TO RANCHERS
STRAY BUFFALOES BOTHER
SOME TO SETTLERS.

Pierre, Jan. 2.-The owners of the
buffalo herd north of Fort Pierre
have trouble occasionally to get out
and round up or kill straying mem
bers of the herd who break bouras
and make life interesting and more
or less dangerous for ranchers, as a
young buffalo bull who is out rang
ing on his own hook, rather resents
any efforts to hamper his activities
along any line he ees fit to carry
them out. Just at present there are
scattered members of the herd at sew
eral different points in the country
west of the river. and one young bull
put on a small sized stunt at train
stopping with the ferry train between
here and Fort Pierre. The animal
got onto the track just west of the
bridge across the Missouri and ran
ahead of the train until the bridge
was reached, when he turned and
stood his ground. 1t took some nerve
on the part of the train crew to tao
kle the belligerent bull, but they
managed to get him off the track by
batting him until In his plunges he
went over the embankment at the ap-
proach to the bridge and rolled to the
bottom. leaving a clear track.

JOHNSON COMPLAINS
CONGRESSMAN - SOLDIER PRO-
TESTS TO THE WAR DE-
PARTMENT.

jail.
Royal C. Johnson, of the Second
South Dakota district, has wired the
war department at Washington and
Julius Kahn, ranking republican
member of the house military com
mittee, demanding immediate inves-
tigation of the treatment given sick
and wounded soldiers. He quotes a
long list of soldiers. officers and pri-
Yates who have sent him details of
alleged mistreatment. His charges
pertain particularly to convalscent Of
ficers returning from overseas, who,
he charges, were deliberately insult
ed by Maj. Gilbert upon their arrival
in New York harbor and were treat
ed as unruly children rather than as
wounded officers.
Congressman Royal c. Johnson,
who recently returned from France,
where he had served in the United
States army as a first lieutenant I'M
til severely wounded in battle, has
made a number of informal addresses
since his return to Aberdeen a week
ago, including m to the members of
the Commercial club, and one to the
students at the Northern Normal and
Industrial school. He is scheduled
for a talk before the Rotary club a
little later on, when the members of
that organization will tender him a
banquet.
Lieut.. Johnson refuses to talk
about his own part in the war, devot-
ing his remarks largely to problems
connected with the welfare of the sol
diers who come home from France,
The representative is not inclined to
worry over the future welfare of the
soldier. THE problem of caring for
the returned soldiers is not n OF
chimerical plans by utopian dream
ers," he told the Commercial club.
"Why not let this task rest until the
men get back and can have a voice
In directing the matter-until they
can decide what they want"
He asserted that the soldiers would
return home cleaner morally and
stronger physically than when they
went away, but essentially, beyond
the experience they had acquired and
the physical training given them
they would be much the same men as
when they went over that a man who
makes a good soldier in war would be
successful in peace times. and a poor
soldier Is apt to prove a failure In
civilian life.
The congressman pointed out some
serious defects in American admins.
trative work, mentioning as an in.
stance that although millions of dol
lars worth of American grenades
were manufactured and shipped t
France, none was ever used. They
were worthless, and a fatal defect IL
