The passing away from this world

The picture goes back to 1872,
when / first met John Washee, then
a boy in his teens. Although he at
tended school, when / first knew him,
he wore his hair long and his scalp
lock neatly BRAIDED. Afterwards the
long hair and %scalplock disappeared
as the ArapahOs advanced on the
ii mans roa He was a student
at the Arapaho Indian School at
Darlington when ! was superintend-
ent there. It was not long VI i'll John
Washee enlisted as a scout at Fort
Reno and served for many years with
credit to himself.
He always favored sending the
Arapaho children the school and
when Segar school was first started
he put his son., Nocoo and daughter.
Lydia in that school where they at
tended several years and were dutiful
and Obedient students.
The last few years Of his life he
has resided in Colony in a comfort
able, we'll furnished and well kept
house and has attended to his own
business of leasing I'D looking after
his several allotInents and farms
When he died, he was 9 professed
Christian and al elder in the church
to which he belonged.
He left his family in q HI.

Vermont is a Republican State, and

is William P. Dillingham;. He is an hor-

Senator Dillingham; took his time
about replying to Mr.. Prouty's charges,
but he certainly made a good job of it.
All the Senator asks is that the people of
Vermont get his record straight. The
record is there and he isn't ashamed of
it. He stands by it. He further says
that if, after the people of Vermont know
the whole truth, they prefer another
man to represent them in the United
States Senate, he will cheerfuly abide
by the result. But we do not think the
people are yet ready to accept the subti-
tute offered Enterprise.

The bugaboo business is chronic with
the Free Press. When Prouty was run
ming in 1900, the romantic contemporary
said:-
"By that time certain railroad interests
which are backing Prouty hope to have
strong political organization built uI
Which will enable him to secure the sena
toria' plum at the end of the term for
which Senator Morrill, was elected"
