THE INDIANS REVENGE

Gray death could not be quieter
Than the hour of the setting sun,
Black shadows cast beneath the trees
And the stars brighten one by one,
The birds that sing all day have
hushed,
The warm gentle winds are laid,
The water laps among the reeds
Like the breathing of one afraid.
Later, the gaunt coyote will howl,
But now can be heard not a sound.
Restless leaves droop and are quiet
gaze at the river spell bound.
l pay no heed to the soft breeze
That coolly fans my rumpled hair,
The long pipe falls from my worn
hand,
Where it fell,-it rested there.
l marked the light from the river
That leaving it dead mans hue,
1t murmured a fearful story
Of the one who too near it drew.
Had shot through the still night.
DlOOdred,
Drawing a slow, fading, fiery trail
Across the dark skies overhead.
The moon had shOne out that night
blood red,
And across its disk was drawn
In shadow, a thing greatly like
A scalping knife, rugged and long.
Next day the cruel, savage Indians
Broke out, for their vengeance to win,
Massacred women and children,
And tortured our hard working men.
But now, once more, all is quiet,
l sit gazing down at the stream,
Where women and children were
drowned:
1t seems like a hideous dream.
The stars that peep down upon me
Shine upon me sad and alone
A week ago this same evening
They shone down on us-more than
one.
The savages took her captive,
Oh, l would they had killed me then,
Than to leave me here all alone,
Like the rest of my fellow men!
-Thelma Spicer, Finlayson.

WAR SCARES' Are
DECRIED BY BORAH
United States Proposal Warning
World To Arm, Says Idaho
Senator

observation-disclosures "war talk" Of
United States naval officers, coupled
with their demands for a larger navy,
prompted a statement by Chairman
Borah of the senate foreign relations
committee, that such activity was
sheer madness"
Calling attention to the recent ad-
vocacy by Admiral Charles F. Hughes,
chief of naval operations, for virtu-
ally a billion-dollar navy building
program, and the declaration of Rear
Admiral Charles P. Plunkett, COM
mandant of the Brooklyn navy yard,
that the United States faced an early
and inevitable war" with it's COM
mercial competitors, the Idaho sena-
tor called upon the taxpayers to make
themselves heard before this mad
policy becomes fixed"
Secretary Wilbur had no comment
to make on the Plunkett statement,
nor would he indicate that he would
have anything to say later.
Senator Borah described such dec
larations as those of Hughes and
Plunkett as ''mischievous to the last
degree"
"If anything could possibly bring
on war between two great nations"
he declared, "it is these enlarged
naval programs, in connection with
declarations from the navies of the
respective countries that war is in
evitable. This was the insane policy
which obtained between Germany
and Great Britain from 1900 to 1914,
and which was one Of the great con-
tributing causes to the World war;"

Mrs. Mary Alice Dickinson, wealthy
widow, who died January 4, may
have died from causes otherwise
than natural" have resulted in q

examination Of the body.
One statement alleged that the
suggestion had been made to a phys

Efforts Of Sponsors of Wash.
ington Mans Candidacy For
President Fail in Attempt 10
Have Secretary of States
Office Reconsider Decision

Efforts by representatives of
Huston Thompson Of Washington,
d. c.. to have the secretary Of
states office reconsider its decision
not to print his name on the March
70 primary election ballot as a
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, apparently had failed today.
Scott Cameron, Bismarck attor-
ney, appeared at the secretary of
states office this morning with ad-
ditional names which he said should
have been attached to Thompson's S
petition but was told that it was too
late to file them.
In a statement last night George
Wallace Of Minneapolis, who has
been directing the movement for
Thompson, said he knew Thompson's
petition carried more than the 500
names required by law. The secre-
tary of states office counted only
AIS. however.
Charles Liessman, deputy secrc-
tary Of state and official in charge
OF election matters, said he saw no
reason why he should change the
ruling with regard to the Thompson
petition and that he had certified to
the printers the form of ballots
which will be used at the prcsiden-
tial preference primary election.
Rejection of Thompson's petition
leaves Governor Alfred E. Smith Of
New York without opposition in the
Democratic primary. Rejection of
petitions Of candidates for conven-
ton delegates pledged to support
Thompson leaves only one set Of
Democratic candidates for delegates
on the ballot.
