David F. Berry, pioneer Bismarck
photographer, who died at Superior
Wis, March 6, on his eightieth birth
day, owned one of the finest collec-
lions of Indian pictures and relics IN
the United States.
In q feature article the Superior
Telegram gives an interesting story Of
his life. Berry moved to Superior from
Bismarck about 40 years ago. The
kilograms story In part follows:
For 40 years Dave Barry's home
and studio was at 1912 Tower ave-
nue., q musty. dusty little place that
was nevertheless mecca for his
.orians. It was crammed with war
bonnets, bows, arrows, arrowheads,
tomahawks, moccasins, buffalo robes,
muskets. beads. buckskin-and even
several hanks of hair which close in
spection reveals to be scalps.
Most valuable Of the collection, Of
course, is the copious supply Of photo
graphs. This picture of a stern-vis-
aged Indian, black hair falling about
his shoulders, buckskin shirt reveal
ing a broad. barred chest, is that Of
Chief Gall, whom Mr.. Barry regarded
as the greatest of all warriors, keen
intelligent Indian.
Gall Led Custer Raid
1T was Chief Gall who led the
charge which resulted in the death
of Gen. George A. Custer at the Lit
tie Bighorn river, near the Bighorn
mountains in Montana. Thursday
June Is. 1876, when Custer and all
of his 277 troopers were slain by 5000
Indians, the worst Indian massacre
in history. When Clusters widow saw
the portrait of Gall, the pride Of the
Barry collection. she said Painful as
it is for me to look upon the pictured
face of all Indian, never dreamed in
all my life there could be so fine a
specimen of warrior, as Chief Gall.
1.-The greatest and strongest In
dian face I have ever seen,' was the
comment of Trentanova, famed sculp-
tor of Florence, Italy, when shown the
photograph Of Gall
Chief Gall was Barry's greatest
friend among the Indians. One day

the knife. drew his gun. and held Gall
at bay. Cornered. the Indian relent.

a lasting friendship was cemented.

Aces Immediately Barry recalled an
incident he had almost forgotten.
Recalls Poker Game
In 1887 at Fort Yates, North Da.
kota, General Godfrey and several
other Indian fighters were assembled
at . poker game. The photographer
held four kings In his hand ana
boosted the game accordingly. The
others dropped out until there were
but two Of them left, Godfrey ana
Barry.
Barry raised by fives and larger
sums, but Godfrey boosted the game
only dollar at time. Bidding con-
tinued until Barry became suspicious
OF his large raises and Godfrey's dol
lar raises.
Finally Barry said. I met his
raise and threw my cards face down.
ward on the table, saying, Mr.. God
frey has four aces And sure enough,
there were four aces in Godfreys
hand
Barry was born March s. 1854, at
Honeoy Falls, Monroe county. New
York, and in 1861 the family mi
grated westward, settling first at
Ostego, WIS.,, remaining there a year,
and subsequently moving to Column
bus, Ohio. With a yearning for the
adventure Of the frontier, Barry came
west to Bismarck, N. D., while still
in his twenties. He had already learn
ed photography, having received his
first training as a water carrier to an
upstairs gallery in Columbus.
Named Little Shadow Catcher
when he reached the frontier,
the outbreaks between the whites
and the Indians were just begin
ming. Photography proved his en-
tree to the scene, and 1t was not
long before he was in the thick Of
things. In photographing the In
dians, he was forced to overcome
their fears and superstitions. They
regarded him as a sort of medicine
man, strange being who could trans
plant the human body on piece of
paper. Hence his name, Little Shadow
Catcher
THE most remarkable feature Of
Barry's photographs is that they are
all practically perfect, yet he had to
produce them under adverse condi-
tions. The taking of each picture
then was a scientific experiment.
There were no factory located plates,
or patented developing solutions that
worked in the hands of every novice.
Immediately after Mr.. Barry took
a picture he had to develop 1t. There
was no sending 1t to drug store and
calling for 1t the next day. Mr.. Barry
coated his own plates and within a
half hour after each picture was ia
ken, If he was travelling, he had to
get down on his hands and knees and
develop the plate.
Barry was well paid for his pic
lures, since they appeared In practi-
cally all of the leading magazines Of
the world. Years ago, Leslie's and
Harpers featured his photographs in
many issues.
Barry was q pioneer In Superior,
too, Since he lived here 40 years.

VAUDEVILLE WINS
IN STEEP[ECHASE
Cassatt's Horse Captures
Little Grand National
Event.
BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, JR.,
StafY Correspondent Of The Star.


GREEN SPRING VALLEY, Md,
April 21.-Alexander Cassatt's Vaude-
vile, a 7-year-old son Of Man o.
Wars sire, Fair Play, won the Little
Grand National steeplechase Of three
miles over timber here this after
noon, driving home to his second VIC
tory within a week on Maryland turf.
Vaudeville looked like a good horse
over the course on Mrs. Isaac E.
Emersons Brooklandwood estate to-
day, but the story of the thirty-fifth
Grand National might have had diff
ferent ending had not disaster ridden
in the saddle with Charlie White on
Charles 8. Cheston's Gray Cock,
nomenal series of mishaps. Sea Chart,
co-favorite with the winner in the
betting, brought the colors of Mrs
Francis P. GarVan under the wire
third. Six Of the field Of seven
starters finished. Jack Skinner, rid
ing John M. P, fell at the eleventh
fence, he was uninjured.
Gray Cock and Vaudeville were sep
arated by small margin at the end,
but the difference in their luck as
they galloped the route before 10000
cheering spectators was deep and
clear. In anything, fortune cast one
last benign smile on the ultimate
winner at the last fence, where the
issue was closed as both horses swerved
going into the wings and Vaudeville
leaped in front, forcing Charlie White
to check his mount. There was some
discussion of this incident among the
judges after the race, but the results
finally were declared official
Plagued by Misfortune.
Gray Cock, on the other hand, was
plagued by misfortune from start to
finish. Of on top, the son OF Cog
Gaulois was sailing along at a hot
clip when the field struck the first
sharp turn toward the crowd. Round
ing that corner, Gray Cock slipped
and almost went down on the soggy
turf BY the time he had been set
on his stride again, Professor Bill,
Brose Hover and Sea Chart had swept
by. Vaudeville at this stage was run
ming far back, with his rider, r. C.
Stewart, jr, holding off the pace.
Over the fifth, sixth and seventh
jumps, Gray Cock began to pick up
the leaders again and by the time
they were over the ninth and sweep
ing across the plowed field which pro-

vides one Of the toughest obstacles in
this round, the Cheston colors were
to the fore again. Then at the tenth
bad luck cracked down once more.
Gray Cock pecked badly, White was
thrown forward on his neck and hung
trailing almost on the ground. Brose
Hover and Sea Chart passed by, but
the unseated jockey clung doggediy
to the slender hold that kept him up
and gradually worked back into the
saddle.
So far were the three leaders ahead
of the others at this stage Gray Cock
still was third at the eleventh
fence when John M. P. fell, but
few moments later Vaudeville
had slipped into third, went on to
overhaul the front ones as Brose
Hover faded and Sea Chart tired.
Gray Cock had set sail again by this
time, however, and the little gray was
still challenging when the luck Of the
last fence fixed the outcome. After
all the ground he had been forced to
make up, White apparently did not
have enough mount left under him
to win on the fiat, no matter what
might have occurred at the sixteenth
barrier. Without those losses, never
theless, Gray Cock would have been
there plugging at the end.
Two Horses Outstanding.

vile cup, a maiden event added to
the Grand National schedule this sea
son, evolved into something between
q farce, q potato race and q stark
tragedy. There were approximately
half q dozen refusals chalked up
against the seven starters, two fell,
and assorted attempts at running out,
sitting down and such completed the
route. There were two outstanding
horses in the field, Mrs. Simon T.
Patterson's Hal Dale, which won the
Churchville eventually and also had
put the junior cross-country steeple-
chase in Maryland under his belt
few weeks past, and Thomas B. Gays
Friar's Hope, winner of the Rose Hill
timber race against a good field at
Middleburg on April IA.
This pair showed up in bold relief
against the greener timber toppers,
but when they had rolled up a nice
lead over the others they too stopped
accommodatingly and fiddled around
in front of fence until their riders
managed to persuade them over Hal

Single file, at the rate of more
than one thousand an hour, Moores-
vile citizens last night took their
last look at the hometown boy
known as Americas most infamous
character.
Inside Harvey's funeral home
John Dillinger lay on a cot, draped
in a white sheet. Only his head
was visible. 1t looked like that OF
a wax model.

John Dillinger would have lain In
more dignified repoSe in that plush
casket had it not been for a last
request from his father, the elder
Mr.. Dillinger.
A local merchant had supplied a
black suit for Johns final attire.
Mr.. Dillinger Sr. was grateful. but
insisted that his son wear some

said
Accordingly. the merchant friend
of the Dillinger family went to seek
gray suit. He had none and was
forced 10 so to indianapolis to pro-

That is the reason why John lay
on the cot with only a sheet 10
cover him. although he had been
brought to Mooresville from Chi
cago several hours before.
