CAPTAIN CYABTREE HAS
EXCELLENT REPUTATION

In order to set right any false i'm
preston that the public may have
gained regarding the character of
Captain Crabtree. who was in charge
of the barge that sank at the Lehigh
Valley docks last week, the EVEN
ING NEWS desires to state that
while 1t Is true the captain was
ashore when the boat went down,
he had merely left his boat to tele-
phone to the Lehigh Valley author
tiles that his boa. was sinking.
When a reporter investigated the ac-
cident he was told the captain was
ashore when the barge sank. He
took this to mean the captain was
ashore to spend the night, which is
contrary to the rules of the COM
pany. AS a matter of fact, the
EVENING NEWS has learned that
Captain Crabtree is one of the most
trusted employees of the Lehigh VAL
ley in its marine department and
it is in justice to his reputation that
his statement Is made.

JEFFERSON co. OLD SETTLERS
ASSOCIATION GET INDIANS
FOR CELEBRATION. "

Fairfield, June 25.-"One of the big
gest celebrations ever held in south
eastern Iowa" That is what is being
planned by the committee for the JEFF
ferson county old settlers association
meeting this fall. A real old time
western celebration is being arranged
for which includes tribe of real In
dams from the Tama reservation, a
buffalo barbecue and other features.
A committee composed of Attorney
e. r. Smith, Ralph Maddox and S. S.
Crane went to Tama reservation Mon
day and secured contract with Chief
Push-e-to-ne-qua Of the Mus-qua-kie
tribe to bring his members here for a
two days celebration at a date to be
fixed by the old settlers committee. On
the day preceding the celebration they
expect to land in Fairfield and spend
the greater part of the day in an old
fashioned wolf hunt, bringing with
them regular wolf dogs for the event.
The Indians will travel by wagon
trains as they did when Iowa was one
big Indian country, and it will prob
ably take them about three or four
days to make the trip. The Indians
are really anxious to come as they
have heard of the buffalo barbecue
which is to be a feature Of the old set
tiers celebration. Permission has been
granted to the chief and his tribe to
go with the committee to the Sing
master farm near Keota, where the
buffalo are to be purchased and there
STAY the animals and prepare them for
the barbecue. The younger members
of the tribe are enthusiastic over the
proposed trip to Fairfield and talked
excitedly about the wolf hunt and the
buffalo meat to the committee who
visited them.
Last year the old settlers associa-
ton Of Jefferson county had buffalo
barbecue and when the day arrived 1t
was rainy and bad weather and yet In
spite of that nearly ten thousand peo-
pie spent the day In the city. This
year with nice weather, the Indians
