part of Orville Beatty, guard at
Lake Redwood, and Kenneth Par

while he was playing on the Boy
Scout sail boat moored off shore

rowboat with Pat Farrell, brother
of the near-victim, leaped into the
water after him. He held the
struggling boy up while Pat call

down the shore, Beatty dashed into
the water and relieved Kenneth
who was tiring and unable to
move toward shallow water. jim

artificial respiration to the limp
boy, Beatty revived him in about
10 minutes and he suffered almost
no i'll effects.

WOMAN SCALPED

to the ripe old age of 80 years
She died Tuesday of last week a,
the home of her son-in-law ane
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Otto j
Buenger in New Ulm.
It was indeed a gruesome pic
ture to Mr.. Ives and other mem.
bers of his party who went to
Milford township from New Ulm
in search of those white settlers
who escaped the ruthless cruelty
On the May farm they found
the husband and fatAer shot to
death in a field near the house
where he was slain by the Indians
in the sight of his horror-sJricker
family. In the farm house were
the bodies of Mrs. May and two
of her little children-Henry and
Bertha, also victims of the saw
ages.
Three other children, all of
whom have now died, were discov-
cred by Mr.. Ives huddled behind
a wagon box where they had
vainly sought refuge from the
murderous Sioux. Despite their
terrible scalp wounds and the
three-day exposure they were
alive. Mr.. Ives took them to St.
Peter where they were given me-
dical aid. After recovering from
their injuries, the three homeless
orphans were brought back to
New Ulm where sympathetic re-
latives and friends took them into
their homes. Mrs. Gales was
reared by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Roos.

MOVING
CRIMINAL INSANE
St. Peter Criminal Ward
Would House Feeble
Minded Youths

st. Peter-Members of the state
board of control, investigating
possible means of avoiding repeti-
tions of the break at the St. Pet
er hospital are considering plan
to move the criminal ward TO the
Saltwater penitentiary and use
the criminal ward at st. Peter to
house defective delinquents.
Defective delinquents are feeble
minded youths who are apt to be
troublesome in their local commun-
it S unless closely supervised. At
present the state has no institu-
tion expressly designed to house
these patients. Some are kept at
feeble-minded institutions, some
in state hospitals and some in
state reformatories.
The board also feels that it
would be much easier to house the
criminal insane in a hospital To-
Gated inside the walls at Still
water than at st. Peter. Not only
would the hospital be so located
that escape could be made only
over the large wall at the prison,
but the system of guarding at the
prison makes it practically i'm
possible for the inmates to es-
cape. The St. Peter criminal
block, however, would be adequate
to house delinquent detectives.
DR.. George Freeman, superin-
tendent of the St. Peter hospital
stated that under the new plan
present guards at the criminal
ward would be retained at their
present salaries.

Ebiscobalians Re- >Consecrate
Indian Mission at Services

Standing in the shadow of st.
Cornelia's church, the stone chapel
built many years ago by Indian
converts, on ground hallowed by
the graves of Chief Goodthunder
and Miss Susan Salisbury, Bishop
p. Keller led several hundred
Episcopalians, who were on a pill
grimage to the Birch Coulee mis-
sion Thursday, in a service of
prayer re-consecrating the historic
spot to the cause of Christianity
and re-dedicating those present to
an increased interest in the work
begun by early leaders.
Before an altar erected in an
open space on the grounds, Bishop
Keeler began the days program
Gy conducting a confirmation serv-
ice when Norman Dow, Douglas
land Wallace Pendleton, Donald
Walker, Raymond Buckholze, Gil
bert Prescott, Alfred Leith and
Mrs. Dorothy Anna Crooks were
presented by Captain Tom Moss
who has been in charge of the
work since March. Increasing the
solemnity of the impressive serv-
ce, the offertory hymn was sung
in the Dakota language by the
mission choir and the gospel read
in the same tongue by Rev. Henry
Sinclair, Indian minister who was
that day celebrating his thirty
seventh anniversary of his ordina-
ton.
The latter, baptized and ordain-
ed by Bishop Whipple, whom he
called 'the best friend the Sioux
Indians ever had," gave a short
talk recalling incidents in his as
sociation with the first Episcopal
bishop of the diocese of Minneso-
ia and emphasized that the great
est dictum he had given the red
men was "Love Thy Neighbor."
Bishop Keller thanked the
members of this modern crusade
who had come to the mission from
all parts of the diocese for the
help they had given in the past
and commended George A. Barnes,
of the church at Red
wood Falls, whom he characteriz-
ed as a politician after my own
heart" for his efforts in obtaining
funds for new road and for the
rebuilding of many of the Indian
homes. The bishop also expressed
his entire satisfaction in the work
being done by Captain, and Mrs.
Tom Moss in the four churches of
their charge, the mission, Morton,
Redwood Falls and Montevideo.
The newly painted rectory, almost
unrecognlzable in its complete re-
novation, the baseball diamond
and courts for tennis, croquet and
basketball, a community room for
the use of the Indiai young people
and the procuring Of stone for
the hitherto unmarked grave of
Rev. Hinman are some of the tan
gible results of the work being
lone by the Moses.
Women of the senior and junior
Bishop Whipple auxiliaries served
coffee for the picnic dinner and
visitors spent the afternoon MAX
ing inspection of buildings and
grounds, witnessing a baseball
game between Indian boys and the
Junior league of Redwood Falls
and listening to talk on the ear
ly history of the mission by Cap
tain Moss.

1t has destroyed the morale OF

Appeals to passion and class

To free people, these actions

sponsiblity Of this election tran
scends all previous political divi-
sions. We invite all Americans ir-
respective of party, to join US in
defense of American institutions,
Free Enterprise
We pledge ourselves:
Ito maintain the American
system of constitutional and local
self government, and to resist all
attempts to impair the authority
of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, the final protector of
the rights of our citizens against
the arbitrary encroachments of
the legislative and executive bran
ches of government. There can
be no individual liberty without an
independent judiciary.
2To preserve the American
system of free enterprise, private
competition, and equality of op-
portunity, and to seek its constant
betterment in the interests of all.
Re-Empl0yment
The only permanent solution of
the unemployment problem is the
ABSORPTION of the unemployed by
industry and agriculture. To that
end, we advocate:
Removal of restrictions on pro-
duction.
Abandonment of all new deal
policies that raise production costs,
increase the cost of living, and
thereby restrict buying, reduce
volume and prevent re-employ-
ment.
Encouragement instead Of hind

Elimination of unnecessary and

Relief
The necessities of life must be
provided for the needy, and hope
must be restored pending recov-
cry. The administration of relief
is a major failure of the New Deal.
1t has been faithless to those who
most deserve our sympathy. To
end confusion, partisanship, waste
and incompetence, we pledge:
The return of responsibility
for relief administration to nom
political local agencies familiar
with community problems.
Federal granss-in-aid to the
state and territories while the need
exists, upon compliance with these
conditions: (a) A fair proportion
of the total relief burden to be
provided from the revenues of
states and local governments; (b)
All engaged in relief administra-
ton to be selected on the basis of
merit and fitness; (c) Adequate
provision to be made for the en-
couragement of those persons who
are trying to become self-support-
ing.
1Undertaking of federal pub
lie works only on their merits and
separate from the administration
of relief.
"A prompt determination of
the facts concerning relief and un-
employment.
Security
Real security will be possible
only when our productive capacity
is sufficient to furnish a decent
standard of living for all Ameri-
can families and to provide a sur
plus for future needs and contin-
gencies. For the attainment of
that ultimate objective, we look to
the energy, self-reliance and char
acter of our people, and to our
system OF free enterprise.
Society has an obligation to pro-
mote the security of the people, by
affording some measure Of protec-
tion against involuntary unemploy-
ment and dependency in old age.
The New Deal policies, while pur-
porting to provide social security,
have, in fact, endangered it.
We propose system of old age
security, based upon the following
principles:
