through the first round. However,
Tindall encountered plenty of
trouble in the second round from

into rebellion. To make the situation
utterly insupportable, the railroad had
built across his land; and, because it
thereby saved around $4,000, it had
even presumed no build across his IL
rigation dam. Moreover, it refused to

Thompson; the law is on my side"
One night he hauled his homestead
shack to the railroad, removed three
sections of track, placed the house
squarely in the breach and sat down
before the door, with the American
flag hoisted over his roof and a rifle
lying across his knees, to await the ar
rival of a train. For several days SER
vice on the road stopped; then a United
States Marshal and the sheriff of the
county came out together and arrested
Thompson for obstructing the mails.
But the story had 60 wide attention
and his single-handed war against the
railroad became the county's best en-
joyed folk tale. (K,L,M,P).

politics during the nineteen-twenties.
1t is already passing out of common
use, for lack of occasion to employ
it in recent years.
The superstitions are chiefly those
brought in by the settlers from older
communities; if the beliefs of the In
dams have been adopted to any extent,
they have been so changed that it is
difficult to recognize them. Because of
the greatly emphasized Importance Of
such things as wind and rain in a semi
arid region, the superstitions concern
ing the weather are more f%epresent-
alive than any others. One, solemnly
affirmed by old-timers, is that the
waning and waxing of the moon affect
everying from precipitation and the
growth of crops to roast pork and the
sex of unborn babies. Another asserts
that precisely three months after foggy
weathe it will rain or snow. Derived
from the Indians is the belief that the
severity of coming cold weather can
be accurately forecast by observations
of the flight of birds and the thickness
of the fur on animals or the bark on
trees. The ground hog is taken with

already been largely effected. (C,L,MD.
Breaking OF land and planting OF
wheat ard flax on the uplands began
on a considerable scale in 1908; some
breaking had also been done in 1907,
when a huge steam engine with an
equally huge set of plows had been
brought up from Culbertson and tried
out on the Big Muddy flat near the
Archer badlands. This outfit turned
out to be uneconomical because Of its
enormous weight, which caused much
bogging-down and delay, but while it
remained in use it turned over a great
deal of sod (L,M). Much more sod was
broken with humber outfits, however.
Oxen were common, and curious teams
made up of both horses and oxen were
by no means uncommon while, south
of Outlook, Jens JUL used a horse, a
mule, an X and a COW. (M).
The Culbertson trail remained the
county's only venue for ahe trans
portation of supplies until 1910. Then
the 500 Line Minneapolis, St. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie) built to Ambrose,
North Dakota, and a new trail to that
town developed. The officials of the
Great Northern, aware of the new
farming country to the north and not

building a branch line northward from
Bainville in 1909. 1t reached Plenty
wood late in July, 1910. Immediately
there was a new squirt in the already
rapid development of the region.

I~NSTALLMENT FOUR
FOLK WAYS


240. Sheridan county is too young to
have any firmly established folklore
comparable to that of older commun-
tiles. 1t lacks most of the cow country
lore of Great Plains communities,
chiefly because it became a farming
region SO soon after its first settle
ment; its songs, whether of the range
or of the dance hall, were current else
where first; its dances, too; and its
dress is the blue denim overall and
chambray shirt of the farm, and the
country : wide standard Sunday
clothes" of the towns. The localisms in
language are of entire geographical re-
gions, rather than of counties. Good
examples are %coulee, tree-claim, spear
grass or prairie needles (western
needle grass, COB (the heavy black
substance sometimes found in Ignite
coal veins which constitute, by its re-
semblance to coal, a major ~nuisance),
and moose. The last, taken from the
Scandinavian word for snuff and of
ten accompanied by the word pris "a
chew, is widely used in all sections
influenced by Scandinavian immigra-
ton. Bullet and she'll (for cartridge)
are for some reason common neal
Outlook; and the word crokinole has
by some wonderful process acquired
the pronunciation keanuckle, to rhyme
with pinochle. But perhaps the only
localism ever realty originating in
Sheridan County is TayloriSm, a word
Invented by conservatives TO describe

considerable seriousness, IS IS re Oh
Te tament cycle Of seven fat, sever

ture attracts moisture, whatever its
degree Of scientific inspiration, was ac-
cepted implicitly as one of the reasons
fer the summerfallow system, and,
when summerfallow failed, for irriga-
ton.
Sheridan county, like every western
community, has had SIS eccentric
characters who often became half-leg-
endary while still very much alive.
Jim Sandy, Outlook b~ootlegger, pro-
f%essional tough guy and devastating
ladies' man, was such a character, and
the stories told of his exploits would
fill a large and unprintable volume.
Very different was Barefoot Smith,
who went from Plentywood to Gull
bertson to attend a dance, but neglect
ed to put on his shoes. There were
many others, but of them all, Hominy
Thompson is perhaps the most famous.
Thompson had been Tilted in Indiana,
and came to Daleview in the eighteen
nineties, resolved thenceforth to avoid
hateful Homo sapiens. When Gay and
Guy Moody settled in the Plentywood
area in 1897 he felt THAI his privacy
was being violated and, crossing nalf
the county to see them, demanded that
they get out. with the whole prairie
to settle on" said Thompson, why
should you come way up here and
squat down practically on top of me?'
The amazed settlers declined to move.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

ESQ. Two townships in the county
were surveyed in 1906, and the work
continued steadily during the follow
ing year. Homesteaders began to come
in at once, new communities devel-

lied as it is at the present day, and the

CLOTHES
TRAFFICCOPS
FAVORED

With public sentiment Tor the
apprehension of unsuspicious traf-
fic violators growing steadily, bal.
lots in favor of plainclothes traf-
fic policemen poured into the Of
flee of The Washington Times
Traffic Editor today.
Letters in explanation Of votes
accompanied the greater part Of
the ballots, with proponents Of
the plan commencing it as an eff
fective means of curling traffic
accidents and the large number of
automobile deaths.
Most of the votes approving
the system of plain clothes traffic
policemen were predicated on the
theory that fear of a corps of
well-disciplined officers, riding
through the streets without
uniforms and in unmarked cars.
would keep motorists on the right
side of the law.
One writer explained that "the
laxity" of drivers and their "reck-
leSsneSS on the city street,"
would be sharply curtailed if the
motorists were kept in constant
fear of apprehension by police
men whom they could not see
through their windshield mirror
Condemning the recklessness of
drivers who NOV down children
like ants on the streets of Wash
ington," another voter declared
that some system had to be de-
viSed and that the plan for plain
clothes traffic police was the
best yet put forward"
On the other hand. those op-
posing the plan feared that the
use of unmarked cars and plain
clothes police would prompt mo-
florists to suspect the motives of
someone drawing up behind you
and telling you to pull over"
II feel you should keep police
men in uniform so that the pub
lie will recognize them as of
ficerS and not persons who will
pull you over to the curb to nab
you. l am sure that many a
person. while being stopped by
a plain clothes policeman, wOuJt
, think it to be a rObber, and
