81. PAUL MAN TELLS REPORTER OF
FINDING. $4,000 OIL FORTUNE IN
LAND HOLDINGS NEAR ROBINSON. n. D,

The following interview, given the
st. Paul Pioneer Press by St. Paul
man, and published in . recent issue
of the st. Paul paper, will prove in
teresting reading to people Of south
central North Dakota, despite th4
fact that, 50 far as IL known, no
flake OF oil" has been struck in or
near Robinson, no oil has been reach
ed at the level Of 5000 feet, and no
well is "already in operation"
i Twenty years ago, Charley Ber:
neite decided that he had better pro-
vide for his declining years. He is now
in his sixties, and it seems that his
efforts to avert poorhouse destiny
have been effective to the tune Of
about quarter Of million. But
despite the apparent generosity Of
the gods. he continues to serve the
Golden Rule in his old capacity as
stove-installer and general trouble
call man. He seems to choose . pes.
simiStic view Of the safest.
As he explained, II didn't have any

When they threw it on the fire, it
blazed up more than ever, and every

fire, they pumped another bucketful
and examined the stuff. What they
had was gasoline.
"That night they pumped 700 GAL |

land around the we'll. It was his
original intention to get leases on u |

of Rapid City, has sought to empha-

Sitting Bull was handicapped by
low caste parentage in his ambitions
for distinction. However, as Doane
Robinson, former state historian,
aptly puts it. "He was not slow in
discovering he possessed unusual
gifts as a horse thief and as an ora.
tor.
His native craft turned him more
and more to the tricks Of the con.
juror. He developed his subtle tai
ents and soon began to acquire fame
as a prophet; astuteness, luck and
some advance information assisted
him to prognosticate certain events
with a precision which COMPOUNDED
the big chiefs who had 50 profound
~ ignored him. They were compell-
ed to recognize his medicine"
DOdged Fights
AS Sitting Bull grew older he in.
creased his power with fervid ora
tory and impressive tricks, became
more imbued with heather religion
and hate for the white people. He
excited his braves to many valorous
deeds. but invariably retired to make
medicine when combat began.
He is supposed to have been gentle
and refined ut home, but fierce in his
diatribes against the whites.
Because he spent several years as
an attraction with Buffalo Bills wild
west show. Sitting Bull saw only the
ssany side Of white life. When he
returned home he made the famous,
emphatic declaration: II would
rather die a Dakotan than to live a
white man."

Sitting Bull Used
Magic Tricks to Win
His Peoples Respect

Pierre, S. d.. Sept. 1O.-H)-A
savage Sioux brave astride an Indian
pony, blood in his eye and on his
tomahawk, urging his intrepid red
skinned warriors on to ruthless mass
acre of the whites, presents the COM
mon conception Of the nationally
famous Sitting Bull.
On the contrary, Sitting Bull, in all
the works Of history, is merely a
peaceable high priest who eschewed
personal combat, who prayed much
more than he fought, and who gained
his power among his people BY Judi
cious use Of a bagful of conjuror
tricks.
Didn't Kill Custer
Regardless, the old chieftain was
the. leader Of the Hunkpapa Sioux,
and largely responsible, historians
say. for their hostility toward the
white people from 1858 to 1876.
Sitting Bull was commonly sun
posed to have killed Custer, while he
really took no hand in the Battle of
the Little Bighorn, fact which his
grand nephew, Chauncey Yellow
Robe, an educated. full-blooded Sioux

Presidents Aides
Busy With Denials

Washington, Sept. 10-LP)-The
vaults Of the library Of congress con
tain several valuable collections Of
confidential papers besides the Lin
coin letters, which are to be made
public after q years under the will
Of the martyred presidents son, the
late Robert Todd Lincoln.
Controlled by Heirs
Locked III steel compartments Of the
library's manuscript department are
the presidential papers Of Cleveland,
Roosevelt and Taft. They are kept
in privacy, not for any specific period,
but until further orders are given by
those having them in charge. The
widows Of Presidents Cleveland and
Roosevelt may bestow the right of
access to these collections. and this
permission has been given occasionally
for biographical or scientific research.
Chief Justice Taft placed his COM
munications as president in the Ii
brary for safekeeping some years ago.
No part of them may be seen with
out an order from him in writing.
The collection of Charles J. Bona
parte, encouragement under Roose-
welt. also is held pending further in
structiOns.
These statesmen belong to the pres
ent generation, or were so close to i,
that they or their executors felt that
publication should be delayed until
political animosities had faded and
personal Observation-Disclosures been for
gotten. Custodians of the papers say
there is little or nothing in them
that would cause diplomatic embar-
rassnient, but matters which might
re-0pen old WOUNDS or revive slumber-
ing controversies. These difficulties
will be smoothed out with the wears.
and there will be no reason to with
hold publicity.
Open to Students
NO such inhibitions surround the
writings Of the early presidents. The
manuscripts of George Washington
are bound in large volumes, and may
ha studied in intimate detail By the
historian. Similar access is permitted
- the writings of the succeeding
presidents-John Adams, Jefferson.

 The cry comes from reputable Republicans of the Territory whose must be withheld by their spokes man, one Basil M. Manley, director of the New York Peoples Legislative service. New York is long way off, and it's legislative service little to Alaska We know nothing of MT. Manley, and willing to wager that few others outside his immediate environs have heard of him. Undoubtedly he feels envous of Clarence True.
 Why in the name of politics must Alaska be tarred, feathered and dragged in the mud of the pig sy? Each time the performance is public At time the mud splash es in the committee chambers of the National Congress- again in the gore sheets of national newspaper or of the saacious for the edcaon of the morbid and now through press announcement. A. telegram to the President of the United States recalling matter with which he is thoroughly and which in his mind he undoubtedly has disposed off, is employed the thin thread with which to tie this most recent vicious stab.

With the arrival of the equinocal storms the entire coast of Florida has been laid to waste by the most dsas rous of hurricanes which has visited that section of the country And from the Middle West other dis patches tell of the toll of lives taken and unestmatable damage created by wind, rain, hail and lightning.
 Not since the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 when five hundred lives lost and property loss of $40 OOOOOO September g. 1900, when 5000 people lost their lives in the Galveston tornado has there been such a catastrophe as has visited Florida.
 The number of dead has been estimated from one hundred to fifteen hundred It has been impossible to innate the property loss thus far It will probably much more than $100OOO0OO for during the last few years which Florida delevop at tremendous rate untold millions of dollars of buildings constructed and business, general scale, grew at marvellous pace.
