Capt. Marsh Sees
Book Dramatized
Drama of EARLY Dakota With
0en. Custer and Capt. Marsh
As Central Figures

Sd0uX, Ar1cKareeS, CTOWS anu III
lied Indian tribes attacked this
point this week and captured
the interest Of every resident OF
the city. Old settlers recalled
the trying times Of the seventies,
when the hostile red man reign
ed supreme over the Dakota
praries, and the younger gene
ration reached the maximum Of
excitement. But, unlike in the
pioneer days, not scalp was
lost and there was no blood
shed.
The s'Indians" and ''soAdiers
were the pupils in the practice
department of the state normal
school here, and the event was
their annual winter entertain
ment, drama Of early Dakota
history with Gen. Geo. A. Custer
and Capt. Grant Marsh, who
honored the cast by his pres
enoe, the central figures.
News concerning the play and
its characters early in the week
brought the doughty old captain
from his home in Bismarck to
the normal school campus to
witness the production. Almost
eighty years old, it was the first;
time Capt. Marsh had been on
campus and to the old pilot it
was of as much interest as his
presence lent interest to the
play. When he returned to his
home it was to await the open
ing of the Missouri river so he
could again ,ly his boat where
he had piled it for over half a
century while he became identi-
fled with so many stirring and
momentous historical events.
Perhaps Capt. Marsh is best
known as the pilot Of the steam
boat The Far West that in the
summer of 1876, ladened with
wounded soldiers, first. brought
the news of the Custer massa-
ere from the mouth Of the Little
Big Horn to Ft. Lincoln near
Bismarck, then the western ter
minous of the Northern Pacific
railroad, distance Of 1000 mil
es in the record time of fifty
four hours. 1t was from this
point that the tragedy of the
Sioux was flashed to the world.
. The drama as presented by the
pupils here this week, embodied
the more important events Of
the Custer campaign from the
time the 7th cavalry left Yank-
ton until Curley, the Grow scout,
made his escape from carnage
and reported to Capt. Marsh in
his own crude way the fate of
the Custer army. The dramatiza,
ton of the Custer Campaign,
was made by Misses Susan. w..
Norton and Margaret G. Burns,
critic teachers in the practice de-
partment of the normal school,
who have been identified with
the dramatization of "Sakaka-
wea, the Bird Woman" and
"TMe Last Of the Mandans" also
presented here during the past
two years.

his bat has this appearance of extreme facility-to such degree, indeed, that his style seems almost casual and care less. The distinctive trait of his cricket is an electric quickness both in the con- "eption and execution of his strokes. Thereby is he able to do such things that a slower eye and wrist dare not attempt. In making the ordinary strokes he differs from the run of bats men in that he judges the flight of the ball about half as soon again and can therefore shape for his stroke more readily and with more certainty. At the same time he need not, owing to his marvellous rapidity of movement, allow himself as much margin for error as others find necessary, and 1t IS this Quickness that enables him to take even upon the fastest wickets, the most unheard of liberties without fatal re- suits.
 Who, for instance, but Ranji can hit across a fast straight ball without either being bowled or making an ap palling miss hit? Yet Ranji finds not the slightest difficulty in doing so. This hook is perhaps his most notable stroke. He has a miraculous knack of timing the ball accurately from the pitch and Hicks it round to the onside with sup pie yet terrific power. He meets the slightly overpitched delivery with a similar hit reaching right out so as to clip the ball before it pitches. There never has been a greater master of cut ting and leg play. In cutting his faCul- ty for quick and accurate timing gives him the power of varying and placing his stroke, as well of making it with force and precision.
 His leg strokes are sometimes called 'glanCes but they are really wrist strokes, the ball does not merely hit the bat, but it is turned aside with like forcing movement. His forward play is somewhat unorthodoX, as he walks out to the ball as he hits, but it is none the less strong and safe. He can drive finely in all directions when in the mood; indeed, at his best, he can use every stroke in the game.
 He is a beautiful fielder in any posi- tion. He eXcels at point or in the slips, where there is scope for his quiCkness, but as he can pick up a ball very clean, catch anything and throw well, he is almost equally good as extra cover or in the long field. His bowling is somewhat underrated. He rarely goes on without getting a wicket or having a catch missed off him. He bowls me dium pace, keeps a good length, makes the ball break from the off and has plenty of resource He is the keenest of cricketers. very observant, and is also a first rate judge of the game"

the cabbage fields are full of hares and rabbits. These hares sometimes cross our own private meadow. Immediately both trenches are all afame. Long sounding volleys follow the poor little beast. He makes a graceful somer- sault throws his ears up in the air and falls a martyr to Europe's militarism.
 Then comes the time to divide our spells. If Brer Rabbit expires on the German half the custom of the country prescribes that a German may leave the trenches and get the prize. That day the German cave dwelers eat 'hasenbraten.' If the animal dies on our side we delegate a man to fetch him and we eat Jievre farrell But if he should die most inconsiderately right on the line then there is trouble We both rush for our meal while a terrific fire is opened, and We run the risk of being killed by friend as well as by enemy.
 The other day we did not know on which side of the line hare had died
