Old Soldier Die.

Joe Marsh Of Fort Rice passed
away last week and was laid to rest
near his home where he and his
family have lived the past 30 years.
The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure, but as his health
had been poor the past few years,
his passing was expected.
Mr.. Marsh was one Of the pioneers
Of the slope country, one of the old
soldiers who served at old Fort
Rice just before 1t was abandoned.
The honorary pail bearers were
all old soldiers, John Leach and
VIM. Zahn Of Solen. NJ. D. Urell
of Shields, and Wesley Baker Of
Bismarck.
Members Of his family present at
the funeral were: Arthur Marsh,
Chris Marsh Of selfridge and Frank
Marsh Of Butte, Mont. with theil
families, Mrs. Frank Wells Of Nor.

E.nmons Co. Has Stock Assn.

E1nmons Co. Has Stock Assn.
According to the Emmons County
Republican, the stockmen of EN-
mons county, just across the river,
have formed a stock breeding associ-
alton. with better and purer stock
as its object. It will be remember
ed that several years ago an associ-
alton was formed in that county
but nothing was done to promote
its aims. A set of by-laws was
adopted at the last meeting and
officers elected.
A boys and girls auxiliary was
suggested to be formed later to en-
courage the raising of pigs and
calves. If kept up, the association
will be an invaluable aid to the
stockmen Of Emmons county.

Sugar Shortage Growing

Last week when it was announc-
ed that the local stores had no su..
gar, it was thought to be merely a
local happening and that sugar
would arrive in a few days, but &C.
cording to papers from other coun-
ties, they too are out Of sugar and
for a time customers will be allow.
ed to buy but a limited supply at a
time. The shortage may be due to
the fact that, owing to railroad
strikes, it could not be shipped to
these parts. Coming in the midst
of the canning season, it is a bit
inconvenient but it is hoped that
the shortage will soon be overcome.

azine concerning Armstrong Fore
bear, a soldier who returned to the
Standing Rock reservation recently
and will be remembered as having
taken part, in a dance interval,
By giving a demonstration of 'clog-

a halt on all work one morning
when a tall young Indian in Khaki
appeared. with all accoutremehts
except the pack and wearing two
gold stripes, a sharpshooter's star
and decorated with the Cross Of
Honor. He was Chester Armstrong

Mr.. Forebear belonged to the Both.
Div. and landed at Charlestown, S.
G. and demobilized at Camp Jack
son. This division along with the

six others were cited for bravery at
Bellincourt and received the Cross
of honor.

Gates Boy browns
While In Swimming
Joseph Gates browns in Has.
kell Pool--Body Sent
Here

Monday morning a telegram was
received announcing the sudden
death from drowning of Joseph
Gates.
The lad was perhaps 10 years of
age and was attending school at
Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kan.
The boys of the school had been
haying and in the evening upon re-
turning from the Yields, went down
to.the swimming pool. They were
playlnga game in the water and
the disappearance of Joseph Gates
was unnoticed as there were per.
haps fifteen boys in the pool at the
time. He was not at the school for
supper or roll call nor did he re-
turn that night. The next morn,
lug while diving, one of the boys
hit the body and reported il, the
pool was then drained and the body
found on the bottom. It is be.
lieved he received sudden cramp
and went down without a struggle
as he was an excellent swimmer and
no indications of having been bruis.
ed were found.
Joseph Gates entered Haskell
four years ago, at that time being
a fourth grade student. He was
industrious, ambitious and the SUP.
erintendent OF Haskell in a letter
Of coincidence to the parents stated
hat ''he was willing, cheerful,
obedient and in every respect a
splendid young man." He was
much respected among lis fellow
students and will be missed at the
school.
This is the second timc tlo ~.
gel OF Death has come suddenly in.
to the Gates family, another boy
having been accidentally shot.
: The body was shipped to Fort
Yates for burial and people from
all over the reservation came to
pay their tribute to the dead.
Beautiful floral offerings bespoke
the regard which he held, one of
the wreaths being presented Ly the
Forcsters. The remains were car.
ried by E. G. Means, Hobart Means,
Chas. Picard, Geo. Halsey, Newell
Manning. Ernest Chapman and
Mike Wilkie, all former students of
Haskell, and laid to rest in the
beautiful Fort Yates cemetery.
To the grief stricken relatives and
friends, we extend cur deep s.
sympathy.

Red Cross History

History This Chapter
Weekly

From the beginning Of Red Cross
activities in Sioux County no force
was more valuable in the further.
ance Of the work than the publici-
ty afforded by the weekly reports
as published in the Sioux County
Pioneer. Information was spread
before the people and their interest
aroused to an extent that could not
have been accomplished BY other
means.
As this county is so very young.
and has been until lately strictly
Indian country. the whole state
was interested in what was to l,e
done here and the work and atti.
tude Of the Indians was used as an
example to the whites Of the older
and more prosperous counties as an
incentive to speed up in Red Cross
matters there
Our attention at first was di,ect-
ed toward raising funds and the
initial attempt was made by the
ladies Of Fort Yates in giving a sup
per at the Agency hall on Aug. 25,
1912, The net .proceefls were SR1 OIL
This was encouraging as over one
hundred persons were present and
much interest in Red Cross work
was stimulated thereby.
Our chapter had the unique ad-
vantantage af having the last Of the
great Sioux county chiefs as vice
chairman, and a write,up Of the
interview by the ,chairman with the
: CHIEF appeared in the eastern pa
pers as follows: 80 .,s

on the Agency grounds at Standing
Rock, Fort Yates, N. D., lives the
last Of the great Sioux chiefs. Il
entered his room with my friend
the interpreter, and found the chief
reclining upon his bed. For sever
al months his health had been poor
and for time it was expected tina {
he would die. However, as I saw
him today, there seemed the possi-
bility that he will be with us for a
few more years at least, for there
isa deal Of virality in his old body
yet, and his indomituble will may
keep the life spark glowing under
circumstances that would overcome
a man Of weaker spirit. The bed
faces north window, and the light
Of the evening sun glanced into the
room, lighting it with a mellow
glow, and ss we sat in the silence
that precedes every courteous inter-
view with a distinguished Sioux

Of our surroundings so far situated
