Hearing in the matter of the ap-
pointment Of administrator of the
estate Of Baptist Pierre, deceased,
was held before County Judge
Beede at the court house Tuesday.
Mrs. Pierre, the petitioner, through
her attorney Edw. S. johnson asked
that Louis Endres be named admi-
strator, and the petition granted.
The estate is valued at s3O,OOO.00
and the court fixed the bond of Mr..
Endres. the administrator, at
SIS, 100000. 1t is the first estate Of
a Citizen Indian'' to be probated
in Sioux county, and Judge Beede
in a lengthy memorandum laid
down the fundamental principles,
which in his view, ought to guide
the court in probating the estates Of
Citizen Indians"
The memorandum by the court
was received too late for publication
this week, but will appear in the
next issue Of the Pioneer.

Because of uncertain communica-

state department officials were un-
able to decide whether the dispatch
from Berlin was in answer to it's last
request or the previous one.

Mr.. kItch is expected to arrive

to each district on the reservation.
James b. Kitch, the new supcrin.
tcndcnt, is we'll known at Fort

he was called to Washington to re-
cclvc the appointment OF supcrin-
trndcnt.
Mr.. kitch has been in the In.

during which his work has taken
him to a number OF reservations.
He has the necessary experience
and possesses every qualification to
make a first-class superintendent.
/ The appointment Of Mr.. Kitch to
the supcrintcndcncy is popular
one and will meet with the approval
OF the Indians as we'll as the white
residents OF the reservation country.

that stock over there has wintered

ND. Districts Farmers
Institutes This Week
Indian Formers Institute. Held in Fort
Ystes, Porcupine and Cannonball
Districts During Wssk

Prof, W. R. Porter Of Fargo, one
of the instructors Of the North Da-
koto Agricultural College, spoke at
the Agency Boarding school at Fort
Yates Monday afternoon Mt the
Agency district farmers institute,
All the Indian employees OF the dis
trict and those Indians interested in
better farming methods were i'm at
tendance.
Tuesday Prof. Porter held an in
stitute at porcupine, and yesterday
at Cannonball. Similar meetings
have been held in the reservation
districts in South Dakota at which
instructors from the South Dakota
Agricultural College at Broo kings
spoke.
These institutes arc for the DUR
pose of spreading information about
better agricultural methods and
livestock, and are conducted in the
same manner in which institutes
are held throughout the state among
the white farmers, und much good
will no doubt result thercfrom.
The Standing Rock Indians both
in North and South Dakota, are
making substantial progress along
agricultural lines considering that
it Is only during the last few years
that they have taken up the cult
vation OF their land and the raising
Of cereals seriously.
Until the Indians were individual
ly allotted, their farming-if it
could be called that-was confined
to the cultivation of small patches
OF squaw corn and a few vegetables.
Now many Indians have large
fields under cultivation, a few hav-
ing the last couple of years farmcd
several hundred acres, and they
are meeting with the same success
as the average white farmer.

Prevent Blackles

Blackleg, according to reliable sta
tistics, cause one-third Of the yearly
cattle loss in North Dakota. This
is great annual loss for a disease
that is preventable. Most stockmen
know that it is preventable by vac.
cination, and about half of them
use the right vaccine. There is a
government vaccine which is to be
preferred over the commercial vac
cines.
Commercial vaccines are frequent
ly all right. The pills are easy to
inject and the price is reasonable.
A great many reports are received
from reliable ranchers each year
that blackleg has appeared in their
herds after vaccination with pills,
and that they could only stop the
losses by vaccination with govern
ment vaccine.
There is no reason that this type
Of vaccine should be faulty, but the
fact remains that the stockman is
taking a long chance by using it..
The government vaccine is powder
and is given as a liquid, mixed with
water, by a hypodermic syringe. 1t
is sent free Of charge by writing to
the U. S. Bureau of Animal Indus
try, Washington, D. G. There is
no good reason for loosing calves
through blackleg when this vaccine
is free for the asking.

Remaining State Militia
On Border Withdrawn
About $4,000 Men are Effected BY
War Department Decree, Leaving
Regulars Only on Border

Washington, Feb. 20. - Coincident
with the reopening Of the American
embassy in Mexico the big army Of
national guardsmen which was sent
to the border seven months ago to
stop bandit activities will be in pro.
cess of dissolution.
Orders have been issued by the war
department directing General Funston
to begin the immediate rehabilitation
OF all the guard units remaining in
border camps and it is expected that
the last troop train will be on it's way
north by March I.
General Funston still will have on
the border nearly $4,000 troops, all of
the regular army, disposed along the
line from Brownsville, Tex, to Yuma.
Ariz., on plans worked out by the gen.
eral staff.
The command includes all troops
who were iii Mexico under General
pershing and their distribution was
carried out under the direction of Gen
eral Eben Swift, who was with the
Pershing expedition. General Pershing
will remain at Ell Paso, where he is
commanding a division.
Policy Long Settled.
Secretary Baker emphasized that
the withdrawal OF the state troops is
In no way connected with the crisis
with Germany, but carries out a pol.
fey determined On long ago by the
administration. The order was issued
after General Funston had reported
he felt he had enough men to meet
any border exigencies that might
arise.
Many guard units already had been
ordered home during the past few
weeks and the number of guardsmen
remaining and to be demobilized is
about $4,000.
Administration officials place entire
confidence i'll General Funston's opin
ion that the force of regulars will be
sufficient.
They are understood to have been
convinced by the reports of special
observers for the state department
and the army that while it may be
possible for Villa and Zapata follow
ers to commit minor depredations in
the sparsely settled regions west of
Ell Paso there is little possibility of a
recurrence of raids in the Lower Rio
Grande country.

Alleged Morton County
Horsethief Is Arrested
Harry Corbit Of Fort Rice, Wanted for
Horsestealins in Morton County,
Arrested Here Monday

Harry Corbit of Fort Rice, was
arrested at Fort Yates Monday by
the Indian Police on the charge Of
stealing a horse and saddle in Nor
ton county. A. G. Wells of Cam
nonball, was notified recently by
Sheriff Olson Of Mandan, Of the
charge and when in Fort Yates
Monday located Corbit who had
been working in one of the camps
Of the Stiles Cattle Company for a
few days.
The saddle was stolen from b, +.
Wead of Fort Rice, but who the
owner Of the horse is was not known
by Mr.. Wells who took Corbit to
Cannonball Tuesday where de-
putty from the sheriff's office in
Morton county was on hand to take
him to Mandan.
1t is reported that Corbit has been
mixed up in several horse stealing
affairs and has been associating
with the Coture brothers. George
Coture was convicted at the recent
term of district court in Mandan on a
horse stealing charge and is now
serving two year sentence in the
penitentiary at Bismarck. His
brother Joseph Coture who was ar
rested on similar charge last fall
is at liberty under a $500 bond
awaiting action of the Federal grand
jury at the term Of U. S. court to
be held at Bismarck in the near
future.
Recently Coture made q trip to
Mobridge accompanied by Corbit,
and his present whereabouts is un-
known. Mr.. Wells, however, states
that there are number of other
charges pending against him for
horse stealing in Morton county
and that he will be re-arrested ON a
charge under the state law as soon
as located.
Mr.. Wells was responsible for the
arrest Of the two brothers last fall,
and has considerable new evidence
against both Of them. The Cotures
live between Cannonball and Fort
Rice and have been suspected OF
horse rustling for long time.
