Am UNPLEASANT ST0RY~-THE MlSF0RTUMES
OF DULL KNIFE AND HIS COURAGEOUS BAND

through the snow, and bitter colo
night, their course marked by the
slain and wounded. Babies were
shot, and women who, exhausted
sat down to rest, yer mercilessly
slaughtered. One of the women
killed vas the daughter of Dull
Knife, who was carrying another
woman's child.
Some reached the hills and hid
in holes in the rocks. Most OF
these were killed. Sixty-five were
captured, and taken back to the
post. The next day soldiers with
six mule teams were sent out to
bring in the dead. About fifty
were found.
Grinnell says, "The dead were
brought in and unloaded like dogs.
The soldiers got into the full wa
CONS and standing on the bodies
took the frozen corpses by the
heads and feet and tossed them to
the ground. After a wagon was
partly unloaded, men standing on
the ground reached in, took the
bodies by the feet or head, dragged
them out and let them drop to the
ground"
The captives once more in the
post, Captain Russell came to them
and asked, "Will you go south?'
A girl wounded in the foot arose,
and leaning against the wall an
swered for the rest: mo, we will
not go back; we will die rather.
You have killed most of us, why do
you not go ahead and finish the
work."
Fifteen Of the escaped Indians
were pursued by the soldiers, and
finally took refuge in a buffalo wal
low. The troops surrounded them
and kept up a fire allday, killing all
but three women. When these
fifteen were first overtaken, Cap
tain Vessels asked the interpreter
to demand their surrender. The in
terpreter replied that he did not
like to do so.
Are you afraid?" asked the Cap
tain.
Eyes, I am afraid; but l will go
if you command me to-" replied the
Interpreter. He went to the edge
Of the wallow, and Captain Vessels
accompanied him, when a shot from
Indians passed between the
-wo, causing Captain Vessels to
luck his head. He lost his bal
ance and rolled to the bottom of the
vallow, but on the outside. The
Interpreter inquired of him whe-
her he would not like to come up
ind speak to the Indians. Strange
IS it may seem, the Captain declin-
ID to do SO.

Of this band of one hundred and

were sent south. Those who

housewife placed some of the liquor
of the asparagus on her tongue, and
at once washed it off as it caused a
burning sensation. She developed
symptoms of botulism within thirty
six hours and died in our days. In
a second recent outbreak of botulism
due to home canned corn, the house.
wife merely crushed two or three
grains of corn between her teeth,
but did not swallow any. She devel-
oped symptoms of botulism within
forty-eight hours and died in eight
days. These cases, according to J.
c. Geiger, writing in American Jour
nal Public Health, and quoted in
Journal American Medical Associa-
ton, are the only reliable records of
death from apparently rapid absorb
ton rather than from the ingestion of
the toxic food.
However from the experiments
performed by DR.. Geiger, with the
poison from these two lots of con-
taminated food, by which every gum
ea pig, given a small scratch, or cut
in its skin, and applied a small por-
ton of the poison to the scratch or
cut, developed symptoms of botulism
and died.
The only animals that escaped with
no symptoms were those whose skins
were uninjured and normal.
This experimentation would tend to
show that the housewife or other per-
son could become infected from the
poisoned food through a cut or open

SHOULD PERPETUATE
Wild, FREE OLD WEST

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.-The ded-
i~cation at Cody, Wyo, on July 4, of
the equestrian statue of Buffalo Bill
was the occasion of a stirring recon-
s~ecration of the friends of conserving
the wilderness, its game, and the
American pioneering spirit, to the
task of keeping in it's original state
the great wilderness of the Yellow
stone and Jackson Hole.
If Colonel Cody was able to see and
hear, from his place in the beyond,
what went on there that day, he must
have thrilled to the knowledge that
here were gathered men and women
not merely to do him honor, but to
pledge themselves to the perpetual
ton, to %unending generations, of the
men may go from time to time to re-
new their bodily, mental and spiritual
vigor.
That note of preserving what is left
of the old West-or barring civiliza-
ton forever from the wonderland
now set apart as the heritage of all
the people-ran through the speeches
of the day. Every expression of that
nature brought from the vast throng
assembled for the exercises tumultu-
expressions of approval and en-
~dorsement, so it was evident that all
there were committed to the policy
so warmly advocated by the speakers.
A typical expression of the thought
of the conservationists was the speech
of Horace M. Albright, superintend-
ent of Yellowstone Park. Mr.. AL
bright urged that all possible means
be used to keep alive the original
character of the region and the spirit
of such men as Colonel Cody, who
pioneered through the country.
"Let us whenever and wherever ap-
propriate wear the costume of the old
scout and the bygone cowboy" said
Mr.. Albright. Let us hold each year
celebrations that will be so ~colorful
and picturesque a S to keep up our WI
interest in this conservation of the
spirit of the old West, and also for
the purpose of spreading to the peo-
pie of every state in the union the
feeling that this spirit of the pioneers
must be preserved if America is to
be home of Americans, and this ma
ton the moral leader of the World.
Throughout history, progress has
been westward, and as we in the west
ern part of the United States stand
at the last frontier, where there is no
other west, we must be the guardians
of the spirit of discovery, pioneering
and progress; and this spirit can only
be preserved by maintaining here for
ever, at Cody, and in Yellowstone
park, and in the Jackson Hole coun-
try, all the forests and wild life and
picturesque customs and costumes of
a day that is gone"

FUTURE BEET IRRICATIONS ARE NO LESS
IMPORTANT Than THE FIRST

Virtually every beet field has been watered once by
this date, Some growers who began irrigating early
have applied water to the beet crop a second time.
Irrigation having been started there is even less occa-
sion during the balance of the growing season than there
was earlier to withhold water on the mistaken theory
that It wauld make a better crop to wilt" the plants.
Tests have shown that frequent irrigations, storing
in the soil a supply of moisture sufficient continuously to
keep the plant foods in solution for use by the feeding
rootlets, gave the highest yields per acre.
The quantity OF water that should be applied can not
be stated here in specific terms for all fields. Absorbing
and retaining ability of different soils varies. The rate
OF evaporation differs i'll the various localities under
changing atmospheric conditions.
But generally the past fortnight has been marked by
hot dry weather. Therefore, in most cases from now
on, irrigations every 10 days or two weeks-without
hooding-are indicated.
Avoid flooding as it tends to exclude the air from
the beet roots and Injuries the crop.
a dark green color OF the beet leaves usually indi-
Gates that the moisture is running low. Severe willing
in the daytime and failure to revive during the night is
a danger sign.
Watch your beets and irrigate them when they begin
to show, signs OF wanting water.

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE

the proper methods Of repairing the
damage done, according TO officials
of the United States department. Of

The department points out that
the first thing that should be done
is to remove the large broken
branches that may become men
ace to life and property. If limbs
have split, or practically split from
the main trunk all splintered wood
about the wound should be removed
with sharp gouge and mallet, i
not so situated that it can be saweC
off. The scar should be smoothed
and treated as an open cavity, or as
a large surface would, as the case
may necessitate,
Attention should next be given 10
repairing the injuries on the larger
branches in a similar manner, and
last of all the smaller branches, it
was stated. Sometimes when d
limb is broken away, the three is
so weakened at the point of breaa-
age that it may again break in .

the top must be pruued back moro
or less severely, the department
pointed cut.
In eases Of estates where a great
amount OF injury has occurred, and
only small force is available fer
repairing the damage, the final cut
ling OF long stubs can be CONVEX
ientiy- left for a time, but wounds
Or breaks on the main trunk, OF
close to it, should be attended il.
promptly, in any case before warn
weather arrives, it was advised.
