pal court at Dayton to see that the

MOUNTS
Put Up A Great Exhibition
OF Speed
And Defeated Ashland By
Score OF AZ To 20

Whipped into submission by the
high-power speed of the Mounts In
the first half, Ashland presented q
weakened opposition during the re-
mainder of the basketball game at
the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday night and
the Mounts easily won, AZ to 20.
The Mounts put up an exhibition Of
speed rivalling that of the fast high
school team. Team work was more
noticeable than ever before this sea-
son and pass after pass with Bond on
the receiving end dazed and bewilder-
ed the Ashland players, themselves
excellent exponents Of the game.
Coach Jacks Of the high school has
been rendering some assistance to
the Mounts and his efforts were very
plainly shown In the snap and dash
exhibited Wednesday night,
Bond shot eight field goals in rap
Id succession and the Ashland team
was utterly demoralized. Ali of the
Mounts shifts and formations work
ed to perfection and it was only a
case of finally tossing the ball to
Bond. In all, he made 13 baskets the
first half. Guarding proved ineffect-
ual and the half ended 2S to for the
Mounts.
The second half was very rough
Fouls in abundance were called on
the Mounts, while there were several
alterations between the players of
the two teams, and once, when Mt.
Vernon rooter and the Ashland coach
met on the floor, following an ex-
change of words, the game looked as
if it might result in free.for-all. Ev-
erybody quieted down, however, and
the half ended peacefully.
Ashland possessed players with
shooting ability, but the splendid
guarding work of Jones, Porter and
Jacobs proved too much for them so
they were compelled to take chances
on shots from the center Of the floor.
Their team work, smashed in the
first half, never showed itself through
the game. Their strength recruited
with several Mansfield players, Ash
land had hoped to defeat the Mounts
Their desires failed.
The team work of the Mounts, their
! speed and the individual work of Art
Bond, who made 80 of his teams AZ
points, all come in for special com
mendation.

INDIANS SCRAP
OVER NEW CHIEF
PINE RIDGE RESERVATION STIR
RED UP OVER DEPOSITION
OF JACK RED CLOUD
FROM HEAD OF
TRIBE.

Sioux Fails, S. D-Advices from
the Pine Ridge Indian reservation
are to the effect that there has been
great excitement among the Siouy
CT that reservation during the past
teW days, this being due to the fact
that the tribal council, composed of
Indians from different sections of the
reservation, deposed Jack Red Cloud
from the position of tribal chief.
Jack Red Cloud is son of Red
CLOUD, the famous Sioux chief who
died a year or two ago, and who for
many years was looked upon as the
head of the entire Sioux nation. In
dams representing the different dis
tricts on the reservation now have
held an Indignation meeting at a
central point, at which the action
OF the tribal council was bitterly de-
nounced and the demand made that
Jack Red Cloud be reinstated as chief
OF that branch of the Sioux nation
which resides on the Pine Ridge re-
servation.
Serious trodble between the In
dams themselves is anticipated i'm this
event that the tribal council refuses
to rescind its action and reinstate
the deDosed chief.

SPEAKER FOR
LEGISL AZURE
SIN CANDIDATES LOOKING FOR
HONOR AT NEXT SESSION.
MCFARLAND is AFTER
CHAIR.

Pierre. s. D.-The contest for
speakership in the next legislative
session promises to call out some ex-
citement for the session, even though
there should be nothing else to start
things. With no one elected yet,
there are at least six candidate look
ing for the chief honor of the next
house, the list to date veing A. c..
Roberts of Day, U. G. johnson of
Sphinx, j. G.. Mcfarland of Coding-
ton, E. III. Withee of Turner, Lewis
Benson of Moody, and f. B. Patter-
son of Potter.
Of this list Roberts and Withee
have been members OF a number of
sessions and have both acted tenn
porarily as presiding officers of the
house at different times. Mcfarland
has been member for two sessions,
land has been one of the active mem
bers on the floor all the time when
he took a part in the debate on a
measure up. Patterson has been a
member of two sessions, and John
son and Benson, were new members
at the 1915 session.
While it is hardly likely that the
members will get up the nerve" to
repeal the primary act, and cnact
something along the lines of the old
Holman caucus act which preced I'd
the primary law first put into force
in the state. there is certainly a
strong sentiment for some such ac-
tion in the views expressed by voters
and the press of the state is any in
dication of real feeling in regard the
i primary system of making nomna-
tions.
One of the earliest advocates of
1 the primary system, Ex-Governor
! Andrew z. Lee, short time ago ex-
pressed his views decidedly on the
question, taking the position that
while he had advocated the prma1y
system for many years, he would
now welcome return to the conven-
tion system in part at least and put
} an end to the present farce in the
state; and along with him a num-
