CROWFOOT WILL
CHANGE NAME
Town Was Tribute to Great
Indian Leader.

EDMONTON, Alta, Dec. Odd timers
in the Canadian West regret the recent
change OF the name of a small town in
Alberta from CrowfOot Crossing to
Gleichen. The original name was a
tribute to one Of the great Indian lead
ers Of the West, CrOwfOOt, chief Of the
Blackfeet and head Of the powerful con-
federacy Of Blackfeet Bloods, Piegans,
Sarcees and other allied tribes. His jur-
isdiction extended over 10000 warriors.
He was the white mans steadfast friend
IN critical years.
He held at one time the fate Of the
West in his hands. That was in 1885
Louis Riel. leader Of the half-breeds and
Indians in the Riel rebellion, had sent
his runners through the Indian villages
to stir up war against the whites. Many
Of the tribes were ready to strike. It
remained for Crowfoot to say the word
and the West would have been deluged
with blood and the scattered settlements
wiped of the map.
The United States was a great nation
in 1885, but Western Canada WAS little
better than a wilderness. The Hudson S
Bay Company had surrendered to Can
ada its old empire. The Canadian
Pacific Railway had not yet reached the
Pacific Coast. but settlers were begin
ming to swarm in along its unfinished
line. The marvellous transformation Of
the prairies into one Of the greatest
farming regions in the world has taken
place within the last forty years.
The time was psychologically ripe for
an Indian uprising. II the red men had
torn up tho new railway and made a de-
Iermined stand. the development OF the
West would have been held back a half
century. CrowfoOt gave Riel's emissaries
. respectful audience, but refused to join
the rebellion. His decision saved the
West long and bloody war

were imposed upon public officials who
had been guilty of violating their oaths.
As n result every defendant Of this char
acter received sentence to the Federal
prison at Leavenworth.
All others received Jail sentences or
fines. In a number Of instances tech
nical sentences Of one day in Jail were
imposed.
Before sentences were imposed many.
of the defendants made statements, and
there was general exposure Of the work
ings of the Muncie underworld.
Captain Fox, police officer for many
years. said: MY troubles are due to my
superiors."
Under questioning OF the court he said
that former Mayor Rollin II. BUNCH,
former Prosecutor Horance G. Murphy
and form Chief of Police McIlvaine had
instructed him that he was to work
strictly under their orders and not to do
anything without their sanction. He also
blamed Gene Williams, another defend
ant. for his downfall.
Gene Williams gladly took the blame
saying: Il am the cause OF these officers
being indicted and I am proud Of it."

The proceedings were enlivened by
court room brawI between Patrolman ELI
Scott and Daisy Dean, two negro de-
PENDANTS. The woman characterized the
polhe officer as the worst policeman
in Muncie," and Scott retaiuated by say
ing.
Judge, Daisy Dean is one OF the very
worst women in the town"
Well for all l know, both Of you may
be right" Judge Anderson said.

1t seems no term Of Federal Court is
complete without its sensational "NIuncie

years past ana all indications point to a
highly successful Muncie hunting season
by the next Federal grand jury. Prom

already have felt the heavy hand Of the

served prison terms imposed by Judge
Albert i. Anderson, Rollin Bunch, for

The names OF these men have been men
toned with more or less frequency In the
trial Of the Muncie liquor conspiracy
cases which have been under way before
Judge Albert 3. Anderson since Wednes-
day, and yesterday Judge Anderson an
nounced in open court that further inves-
legations would be made as to the situa-
ton In Muncie.
The statement was made while Judge
Anderson was considering the matter Of
imposing sentence on four defendants
who had just been found guilty by

already had entered pleas of guilty to
charges of conspiracy to violate the Fed

WONDERS WHY JUDGE
WASN'T INDICTED.
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-12-09

and presiding elders, feeling that she
was getting out of her place, frowned
upon her, and took steps for the sup
preston of her work. But she continued
to preach the gospel in the apostolic
fashion, Notwithstanding all that was
said and done to stop her. In time she
began to establish missions of an In
dependent character.
At this she soon acquired a consider
able following and in 1901 organized her
constituency into a regular society. This
point. to put If briefly, was reached
through most heroic battling for her
rights and convictions. For years she
had been pioneering almost alone the
way for woman's ministry. Never In her
life was she inclined to push herself for
ward as q woman. Quite the contrary,
she was of a retiring disposition. More
over, she had two sons, Arthur and Ray,
that required a mothers care and she
could not neglect them, but she was i'm
PEELED by a relentless purpose TO save
souls and felt a definite call to preach.
With 1t had come a degree OF faith IN
God that has ever staggered her friends
and followers as well as her enemies.
In 1902 the new little society was in
corporated under the State laws OF
Colorado. No one felt that much would
come Of it. Even her husband was Of
a doubtful mind. He on many occasions
had opposed her most tenaciously In her
work. In fact. at times he constituted
great block in her way. Never did he
dream when he, a Methodist minister OF
strong will and talent married the I'M
pretending young woman from the hills
Of Kentucky, that he was tying up to
what would prove to be a personality
more powerful and resourceful than his
own. And afterward when he saw It he
was, perhaps, not just inclined to con-
cede Il, and so naturally was Of little en-
couragement to her.
Suffice It to say, the little society
has outstripped even its own most ardent
hopes, and through the years Mrs. White
with an amazing faith in God and IN
daunted purpose has been its great
dynamic force.
People are naturally interested in
Bishop White as a personality, and are
constantly seeking to know the secret Of
her success. She gives God the glory
for what she has done, maintaining that
she is only a poor instrument In His
hands. All this may be conceded, but
It must nevertheless be said that Mrs.
White Is an extraordinary woman. For
years she has been and continues to be
battling puzzle TO even her most init
mate friends. Her resourcefulness and
initiative have at times beeen dumfound-

could not understand why Judge McClel-
Ian had not been indicted.
Il have wondered myself" Judge An
derson said, land he will have another
chance to be indicted"
Judge Anderson directed District At
torney Frederick Van Nuys from time
to time to take down certain names with
view to having their alleged connection
with the conspiracy investigated.
The court also ordered that five resi-
dents Of Muncie. Cripit Mccormick, VII

And meantime If any one interferes

Judge Anderson said. Apparently he had
reference to certain instances mentioned
by witnesses where attempts had been
made to induce witnesses to change their
testimony or to coerce them.
WILL DISPOSE
OF CASES TODAY.
All forty cases win be disposed Of by
Judge Anderson today.
The jury which tried Timothy S.
Owens, justice OF the peace; L. Scott.
negro patrolman; Maggie Lampkins and
Carrie Brown. negroes, said to be pro-
prietors of blind tigers, was out less
than thirty minutes before returning o
verdict Of guilty.
The fireworks for the afternoon started
when William Robertson, one Of the
principal defendants, asked permission to
make a statement. An air of expectancy
filed the courtroom when Robertson took
the stand and It was evident that the
spectators expected him to implicate
others. Robertson was generally re-
garded as the principal collector OF pro
lection" money from the Muncie under
world after Chauncey Stillson went to
Federal prison.
He testified that while Bunch was
mayor he paid Bunch as high as $500 a
week for protection for various places,
and that three or four weeks be paid
the money to Prosecutor Murphy.

teach Sunday School and between times

who was sentenced to Federal Prison for
connection with swindle and fake prize

Marshal Mark Storen and said: This

down here when you took him to prison.

then asked you If he would be per-
mitted to take a Bible to prison with
him 2"
Marshal storen said the incident had
| happened.
81 really think Murphy is the great
est hypocrite that was ever in this court,
and that is saying a good deal" Judge
Anderson said.
Robertson then went on to say that
only six or seven weeks ago Murphy had
come to him and said that James Black,
another defendant, was in trouble and
that if $500 could he raised as attorney
fees for him perhaps Black would not
testify in the present trial to the things
he testified before the Federal grand jury
last winter.
