JOHNNY APPLESEED," SCOUT
WHO PLANTED ORCHARDS

Not all of the great scouts were In
dian fighters. In contrast to the ca
reer of Lewis Wetzel, who was some
thing of a professional Indian killer,
Is the life of John Chapman or
"Johnny Appleseed." Chapman
killed an Indian in his life, but he
probably saved as many white men
from death at their hands as Wetzel
did.
Chapman first appeared on the Ohio
frontier in 1906. He came floating
down the Ohio river in a canoe, tow
ing another, and both boats were load
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills of Pennsylvania. His purpose
was to plant the seeds in the wilder
ness so that orchards would be started
for the settlers when they arrived
there to make their homes.
For the next 30 years he went every
where up and down the Ohio country,
planting seeds, going from n orchard
to another, pruning and caring for the
young trees. He was a welcome Wis
itor in the log cabins of the settlers
for he always carried a Bible and
some books from which he would read
and preach to them before the blazing
fireplaces in the evening.
Johnny practiced his teachings of
humility and kindness. He never killed
anything for food. He carried a kit
Of cooking utensils, including a mush
pan, which he sometimes wore as a
hat. Usually he wor a broad-brimmed
black hat, but a coffee sack with arm
holes cut in it was his only coat.
White men called him "queer," for
he often went barefoot in winter as
well as in summer, but the Indians
said, HE has been touched by the
Great Spirit" He went everywhere
among them unframed, for the fact
that Johnny never carried a gun con-
WINGED them that he was under the
special protection of the Mantle.
During the War of 1872 when the
British were ov%errunning the Ohio
country, Johnny Appleseed performed
his greatest service for his people. In
his wanderings among the tribes he
often learned Of their plans for at
tacks on the settlements. Where no
other white man could have gone,
Johnny passed in safety and more
than once he carried warnings to the
settlers, giving them time to prepare
for defense before the red invaders
swept down upon them.
All this time Johnny Appleseed vas
carrying out his cherished dream of
making Ohio bloom with fruit trees
and many of the finest orchards in
that state today owe their beginnings
to this strange a In his later years
Johnny left the country which he had
helped beautify and went to live with
a relative In Fort Wayne, Ind. He
died in 1S47.

Northeast section of the Louisi-
ana Purchase. 1t was the Mis-
sissippi river which was the di-
viding line between these two
large territories.
The Eastern section q coded
by France to Great Britain in
1868 and became a part of the
United States at the end of the
Revolution by the Treaty of Par
is in 1888. The Northwest ter
ritory was organized by con
gress four years later. Then, as
this great federal domain be-
came settled and was gradually
divided into states, the Eastern
part of the present State of Min
nesota belonged in turn to the
Territories of Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin.
AS to the western portion of
the state, this was a part of
the Louisiana Purchase, which
was bought from France by the
United States in 1903. AS this
region became subdivided, West
ern Minnesota formed a par
Of the Territories of Louisiana,
Missouri and Iowa.
The first white man to pene-
trate to Minnesota was the
French explorer, Duluth, who in
1878 built a fort on Lake Super
ior and there established a very
extensive fur trade. Two years
later, Father Hennepin and two
companions were sent by La
Sale to explore the Upper Mis-
sissippi and reached the Falls of
st. Anthony, where Minneapolis
now stands. But it was not un-
til the Nineteenth century that
permanent settlements were
made. In 1922 the first mill was
built at the Falls of st. Anthony,
where were destined to arise
such important successors. In
1841, Father Galtier built a
chapel dedicated to st. Paul, and
this was the foundation of the
present great city Of that name.
AS to the name Minnesota,
the state was so called from the
river that runs through 1t, which
in the Dakota Indian language
makes the words "Minne,"
meaning "Water," and "Sotah,"
meaning "Sky-colored." Some
times the state is called the
North Star State" from the
motto on Its coat-of-arms.
Minnesota was admitted to the
Union in 1858. It's area is S4,-
6S2 square miles and it is the
most important Of our wheat
producing states. 1t has twelve
presidential electors.

CLEANUP SQUAD
TO VISIT CARSON

The Sweet Bill became a law on
August s, when President Harding af-
fixed his signature, ending a heroic
struggle of two and half years for
the decentralization of the War Risk
Bureau.
The Wason Bill, which provided for
this means of speedy relief for our dis
abled veterans, was passed by Con-
gress after two-year struggle, was
vetoed by President Wilson.
The Sweet Bill just passed by pres
ent Congress, embodies the provisions
of the Wason bill together with other
desirable features. Under the new
law the War Risk Bureau is decen-
tralized into fourteen regional offices,
with i60 sub-offices. The decentrali-
zed War Risk Bureau, the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service and Feedral Train
with eXservice men and women are
all consolidated under the head of a
newly-created Veterans Bureau.
One feature provides that in cases
of mental arrangement and tuber-
culosis, that the burden of proof shall
rest upon the government for two
years from date of discharge of the
applicant.
In other words, if an ex-service man
or woman develops either malady with
in two years after date of discharge,
it is conceded that such condition is
due to military service, and compen-
sation will be Immediately awarded.
AS previously announced in these
columns, the cleanup squad will
visit Carson City on September 10
where they will examine and prepare
cases. disqualification and vocational
training will be awarded ON the spot
but compensation must be forwarded
to the district office in San Francisco
for inspection and actual awards will
be made in Washington until the
Sweet law becomes operative

SENSATIONAL
SUIT FILED IN
DISTRICT COURT

What promises to be one of the most
sensational divorce suits ever tried in
Douglas county was filed in the dis
trict court at Minden this week by
John Kline and comes as a sequel to
a divorce action filed recently by his
wife, Mary Kline, who sought separa-
tion on the grounds of cruelty Mr..
Kline also filed a damage suit against
James p. Van Sickle for $4,000, al
leging that the defendant named In
this action had aleniated the affections
of his wife, causing him to suffer great
distress In body and mind in the
ruination of his home and In his dis
honor and disgrace.
Kline alleges in his complaint that
he was married to his wife at San An
dreas. Calaveras county, Calf, on the
25th of July, 1907. That his wife met
James Van Sickle on or about 1909,
and that in September 1920, she did,
and has since that time violated her
marriage vows through improper re-
lation with the man named.
The Klines have son which was
born June II, 1911, and the father in
his cross complaint asks for the GUS
tody of the child.

NOT GUILTY
SAYSSTRAUSEN
DATE OF TRIAL LEFT OPEN BY
JUDGE; WILL BE SET by
LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES,

Judge Frank p Langan held ses-
sion of the district court at Minden
Wednesday afternoon at which time
J. II. Strausen, charged with the MUIR
der of c. S. Pellor at this place Au-
gust /, entered a plea of not guilty
through his attorney, p. A. McCarran
of Reno. The date of the trial was
not set, but will be arranged later by
the attorneys of both sides. Upon
their request Judge Langan left the
date open in order that a time may be
set that will not conflict with other
cases now pending in which the lawy-
ers are interested.
The plea of not guilty by Strausen
did not come as a surprise to those
who have followed the case since the
hearing in the justice court at which
time the attorney for the defense
moved for dismissal of the case on
the ground that the evidence showed
that Pellor probably came to his death
by falling from the running board of
the automobile.
Statements made by Strausen after
reaching Coleville, on the night of the
murder, which trip was made in the
murdered mans car, and his state
ments that he had been in trouble near
Gardnerville and wanted the sheriff
to come mad take him back, together
with the finding of a hand-ax in the
rear of shed at Coleville which had
been the property of Pellor, and the
fact that Strausen left Carson in COM
pany with Pellor on the day of the
murder, is part of the chain of evi-
dence that will be used by the prose
cutting attorneys in laying the crime
at the door of the accused man.

DETECTIVE IN
MURDER CASE

Joe Gonzales was arrested at Sweet
returned to Minden, 1t being believed
that he was implicated in the murder
of Francisco Silba, which occurred at
this place July 80. The suspect was
later given his liberty because of in
sufficient evidence.
Since the murder of Silba the Off
GERS have been working on every pos
sible clue that would lead to the ap-
prehension of the cold-blooded ak
murder and in this work they have
had the help Of an experienced de-
tective.
The officers are now thoroughly
convinced that Silba was killed by
mistake and that the real victim es-
capped death because of mistaken iden-
tity. In hunting for a motive for the
crime, the officers have found that
two of the men that had been sleeping
at the school grounds had engaged in
card game, and through crooked
play the game broke up in a row, and
one of these men may have mistaken
Silba in the dark and hit him with
an AK. Another version of the affair
is that woman of the underworld
who is supposed to have been in this
vicinity at the time, caused a quarrel
between two of the Mexicans and that
Silba happened along just in time to
be mistaken for the other man.
However, Castillo, who has been in
the county jail since the murder was
committed, is believed to be the man
who did the killing. One sleeve of
his shirt gave evidence of being spat-
tered with blood and the garment has
been sent away to be analyzed to de-
termine whether or not the blots are
human blood. IL they are not, Cas-
tillio will be given his liberty, as no
other evidence is at hand to connect
him with the murder more than he
was at. or near the schoolhouse about
the time the crime was committed.
