TWENTY YEARS
AGO TODAY
Items Taken from the Daily
Leader Files

Harry Munro departed by the
north train for Minneapolis on bust
ness.
The streets were thronged today
with farmers. the rain ~interrupting
farm work.
A farmers team ran away from
the mill about IL o'clock this morn
ing and came to a sudden halt in the
rear of Syndicate block, without do
ing other damage than i~nterrupting
curbstone political discussions for a
few minutes.
Discussing the building of an cleo
trio light plant with business men to-
day, the sentiment seems strongly in
favor of the matter, but the ques-
ton of raising money for the purpose
is the great sticker. The city is now
bonded to the limit-$35, G00-and
in addition to this there is a floating
indebtedness of about $4,000. This
is exclusive of school Indebtedness
for school purposes which of course
is separate from city affairs. 1t is
estimated that between $4,000 and
$4,000 would be necessary for the
electric light improvement. Next
Monday evenings meeting will prob
ably develop something definite.

Mitchell. Aug. 21.-C. p. Sayles,

one mile north of town, unearthed
the skeleton of an Indian who had
been buried in an unusual
A fake grave had been dug to a
depth of seven feet and the remains
placed in a side pocket in a sitting
posture, supposedly as a protection
against despoilers. Much Importance
is attached to the discovery as the
probable revelation of a hitherto I'M
known secret of Indian burial. The
skeleton is only one of many that
have been uncovered among the
mounds of the famous Indian bury
ing ground which extends for a mile
and a half along the bluffs of Fire
steel creek, but other skeletons are
seldom more than two feet below the
surface. 1t is probable that this
painstaking method of burial was ac-
corded to only the leaders of the
tribe.

Sioux Indian Cares for Eight Acres

Pierre. Aug. 21.-The planting
and c%ultivating of eight acres of corr
with no agricultural implement eN-
cept a garden hoe would be a task
which would make the average man
want to quit the job in short order.
But that is the record of a 90-year-
old woma i'm Roberts county. who is
marketing green corn from such a
field. The fact that she is a Sioux
Indian probably had something to do
with her unflagging efforts to secure
a crop by this means of cultivation.
The woman is Mrs. Lydia Shorfoot,
one of the old squaws of the Sisseton
reservation, who hoed corn with bone
hoes long before the time of the com
ing of the whites to this part of the
