God Was Looking After
the Redskins NJ g h ty
Well Until White Man
Shouldered the Burden

Attended by four tribesmen Little
Bear, chief of homeless band of
Chippewa Indians, stalked into the
lobby of the Placer hotel at Helena
the other day and had conference
with the representative of the
White Father.
God was taking care of us all
right until the white man came and
took the responsibility off His
hands. Last winter our wives and
our children lived on dogs and the
carcasses of frozen horses to keep
from starving"
So Chief Little Bear dramatically
exclaimed to Secretary of the In
terror Franklin X. Lane in support
OF his plea that the government
furnish him and his tribe with land
sufficient to care for 500 Indians
and to assist them until they became
self supporting.
Little Bear said his band did not
want to go to Browning on the
Blackfeet reservation; that last
winter it lived on dogs and fr(zen
carcasses of horses. He went to
the agent, Mr.. McFatridge, he con
tinued, who showed him the door
and said he did not want the Chip
pewas around.
Secretary Lane inquired why she
other indians were cared for and
the Chippewas were not. Litle

Fires Decreasing

The campaign made by the For
estry Service to teach people the
prevention of forest fires has been
very effective Very few fires
have been reported in the
western states this summer, and
those that have broken out were
started by lightning. 1t will not be
long before the dreaded prairie fire
will be unknown. The settling up
the country and the large fields
will eliminate nost of the fuel and
ground for the flames of the great
plains.

On Sunday morning at about ten
O'Clock occurred a very serious
accident at the Wakefield rancn IS

Marcher, father of Miss May March,

enraged bull.
He had gone into the field to
drive out some stray stock when
the animal became angry and
charged, knocking him down and
using its head and feet with deadly
results upon his PROSTATE body.
Had not two riders happened on the
scene the aged man would have
been killed outright. The two
horsemen finally succeeded in get

The Coming
Harvest Outlook
Not a Bumper, But Farm
ers Look at it With
Much Satisfaction

A more cheerful f e | i n G
relative to the crop situation pre-.
walls in Cut Bank today. After
subtracting for damage done by
hail and a slight frost some time
ago, there remains the possibility
of a good harvest, which will be
ready for the sickle in couple OF
weeks.
While the crop in the Cut Bank
section may not be as good as that
of 1912, it is said by those who
have travelled quite extensively
through the grain belt between
here and the boundary line that
there are a number of fields of grain
that are more promising than those
of any former year. East and
northeast of town, outside of the
hail zone north of here and in the
country beyond Headlight are to
be seen many fine fields of winter
and spring wheat, oats and flax.
Conditions since the recent rainfall
have been almost ideal for the
maturing Of grain, which will soon
be beyond the critical stages.
The threshing machine men are
commencing to make preparations
for the fall campaign. One or two
owners of machines from sections
outside, where crops are not so
promising, have been making in
quiries as to the wisdom of bringing
their outfits in here. The real busy
season on the ranches will soon
commence and there will be no let
up until the late autumn.

Fred Kruger

That Head Light Valley land is
indeed valuable is no longer mere
supposition but an intense reality,
for all one has to do is ask Fred
Kruger, who this week sold his fine

Strain. The consideration we under
stand was $3.50. Fred will in all
probability engage in the machin-

Old Indian Chief Pleads to Lane

Bear said rich people had prevented
It, that they wanted the land. H,
SAID God did not create the worlC
all tor the rich, but for the rich anC
poor alike,
Little Bear not only wanted the
land, but he wanted to be assured
there would be no taxes on it. He
explained white men had become
rich from land the Indians owned
and the government was ri c h
enough anyway to throw off the
taxes in this particular case.
Secretary Lane was emphatic in
that the government will not help
Indians who are lazy, or who, when
given an opportunity, squander it
away.
God ordained" said the secre-
tary, that man must work to live.
and nobody gets the land who does
not use it. The white man took
the Indian land to raise wheat and
corn and oats, and cattle. The land
produces nothing. 1t is the man
who produces things"
That's what we're AFTER" re-
sponded the somber old chief.
The fact was elected by the sec
retary that forty years ago the
Chippewas were offered eighty
acres of land apiece, but
they spurned the offer. Now they
want what they can get.
Little Bear asked that portion
Of the Fort Assinniboine reserva-
ton be set aside for his band, and
he secretary explained that would
nave to be obtained from congress.

Popularity of
Tom Walsh
Has Broken In" as a Man
Who Does Things

To have a caricature of himself
which it is question whether hi,
friends will admire or not, publish
ed in leslie's weekly, is not the
only place where Senator T. J
Walsh of Montana has broken in.'
A kindly caricature of Montana's
junior senator was reproduced in &
recent issue of the Helena indie.
pendent. 1t was drawn by Kemble
one of the most famous of eastern
artists.
But Senator Walsh has broken IN
elsewhere. His plea for revenue
duty on sugar and wool before the
democratic caucus is said to have
been one of the most masterly
presentations of the subject ever
heard before any body of congress
or any party caucus. Those who
did not intend to vote with Senator
Walsh and those who agreed with
him, alike applauded when he had
concluded his arguments.
AS member of the lobby in
vestigation committee, Senator
Walsh distinguished himself by an
entirely new method of cross-exam-
ination of witnesses, according to
some of the best known Washing
ton Correspondents, who have re-
ported such hearings for many
years They declare the junior SEN
ator from Montana has introduced
some new methods of cross examin-
alton, made possible by his remark
able memory, and his work as a
member of the lobby investigation
committee was very effective.
There has been some talk that
Senator Walsh might lose influence
with the white house and the depart
ments because of bis fight for the
revenue duty on wool and sugar,
which he understood the democratic
platform to pledge. But it seems the
senator has gained rather than lost
by taking a conscientious stand on
the tariff question.
Montana visitors in Washington
and correspondents of the senator's
usually conclude after they have
presented their cases. that Senator
W alsh is busy, has the respect of
the departments and doubtless of
the white house.
Few men have made the record in
SO short time made by Senator
Walsh; still fewer have broken in"
so quickly without the use of grand
stand methods and plenty of assis-
tance from the press agents. The
junior senator has broken in'' be-
of his ability and sincerity So far as
known he has not patronized the ag-
ent bureaus. If Senator Walsh does
a good thing for the state, some
friend or business associate is more
likely to hear of it privately than
the public thru a special or an
Associated Press dispatch.
Besides, Senator Walsh has brok-
en- into the republican newspapers
of Montana and they have commend
ed him in the face of bitter attacks,
the latest wrinkles. vituperation and
personal abuse which they use d
against him in his campaigns.

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
began to notice breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large b1otches. The itching was ter
rible and almost constant Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn SO dreadfully that /
thought could not stand 1t. For near
~ year I tried all kinds of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
"One day I saw an advertisement Of
Cuticura Remedies. I got sample of
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment and began by washing the sores
with the Cuticura Soap, then applying

The greatest mystery Ford county
ever had was solved when Sheriff Ed
son of Liberal brought back to Dodge
City Otto Reich, whose disappearance
two years ago divided the German
settlement in eastern Ford county into
two bitter factions One faction con-
tended Reich had been murdered and
their suspicious fell upon Chris Hell
land, a neighbor, who appeared with
deed to Reich's $4,000 farm He was
sued and forced to pay to the admins
traitor of Reich's estate $4,000
In spite of rumors, county officers
could not find evidence on which to
base charge, and for this lack of
prosecution were bitterly assailed.
Reich was a prosperous young
farmer and unmarried. He disap-
peared December 10, 1910. Thomas
Darcy of Offerle was appointed admin
istrator of Reich's estate and en-
ployed an attorney, who started pro-
-ceedings to compel Holland to pay for
the farm. A jury awarded the admin
istrator $500, which Holland paid to
Darcy
Neighbors who attempted digging on
the Reich farm thinking to find the
missing mans body, were driven away
by Chris Holland and his brother John
Otto Reich alleges he never received
the money he says Holland promised
to pay for the farm. He says he con-
tracted to buy land in Gray county and
that when Holland refused to pay him
could not make the payment. Holland,
he says, then threatened to cause his
arrest for the Gray county land deal
unless he fled. That he worked in
jefferson City, Mo-, eighteen months
and then for a farmer near Hutchin-
son, Kan, Reich's narrative continues.
He went to Liberal to settle on govern
ment land and was recognized by a
former neighbor, r. l. Watkins, who
knew Reich's neighbors had posted a
$500 reward.
There is no charge against Reich,
who declared he would bring proceed
ings to recover his farm.

left Leavenworth Thursday, presum-

AilIionaires seldom. smile.-Andrew Car
negie-
See the sad old millionaire
Passing in his motor car:
All. how heavy is his care
And how drawn his features arei
What a pity he has not
Anything to make him glad;
Sorrowful, indeed, his lot
Thinking of 1t makes me sad
Aufned In his warm fur coat,
You may think him richly blessed.
But a lump is in his throat.
And a pain is in his breast:
He Is not compelled to work.
He may ride around at VIII.
But thousand sorrows Turk
Underneath his waistcoast still
All his days are dismal days.
Joys may come to you and me.
But no smile of his betrays
Any hint of hidden glee;
Things which he cannot possess
Still confront him everywhere:
Hence his lack of happiness,
Poor old. sad old millionaire.
