DISCHARGED AGENT
VISITS FLATHEAD


mer superintendent Of the Black
feet reservation, but recently
discharged by Commissioner
Sells, visited last week with
Major Morgan at the Flatheac
agency near Dixon. Major Nor.
gan and Major McFatridge arc
old friends and the latter's re.
cent removal gave him the op.
portl1nity of visiting his ole
friend.
The removal of Major McFat.
ridge has caused considerable
commotion in Washington and
among Indian officials all over the
country. Of the matter the
Philadelphia North American
has the following to say:
Charges that politics has en-
tered into the administration of
the Indian bureau, with the
usual blighting effect, promise
to make that branch of the pub
lie service the subject of a
scorching fight in the next ses-
sion of congress.
Indian Commissioner Sells
enemies are lining up in an effort
to prove that he has acted arbi-
trarily in dismissing employees
from the service in an effort to
excuse himself from censure for
the condition of Indians in reser-
vations.
Commissioner Sells and his
friends assert that he has not
acted arbitrarily, but only after
the fullest investigation, and
that every dismissal has been for
the good of the Indians and the
service in general.
The fight will undoubtedly CEN
ter around the discharge of Maj
or A. 3. McF'atridge from the
superintendency of the Blackfeet
agency in Montana. McFatridge,
after II years service among the
Indians, with an untarnished
record of steady promotions from
school teacher to superintendent
OF several of the largest reser-
vations in the country, was re-
Gently dismissed from the service
by Mr.. Sells on charges of gross
According to McFatridge, he
had no opportunity to prove the
charges false, a thing which he
claims he could easily have done
if he had not been prejudged by
the commissioner.
Sells, on the other hand, as
serts that McFatridge was given
the fullest hearing possible,
more than the law allows, in
fact, and that he failed to make
good. He was discharged, ac-
to the commissioner, be-
cause he was incompetent.

VIII Credit Those Who Raise Hogs
and Supplies.

Down at his big shop on Jackson
street, next the Sheffield building, J.
A. Brown, the artistic blacksmith, is
keeping business humming, despite
the European situation, and the high
price of wheat. He has just equip
ped his plant with new tools and is
better prepared than ever before to
do high class work. Mr.. Brown has
not placed the sign Spot Cash Only"
over his door, nor does he intend do
ing such inhumane thing. He has
been told that cash is a trifle scarce
at this date, and, while he would like
to do all the cash business possible, he
is going to extend credit to thrifty peo-
pie who raise hog and hominy," at
home, for he we'll knows such good
folks will pay their debts in the fall.
Let Brown do your blacksmith work,
or put new spring dress of paint on

this morning Of his appointment at the

AMER|CUS MAN
To SHARE IN A
$4,000 REWARD
CAPT. HI. E. HURLEY LEARNS
THAT ONE OF THREE CROOKS
CAPTURED BY HIM is WANTED
IN ARKANSAS AND THAT BIG RE.
WARD is OUT FOR HIM

Captain H. E. Hurley, the popular
Seaboard conductor, has been notified
that he is to participate in the division
of a $4,000 reward offered by the state
of Arkansas for the capture of a
clever bank burglar. The notice comes
as surprise to the genial Seaboard
conductor, but investigation proves
that it is far from an April first joke.
Captain Hurley has just returned
from Turcaloosa, Alabama, where he
was summoned to appear as a witness
against three alleged train robbers.
The three men on trial, Moore, Marks
and Williams, were turned over to the
police of Montgomery by Capt. Hurley
as suspicious characters shortly after
the robbery of the A. G. S. train near
Bibbville, Ala, on September Is, 1918.
These men at that time were given two
years for carrying explosives and last
week had 25 years added to their SEN
tence for the Alabama train robbery.
1t was while attending the trial of
the three men in Tuscaloosa that Mr..

Hurley became aware of his good luck
A deputy sheriff from Arkansas who
came to look at the prisoners inform
ed him that Marks was wanted m Ar
kansas for $4,000 theft and that
there was a reward of $4,000 out for
him. This sum will be divided among
five men who effected the capture OF
the crooks, and the Americas conduc-
tor will come in for his fifth, $1,000.

PEACE SION ID BE RESTORED SAYS
 CARNEGIE

NEW YORK, Nov. 26. - Andrew Carnegie celebrated his eightieth birthday yesterday by remaining quietly at his home, where he re- ceived few close personal friends, who remained to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with him. MT. Carnegie told his friends that the great mission of his life was to further the cause of international peace, and affirmed that he was not downhearted because of the immense tragedy that was de- vastating Europe. He confidently predicted that peace would soon be restored in Europe and that it would be upon lasting basis, whereby the armaments of the nations would be restricted and international jealousy largely done away with.
