Wanted--A "Shover"

Gus Hokanson's COW has been
spending a vacation on the Reinhart
farm south of town until yesterday
when Gus went down to bring her
home. He took John Turner along
for chauffeur, that is, John showed
when the COW, who was evidently
much pleased with the environment
she was leaving, showed inclination
against being led to town at the end
of a rope. After some difficulty
they reached the pool hall, where
they tied the COW outside, while
they went in to get a lunch. While
satisfying their appetites after the
long walk the COW leisurely chewed
the rope and when last seen was
heading south for the Reinhart
farmstead. Gus will repeat the
trip today-providing he can find
another shower"

Old Depreciation Claim
46 Years Old Brought
John B. Dillon Files Claim for Depre
dations by Hostile Sioux Indians
Over Forty Years Ago

An inquiry received at the Fort
Yates Indian Agency this week from
a claim attorney in Washington,
will recall to some of the old timers
incidents Of the stirring days during
the early Seventies when the Stand
ing Rock Agency was located at the
mouth of Grand river, short dis
tance from where the Milwaukee
railroad bridge crosses the Missouri
river at Mobridge.
John B. Dillon of Bellevue, Neb-
raska, has filed an Indian depre-
dation claim to recover the value of
four mules captured from him by a
band of maurauding Indians in Oc-
tober 1871. while he was cutting
hay under a government contract
for the Standing Rock Agency, on
the east side of the Missouri river,
across from the mouth of the Grand
river.
Mr.. Dillon has also another claim
for the value of one span of mules,
wagon, harness and four Winchester
rifles, captured from a wagon train
in chargelof himself and John Har-
rison on the Black Hill's trail in
1876. They were on their way to
Pierre when attacked by party Of
18 Lower sBruele Indians under Lit
tie Log, asub-chief. This attack
took place at the mouth of the Bad
river, and in the skirmish three
men with wagon train were killed.
Mr.. Dillon, who is we'll known to
number of the old surviving pio-
neers, names John Bruiguire as
witness in support Of the first claim
and the inquiry was for the purpose
of locating him. John Bruiguire is
dead, however, but his brother Sam
Bruiguire of Mclaughlin, S D.,
happened to be at Fort Yates
when the letter was received, and
says he was present when the at
tack occurred and remembers the
incident very distinctly. He says
that Dillon bought one of the mule
teams from VIM. Halsey and every
thing happened as alleged.

The above shows that there is a
mistaken idea abroad about the pro-
visions now being distributed among
the Standing Rock Indians. This is
no ration issue. The provisions
were bought comparatively with the
Indians own money which is held
in trust by the government, in
stead Of making a per-capita pay
ment to which they were entitled.
1t is simply a big cooperative buy
ing move. The government is the
biggest buyer in the country and
get better prices than the whole
sale jobbers. The government also
gets half freight rates, and the re-
suit is that every Indian-whether
needy or not-gets provisions that
if bought in the open retail mar
ket would cost $4,000, for s11 90.
Each Indian has an equal share in
the So, 100000 tribal fund, and
their share is now $11.OO less each.

The most famous scout of the
western plains passes to the Happy
Hunting Grounds.
Buffalo Bill visited Fort Yates,
then as now, Agency headquarters
of the Standing Rock reservation in
December 1890, when Sitting Bull
was for the last time occupying
much front space in the eastern
nevspapers,for he was conducting a
great ghost dance in his camp and
getting his people ready to be intro
dueed to the Messiah who was cx-
peted to come marching through
the sky from the west to wipe out
the white people and restore the
land to the Indians.
The famous scout had orders from
General Miles to bring Sitting Bull
in. With him were two other
scorts known as, White Beaysr and
Pony Express Boz, and iat Fort
Yates they were joined by Steve
Burke and M. e Urell who was
then known as Bully" Welch.
With a brave and gay farewell
the party left Fort Yates for Sitting
Bulls camp, about 40 miles south
west on the Grand river. Buffalo Bill
and party made camp that evening
on the banks of Little Oak creek,
Just north of where the town of Nc
Laughlin now stands. The next
morning, Louis Primeau came
along on horse back from J. NJ.
Carignan's school on the Grand
river. Quoth he:
"Why, Buffalo Bill, what in
nation are you doing here?"

"Going after Sitting Bull" elm

lighted fresh cigar.
"Well, you are too late, for Car
ignan is taking him over the Bull
Head trail. ''.Asst;s. ;.!sasal I oI;s son-

Buffalo Bill, and it has been said

the party felt tide Of eiel surge

heard that. -4-------A4~,-~>s'.-1t !
But Buffalo Bill was skcptical,
and he struck up the creek for the
other trail and saw there the fresh
tracks of a team and blackboard
leading toward Fort Yates. He fol-
lowed the tracks until he reached
Four Mile creek where he was met
by party Of U. S. Indian police and
escorted back to Fort Yates, for
Major Mclaughlin had succeeded
in convincing the authorities in
Washington that it would mean
the death of Buffalo Bill and his
party if they went near the hostile
Indian camp. As twas, Buffalo
Bill LEFT Fort Yates very dissapoint-

When Buffalo Bill
Was At Fort Yates
Unwritten History in Connection With Sitting

scence Over Scouts Death

ed man, as he claimed to his dying
day that he could have induced
Sitting Bull to come in had he beer
allowed to proceed.
1t turned out afterwards that
Primeau was partly right, for j. NJ
Carignan had gone into Fort Yates
that morning over the Bull Head
trail and it was his tracks on the
road, but he did not have the Sioux
chief.
Never again will the world know
just such character as Buffalo
Bill. When he was made the mould
was broken, and the mould was
the great Indian country through
which he secuted. The wild, free
environment was the making of him
and being an opportunist he went
gally on his way 1rohl puilaio
| hunter and scout to the honored
friend of kings.
As scout he wa, a great success
though is has often been said that
there were other scouts just as good
as he. This may be true, but they
did not have-th happy faculty Of
cashing in on their talents, or get
ting the most out Of their oppor-
tunities. They we're diffident men
who did not care much for fame,
So were soon forgotten about by
the great American public.
After the scouting days were over
Buffalo Bill entered the show bust
ness, and until 1916 was almost
constantly on the road with a large
wild west show under his manage
ment. He visited foreign countries
and was entertained by royalty who
greatly admired him.
The principal facts in the life OF
Buffalo Bill are that his real name
was William F Cody, and that he
was born on a farm in Scott County,
Iowa, February 26, 1915: AT tde
age of seven his father moved to
Kansas where his father became a
prominent man and was member
of the first legislature. In '57 Billy
started; across the plains with an
outfit THAI was taking bunch Of
cattle to the IS. troops who were
after the Mormons:- The Indians
the party, king three
and drove off the cattle, whe the
rest of the men made their w~
back to Fort kearney During the
retreat, Billy killed his first Indian,
whom he said was six feet long.
From this time on, Bill Cody was
atrapper, miner, hunter aud pony
express rider. At the outbreak OF
the civil war he enlisted and saw
service until its close. He killed
1890 buffalo, single handed, in Is
months, thus earning the title,
Buffalo Bill.
He died at Denver, Colorado,
January 10th, 1917.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK and BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old
Favorite Recipe of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly COM
pounded brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
strcaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
II at home, which is mussy and
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask az any
drug store for "Wycth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle Of this old time recipe i'm
proved by the addition Of other lngre-
dents for about so cents. Everybody
uses this preparation now, because no
one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair, az Il does Il so
naturally and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. II Is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.-Advt.
