GEN. WILLIAMS SAW
GRANT SNUbS Sitting
BULL IN BISMARCK
Former President Refused "a
Shake Hands With Indian
at Capitol Ceremonies

How one distinguished man refused
to shake hands with Sitting Bull a,
n laying of the capitol cornerstone
IN 1894 was related by General E. A.
Williams at the Rotary luncheon, at
noon today, when he was speaking
on the induction of North Dakota in
TO the national union as q state. the
constitutional convention that pre-
ceded that event and the laying Of
the capitol foundations.
General Grant was the man who
snubbed the old Indian. He placed
MS hands behind his back and gave
Sitting Bull a stony stare. It was
during Grants presidential admins
tration that the Sioux under Gall and
sitting Bull had wiped out Custer
and his battalion a. the battle of
the Little Big Horn. General VIII
liams said he didn't know why the
former president snubbed the old
medicine man.
Days Of Sub Rosa Legislation
General Williams told a lot OF sub
rosa history Of the metamorphosis
OF the territory into a state: also Of
the location of the capital by a com.
mission. which again also had its
under cover incidents and strategy.
He tried to dismiss calls for some.
thing about the constitutional con.
ventton with a quaint smile and the
whimsical comment. oh that was a
distinguished body of men,"
A chapter that was like lifting a
cover from the past was his story of
how Governor Pierce lined up a lot
OF legislators BY parceling out to them
on ms mere Say-so. the $4,000 acres Of
surplus public land donated to the
state BY the government and also
promising them state institutions.
BY that means and q special order
for the bill creating the capital COM

sentative Alfred was introducing for

the foundation was laid for Bismarck
TO get the widely coveted honor of be-
ing made the seat of the state gov
ernmcnt, he said. The council passed
the bill by a bare majority after it
came from the house.
After that the war began between
North and South Dakota, smilingly
commented the general.
