Last Dakota Chief is
Reported Dying.

Bismarck, April 15.-In square
roomed shack given to MIN by the
government for his gallant rescue
of number of white women who
had been captured by his tribe,
Chief John Grass, known as the
"blggest man in Sioux history"
and last OF the Dakota chiefs, was
dying last night, according to in
formation received here from Fort
Yates.
Brave a warrior as Grass was
and invincible as a leader CT his
tribe, he loved peace and, as the
orator of the Sioux, figured in
many treaties with the whites
The most noted conference he
ever attended and the one which
attached significance to his name,
was with General Sherman, when
he participated in an amicable set
Element of dispute. .
With Chief Red Cloud, he was
the first chief justice appointed by
the government for the Sioux In
dians.
Grass is the foster father of
Captain Welch, A. company, Bis
marck.
One of his last gallant deeds was
the sacrificing of his own ponies
to purchase the liberty of white
women captured by his tribe. He
turned the women over safely at
Fort Randall.
For secret reasons his age is
withheld until after his death. Elk

Crowd Attends Mass
Meeting,

A large crowd assembled at the
White Earth Boarding School last
Saturday to participate in the
mass meeting called by Superin-
tendent Hinton in order to create
interest in recruiting for the army
and navy.
After the school band had rend
cred several patriotic selections
the meeting was opened by Supt.
Hinton in rather lengthy
address as to the purpose of the
meeting, the Indians duty to the
country, etc. He was followed
by Capt. Evans of the United
States Navy, who stated the pur-
pose of his visit here and that he
would be pleased to meet any
of the young men of the reserva-
ton who wished to enlist or who
desired any information on the
subject, at the dispensary in the
afternoon and up until Monday
morning. ....
Sergeant Hoffas, of the Mime
sofa National Guard, was present
and made brief address relative
to that body and the advantages
of enlisting now and not later on.
Rev. f. G.. Kah O Sed of this
village, and John w. Carl of
Mahnomen, each made a short
address when called upon and
their speech expressed the general
sentiment of the reservation
people.
Capt. Evans, we are informed,
succeeded in securing three or
four recruits for the navy, but
Sergeant Hoffas was notso success
full.
