eros Ventre Tribe
Is Mourning Death
of Chief Old Dog

Garrison, N. D.. May 4.-tR-
Mourning is the rule among men,
bers Of the Gros Ventre tribe of
Indians on the Fort Berthold reser-
walton west Of here. 1t is due to the
death of Chief Old Dog, 80, who
had been headman Of the tribe for
the last 40 years.
During the craftsmanship of Old
Dog, his tribe made many forward
strides. Most of them now are
Christians. Many speak excellent
English, own large ranges and
farms and are largely self-support-
ing.
Although the eros Ventres were
a peaceful people, living in villages
and tending their flocks and herds,
the history includes many wars
with neighboring tribes. When .
young man Old Dog was severely
wounded in a battle with the Sioux
and his honorable scars helped ad.
vance him to the craftsmanship OF
the tribe.
Married twice, Old Dog displayed
a strong preference for dancing
women. When young he was mar.
ried to Dancing Along but she died
shortly afterward. Later he mar.
ried Many Dances and she lived up
to her name by living to a ripe old
age. Five children were born ia
them. At the time of his death Old
Dog was living with one Of his
daughters.

Suggestion that provision be made
for the organization Of district

such a plan would result in more
work being done than under the
present system where health direc-
tors are part-time county officers,
giving such time as their practices
permit to the public health phases
Of their jobs.
Whiss:emore suggests that in many
cases four counties could be united
