FUND WILL HELP
THOSE CRIPPLED
LEGISLATURES BE ASKED TO
PROVIDE STATES PORTION
SUM NEEDED FOR RELIEF
INJURED.

Pierre, Nov. 26.-one of the mat
ters which will be presented to the
legislature at the coming session will
be an appropriation to aid in rehab-
ilitation of those crippled in indus
try.
The government provides fund
for the states in this work, with a
requirement that the stae supply an
equal fund to that provided by the
government.
Under the apportionment South
Dakota would get $1,000 from the
government for next year IL the Leg
islative' session provides a like
amount and the means for its distri-
button.
The fund Is to be handled through
the state board for vocational train
ing, and the general idea appears to
be that this training should be in
established institutions Of the state.
In fact, the government appropria-
tion is made with an understanding
to that effect. Rehabilitation work
is being carried on at Brookings for
. number of crippled soldiers, and
the work could likely be extended at
the school.

YOUNG SIOUX IN
SUICIDE EFFORT
FIRST ASKS FATHER TO SHOOT
HIM, THEN TURNS GUN ON
HIMSELF-wILL RECOVER

Fort Thompson, Nov. 26.-When
Richard Ashley, the 23-year-old son
of Wallace Ashley. one of the lead
ing members of the Grow Creek
tribe of Sioux Indians, decided to go
to the happy hunting grounds he
offered a gun to his father. SO the
latter could shoot him, but the
father refused. The young man then
fired a bullet into his left breast
just above the heart. His recovery
is expected, although the wound is
dangerous one.
The offering of the weapon to
the father was in accordance with
an oldtime Indian custom, based on
the theory that an Indian father has
the right to take the lives of his
children in certain contingencies
The weapon used was of 36-cali-
bre. The revolver now Is in charge
of superintendent Marble, in charge
of the Grow Creek reservation. Do
mestic troubles are believed to have
been the cause of the attempt at

educated mixed-blood.
He was twice married, having
been divorced from his first wife, a
white woman from the Lower Brule
reservation. He later married Miss
Ada Tuttle, also a leading member
of the Crow Creek tribe of Sioux. A
few weeks ago himself and wife
separated.
Young Ashley was engaged in con-
versation with his father and 9TH
ers when he suddenly drew revoiv-
er and extended it across the table
to his father, at the same time in
dicating that he wished his father
to shoot him. When the father re-
fused the young man turned the
weapon upon himself and fired.
Should infection result his death
probably would follow.

his food through to him, and es-
capped.

tion about month ago, and is out
on bail pending trial in the circuit

 We didn't exactly throw the vacuum cleaner in his way. But there are times when parents are absent from home, and it was in these times that he made his discovery.

 Contemplating the reversal of form he had compelled the vacuum cleaner to show. the child reasoned that if it formerly could take air out of things, | it could now put air into things.

Honolulu. July 2-For eight days and nights, Captain Eugene Mccarthy and crew of the big United States Army transport Marica fought and finally con- uuered a fire in the ships cargo of mu- nitions, while small arm ammunition. shrapnel, grenades and bombs burst, it was learned here recently on the trans ports return from Manila.
 Smoke was seen first issuing from one of the forward matches at 10 o'clock at night during the ships last voyage to the Philippines The officer of the watch sounded a general fire alarm and water was turned into the hold. where 1000 tons of ammunition of all sizes were stored.
 Explosions of munitions in one hatch were taking place every little while V said Captain Mccarthy. "The cargo there included shrapne shells, hand gre nades, detonating fuses, bombs and small arm ammunition. My men carried case after case of munitions likely to explode at any moment from the hold and threw them overheard. The boxes were too hot to handle with bare hands, so the men wore gloves.

 Captain Mccarthy said the explosives were loaded at Hoboken in March and he declared it as his belief that spon- taneous combustion started the fire.
