rnightfest living Sioux chieftain r. al
though too old To be admitted in the
fighting forces. is also acting his part,
as he has been appointed vice presi-
dent of Sioux county's Red Cross
chapter. Although in feeble health,
the venerable chief ha s pledged the
Sioux to assist in the work Of the Red
Cross and his aid will be a valuable
asset, 1t was said, as he has not lost
his power W the tribesmen n, among
whom his word has been law for half
a century.

u. g. A.. and Capt. Leonard Hughes,
Fort Logan, Colo, who have been in
troops into federal service, together
with Captain "A. B. WEIGH of the Ma
tional Guard. visited the old chief at
his home nea Fort Yates. The visit
was no novelty, however, for the aged
warrior, as he has enjoyed visits from
| Sherman. Sheridan, Grant, Logan,
Custer and many other great generals
| Of his time.
Captain WEIGH is an adopted son
of the tribe and several Sioux are in
his company. Among them are Sid
Mclaughlin, grandson of Major Mo-
Laughlin, grown gray in the Indian
service; Bear Shots. a son of Old Bear

Fear Of Congestion Reason
For Cutting Down Of

Bismarck, N. D.,sAug. 29.-But five
per cent of North Dakotas quota will
be moved to Des Moines on September

morning upon the arrival at the CAPT
tol Of L. p. Gellerman, special repre-
sentative Of the American Railway
association In charge of transpor-
tation of the draft army. The origin
al plan to nov 80 per cent Septem-
Der s is abandoned because Of fears
that the movement OF SO large a body
of the draft army AT a. time when the
mobilization Of the National Guard
probably will be in progress will re-
suit, in serious congestion. North Da-
kota, therefore, will send q very small
contingent, approximately $50 men,

instead of six times hat number, as
originally announced. This advance

arranging company quarters and q r
for other preliminaries assigned. in
the National Guard to one company
from each regiment selected to go
ahead. ! Mr.. Gellerman today is con-
ferring with military men here with
a view to planning every detail Of the
transportation OF North Dakota's
draft army, which will mean the
movement Of almost 5000 men.
The first thing asked Of the North
dakota trooper when he reaches Des
Moines will be q bath. Then he will
have his physical examination, his
vaccination. for typhoid, paratyphoid
and smallpox. II any minor physical
deficiencies are found, there will be

DOUGLAS-PKOENIX
 SLEEPING GAR IS
 NOW IN SERVICE

DOUGLAS. May 17.-The Plum stead sleeping car. piloted by L. J. Brockman, the Pullman porter in charge, rolled into Douglas this morn ing for the first time. The car, when it left Phoenix, had five passengers, three of whom were deposited at Os- borne and the remaining two at Douglas. Brockman, the porter in charge of the car, thinks that it will be very popular just as soon as the people get acquainted with it. Last night he picked up two passengers at Maricopa Junction. The car leaves Phoenix at 7:3O D. m. and is due in Douglas at 7:35 a. m. It leaves Douglas at S:45 p. m. and is due in Phoenix at 6:S5 a. m.
 For many years the Southern Pa cifc has been carrying a Pullman be- tween Phoenix and Tucson. Now this car is brought on to Douglas instead of being switched into the yards when it reaches Tucson. The car will now accumulate the citizens of Douglas and Bisbee as well as the citizens of Tucson only. Reserverations in this car will be available to all three cities.

That the Mare Island naval train. ing station is crowded with recruits but that room is being made and that Bisbee's contribution has been good, the individuals making good, is the tenor of letter received in the city who is there.
 Alger Harper is now in the petty officers school, studying to become a pay clerk, having been rated voc man, third class He will take the second class examination in the near future.
 Abner Dodson started at the very bottom, as apprentice seaman but en- tered the signal corps and finally, by application and hard work, passed the grade of third class quartermas- ter. He, also, will take the second class examination in a short time.
 Many Bisbee boys have arrived at the station in the last few weeks. Most of them are rated, according to the writer of the letter. as second class seamen.

The first of series of benefit enter

At a meeting yesterday William Torkin was elected chairman of arrangements for the af- fair and immediately started making plans that will culminate in the dance proving one of the most enjoyable of the season The Ladies' Aid of Warren will furnish refreshments and the Cop per Queen band will provide the music.
 To further advance the status of the local Red Cross chapter, Arthur Not man, A. B. Richardson, Jesse Yoakum and Mrs. F. c. Bledsoe will attend the state Red Cross convention, which will be held in Tucson Monday and Tues day. Definite information as to just what part the Red Cross chapter here is to take in the war will probably be fully determined at the convention and the local members who attend ar eX- pected to bring back many ideas that will greatly assist the Bisbee chapter in its membership campaign, which is to be launched in a few days. ;,
 In addition to these plans, the local chapter is making arrangements to ob- serve Red Cross Day." on May 30, Me morial Day. Appropriate exercises, of speeches. recitations and music, will be arranged and the pro gram will probably be presented at the city park.
