During the last few years a
rapid change has taken place in
the factors which make up the In
dian problem of the United States
Indian government. There are no
longer any war path Indians, and
for the main part the elders of the
red race have forsaken the old
ways and are attempting to follow
the paths of the whites. It is hard
for the old men and the old women
to give over the habits of q life
time and to rid themselves of in
herited tendencies. The older In
dians, however, are dying. as all
people must die, and the problem,
therefore, concerns itself largely
today with the young.
The effort of the bureau of In
dian affairs is to provide for the
proper education of the children
and the grandchildren of warriors
and hunters who only few years
ago we're free to roam the woods,
the prairies and the mountains,
and to whom restraint was un-
known. The Indian problem will
solve itself as the elders pass away
provided the United States gov
ernment does it's full duty by the
children of the people whose land
it usurped and whose right gener-
ally trampled into the ground

Aged Indian, Friend OF
The White Man,
Passes Away.

Aberdeen, S. Dan important
page in the history of the Northt-
west pioneer days was turned re-
Gently when JOB Ninayppte, an
Indian chief and government
scout, always friend of the white
man, died at Big Coulee, South of
Peever, S. D., of old age.
Born at Mendoza, how long ago
he never would tell, Jobs life
story was that of the Sioux Indian,
pushed back from post to post un-
til finally corraled on the reserva-
tion under government agents.
His quaint personal reminiscent
ces, which he never tired of tell
ing, would have furnished valu'
able acquisitions to the history
annals of Minnesota and the Da-
kOtas.
At the beginning of the out
break of 1862, job was out on the
war-path against the Chippewas.
Upon reaching the village which
marks the present location of Big
Stone, s. D., he heard of the up
rising and hurried to the Yellow
Medicine agency in Minnesota,
where he found the Indians in
their war paint about to massacre
the whites and mixed-bloods be-
cause they would not assist in the
war. Quietly, by night, JOB
smuggled these whites and breeds
from the cabin in which they
we're held prisoners, and hurried
them down the river in the boards
he had collected.
A few days later Little Grow
and his band of Sioux reached the
agency and went into a council of
war over the fate of other mixed
bloods who had come into the
camp, but who refused to partici-
pate in the uprising. Hearing that
the willy chief and his friends were
planning to massacre these breeds,
Job put his gun under bis blanket
and stalked to the council meeting.
Entering Little Crows tepee,
Job demanded if it was true that
he proposed killing the mixed
bloods. Little Crow denied that
this was his intention. However,
Job went back to his tepee, threw
up breastworks that night, gather
ed the breeds behind them, and
stood guard himself all night.
The next morning Little Grow
and his band left, and a couple of
days later the entire band surrend-
cred to General Sibley.
1t is generally known that 38
Indians we're tried and hung for
participation in the uprising, but
few people know that over 400
warriors we're imprisoned at Man
kato, Minn., for four years.
Among these were Job and his
band.-Ex.

Each citizen wants to live as fully
as his surroundings permit. This be-
ing the desire of all, it results that all,
exercising joint control, are interested
in seeing that, While each does not
suffer from breach of the relations be-
tween acts and ends in his own per
son., he shall not break those relations
in the persons of others. The incorpo-
rated mass of citizens has to maintain
the condition under which each may
gain the fullest life compatible with
the fullest lives of fellow citizens. To
maintain intact the conditions under
which life may be carried on is a bust
ness fundamentally distinct from the
business of interfering with the carry
ing on of the life itself, either by help
ing the individual or directing him or
restraining him.-Herbert Spencer.

LOC0MOBILE GO. MAY CONSTRUCT
 PLANT ADDITION
Business Grows So Rapidly That More Facilities Will
 Be Required.

The Locomobile plant of this city may soon be enlarged greatly to fla cilitate the turning out of large quan- titles of orders that are now tentative ly offered for American and foreign sale. Officers of the company de- clare today that the capacity of the plant is taxed to it's utmost with a continually growing truck business.
 The fame of the Riker truck, which has made such rapid strides following the wonderful showing in Europe and under use of the American forces in Mexico has spread rapidly.
 It became known today. that be- sides the first thousand trucks manu- facturer for the British division of the Allied army, large Russian orders for trucks, supplementing the initial or der for the touring car type, have already been shipped with the proba- bility that new orders will soon be clinched.
 With the growing business in Ameri- ca which has increased to a stupen- dous extent, the necessity for the en- 1argement of the local plant has al- ready arisen for discussion among the officers with the result that definite plans will soon be made. l

 If the public utilities commission rants permission for inc spur track, he Hunters & Havena Co, will use this method of transporting freight The track will be so curved that a switch engine couldn't be operated properly on it,
 The track is planned to start from the New Haven lines to the proposed storeheuse and yard of the Hunter & Ravens Co.,, at the foot of South avenue. At a hearing in the council chamber Sept. 5, permission was granted by the city. The utilities com mission will hold a hearing at the Capitol at 2:30 Oct. g.

CROSSING ISN'T PUBLIC, |NS| 1878
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
City Can't Prove the Hall Street Section Is High
 way, They Testify.

The railroad company representa- tives declared this morning that the Hall street crossing is a private one and the city of Bridgeport has not been able to furnish proof yet that the crossing is public. That was the situ- ation this morning after Coroner Phe- Ian had finished taking the testimony of witnesses on both sides. He will continue his investigation tomorrow morning into the causes of the Berk- shire division wreck.
 Chief Engineer Maxwell of the rail- road forces declares he will be present tomorrow ready to show that the city has no right to use the crossing. He says the company has papers to prove the property is owned by the railroad. Division Engineer Paul Sterling, Freight Agent James Cosgrif and Di- vision Superintendent Lou Bristol were all witnesses today. They gave testimony about the roads claim to the crossing but Coroner Phelan said he would not reveal until later the exact nature of their statements.
 Assistant City Engineer Frank Black was also a witness. He wasn't sure about the city's title to the cross ing but it was said that representa- tives would be on hand tomorrow pre- pared to present the city's claims.
 The coroner said he was not trying to settle the question of legal title. "I would like to have the city and the railroad company come to an under standing of some kind" he declared. eff the crossing is public the city can go before the public utilities com missioners and ask for a fiagman.

STEAM ROLLER,
 UNCONTROLLED,
 CAUSES FRIGHT
Grazed Trolley, Runs on and Backs Off Lawn and Fin
 ally Hits Pole.

Manned by an inexperienced en- gineer a monster steam roller em- ployed in rolling pavement between avenue near Parrott avenue ran away this mo- ming, narrowly missing trolley cars, automobiles, and mounting side walks and lawns in it's mad career. It was finally stopped by its impact with the joint obstruction of a curb stone and telegraph pole and the fright ened operative released to the police, who had been called from headquar- ters by frightened residents under the belief that madman was in control of the machine. L The incident began at about o'clock this morning when a foreman for Charles E. Eisenman in charge of the work ordered an inexperienced Italian speaking man to bring the roller down the street.
 Throwing out the shrott1e he at- tempted to guide .e machine, as it grazed by a Park avenue bound troll ley car. But for its speed the car would have been pushed from the tracks In a mad effort to get the ma- chine under control the operator sent it across the street, upon the sidewalk and thence onto the lawn of a resi- dence Stopping within a few feet of the porch, a reverse motion sent the back end of the machine against an automobile standing by the curb. The automobile was little damaged and the machine kept on directing across the street where on the south side it be- gan a zigzag course down the side walk throwing pedestrians almost into panic.
 By this time Lieut., Charles Wheeler and squad of police had been sum- noned to the scene and arrived in time to see the big roller jam into a telegraph pole, where the operator ac- cidentally shut off the steam power.
 Explanations were soon made and upon being convinced that the man was not denented, the police made no arrest. The neighborhood felt great relief at the ending.
