STOCKS SHOW
IMPROVEMENT

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 G.N.SO.
The stock market closed the
week today on a firmer note, as
cessation of "war scare" liquida-
tion and professional short cover
ing resulted in moderately i'm
proved price structure, despite
Italy's spurning of the League
of Nations compromise pro-
posals.
Volume of turnover tapered off
sharply, totaling $4,000 shares,
as contrasted with dealings of
,33O,OOO shares for the compar-
able period yesterday when the
market was acutely weak.
Westinghouse Electric made
the best showing in the indus
trial classification, rallying a
point to 74A. Fractional gains
were chalked up in such Specu-
lative leaders as American Can,
Chrysler, General Motors, Gen
eral Electric and Union Carbide.
New York Central led the rails
with a gain of u point to 2412.
Surprisingly, Italian obligations
on the bond market rallied brisk
ly, ignoring the disquieting news
from Rome. The italy Is jumped
3 points to 591a and the Milan
612s were up points at 4412.

MAN SLAIN

Drives Auto Through
Gates at Bellevue;
Refuses to Halt

Death was the penalty a man
paid today for becoming belliger'
ent when a Marine guard com

at Bellevue, D. c.. on the Potomac
River below the War College.
The man was identified as
j. D. Moriarity, "a, of 1880 Rhode
Island Ave. N. W., a skilled Ia
borer in the linotype section of
the Government Printing Office.
According to relatives, Moriarity
has been estranged for some time
from his wife, Elsie B. Moriarity,
q nurse living at 434 Irving st.
N. w.
AS reconstructed by police, the
story is that Moriarity was driving
a small roadster in which were
riding two sailors attached to the
Bellevue Magazine, r. F. Burton
and r. Bakken. On the running
board of the roadster, - according
to police, was George Holroyd, Of
the 633 block Of Eighth st. N. w.
Car Fails to Stop.
The car did not slow up as it
approached the gates of the Navy
station, and the guard, John F.
Whitmore, a Marine attached to
the station, called for the car to
halt, police said.
One gate was closed, leaving in.
sufficient room for the car to
pass, but, according to police, Mo-
riarity drove his car into the gate,
attempting to push it aside as he
continued in the M azin e
grounds.
The guard continued his COM
mands to halt, an after the car
crashed into the gate, it stopped
and Moriarity began Scuffling
with the guard as he was getting
out of the car.
Whitmore then drew his As
calibre pistol and fired, the bullet
piercing Moriarity through the
chest. He died almost instantly.
Inquiry Planned
AS the shooting occurred on the
naval reservation, the two sailors
were taken into custody by Off
GERS at the Navy station, while the
man police said was Holroyd dis
appeared. Police are searching for
him.
The guard who shot Moriarity
also was held for questioning by
officers at the Navy post, who
said that he as we'll as, the two
sailors. we're to be taken to the
Navy Yard where they will be
kept incommunicado until they
appear before a court Of inquiry
at the Magazine, probably Mon
day.
Moriarity's body was left COW
cred on the grass just inside the
gate until the coroner could ex-
anime it.

TRIBUNE
RECALLS PAST
EASTERN TOWN WAS NAMED
CITY OF CERTANTIES" BY
EDITOR

Few people who see the old and
yehow pages Of an early newspaper
OF their home town can tear then,,
selves away from it for hours. In
tncse fragile pages Is often Contained
story Of an era almost legendary to
OF nostalgia.
Such was the case in the accidental
recovery of a copy of the first issue
of the Fairview Tribune. dated Dec iS
1913. Bill MUMMY had Just moved his
plant down from Buford, and brought
out salutatory issue of the TriblIne
heralding the virtues of Fairview. "Tf1e
City OF Certainties," as the merchants
were wont to put on their letterheads,
Al! western towns in those DAYS were

bued with the boom spirit, tackled en-
Enthusiastically the few obstacles between
them and the certainty" of seeing q
metropolis arise in the midst of q rich
farming area, which they were helping
to build.
In the case of Fairview, one could be
all the more optimistic in 1913 because
the railroad had just come into town
from the north, as this issue of the
Tribune reports The train ran dailv
and was mixed, except Sunday when
it was solely passenger Tracks were
being extended across the Yellowstone
toward Waterford City, N. D., but had
not yet reached there.
Few business establishments remain
now that were rising almost daily as
the town was springing up Many Of
these people have moved away or have
died, but in going through this old
Tribune one can see the familiar names
OF L. L. MaXson, the Great Northern
hotel, Yellowstone Lumber company,
Alling Mercantile & Lumber company,
John Mohrherr, Len Gardner, L. p.
Lanouette, and j. A. Bird, business and
professional men who have remained
in their original vacations in the same
town for over 20 years.

in sight of thousand tepees; their
pointed tops glistened under the suns
bright rays. Seepahwa had now be-
come alarmed; for he must not let the
fierce, painted warriors of the great
camp have sight Of him, neither must
they have knowledge of a strange In
dian venturing outside of his own
grounds. So he hid himself in a deep
coulee where he found a small spring
OF water, near which he staked his tired
horse.
"He lay down and slept while his
horse was filling from the sweet bunch
grass around. 1t was past midnight
when he wakened. He reused to
thought and action, for he must tell
his secret errand to some young maiden
in the great camp below.
"Thc young brave saddled and
mounted his horse and rode toward the
camp which was silent and heavy with
Sleep
SLOWLY he rode past wigwams of
large families; through several tented
alleys; and up and down every trail
made plain and clear by the moons
white light. At last he noticed a dim,
narrow trail leading to a small, white
tepee some distance up a hillside.
HE turned his horse upon this trail
and stopped close beside the little tent.
The flap was thrown back and Seep-
ahwa could look inside. He saw, lying
upon the ground, the figures of two
human bodies-one, an elderly squaw,
deep in sleep and snoring noisly, and
the other young maiden lying by her
self upon bed Of dry grass and leaves.

AS he drew nearer she further recognize
ed him as a spurned admirer back
among the people Of her blood.
HE drew up his rifle and fired
shot that struck Seepahwa below the
heart, killing him instantly. He then
leaped from his horse, ran to my moth
er and shouted in the language of her
people: Kill that infant in your arms,
then come with me back to the people
ments as If to grasp the infant by the
feet and dash it against the hard
ground. But my young mother leap
ed aside and with an impulse of a cor
nered savage, caught up stone at her
feet and hurled it furiously into the
Sioux's face.
"A half-dozen or more armed As
slnniboine horsemen were now seen
riding in their direction. The Sioux
ran to his horse and sped away, but
was quickly overtaken and slain by the
rifles of his Indian enemies.
MY mother at the time was madden
ed by grief. She knelt upon the ground
beside the fallen body of her Seep-
ahwa, lifted her eyes to the sky and
walled with loud cries to the Great
Spirit to put life again into the body
OF her SeepahWa. Again and again she
would cry out in anguish for her dead
lover, and then as her mind would
turn back upon his slayer, she would
scream in furious anger, with bitter
words against the dead Sioux
Throughout that summer night, the
young Sioux mother and her infant
lay by the side of the slain lover and
father. In the stiffness of earth and
sky, cries from the mother had carried
far, even to touch the ears of a lone
wolf, high upon the top of a distant
butte, and he, in turn, raised his point
ed nose toward the high moon and
hoWled dismally.
Months and years went by and I
had reached the age of six. We longed
to leave the Indian settlement, for we
were woefully unhappy and were daily
affronted by hateful gibes from young
Assinniboine women relating to my
mother being a Sioux. So we set out
for the white settlement, carrying with
us supply of dried elk meat for our
food. Days and days we Travelled, and
