They reported to their “boss,” Ranger Dick Willems of the state forestry service Friday, that they were sleeping soundly to the tune of the first rain in weeks, when bruin tackled the main tent pole and dropped the canvas. The noise they made in getting clear of the wreckage frightened the beast away. Willems said the men were from Omaha. He did not know their names. SOIL CONSERVATION PLAN CONTINUANCE Last Given in 1879, Torture of Primitive Ceremony Will Be Banned Fort Yates, N. D., Aug. 14—(#)— Ceremonial drums of the once mighty Sioux nation, stilled for 57 years, will beat out an appeal for rain to end drouth when Indians of four states gather at Little Eagle, 8. D., Aug. 22, to revive the ancient tribal sun dance. Called by Chief One Bull, 8-year- old Grand reservation Indian, nephew of Sitting Bull, final pledges for the ceremonial were made at a council of “medicine men” from reservations in North and South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska, held recently at Little Eagle, 40 miles south of here. The chant and drums of the sun dance have not been heard in the Dakotas since 1879 according to Frank Zahn, Indian interpreter and Indian historian of Fort Yates. Ban Seif-Torture Because the religious ceremony in- volved self-torture and often self- mutilation, Indian agents have ban- ned rites since the time redmen were confined to reservations.

Chief One Bull vowed before his people less than a year ago he would serve tribesmen as the last of the priests for the “greatest of all” Sioux religious rites. Then, when drouth came this year it was decided to also make an appeal for rain. The old warrior, who fought against cavalry troops under Maj. Marcus A. Reno in the troublesome Indian uprising days in the Dakotas, will be one of several living Indians who have participated in the original high ceremony of the plains. His body is scarred from days when he danced about the eacred stin pole, The rites list two days and two days prior to opening of the dance, Indians observe strict fast. During the period of the dance they take neither food nor water but climax the cere- mony with a feast. Before encroachment of white trad- ers and settlers, the sun dance brought torture to those who par- ticipated. “They often hung in suspension by leather thongs which pierced mus- cles of their chests and backs as they dangled from the sun pole,” Edward Milligan, Bismarck archeologist and adopted Sioux, said. “They remained suspended until the thongs were torn from their muscles by sheer weight of their bodies.;If a brave vowed he would slash his body, at the sun dance he performed the act, dancing until he dropped.” Hundreds to Attend Milligan believed there would be many offerings made at the Little Eagle ceremony which he said would be attended by great numbers as the majority of Sioux Indians have never witnessed the ceremonial of their an- cestors. t Chief One Bull was a visitor at Bismarck’s Pioneer Days celebration July 3, 4 and 5 where he astounded spectators by his agility and ability to keep step with the younger war- tiors. In charge of arrangements for the dance is Chief One Bull's grand- daughter, Mrs. Margaret One Bull 25 Pennies and Revolver Loot of Marauders Believed to Be ‘Kids’ Hazelton, N.

They were home Friday—and Tommy didn’t need the operation. The happy endirig came Thurs- day night when Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Dunklin drove in unex- pectedly, amazed to find all the excitement their absence had stirred, but happy to find Tommy “out of danger.” Five physicians had agreed an operation was necessary, but recognized the absence of the parents as an obstacle to be re- moved only by the sharpest emer- gency. Then the boy rallied.

Duluth also reported a trace of rain while north of Warroad, where a ser- ious timber blaze burned Thursday, forest rangers reported showers aided them in combatting the flames. Grover Conzet, state forester, said the general situation was “greatly ime proved.” The four major fires at Mce Grath, Tom Lake, Warroad, and the Kabetogama district, were believed un- der control. Lack of Calls Good Sign Lack of telephone calls from the fire area, A. F. Oppel, deputy state for- ester said, “was @ good sign that the situation was pretty well in hand.” A turn of weather conditions, in- cluding high humidity and subsid- ing winds, worked to the benefit of laboring crews on the far-flung fire front, reports indicated. The state’s Describe Ship’s Blazing Drop to Earth three principal blazes were described as held within bounds.

They said the plane, a bomber, was on a practice flight from Langley field. C. T. Crump, a resident here, said he saw the plane fall. said it resembled a huge comet, with a tail of fire. The bodies were burned beyond recognition. One of the victims was thrown clear of the plane, the body being found about 20 feet from the wreck. The cause of the fire and crash could not be learned immediately. Flinn was “shaky” after his narrow escape and was not able to give many details. Officers said, he said he landed with his parachute about 300 yards from the spot where the plane struck, and dashed to the burning wreck. He said the heat was 50 in- tense, however, that he could not reach the crew. Flinn said the pilot ordered the crew to bail out, but that he alone was able to get out of the plane.
