When the attack began the soldiers
were ready and by The unexpected
use Of cannon the enemy was
driven off. The hostiles now rode
back to their own camp and began
TO make ready to escape. This gave
the friendly Indians and half
breeds IN opportunity to ride into
the hostile camp and snatch the NO.

Indians who were about 70 carry
them Off. They carried these pris-
oners to their own camp which
they defended with bitches and
breastworks. Over the camp Of
friendly Indians floated . white

"Sibley's forces secured the coun-

These occurrences created an III

Start OF the Trouble
"The trouble started with some
members Of Little Crows band who
stopped ct farm house to ask for
some bread. One Of the party had
some eggs which he had taken from

farmers wife saw the rgs she Be.

that began the massacre at this
point"
His father took IN active part in
gathering together a group Of
friendly Dakotas and half-breeds
who vigorously opposed the hostiles
and later took part i: operations that
drove them out Of the state into Da.

Numberless stories have been re-
counted Of the experience Of those
who had q part. in this occurrence.
Victor Renville a half-breed living
in South Dakota, has given q very
clear account Of what happened
that year. He was q boy of 13 but
he has still a vivid recollection of
the part he and his father, Gabriel,
had in the events. He gives the
following account Of the causes Of
the massacre:
"The treaty Of 1851 provided that
the Indians be given interest pay
ments amounting to $4,000, which
was to be divided as follows: $40
0'0 for clothing, ETC., $4,000 for
schools and $4,000 for farm ma
chincry. In 1853, the ire " was
changed by the federal government
50 that only Indians on eighty acre
improved farms could get this aid.
A council of Indian chiefs was call
ed to Washington and when they
returned they said that they had
not agreed to the changes in the
treaty. Also. the Indian res~rva-

The report points out that since

June, 1929, this will be the last
year it will be carried on unless the
state decides to accept the respon-
sibility Of continuing the program
which has been carried on in the
last five years.
A total Of 1,42S children ex.
amined at he conferences had tom
sill defects and 1888 had gland de-
fects, Miss Williams report shows.
OF all the children examined, II
per cent had one or more defects.
Teeth, nutrition and skin defects
were others found in larger num-
bers among the children, with the
report listing 396 defective in nu-
triton; 335 having skin defects and
G81 having teeth defects.

The District Movie Theaters.

Few Washingtonians, unless they are
| disgruntled at the management OF a
motion picture theater for some real or
, fancied grievance. will agree with the
contentious of a Representative in Con-
gress who in letter to Maj. Hesse has
charged that thcater aisles are blocked,
that seating space is oversold to a
degree that constitutes a fire hazard,
and that patrons are unable to learn
until they get inside the houses that
there is standing-room only and are
frequently forced to take less expensive
seats than they paid for on upper floors
if they do not wish to stand throughout
performance. In conjunction with
Fire Chief Waston, Maj. Hesse will
conduct an investigation of the condi-
tions covered by the complaint, but it is
predicted that no necessity will be found
for the enactment of additional regula-
tions, at the present time at least, for
Washington's movie houses.
The District is particularly fortunate
in having within its borders an equip
ment of moving picture theaters which
furnish a high grade of entertainment.
Crowds are constantly in attendance to
enjoy the various offerings. Moving
picture audiences are unique in the
respect that they are constantly shifting
and seats become vacant at odd times
during a performance. This condition
results in a large number of temporary
standees who would rather take a
chance on securing one of these vacan-
cies than waiting outside the theater
with possibility of missing the show
entirely.
In order to deal with the movie fan
Of this type the management oversells
the seating space, but, except in the
rarest cases, does it allow inside a
theater more persons than can reason.
ably expect to find seating accommoda-
tions within a short period Aisles are
always kept clear and it is only the
space in the extreme rear of the houses
which is congested at certain periods.
Exits are numerous and accessible and
the fire hazard is probably less In Wash
ington's well designed and conducted
theaters than in many other cities.
Inquiry at the ticket Office or of any
attendant is invariably calculated to
elicit the information as to available
types of seats and dissatisfied patron
will in most cases receive refund with
courteous promptness Periodic surveys
of theater conditions should, of course,
be conducted. but Washington movie
goers are confident that, for the present
at least, the theaters will be granted a
clean bill of health.
