James Cochrane had the misfor-
une to cut his foot quite badly one
day last week while chopping kind
ling wood. Our own experiences in
q similar accident is that q man
who deliberately deprivesa q woman
of her legitimate work is likely to
receive his just deserts in some such
catastrophy. No good Indian
would do it-and we're not very
strong on woman's rights either.
We understand that some at
tempt is being made in cetrtain
quarters to charge Milbank parties
with the placing Of the government
road where it was located on the
line of the Yellowstone trail be-
tween Milbank and Big Stone. The
fact is that the Milbank people in
terested were desirious Of having
the location of the government road
~ n IL ~
would have been better for the city
by far as a trade puller, but the
federal officer in charge insisted on
having it on the ma | route line az
the law directs. A suggestion was
made that the rural route could be
changed SO as to get aid Tor the
north and south road, but the gov-
ernment representative asserted
that this could not be done in time
