that the memory of that bloody
day was kept fresh in the minds
of the soldiers who refilled the
ranks of the Seventh Cavalry
and who slaughtered the Sioux
at Wounded Knee.
TAKE part of the testimony:
L Congressman Barton-Ma-
jor, you emphasize the fact that
it was the Seventh Cavalry that
was in the Custer massacre.
Major Ralph H. Case, attor-
ney for the Sioux IndianS-I did.
Congressman Barton-And
that the Seventh Cavalry en-
gagged in the Wounded Knee
battle was the same Seventh
Cavalry. Do you intimate there
was a spirit of revenge?
Major Case-I did mean to
intimate that. The commanding
officer was Major WhitSide. In
the late war served under his
son, Col. Warren w. Whitside.
He told me the Seventh went to
Pine Ridge (Wounded Knee)
with full intent of getting even
for the loss of Custer at Little
Big Horn IA years before.
60 MUCH for that. The reac-
~ ton of Col. r. H. Brennan.
of the office of the Chief of
Staff, to a similar query was
this:
Il think that an outfit which
had been badly shot up would
have some pretty definite feel
ings when they got into another
fight"
I fail to see why the Sioux
have not been compensated long
ago for a deed which in the opin-
ion of one of Americas greatest
generals calls for "a suitable
recompense to the survivors for
the great injustice which was
done them and the serious loss
of their relatives and property"
General Miles, having done so
many times before, asked for that
settlement-for the last time
81 years ago. 1t has never been
made.
And here is the briefed story
of Dewey Beard, one of the
aged survivors:
1--WE stuck up our white flag
and they took our guns away
from us. When we were bare
handed they cut loose on us. I
was shot in the leg and up to
this day I do not know why they
did that to me. The soldiers of
the United States murdered us
and they have never made even
an offer of settlement.
MY wife and I had a baby
% days old. When the firing
started I missed my wife but I
found her later, shot through
the breast and dead. The baby
was nursing where the mother
was wounded. A few days later
he died.
II lay there helpless and the
soldiers came and shot me all
over again in the breast and
thought they had done for me.
They went through the field
putting bullets through every
body"

SPOKE TO ROTARY

Ralph Kowalke, Of Minneapolis,
who with Mrs. Kowalke spent Tues
day in this city, spoke to the Rot
airy club Tuesday noon. Mr.. Kow-
alike, formerly a member Of the
Sank Centre school teaching staff,
gave an explanation Of his position
as Scout Executive in the Mill City.
His work entails publicity, public
service, Senior Scouting, etc. Rec
emily he returned from Duluth
where Sea Scouts had an outing and
some time ago he took a number
of Scouts on a canoe trip in the
northland near the Canadian Dor
der. Public service, he said, in
cludes calls for small groups of
Scouts to approximately 600 Scouts
for work on public projects. The
600 Scouts are used as ushers at
football games in the Minnesota
stadium, the smaller groups are
used as ushers for smaller events.
Carl Fischer received a letter from
a Rotary Club In Uruguay, an
nouncing that the club had sent a
doll representing their life, as well
as literature and a tea slipper, which
is a gourd with q metal slipper, us
ed as we do straws in this coun-
try. Another letter from Rotary
Club in Columbia, South America,
requested books for a new public
library. The local club decided to
send one Of Sinclair Lewis novels
to the club. The book will be auto
graphed by Sinclair Lewis.

CAME TO UNITED STATES
FTFTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO

Fifty-seven years ago, last Sat
urday, A. T. Watson, resident of
this city, landed in New York
City from England. Seventy
five young men from the British
Isle came to this country on that
trip to learn farming. In recall
ing the incident, Mr.. Watson said
he did not come over to learn
farming and that he thought
perhaps only three Of those boys
continued their agricultural pur-
suits.
The parents Of those young
men paid the expenses of the
trip to the United States. Agents
handled the trip from London
and agents were at the dock at
New York to again help COM
plete the trip. These agents, he
said, were not of much help, as
they swindled these young men
OF. almost all they had.
The trip from England in 1881
was made in ten days, and in
1905 as comparison, when Mr..
and Mrs. Watson and their
daughter returned to England
for visit it again took ten days
to make the ocean voyage.
In 1881 Mr.. Watson came di-
rectly to Minnesota, locating at
Waseca. He came to Stearns
County in 1887 and to Sank Cen
tire in 1899, where for seven
years he was engaged as book
keeper in the Keller factory.
