Turtle, Angry Bull
Raises Question
In Biography
Editor, Browning Chief:

Editor, Browning Chief:
A biographical account Of the
late Turtle by Mr.. J. L. Sher-
burne appeared in last weeks
issue of the Chief. In this ar
ticle Mr.. Sherburne expresses
doubt as to whether Turtle was
ever known as Angry Bull, the
name appended to his portrait on
the current Empire Builder cal
endar.
The term Angry Bull, together
with other information regard
ing this deceased Blackfoot, WAS
supplied to the Great Northern
Railway by the undersigned. In
order to resolve the question thus
raised by Mr.. Sherburne, the fol-
lowing information is presented:
In July, 1850 | obtained the
salient facts of his life directly
from Turtle, with George Bull
Child as interpreter. At h e
time of my interview, Tur t ! e
seemed in good physical and
mental health. Consequently I
felt no reason to doubt his state
nontS as outlined below
The subject declared that he
had borne four personal names
during his lifetime, namely, Slabs
Down, Turtle, Angry Bull and
Curley Bear. Of these, the first
two were bestowed in childhood,
Turtle being a term of endear-
ment conferred by his grandpar-
ents and the one by which he
was best known. The name An
cry Bull, also that of his father,
was given to Turtle by a COM
rade at Fort Smelling. The last,
Curley Bear, was the name OF
Turtles eldest brother and was
presumably adopted by Turtle
' after the latter's death.
! Mr.. Sherburne and the GIN
calendar are therefore both cor
rect in giving Turtle as the COM
monty known name of this In
dian. Mr.. Sherburne's belief,
however, that he never bore the
name of Angry Bull appears. in
view of Turtles own testimony.
contrary to the facts.

Why Sunday?

Why do most Christians observe
Sunday rather than Saturday? The
custom Of Sunday worship began in
apostolic times as a weekly com
memoration of Christ's resurrection
Most Christians have not regarded
this change of days as signifying
disrespect for the Commandment,
Remember the Sabbath Day to
keep it holy"

One Of the difficulties that we

the fact that root disease known

soon becomes established in the
soil. This means that you should
plant peas on new land each year,
land that hasn't grown any peas for
some time.

Hopes He Can Take
Tough Job in Stride
Like Mike DiSuIIe'
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor StoH Correspondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 81
President Truman has selected
Roger Lowell Putnam, Massachu-
SettS induStrialiSt, 70 be economic
Stabilizer.
The President got several re-
IfuSals before Mr. Putnam agreed
to try to keep the economic poll
cies of the Nation in shape in an
era of tremendous defense ex-
ipenditures.
His appointment must be sub
mltted to the Senate when Con-
gresS reconvenes in January, but
the administration apparently has
no doubt of his confirmation.
I The time consumed in filling
this key position emphasizes the
difficulty that the President has in
getting top-ranking executives for
Government jobs.
When Eric Johnston took over
the ESA job last January, it was
with the understanding that he
could give no more than nine
months to the assignment. Never
theless, he stayed on while the
administration tried unsuccess-
fully to get successor.
The new economic Stabilizer is
an industrialist and noted anna
teur astronomer.
MIR. Putnam also is a former
lthree-time Mayor of Springfield,
Mass, on the Democratic ticket
and nephew of the late president
of Harvard University, A. Law
renee Lowell.
He will assume office December
l. as a recess appointee. The job
pays $4,000 year.
Mr.. Putnam said he thought
condolences rather than con-
gratulations" might be in order
about his new job. 1t makes him
chief arbiter of prices and wages
Mr. Putnam So years old. He
was the first man in Springfield
history to serve three terms as
Mayor. He left Office in l943 tc
enter the Navy.
He told a reporter in Spring
field last night. the Associated
Press reported. that he hoped he
could take on his tough assign
ment with a smile of a man
like Mike Disable rotund and
Jovial price administrator. Mr.
Disable will be Mr.. Putnam s
right-hand man. and Mr.. Putnam,
as economic Stabilizer, will be next
down the line from Economic
Mobillzer Charles E. Wilson.
