One Secured on BerthoId
Reservation Goes 10 New
York Museum
Chief Wolf Tells How EIkhorn
Bows We're Made BY
The indians

A representative of the American
Museum OF Natural History Of New
York who has been sojourning among
the Indian tribes in this part of the
state has secured an excellent specl.
men, of the Elk Horn bow. The Am.
erican Museum OF New York for the
past number of years has been en-.
deavoring to secure an Elk Horn bow
and the representative feels very for
tunate in securing such an excellent
specimen.
The bow was secured from Wolf
Chief Of the Gros Ventra tribe at the
Fort Berthold reservation ad was
made by Wolf Chief himself this sum.
mer. Wolf Chief when questioned
about the bow and how it was made
told the following story in his own
language:
Elk Horn bows have been made
by our fathers ever since the world
began. We did not use them for war
or to shoot buffaloes, but were used
for dress occasions or what you white
men call go cOurting. You might
shoot rabits or birds with an Elk
Horn bow but could not use them in
battle as they might break. They
are beautiful and all owners are
proud OF them. have owned two
during my life. The first one was
made for me by my father when l
was a boy. 1t was not large one
and was merely platbing. 1t was
made out of only one Elk Horn. AT.
terwards a good one was made for
me by my father in which two Elk
Horns were used helped him make
it while we were on a hunt in the
Black Hills one day. Those days the
wood bows had to be softened. They
were buried in trench with mud
over them and fire was kept burn
ing over it for several 4ay. That is
all l want to tell how the bow is
made; l want to keep it to myself.
A bow for hunting is made out of
wood and plain backed, while an Elk
Horn bow Is backed with sinew. The
war or hunting bow was carried in
case that was sewed to the quiver
while an Elk Horn bow is carried in
a quiver itself. Hunting arrows are
put in quiver point downward, but
arrows for an Elk horn bow are put
in point up. These points are made
of steel and when put In fire they
turn to a pretty blue. The Elk horn
bow 10 thrust up through the quiver
and at the end Of the horn is fasten.
ed a piece OF scalp or porcupine quill
to snow the owners mark of honor.
The Elk horn bows are handsome
and we value them as much as a
horse. + am very glad to have the
bow where the white people can see
it for the years to come.'
That is the story and history of
the famous Elk Horn bow. Wolf
Chief is member of what is known
in this part Of the country as the Gros
Nentre tribe, but the native name Of
the tribe is Hidatsa. Wolf Chief owns
many acres of land at the Fort Berth
old reservation and also conducts a
store at that place. He is success
full merchant and is we'll liked by all
members Of his tribe. Although he
cannot speak English he can read and
is one of the Daily Tribune's most
interested readers.

Rendered County

The libel case against Packard and
Opdike is being continued today be-
fore Judge Olson. County Treasurer
kositzky has been on the stand all
day and has had considerable dihi-
Guilty in answ ering question on cross
examination. The case will be con.
tinued tomorrow.
This case Is attracting great deal
of attention and upon close inspec-
ton Of the county record which is
positive evidence that Mr.. Patterson
had not been grating, but on tie 9TH
er hand had been very moderate in
his charges for services, it would ap-
pear that Mr.. Opdyke Is very much
in the position Of the famous come
dian, Harry Lauder who said, "the
mate sent me out to spank the jab-
boon and the jabboon spanked me-"
lnasmuch as the charges are very
grave and one might be lead to be-
lieve that Mr., Patterson had proven
a highwayman in his capacity as
county commissioner that he had
glutted himself on the peoples mon.
ey, and wallowed in filthy lucre which
he had pilfered from Burleigh, it
might be we'll to take close look
at the record, which is the best evi-
dence in the case. In order to get
under the skin in this matter, the rec
ords during Mr.. Pattersons five and
one-half years OF alleged robbery
have been inspected in the minutest
detail, checking every item. As a
result of this investigation 1t is re-
vealed that Mr.. Patterson received
personally during these five and one
half years the sum of SI843.45, or an
average of 1886 per month, or $780,
81 per year as per diem for attending
board meetings and viewing roads,
bridges, looking after the poor, sign
ing warrants, in fact for all his serv-
ices to the county. That he paid out
Of his own pocket for the transporta-
ton of paupers and unfortunate taken
in charge, the total sum Of $196.63
for the five and one-half years, or
$3.O3 per month or $36.32 per year.
This amount was refunded to him
because of it's having been advanced
from his private funds to the county
until the board met and the charges
do not enter into the question of his
total receipts from the county at all.
These figures are prepared by
County Auditor Flaherty, and are be-
ing presented to the court this after
noon.
The fact fthe matter is, the small
remuneration of $340 per year for the
vast amount Of work required of this
offer, the numerous detail incumbent
upon him, and he ability required to
execute the business in a business
like, safe and sane manne, is nothing
short of a joke, and any attempt to
blacken such record is prompted
through no motive other than venom.

STATE BOARD
IN session
Beard Of Equalization Hold.
k1g Annual Meeting this
: Week At Capitol
Several County Auditors and
Commissioners are 10
Attendance

The state board Of equalization
convened at the office Of State Au-
ditor Brightbill yesterday afternoon,
when there were several couty aud
itors and railroad attorneys who
appeared before the board. The aft
ernoon was taken up with arguments
by the attorneys and discussions on
the part of some of the county Off
cials.
Geo. A. Kingsley, of the legal de-
partment of the 500 line represented
that company Tax Commissioner
NJ. T. Sanders, appeared for the
Northern Pacific. Attorney Maher
!, and Tax Commissioners Hayden rep
resented the Great Northern.
There were no complaints on the
part OF the railroads, except the 500
line which held that they had been
raised unduly high and asker for a
reduction. This is the first time in
several years that q railroad COM
pany has asked for q reduction.
Among the county officers present
were:
H. F. Emery, city assessor for Far
60.
r. ]. Rush, chairman county COM
missioners, Cass county.
Addison Aeech, auditor Cass
county.
Chas. w. 4>elson, auditor Barnes
county.

county commissioners, Bares county.
F. A. Burton, auditor of Richlad

Hans Anderson, auditor Of Grand
Forks county.
Jas. A. Brown, auditor Rolette
county.
It is probable that most Of the
sessions Of the board will be called
to order about 3 O'clock, as It has
proved more satisfactory, because Of
giving each officer more time to get
the work Of his Office out Of the
way in the forenoon.

The former governor remarked

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 14.-Mrs.
Madeline Force Astor, survivor OF
the Titanic disaster, in which her
husband, the late Col. John Jacob AS
tor, lost his life, last April, gave
birth to a son at y: 10 this morning.
The new arrival has been named
John Jacob Astor, after its father.
The baby becomes a direct heir to
three millions OF the Astor fortune.
The attending physician said:
Mother and son are in good con-
dition." The fact that its father
proved himself hero in the Titanic
disaster by stepping aside to let
women and children take places in
the life boats and that the wife from
whom he then parted was his bride
of but few months, coupled with
the large fortune which was provided
for posthumous child, have lent in
terest to the arrival of the youngest
Astor.
The. new Astor baby is one of the
few children born with a fortune as
large as three millions in its own
right. The colonel had provided that
whether the child was a boy or a
girl, it should receive the same sum,
and even if the stork brought more
than one child, Astor's will also COW
cred that contingency, as it read as
follows:
81 bequeath such a number of sep
arate sums of $3,OO0,000 each as shall
be equal to the number of my chill.
dren who shall survive me, other
than my son, William Vincent, and
my daughter, Ava Muriel Astor.'
The latter children are by Colonel
Astor's first wife, Mrs. Ava Willing
