial travellers who desire to
change from one road to another In
that town.

LOOKING UP HISTORICAL DATA
Indian Mounds Along the James Riv-
er and Survivors of Sulley's
Campaign
Campaign

Curator A. C. Fish of the State
Historical Society, spent the day in
the city and one object of his visit
was to make an inspection of GER
tain Indian mounds to be found a.
long the river near the city, south
west of the Pipestem.
Mr.. Fish is also looking up his
torical Information concerning the
Sully campaign, which is one of the
important events in the early history
of the state. Sully started from old
Fort Rice and fought one of the
greatest Indian battles in the states
history in the Kildeer mountains in
Dunn county. There are number
of survivors of General Sully's army,
who are still living as residents of
the state, and these men are being
looked up and their recollections
and data furnished by them, record
ed for use of the future historian
of North Dakota.
General Sully's fight in the Kill
deer mountains was on July %,
1864. There were about 5000 In
dians and 1000 troops. The gener-
al left portion of his stores and
equipment on the march, protected
by corral south of Antelope, in
Stark county, and marched north in
to the Kildeer countains where many
evidences yet remain of the battle
After defeating the Indians Sully's
army returned to their corral and
marched into Montana and from
Montana down the Yellowstone tt
the Missouri and to Fort Rice. A.
mong the survivors of that noted
campaign is J. D. Harker, now q
resident of Kidder county, N. D.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE
On 1.-THE Mandan Indians" nlustrat.
ed by Number of Views

Prof. o. G. Libby of the North Da-
kota University and a member of the
state historical society, gave a most
instructive and interesting lecture
Saturday evening at the high school
auditorium. The large auditorium
was filled to it's capacity, the au-
dience being composed mostly of
school children and teachers.
The subject of the lecture was
"The Mandan Indians" and it was
profusely illustrated with pictures of
their customes and villages, which
were secured in part from views from
his own trips among those Indians.
Prof. Libby began his lecture by a
short sketch of North Dakota when
buffaloes and Indians were the only
inhabitants. Among the phases he
gave which distinguished the Indians
of the present time from those of the
early days were the log houses now
used by them instead of the skin
tents and later the canvas, the last
being the invention of the white
man. Their children now go to
school; they raise horses, cattle, but
don't plow or reap much as it is very
hard to teach them agriculture.
There is a change in their style of
houses, in the southern part of the
state frame houses being used most
ly. The style of dress, both with
the women and the men is also an
other radical change.
Among the pictures show was an
Indian village at FIT. Clark in 1887
with it's circle of houses surrounding
the holy place, which was distin-
guished from the others by its fiat
roof, the cottages having round roofs;
the building of the Mandan lodges
which looked like hills or mounds
was explained. There were pictures
of various games, some of which last
all day and into the night; convey
ances when moving, the sweat lodge,
the Indians being fond of sweat
baths, which they consider a cure of
all diseases, especially rheumatism
and Indigestion. The skin canoes
which hold 500 pounds were shaped
like tub and with these the Indians
skillfully crossed the rivers.
The speaker said that contrary to
the opinion of many people the In
dians were a very jolly people and
have keen sense of humor. When
visiting them he was constantly a
source of great amusement for them
in many ways. One picture showed
the rain maker on top of the house
shooting into the air and calling for
rain; all have a turn at this and the
one calling when rain falls gets the
credit for the moisture. The sun
dance, with it's horrible tortures, was
shown, the religious ceremonies at
Easter time and the buffalo society
with it's dances, which made the buf-
falo come, the same as the rain max
er the rain.
An interesting picture was that
of the model from which the Sculp-
tor Spencer, made his statue of Sa-
kakaWea, ..... q.

THE PRIZE WINNERS
FOR BEST CORN EXHIBITS BY
SCHOOL CHILDREN OF
STUTSMAN COUNTY
Great Interest Taken in Contest
Best Ears 90 to State
Exhibit

The prize winners in the third an
nual county corn contest held in
jamestown, Friday, October goth,
are given below. The prizes were
given, as rule, by districts and US
ually were IS for the first, $3.50
for second and 81 for third prize.
In the Rose district the prizes we're
divided among six contestants. Coun-
ty Superintendent McGinnis awarded
small prizes for the best essay on
corn, the first going to Nettie Al
brecht of Fried, the second to Fran
ces Frey of Bloom, the third to john
ny Mccarthy of Round Top.
The first prize corn in each Of the
districts will be sent to the state corn
exhibit n Fargo in January. In the
exhibits from Mt. Pleasant and Lyon
district the qualities were considered
by the judge not sufficiently up to
| the standard to award first prize,
| SO second prizes were given instead.
The three county prizes were TAX
en- as follows:
First, Orville Albrecht, Fried; Sec
ond, Peter Woychik, Lees; third,
Helen Pendray, Eldridge.
These prizes the county superin-
tendent, Miss McGinnis intended to
provide herself, but an effort is be-
ing made to send the winners to at
tend the boys and girls institute at
Fargo, near Christmas time, and this
NAV be done. All corn grown was
the Golden Dent. The large ears ex-
hibited from the Lyon district were
not of that variety and could there
fore receive no prize.
During the judging Prof. Randlett
of Fargo gave the children an inter-
esting talk on corn culture and en-
couraged them not to leave the farm
to 20 into other occupations.
