NARROWLY ESCAPE
BURNING TO Death
j. T. Leahy Home Near Mandan
Entirely Destroyed by Fire
Yesterday.

Mandal, Dec. 14.-Mr. and Mrs. j.
T. Leahy very narrowly escaped be-
ing cremated this morning when their
home. four miles north of the city,
was entirely destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Leahy awakened at 3 o'clock
AID found his bedroom full OF smoke.
Nearly overcome, he aroused himself
and Went to the hall and saw flames
creeping up the walls.
He returned and shook Mrs. Lea
by, finally arousing her.
They barely escaped from the
house before the entire building was
enveloped in flames. Mr.. Leahy was
only able to seize al o%vercoat and a
pair Of oyershoes, and Mrs. Leahy a
small bundle of clothes.
The fire started presumably from
an o%verheated furnace and had gain
ed a big start when the occupants OF
the house awakened. There was no
hope of saving the building. 1t was
completely destroyed, together with
all contents, a total loss of over
$4,000.
Thinly clad, Mr.. and Mrs. Leahy
made their way to the James Me.

~ShARPlESS VERDICT,

Respect for our criminal courts
has been enhanced materially by the
Sharpless verdict. In less than a
month the perpetrator of this foul
deed was indicted, convicted and i'm
prisoned for life. Compared with
many other criminal cases and espe-
cially where a woman is involved,
this sets a new pace for the mills
Of justice.
The Caillaux trial is fresh in our
minds as we contrast the courage of
this jury with the one that freed a
self-confessed murderess. Her sex,
of course, purchased easy immunity
at the hands of ali impressionable
jury.
There was little glamor about the
Sharpless case. Everyone was stun
ned by the brutality of the crime.
The deep damnation of the husbands
taking off, unsexed the wife in the
eyes of those twelve men, who we're
swayed only by the guilt of the &C.
cused.
1t took courage, however, to de-
prive this woman of her liberty for
life. The fortitude with which the
jury faced its duty to society is wor-
thy of only the highest praise.

Grandly vast and virgin land!
On Thy prairies wide and free,
There is scope for soul and hand.

Needing faith and courage new,

Thou hast called the men that do.

In Thy toll and test, they find
Healthy vigor fresh and rare, a.

On Thy soil rich harvests thrive,
Not alone of grass and grains,
But of thoughts from minds alive,
Far outreaching like Thy plains.
Thine a double gift to man,
Chance to live and room to grow
On a larger, loftier plan
Than the world was wont to know.

Still unfettered by the past
May Thy future ever be,
May Thy youthful vigor last.

A PICTURE.


Those more intimately acquainted
with the Indian, his temperament
and capacity may see more rhetoric
than promise in the portion of Frank
lin Lanes report touching upon the
Indian.
"On the first of July he writes,
the Cherokee Nation ceased to ex-
ist. The word of the white man has
been made good. These native and
aspiring people have been lifted as
American citizens into full fellowship
with their civilized c%onquerors. 1t
takes hold upon the imagination and
the memory and arouses dreams of
the day when the Indian shall be
wholly blended into our life, and at
the same time draws the mind back
wards over the stumbling story of
our relationship with him."
The picture is a beautiful one.
Hinged with Arcadianism, no section
of the nation wishes it would come
true more than the West.
There are now some 100000 Indi-
ans in the United States. In more
than fifty years the increase has been
slight. The census of 1860 showed
an Indian population of 254,3O0.
The Treasury of the United States
has trust or tribal funds approximate
ing $50, 600, 900 ald to the credit of
individual Indians in the banks of the
nation is more than s1S,000,OO0.
From a financial standpoint the
picture il not a gloomy one But the
administration of our Indian affairs
has been extravagant and inefficient.
Efforts to shift responsibility to the
individual Indian have been disas-
trous in their results.
II the present administration can
place the full burden of independence
and responsibility upon an increasing

was made il the form OF an anecdote
by Sergeant Jones of the local Unit
ed States marine recruiting corps.
The captain called up a gunner
and, pointing out a battleship several
miles away, said:

AYE, aye. sir" said the gunner.
You see the officer on deck?"

farm to the nearest railway. The
man, small and scared, sat meekly

Finally the station was reached

looking about, discovered that her

INDIAN CONDITIONS.

Cato Sells, Indian Commissioner,
comes out emphatically against the
grazilg-leasing and grazing-permit
system on Indian reservations.
Since his assumption of office, the
commissioner says that he has been
impressed with the idea that many of
the natural resources of Indian res
~ervations which nave been exploited
to the profit of the white man, might
better be developed for the financial
benefit of the Indians. He finds this
particularly true of the grazing lands
believing that there is no more lucra-
tive industrial opportunity open to
the Indians having grazing lands
than to discontinue the grazing-leas-
ing and grazing-permit system, and
in its place have them engage in the
stock raising business themselves.
With this end in view, he instituted
a plan for creating tribal herds on
those reservations having large areas
of grazing lands, and also during the
year expended nearly a million dol
lars in the purchase of we'll bred
male animals for the improvement OF
live stock belonging to the Indians.
With regard to health conditions,
the commissioner calls attention to
the fact that at the close of the fiscal
year 1918 there were fifty hospitals
with a combined capacity of 1,40O
patients, and six new hospitals
under construction, to care for
a population of three hun
dred thousand with a high percent
age Of tuberculosis and trachoma.
Out of 1S1 600 Indians on eserva-
tons, there were examined last year
81 POI. and it was learned that tuber-
culosis was present in 5000 cases
and trachoma in 10000. 1t is esti-
mated that there are $4,000 suffering
with tuberculosis and $4,000 afflicted
with trachoma. From the S300,0 900
appropriated by the last Congress,
there was made available 100000 for
hospital purposes besides direct ap-
preparations for a sanitarium in the
Choctaw Nation, Oklahoma, and one
at Red Lake or Leech Lake and on
the Fond du Lac reservation, Mime
sofa, also on the Rosebud, Pine Ridge
and Cheyenne reservations ia South
Dakota. Plans have, been prepared
for the building of seven small hos
pitfalls at a cost of from $4,000 to S15,-
900 each, on the reservations where
the need of medical attention has
been most keenly felt. The work for
the eradication of trachoma has been
vigorously pushed during the year.
The field has been divided into five
districts and an expert assigned to
each.
