Chief John Grass Adopted Pale
Face TO ShoD LoDe For Whites

John Grass, last great chieftain
and diplomat Of the Sioux Indians,
who died in the nome which the
government provided him at Fort
Yates, Tuesday, years ago wanted to
confer the highest honor on the
white men with whom he had coun-
seled and learned to love. g.
This honor for the whites was the
adoption by the aged chieftain OF
A. B. Welsh, formerly captain OF
Company A OF Bismarck, and who
later was connected with the Second
regiment of North Dakota. Last
spring when the aged diplomat of
the Sioux was so critically i'll his
government shanty and the medicine
man said death was only a short
time away, the army officer visited
the chief and remained at the bed
side for several days.
There had always existed some
doubt as to the exact age Of Chief
John Grass. Last spring reports
said he was 1903 years. but the rec

reservation are said to show hir

AFFAIRS IN EAST
ARE PECULIAR

,Mandan, N. D., May 15.-Lieuten-
ant R. J. Higgins Of the railroad
reserve corps, stationed at Hardin,
Manchuria, and a son-in-law of Mrs.
Katherine Ford Of Mandan, says in
letter received this week and I'M
der date Of March Is that the jap
anese control the railroad through
Korea and into Manchuria as far as
Changchun, and that in Manchuria
one-half mile on each side of the
track is patroled by Japs, OIL. from
Antung to Changchun. At Chang
chun the Russians have another
lease for their track through Man
c1luria, which is patrolled by Rus
slams.
''Twice during the Bolshevilzi
trouble, the Chinese who really own
Manchuria, took over the country to
preserve order and it surely needed
it," says Lieutenant Higgins. There
was the greatest difference at Chang
/ chun, one could hardly realize 1t. On
one side Of the station was a Japan
standard gauge, and on the other side
a Russian standard gauge, with a
three inch wider gauge track con-
trolled by the Chinese. Japans cars
were good; those belonging to the
Russians were bad. ....
"At Changchun the authorities have
a dead hole for criminals and others.
! Amy one sick or hands frozen, or beg
gars, are taken out there and shot.
This hole is open. They lead the
criminals up to it. shoot them and
| kick them in the hole. The coolies

the dogs finish the rest. could not

and conditions in this strange land.
There are Chinese freezing and
starving here every night, but they
starve the year around and no one
seems to think very much about 1t. A
| dead Chinaman was found the other
night just little distance from our
car. We went out around Hardin the
other night and it surely is live
town. Nobody is allowed downtown
any more at night now-only in the
daytime There are upwards OF $780,
| 900 people here.
THE Chinese are on guard all over
town, nearly on every corner, especi-
ally at night, as conditions are very
bad here-just like a new town out
| west, and of course everything gees.
The larger part Of the people are Chi
nese and all the work is done by them.
Some Of them are found most every
morning frozen where they have
either died or have been killed by
robbers
1.-THE town is also full Of Russian
soldiersS Chinese soldiers and all
kinds Of people. Things are very
exciting. all the time. The Chinese
troops rounded up a bunch Of beg
