JUST TO SHOW HOW WRONG
HE is"

Referring to the Presidents oppo-
sition to the recall, the Denver News
says:
The News believes the recall is
a necessary instrument for the re-
covery of democratic government;
and We can see no reason Why the
courts should be exempted from the
operations OF that instrument. At
the present moment, the last citadel
of private rights which rest on public
wrongs lis the courts The corrupt
Judge is the exception, but the re-
call is to cure THAT exception The
corrupt judge is the defender and
shield Of the corrupt and grasping
corporation, MI Taft seems to have
little objection to the recall Of other
officers But why should scoun-
drel Judge receive more mercy than
a scoundrel governor,
in our judgment President Taft
has made a. serious error and done a
serious injustice That he has done
so with the hesJ OF intentionA we
make 30 doubt and Just to show
him how wrong he Is in His estimate
of his eountrymen we ain say that
Il he were 4 municipal officer, sub
iect to the recall, We should never
dream Of invoking that instrument

THERE is A RIGHT AND
WRONG WAY TO DO
EVERYTHING.

You Might as Well Have Your jew.
elry repaired properly when the
cost is no greater.
A good many think that simple
job like putting a new pin in a
brooch can only be done one way
and that it makes no difference
where the work is done.
Next time you have some jewelry
to repair, bring it here and you will
see the difference. We take just as
much pains with a ten-cent job as
we would with one costing as many
dollars.
Every article of jewelry. left here
to repair is polished and refinished
like new, and you will be surprised
at the Transformation Of some Of the
old pieces Of jewelry that you are
about ready to throw away.

POPULARITY

It is regretta bic that
during the past few years
not everybody that wanted
an UNDERWOOD could
get one just when he
wanted it. There were not
enough to 60 around, not
even with the considerable
output Of 400 machines per
day.
Now, however, with the
largest typewriter works in
the world we hope to keep
pace for some time with the
demand.
It is not by accident that
the Underwood Company
has in a few years built up
this enormous business. It
is the logical result of sell
ing the best typewriter at
a price consistent with it's
value and giving the GUS
toner the best service ever
offered in the typewriter
business,

MAJOR M'L.dUGHLIN RECITES SOME
INTERESTING EARLY INDIAN
LORE

Sully he met and murdered a mali
named Johnson. He stripped the vic.
; tim of his second crime and put on
the dead mans clothing. In the poe.
!! ket of the vest he found $1,70O in
| money. With the dead mans rifle in
his hand, he started across the coun.
! try. Johnson was prominent Odd
Fellow, and the members of that or.
der offered big reward for the cap.
ture of the murderer. The crime was
charged to Brave Bear. The latter
eluded pursuit and made his way to
the far northwest and over into Can
ada, where he found asylum with Sit
ting Bull.
He remained with the old medicine
man and appears to have been OF
some importance in the band-now
greatly decimated in numbers. In
the summer of 1881 Sitting Bull, to
the dismay of Brave Bear, came in
and surrendered and was sent to the
Standing Rock agency, and Brave
Bear had no choice but to go with
him. That fall took charge at
Standing Rock agency, and Brave
Bear was on the reservation until the
day before my arrival. He knew me
and was not in the humor to take
chances on what would happen when
l located him. He had cached, or
said he had, considerable portion Of
the money he had robbed Johnson of,
and he took white man into his con.
fidence so far as the hidden money
was concerned, offering to divide the
wealth if the white man would put
him across the Missouri river. The
deal was made, but Brave Bear had
fingered too long. Other men on the
reservation had identified him, and
they knew of the reward that had
been offered for his capture. He was
taken across the river by his white
friend and soon after held up by a
party of four men who were on the
lookout for him. He was sent to
Yankton, then the capital of Dakota
territory, and tried for the murder
of Johnson. There was no doubt about
his guilt. He was condemned and
hanged"
(The above has been written by
United States Indian Inspector James
Mclaughlin for the Ashley Tribune,
who for period of thirty-eight years
lived among, or had dealings with
the Indians. Several years of Mr..
McLaughlin's life were spent at Fort
Yates. What makes the parts quoted
of particular interest to many of our
readers is the fact that the Johnson

when Brave Bear was hanged for
his crime, his father, an old Indian
of the Cut Head Band of Sioux, came
and sought me at the agency.
is my son dead?" asked the father.
l was nonplussed, for it was not
given me to carry on without feeling
conversation with father about a
son who was hanged the day before.
But / had to make the best of it. The
old man was very earnest and not
at all angry-though he might have
charged me with trying to rid the
world of Brave Bear long before he
was finally overtaken by the fate that
was appointed him from the begin
ming.
He is dead" l answered.
Are you sure he is dead?" persist
ed the old man.
Il have a telegram saying that he
was hanged yesterday" said /.
1T is well" rejoined the old ran.
We are glad, his mother and myself,
for he was a bau son."
And this frightful declaration was
as near eulogium as was ever pro-
.nounced on Brave Bear, murderer
and habitual criminal-Which few OF
his tribe have been. They have been
guilty of deeds of blood, but none Of
them were sneaking murderers for a
little gain, as was Brave Bear. Even
The Only One-whose distinctive ap.
pellation might have pointed him out
as a notable exception to the COM
mon run of his people, and whose
hands were imbued in blood spilled
for gain-was a very decent sort com.
pared to his companion in crime,
Brave Bear.
Brave Bear was a sort of Indian
dude. The Only One was quite the
contrary.
In any event they attained distinc-
ton in the field of high crime, when
they found it to their purpose to com.
init a frightful butchery while en-.
gagged in robbing a settler named De-
Lorme, near Pembina, North Dakota,
in 1873. They had entered a stable
for the purpose of stealing horses,
and when two of the owners arrived
on the scene, they shot and killed
both, and third man was MORALLY
wounded. In the house were two wo-
men, and the Indians attacked them,
shooting and wounding both of them.
One Of the women put up her hands
to defend herself from blow aimed
at her head by Brave Bear, who car
ried a sword, and who struck her with
it. The blow cut off one of her fin
gers, laid open her scalp and stretch
ed her apparently dead; but she re-
covered, as did the other woman.
Brave Bear and The Only One rifled
the place, stole several horses and |
escaped to the Missouri River coun.
try, passing through Devils Lake
where l then was.
(Here follows the sorry of the return
If the two fugitives to Devils Lake

Pembina Jail and his escape there

With the speed with which the In.
liam can move when he is put to it,
Brave Bear made his way down thru
he territory to the Pine Ridge res.
,rvation. I believe he found things
90 hot for him there, or he longed

Johnson, son Of c. J. johnson of Twin
Butte, was the victim Of a painful and
serious bite by a vicious horse and
was brought into Mott to be operated
on by Drs. Rucker and Redman. The
young man was attending to his daily
duties of feeding the animal, when
for some reason or other, in passing
in front of the horse it bit him in the
face, causing very painful incision
and severing his lips in a horrible
manner. Under the care of the ply
sicians the young man is resting
easier now, and all hope he will
speedily recover from his injuries.

charge sewage into the river, it viii
be necessary to install filters In con
nection with the water works. In
stead Of filtering sewage, however, il
would be better to prevent the pOllu
ton OF the river. A bill giving the
state board of health authority over
, all public water supplies and sewer
age systems was introduced in the
last legislature, and passed the house
but was killed in the senate. This
bill, of great Importance to Bismarck
and other cities getting their water
supply from rivers, will be introduced
! again at next session and it is hoped
will meet with favorable action.
Slaughter Houses.
!! Probably there are no institutions
so offensive and which cause so much
complaint as the slaughter houses in
and near the city. This is matter
more particularly under the jurisdic-
ton of the state food commissioner
and in company with his inspectors
the city health officer has inspected
the various slaughtering establish
ments, at different times. The best
remedy for the present unsanitary
conditions in the slaughter houses
would be to have a municipal abat-
toir, built and conducted in a sani-
tary manner. Such establishments
in other cities have been paying con-
Germs.
Alleys and Backyards.
The custom of allowing garbage,
a chnc ,I1hhich IN
late in alleys, backwards and vacant
lots and then having an annual clean
up day, is complete failure as a
sanitary measure. All rubbish of that
kind Should be removed at least once
week and, if a sanitary. contractor
was appointed and householders com:
PEELED to provide proper garbage cans,
it could be done at very little ex-
pense. Manure piles in alleys are
the breeding places of flies and flies
in turn are the carriers of disease.
Civic League.
The civic league in the past year,
as formerly, has been active in all
matters pertaining to the public
health. The parks and gardens in
vacant lots that they provide and
carefully tend, are not only beauty
spots, but provide breathing spaces
and encourage many of our citizens
to get out in the open air to the bene-
fit Of their health.
Conclusion.
Notwithstanding what the statistics
show, l believe that Bismarck should
and can have the lowest death rate
of any city in the state and as you
have made a liberal provision in your
last appropriation ordinance for health
work, the statistics for the present
year should show a marked improve
ment.
Thanking you for your courtesy and
in what efforts l have
been able to make for a cleaner and
healthier city.
