|’ FIRE-CRAZED . - down and everything intact except MONDAY, JULY 24, 1922 a THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BEAR FIGHTS WITH MULE Fire Routed Bear from Its Lair; It Collided’ with Mule; Fight Was On } MULE GOT THE DECISION Prince George, B. C., July 24.—| Two amusing bear stories, both vouched for by reputable eye-wit- nesses, are going the rounds here. Forest fires in northern British Columbia during the past month have had a peculiar effeet upon some of thé wild animals of the woods, judging from some of the stories brought in to Prince George. A™fight between a fire-crazed bear and a mule, in which the bear was worsted occurred at L, Mason’s ranch, at Bednesti, B. C. The for- est fire routed the bear from its lair, and in its dash from the flames into the open country it collided violently with a jack mule. The bear was promptly stretched out on the ground by a double tat- too from the capable hind hoofs, and the mule calmly resumed its interrupted grazing. Thoroughly angered, the bear picked itself up-and cautiously ap- proached the mule from a differ- ent angle. The huge paw was brought down with a resounding thwack on the mule’s ribs. This was unfortunate. The hoofs were again brought into play, after a quick, accurate manoeuvre ‘for po- sition, and the fight was called off so far as the bear was concerned. Mr. Mason, who had witnessed the unusual encounter, dashed to the house for. a rifle to\finish the bear, should any life be left. Be- fore he could get back to the scene, however, Bruin managed to get groggily to his feet and return to the less exciting environment of the forest fire. A fire patrol ranger is sponsor for another bear story. While mak- ing a survey in the mountain dis- trict, he came upon a.young cub Suffering from severe burns on feet and body. The youngster was whimpering from the pain and the | forester took pity on it, lifted it into his car and there made it fast with some rope. The patrolman started on his journey only to discover that the mother bear had appeared and was in hot pursuit. As the track ran uphill at this point, the bear, mak- ing long strides, gained steadily and the need for strategy was clear- ly indicated. The forestry book of instructions does not cover a sit- uation such as this, but the ranger was resourceful and decided that ‘the best plan would be to throw the cub overboard. His attempts to un- tie the ‘knots on the lashings which secured the youngster to the ma- chine, however, proved futile. Pur- suer and pursued came to a yet steeper grade, with the advantage all with the former. Finally, with one mighty effort’ the old bear threw herself on the back of the car, holding on by her claws and paws. _ This is where the forester de- cided to retire in favor of the en-| emy. He dove off the car, and re- gained his feet in time to see it continuing its, journey eastward, with a mother and child happily re- united as its passengers. Later! the automobile was found, run the side of the seat where the cub had been tied, the old bear having torn it out to release her offspring, Oe | The Weather ¢—-—_______4 For twenty-four hours ending at noon today: Temperature at 7 a. m 60 Temperature at noon. 1 Highest yesterday . 87 Lowest yesterday 61 Lowest last night 56 Precipitation .. 23 Highest wind. velocity 4 Weather Forecasts For Bismarck and vicinity: Gen- erally fair tonight and Thursday; not much change in temperature.

Historians point to this treaty be- tween the “whites” snd the Wahpeton and Sisseton Sioux as one of the most important events in the annals of the Northwest. ‘The act permit- ted this’ vast territory, now desig- nated as Southern Minnesota, to be opéned to settlement of the Sioux lands west of the Mississippi. river, and the rapid development of the state really dates from that: time. The signers of the treaty between the Indians and the whites was at- itended by elaborate ceremonies, which included the appearance of all chie of the various orial officials. The treaty for the whites was negotiated by Governo: Aléxander Ramsey and Colonel Luke Lea, while the Indians were represented by their various councils and chiefs. the ‘leading tribes, and te Considerable opposition was met on the part of the Redmen who hes- itated in giving away this vast do- main and former hunting grounds. The treaty comprised practically the entire southern section of the state, nearly 3,000,000 acres in Iowa, and more than 1,750,000 acres in South Dakota, in ill approximately 24,000,- 000 acres of the choisest land oh the continent, local officials say. For this vast area, the treaty stip- ulated that ‘the upper bands of In- dians should receive $1,665,000 and the lower bands. $1,410,000, money was distributed to chiefs, some set aside for agricultural pur- poses, and the balance held by the federal government as a trust fund, interest thereon only to be paid the Indians at the rate of 5 per cent annually for fifty years. No Liquor Sold to Indians. The treaty stipulated that no quor should be sold to the India’ Another article of the treaty pro: vided that the Sisseton and Wahpe- ton band should have a perpetual r ervation'ten mil de on each, side of the Minnesotz ex, extending from western boundary of the ceded lands to Hawk creck and the Yellow Medicine river; and the Medawakan- ton and Wahpekuta bands received & like reservation of the same width continuing down the Minnesota to the Little Rock river and to a line drawn south from its mouth’to the Cotton- wood river. The treaty was later rat- ified by the United States senate. 1 ing of this vast domain for settle- men by the white man, The state made no preparations to celebrate officially the event of 1851, when the treaty of Traverse d Sioux was signed, but many officials commented on the significance of the day. y - % PASSENGERS ARE TOURED DURING “TRAIN WAITS” uly 24—7An Minneapolis, Minn innovation in railry tourist, trav- el, scenic tours,of Minneapolis and St. Paul have’ been arranged for through sleeping car passengers during ‘the several hours wait: be- tween trains, by a major trunk line system.

D., July 24.—That the western half of South Dakota is a comparatively undeveloped country jand one which so far has received but little attention or help in the so- lution of the many problems and pioneers in any new country, is the declaration of ©. G. Worsham, as- sistant in the state department of agriculture. Mr. Worsham, who is in the cost of production section of the depart- ment in cooperation with the Jones County Farm Bureau conducted the first of a proposed series of farm surveys in Jones county early 4! is year. Cost and return, figures were gathered from 61 farms in various parts of the county, selected in a hit and miss manner to include both successful “and ‘unsuccessful farms, ‘The results have been published in a ‘department bulletin which is now ready for distribution. Conditions found in Jonés county are typical of many of the west river counties of South Dakota: ‘Despite the lack of information needed ‘by the farmers in this’ new territory, they have succeeded wonderfully well, Mr. Worsham declares. How- ever, he points out, many mistakes and hardships might have been avoided had the right information been available to them, 3 “It is to be hoped,” says Mr. Wor- sham in the introductory to the bul- lectin, “that this preliminary study in Jones county will show the need of extending to the farmers west of the Missouri river an increased in- terest and help in the business of developing and establishing farms on the virgin prairie.’ Although there is still a great deal of work to be done in the eastern half of the state, the farms there are older and consequently are better organized than those in the western half, They know more nearly the size of busi- ness that pays best, the variety and combinations of crops they can pro- fitably raise, and how much corn should be grown. Many Successful Farmers “West of the river there are many! successful farmers and a study of the organization of their business for a period of years would go a long ways toward establishing the principle of better and more profit- able ,farming in that area. By studying the methods of the most successful farmers it will be possi- ble for newcomers and others to pro- fit by the past experiences of those men’ who have successfully settled the country; it would give them an idea as to progress and ptosperity they could reasonably expect. “If it is desirable. to plow up these western prairies and to transform them into farms, then all the avail- able facilities of the state should be employed to help the people now on the land to develop a comprehensive program for the bringing in of new settlers and for advising and caring for them after they are located on the land. It is not enough to invite and urge them to settle on the prairie without personally looking after their interests and welfare while they -are establishing them- selves in their new homes and ad- justing themselves to new and strange conditions. “South Dakota has the interests of the western farmers at heart and will respond to their needs for as- sistance as quickly as to calls from other sections, but to intelligently render assistance the state must first of all inform itself as to what ‘is \actually being accomplished by ‘the farmers now on the land, the prog- ress they have made, and what the possibilities are for developing pto- fitable farms. The object of the study in Jones county was to set forth the facts as they were actually found on the sixty-one farms, show- ing the organization of the farms and the profits or losses resulting from the 1921 business,” COURTHOUSE CASE IS UP Judge: Nuessle Goes to Stan- ton for Hearing Judge W.
