burned by Caretaker Smith of the Fort
A~ssinnibOine reservation last Friday
afternoon. A warrant was sworn out
for the arrest Of Caretaker Smith and
was served by Sheriff Loranger. Smith
was released on $1,000 bail bond.
From what can be learned, the salary
of the caretaker on the reservation
is derived chiefly from the amount of
hay he can sell off the reservation.

when ordered to do so, and Smith re-
sorted to burning their camp wagons
as a means of retaliating.
