AN ICE WELL.
Montana Indian Discovers Freak of Ma

ture on Reservation.
More than eight years ago John Spot
ted Wolf, an Indian of the Cheyenne
reservation in eastern Montana, decided
that he would like to have well near
his log cabin. Sc he and his wife. Mary,
chose a spot near large pine tree, per-
haps 20 rods from the door, and then
John began TO dig
BY noon of the second day he had dug
down 10 feet. Although the weather
cold while at work After eating he put
on an extra coat and went TO work
again. He kept Mary and her brother,
Rolling Bull, busy hauling up and carry
ing away the dirt that he looseLed. But
in spite of Johns extra clothing he still
was cold. On the third morning he
added more clothing but when night
came and the well had reached the depth
of Is feet he was almost frozen.
The next morning he again descended
the well and worked as rapidly as his
many layers of clothing would permit.
After a while water began to appear.
Suddenly he shouted. "Pull me up! Pull
me up!'
John had barely reached the surface
before the well filed to within a foot
of the top and then began to freeze
around the edges. In a short time only
a small opening perhaps foot in diam
eter remained.
The well remains the same way year
after year. During the day in summer
the sun melts the ice around the top,
but at night it freezes again. The well
which furnishes a permanent ice supply
for the people in the neighborhood, is a
strange freak of nature, of which there
are so many in the western part of the
state. Tourists who visit the reserva-
tiOn regard it as a great curiosity

Genevieve Ward, affectionately known
to the theatrical fraternity as The Grand
Old Dame of the Stage, endeared herself
to millions of theatre-goers in every cor
ner of the world during the 80 years she
appeared before the public in almost ev-
cry role from grand opera to light com
edy.
Great as she proved to be in mock
tragedy, she was none the less remark
able for the indomitable courage with
which she met and conquered genuine
tragedy when it appeared in her own
life. Either of two events occurring
while she was still quite young girl
might have overwhelmed a heart less
stout The first of these was an unfor-
tunate marriage at the age of IT to
Count Constantine de Guerbal of Russia,
from whom she separated, and the sec
ond was the complete loss of her sing
ing voice through an attack of diphtheria
after her success in grand opera had
been assured.
She was born in New York March 2T-
1888 daughter of Col Samuel Ward and
granddaughter of Gideon Lee, once
mayor of New York.
