Rapid City, S. D.-Waltcr Bull
ard returned from a ten days stay
at his ranch in Bennett county,
and is naming preparations to re-
turn at once on mission that will
be fraught with considerable excl
tement.
1t seems that Walter had CON
verSation with an old Indian, down
on the reservation, which may have
20 do with the skeleton found in
cave two or three yeals ago by Dir.
Jackson, on his Canyon Lake ranch,
and as a result of the conversation
Walter is going to bring the old
Indian to Rapid City.
1t seems that Walter was relat-
ing to the old Indian the story of
the fading of the skeleton by DR..
Jackson. AS he described the Incl
dent, tho old Indian showed unus-
ual signs of interest. and began
questioning Walter minutely as to
Just where the skeleton was found,
how much dirt was over it, the de-
scription of the cave, or cache, in
which it was found, and many 9TH
er particulars, many Of which Wal
ter could not answer. The old In
dams attitude and interest in the
affair was very peculiar" said Wal
ter "and finally y said to him: why
are you so interested in this skele-
toni, to which the Indian answer
ed:
Many years ago-mOrc than f.
fty-a party of us were hunting
up Rapid Creek, about five miles up
from mountains, when we saw a
lone white man walking down can
yOn on foot He carried stick
over his shoulder and had big bag
on end of it. We killed white man
and he had big bag of gold dust.
We have no use for gold dust, so
welift up big fiat rock and hide
it under the rock and leave it the
iC. We liicil tdhc WIlilc man ana
shove him in big hole that go back
in mountain and leave him. Our
party had seven Indian. We saw
white man coming and he not see
us, so we run ahead and when he
pass we shoot him. We not know

you where gold was left. If | not

think gold be worth many thous-
and dollars
Walter says he looked up the old
Indians record and found him to
be very reliable and not given in
any manner TO exageration or extr-l
avagant statements. II believe the
old Indian is telling the TRUTH
says Walter. There are reliable
indians just the same as there are
reliable white men. At any rate

Old Skeleton May Reveal Cache OF Gold
Hidden By Indians Many Years Back

| am going back and get him and
bring him up there and see if he
can locate the rock under which he
claims the gold was ilaced ! cant
lose anything more than my time
and slight expense, and he might
find me a lot of money"
1t is not at all improbable that
the skeleton found by DR.. Jackson
was that Of the man whom this
Indian and his party killed and OF
course he may have been making
his way out of the Hills with gold.
Then again, it may have been
the old freighter, whose bones lie
buried just the other side Of Brew
HaXby's old place, as you go up the
hill to Feay Reder's place west OF
town. 1t is known that this old
freighter had sold his freight out
fit and mining property at Hill
City and was on the way out of the
Hills on foot when he was killed
by unknown parties. The body OF
this man is said to have been found
under a cave near the side of the
road. and he might have been paid
off for his property in gold dust,
which was the common currency
of those days, and have been carry
ing the gold dust on his back The
Jackson skeleton, however. seems
to he the most probable one, owing
to the cave-like cache in which it
was discovered.
1t is expected that Walter will
arrive in Rapid City with the old
Indian either Sunday or Monday.
April 2S or %, and 1t is believed
that party can be gotten up to
go out with the Indian and see if
he can locate the gold. 1t is tot

This program Is regarded by con-

BRIDGE GRATING WILL HELP
Fruit Trees Damaged by Mice and
Rabbits Can Be Saved by Simple
Little Operation.

Fruit trees that have been girdled or
otherwise injured during the winter by
mice and rabbits can be saved by
bridge grating. A bridge graft is
made by using scions or small limbs to
connect the two portions of the bark
of the tree which have been separated
by an injury. The ends Of the 'bridge"
unite with the uninjured parts above
and below the wound In such man.
ner that connection between the It's
sues is established. Bridge grating is
best adapted and Is usually most sue
cessful when applied to apple trees.
However. pear trees may also be
treated by this method.

BUILDING UP OLD ORCHARDS
Crop to Improve Soil and Help
Bearing Trees.

Sweet clover Is considered to be
about the best hay crop to grow in an
orchard and at the same time improve
the bearing of the trees. Many old
orchards on rundown soils have been
built up again by getting a stand Of
sweet clover (Which is an easy job)
and allowing the clover to have q
couple of years growth with perhaps
two cuttings year from it.
This Is also a good way to build up
an old orchard soil before setting out
younger orchard between the old
trees, with the idea of cutting out the
old trees as soon as the young ones
begin to bear. The principal under
lying the recommendation of sweet
clover Is that, when inoculated, it will
supply nitrogen to the soil. 1t will
grow on poorer land than most
legumes, and still give good results.
Nitrogen Is the main element in nature
that stimulates growth and heavy bear
Ing in fruit trees.
The method most common Is to plant
sweet clover on the land that is poor.
Often the old trees are entirely cut
away II they are not bearing enough
fruit to pay saving them. The clover
is plowed under when the plants are
about three feet high. or 1t may be
disked into the soil after mature
plants have fallen to the ground. The
young trees are then planted the first
spring after the clover has matured
and has been plowed under.

USE SPARK PLUGS TO
STOP CYLINDER HOLE
Auto Must Have Magnetic and
Wires to Hook Onto II,

Spark plugs have been In use almost
as long as the automobile itself. They
were Invented primarily to plug up the
holes in the top of the cylinders.
That's how they came to be called
plugs. When automobiles were first
made. they had trouble with holes
forming In the tops of the cylinders.
Some cars had four holes, some had
six. and some even had eight and
twelve. 1t all depended on the car.
and they never knew until after the
car was finished how many plugs It
was going to need.
Along about the time they were try
Ing to find some way to effectively plug
up these holes. they found that to run
properly, car had to have a magnetic
and wires to hook onto 1t. Then came
the question of what to do with the
other ends of the wires that were
hooked onto the magnetic. One day a
young inventor decided to attach the
loose ends of the magnetic wires to the
plugs In the top of the cylinders and
rename the plugs spark plugs. This
was done. and 1t became so popular
with automobile makers that 1t has
been the custom ever since.
Now automobile makers even go 80
far as to advertise their cars by the
number of spark plugs 1t has. For in.
stance, you hear of the "super six

Settlement of the issues involves the
disposition of about $3.50, 900, 900 Of
German owned property now held by

side Is the question whether these mil
lions of dollars Of alien-owned prop

Of payment and eventually returned.
Authorities here declare that the
property held in this country will not
be contiscated. There is agreement Of
minds on all sides that private prop
erty cannot be used to pay national
debts. and also that claims Of the heirs
of Lusitania victims and other Amer
leans who suffered at the hands of
Germany are national obligations.
Besides the personal claims, the
United States veterans bureau has laid
claim to the sum involved in the cost
of insuring soldiers and sailors. No
sum for Lusitania claimants has been
announced, but prior to the establish
ment of the commission such claims
had been filed with congress for $780,

Hints
GOOD HINTS FOR oRcHARDIs1
Thorough and Complete Covering
is Essential In Spraying-Thin-
ming Is Important.

1t should be remembered that thor.
ough and complete covering with
the spray is essential to success. 1t
Is not enough to try to hit the fruit
that the sprayer sees but he must
cover all the tree. The successful
sprayer goes back and checks upon
himself to see whether he has missed
any spots or not. Special attention
should be given to the tops of the trees
and no one should attempt to spray in
high wind.
Careful thinning Is another impor-
tant orchard practice which should be
a regular part of the codling moth
campaign. This should be done early
and the thinner should be instructed
to pocket the wormy apples so they
can be carefully destroyed. Probably
the surest and simplest way to do this
Is to dump them into barrel half
full Of water with little kerosene on
top.
The trees should be carefully pruned
and opened up so that the spray can
reach all parts of the tree without diff
Guilty. 1t may be necessary to head
back old trees severely. 1t is some
times necessary or desirable to recon-
mend that burlap bands be placed
around the trunks of the trees where
infestation Is heavy. These should be
removed about one in two weeks dur
Ing the summer and any cocoons found
destroyed. Cultivation will kill some
of the larvae in the ground and atten-
tion should also be given to packing
houses or other buildings where the
old boxes are stored that may contain
many alternating larvae. The grower
should also keep an accurate record Of
his spray program. including notes on
the weather SO that he may be able
to check back on his successes or
failures.
