THE NOTED SIOUX CHIEF WAS 4
CLEVER POLITICIAN AND
A GREAT WARRIOR
HIS RISE, DOWNFALL AND DEATH
History Has Shed a False Light About
Old Indian Who Made 1t Warm FG.'
Pale Fac-Simile Man Broke His
Treaty
tCopyrighLl

History has shed false liglt
around Sitting Bull, the Sioux Indian
chieftain 1t has made of him a
warrior; a red Mars who led his
naked savages with the dash of a
Murat and evaded disastrous battles
with all the genius of Fabius. Bu-
that is not the real Sitting Bull. 1t
H. red and yellow and vivid impress
sionism; it should be drab in mono i.
chrome. Sitting Bull was a politician.
Sitting Bull began his career as a
fighter. 1t is recorded that while a
boy OF ten he killed a bison. When
only IA he and five or six grown
companions murdered three Crow In
dams. For this heroic exploit, tue
Young Indian, then known as Jumping
Badger was renamed Sitting Bull, az
ter his father. And henceforth he
remained true to the change, from a
jumper to a sitter.
When about the legal age as tie
white man reckons it, Sitting Bull r.
tired from war-like arts and began
making medicine" He entered poll
tics. He was astute enough to see
that the medicine men had all the
POWER in his tribe, seeming we'll paid
by few brief days of glory. He was
now, one might say, wardman in tl;t
Sioux invisible government"
Sitting Bull soon rose to be tie
most powerful of the medicine men
He was tall, stern visaged man, the
ideal Indian in physiognomy. The
tribal patronage became his. He fast
ed, prayed and performed mysterious
rites to increase his hold on the M
ton. Instead of a sewer contract he
gave his favorites the privilege OF
stealing horses.
:. A Man of Ability
But it must not be concluded that
Sitting Bull was without ability. II
represented the tribe in it's dealings
with the government and showef.
qualities approaching real states
n.anship He obtained treaty that
save the Sioux Indians more liberty
t: an any other in America.
He discarded the titles of chi e
and medicine man He was man,
he said. The ceremonies preceding
battles we're conducted by him. FL
wen made rude plans to g.vern tnr
warriors in their fights. But he diL
not unsheath his tomyhawk. Tnsteao
re retired to the medicine house and
there while his followers were at
war, he prayed and forecasted vic
tory. If victory came his medicine
was the cause; If defeat, the war
riors had listened to the bad spirits

SENTENCED TO PEN|TENTlARY
Former St. Paul Police Officers Con
victed Of Taking Money From
Disorderiy Resorts.

Martin Flanagan. former chief of
police. and Fred Turner, former city
detective, convicted by jury at st.
Paul of third degree bribery for
accepting $4,000 for police protection
for disorderly resort, were SEN
fenced by Judge Morrison in district
court to indeterminate terms of not
to exceed ten years in Saltwater pris-
on. On motion of attorneys for the
defendants Judge Morrison granted a
stay of sentence until April 4 and the
two men were released on bonds of
$4,000 each. This was the second
trial of the former police officers, the
first one, in which they were accused
of accepting $1,000 from another re-
sort keeper, resulting in a verdict of
not guilty. The jury in the second
trial was twenty-eight hours arriving
at verdict. There are nine remain.
ing indictments against the defend
ants charging bribery :. in the third
degree and another charging grand
larceny. The county attorney has not
yet decided whether he will push any
of the remaining indictments.
Woman Makes Confession.
The second of the graft cases re.
quired eight days for the trial. The
indictment charged Flanagan, Turner
and May Burke with accepting a bride
of $4,000 from Ida M. Dorsey for po.,
lice protection of a. resort she opened
in St. Paul the latter part of Jan.
uary, 1913,
Much of the testimony in the case
was similar to that in the first trial.
The Burke woman was not on trial,
as the attorneys for Flanagan and
Turner asked that they be tried sepa.:
rately.
AS in the first case the Burke WON.
an made complete confession of the
part she had in the Dorsey and other
graft deals. The defense charged
that she did this to gain immunity
from prosecution and that the story
she told was all 'frameup'' against
Turner and Flanagan.
County Attorney O'Brien denies,
however, that she will be given, any
immunity. Her attorneys. Stan. u.
.Donnelly and Harry Weiss, also deny
that any promises of immunity have
been made to them, or that they be.
lieve she will not be prosecuted.

murdered Father Rich, a French Jes.

An army of $4,000 Chinese troops is

q force of 1000, half of whom are
armed with modern rifles.
The opinion is expressed here that
unless the opportunity is seized of ex-

inclination to come to close quarters

INSURANCE BUREAU
CHECKS CONDITIONS
State Rating Board Goes
Over Report of Richmond
Asking Reduction.

Engineers from the Indiana fire in
surance bureau may be in Richmond
now checking up the claims the in
surance committee of the Commercial
club has made for lower insurance
rates.
George Eggemeyer, chairman of the
committee, announced last night at the
meeting of the Commercial club that
the work of the committee has been
completed for two weeks, and it is
through the absence of E. M Sellers
from Indianapolis that a report has
not been made by the bureau.
Announcement was made that the
Indiana Fire Prevention association
will hold its October meeting in Rich
mond. This will be on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 10. For this reason the next
general meeting Of the club will be a
day later than scheduled, and will be
held in connection with the prevention
association meeting.
At this meeting women and school
children will be asked to attend as
we'll as men. The meeting will con-
of the association as to the needs of
the city toward fire prevention.
Wednesday, October Z, will be fire
prevention day in the state. Mr.. Egge-
meyer said the insurance committee
desires the cooperation of the citizens
in carrying out the purpose of the
day 1t is probable that future ALI
nouncements will be made giving sug-
gestions as to what can be done on
fire prevention day.

Calls for Business.
For what Richmond needs, he sup
piled a list including more factories,
live industries, increased payrolls and
bigger business enterprises. He said
that Commercial club has paid too
much attention to amusements such
as fall festivals and parks and too
little to legitimate business proposit-
ions. He also outlined the plan Of
raising an industrial fund of $250,000
which Secretary Jordan presented.
Mr.. Kemper said Richmond should
have ornamental cluster lights on
Main street If the citizens were will
ing to pay for them.
c. B. Beck, speaking for the new
members, declared the Commercial
club is the most important of the
units which compose the city of Rich
mond. He said the club should take
advantage of the reputation it has
abroad and boost more.
The Commercial club leads citizens
to have the right view of questions
by presenting them right, Henry Gen.
nett said Richmond now has the op-
portunity of becoming the leading city
of Indiana and the Commercial club
can do it, he said, and the awakening
to the need of greater industrial pro-
duction in the United States affords
the opportunity of carrying out the
industrial fund plan.

.NUSBAuM DECIDES
TO RUN ON TICKET
OF PROGRESS|VES
Changes Mind After Declin-
ing Nomination - Price
Forms Party Club With
1000 Active Members.

Lee B. Nusbaum today announced
that he had reconsidered his intention
of rendering his resignation as q can
didate for county councilman on the
Progressive ticket and that he would
make the race.
Mr.. Nusbaum was influenced not to
tender his resignation by many of his
friends and because he is anxious to
do all in his power to promote the
success of the Progressive ticket.
The Progressive county central
formation Of a Progressive club of
1900 party workers in every section
of the county, now has the most COM
plete organization ever effected by
political party in this county.
When the announcement was made
by precinct chairmen throughout the
county that a Progressive club was
to be organized, applications for men,
bership at once began to pour into
party headquarters, eloquently show
ing that the party is even stronger
today than it was two years ago.
viii Get Out Vote.
These club members have pledged
themselves to assist their precinct
chairman In every way possible and
their services will be extremely val
liable in the work of having the full
party strength registered the fifth of
next month, and in getting out the
vote next November.
The poll Of the county being taken
by the precinct chairmen is nearly
complete and the results are extreme
ly gratifying to County Chairman
Price. 1t shows that the party has not
| only conserved its strength but is
steadily gaining new recruits. One of
the largest precincts in the city,
where Republican leaders had expect
ed to make big gains, showed 14S Pro.
gressives, so Democrats, 40 Republi.
cans and 40 who announced them
selves independent voters" That the
poll is not "doctored" is shown by the
! report from a Washington township
precinct, which frankly sets forth the
fact that three-fourths of the voters
in it are Democrats.
