Many persons living in the vicinity
of Plevna have had pointed out to them
Dead Mans butte and the grave which
gives it its name. The butte and grave
are hear the southwest corner of the
Dave Pieper homestead one mile east
Of the Custer Trail farm owned by
George McHoes and five miles north
east of the town of Plevna. The story
of the tragic death of the stage driver
whose body rests in the lonely grave was
told by the late Senator George Nc
Cone of Dawson county, who was also
an employee Of the stage company and
who found and buried the remains of
the unfortunate man.
The only name by which the dead
man can now be known is Fritz" his
last name now being forgotten. Fritz
was n of the drivers of the stage line
which then connected Fort Lincoln,
| across the river from the present site
, of Bismarck, in what is now North Da-
kota, with Fort Keogh, lei the present
site of Miles City. The section OF road
covered by Fritz extended from Pen
nell station, near where the present
road east of Dead Mans butte crosses
Penneu creek, to the mouth of Powder
river. Pennel station was burned by
Indians some time after the death of
Fritz and was afterwards alluded to as
Burnt station.
Fritz was a mar of German extrac-
ton, about IS years of age and inclin-
ed to be very careless of his personal
appearance. He had come out from
Minnesota to make a stake and after
driving stage all summer had offered
his resignation to take effect Sept. /,
1880, with the idea of going back to
He decided to- stay an additional month
in the expectation of earning enough
money to buy two more COWS for his
Minnesota farm.
1t was in the latter part Of Septem-
Der, 1880, that he started on the trip
which ended in his death. It is said
that he seemed to have a premonition
of his approaching end. On the morn
ing of the day of his death, he had got
ten up early and had gone to the top
of the nearest hill, apparently looking
for Indians. Minor, who held Pen
nell station, afterwards said he SEEM
ed very uneasy. Minor called him to
breakfast and after breakfast he asked
Minor to cut his hair and trim his
beard, something he had neglected for
a long time. Minor did so and also
loaned him a razor with which Fritz
shaved himself. He also washed his
shirt and tidied himself up generally.
When Craig Sample, who drove the
stage from the Little Beaver to Pen
nell station, came in with the stage,
Fritz asked Sample if he had seen any
Indians. Sample had seen non but
this did not reassure Fritz and he on
tinued on the lookout for Indians all
day and seemed very uneasy.
When the time came for him to start
ON his trip to the mouth of Powder
river, he hitched up his team to the
blackboard and crossed the creek on
his last journey west. After crossing
the creek, he stopped the team and
waved a farewell to the man left at
the station, and called Goodbye, Min
or" He then turned and followed the
stage road into the hills where he met
his death.
Soon after entering the hills and Just
out OF sight of the station, a party Of
eight Indians bore down on him from

UNCLE WIGGILY'S ICE BOAT

We'll, I found it," said Uncle
Wiggily to Nurse Jane one day as
he came down out of the attic in
his hollow stump bungalow.
Found what?" asked the musk
rat lady housekeeper, lifting long
handled spoon in the air. But
don't worry. She wasn't going to
hit Uncle Wiggily with the spoon.
Size was going to make chocolate
cake.

answered Uncle Wiggily. 1T was
up in the attic. I went up there
last week to get it, but I found
an old candy cane and I let some
hungry mice children have it to
nibble. So I forgot about my ice
boat until today"
"You don't mean to tell me, Mr..
Longears, that you are going riding
on that thing, do you?" asked Nurse
Jane. For in his paws the rabbit
gentleman held a sort oil wooden
T-shaped cross with board for a
seat nailed on the longer piece Of
the cross.

20. U.P)-An attempt to rob Ameri-

at the local track was charged to-
day by Aqua Caliente officials as
they completed an investigation of
alleged overlapping activities of an
unknown group.
The race result wire connecting
the border track and Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Chicago was
said to have been tapped Saturday.
With the aid of a sending device
the racketeers flashed the start of
race before it began and a few
moments later named two horses
as winner and place mounts. Their
failure to flash the "show" horse,
caused handbook operators to be-
come suspicious and refuse to pay
off until the fraud was exposed,
it was said. AS a result the hoax
failed, it was said.

the boat.
"And so my boat will slide along
the ice," said the rabbit gentleman,
''it must be slippery. I'll get some
sleds-three of them, and fasten
them one on each end of tie cross

So, with no one to see him, Un-

Faster and faster across the froz-

rabbit gentleman in his ice boat.
He had a stick fastened to the back
sled runner of the boat and by
moving this, as the front wheel Of
a bicycle is moved, the ice boat
could be steered.
Uncle Wiggily whizzed across the
Duck Pond and just when it SEEM

around in a curve and started back
again. Just as he did so he heard

INVESTIGATION WELCOMED

The statement was made in this col
umn last week, in connection with the
trouble at Brawley when an attorney for
the American Civil Liberties Union was
abducted, that growers and workers in
Imperial Valley can settle whatever dit-
ficulties may arise, without the aid of IN
terfering outsiders.
Announcement that a commission un-
der federal authority is to investigate
labor conditions here, will give an oppor-
tunity for growers, workers and shippers
TO demonstrate the truth of the assertion.
There is general recognition that there
are two sides to be considered-the lab
orer, forced by circumstance to work at
low wages, and the grower and shipper,
forced by marketing and economic condl-
tions, to pay small wages.
In the main, the greater number OF
growers and shippers have tried to be
fair with their employees. There are
few however, who have sought to exploit
.heir workers and have been none too
considerate about their welfare or work
ing conditions. On the other hand there
are workers who have been ready to
make trouble at the earliest opportunity,
over trivialities.
A frank discussion with representa-
tives of both sides able to express them
selves freely, and with outside men in
whom both sides have confidence acting
as umpires, offers the opportunity for
satisfactory agreement to be reached. 1t
will mean give and take for both sides,
but that is not impossible.
Radical agitators have learned that
they are not wanted in Imperial Valley
and that their presence will not be tol-
Grated. If they can be kept out of here,
whatever differences may exist in the
produce industry can be ironed out
The people of Imperial Valley respect
law and order and will be staunch in up
holding it. If, in upholding it, they find
it necessary to deal severely with out
side agitators whose only interest is to
stir up trouble, they have shown that they
can take care of them also.
This is our community and we can
settle our own troubles at the same time
recognizing the right of lawfully desig-
mated, disinterested, outsiders to help US
settle them.
