Hunters Flock to Sandhill Region More Sportsmen in Western . Nebraska Than for Sev eral* Years, hfeport. Hastings, Neb., Oct. 10.—More than 1,200 hunting and fishing licenses have been issued so far this year by (County Clerk Cates, all to Adams county people except four. Probably in no recent year have I there been so many people bunting and fishing in western Nebraska as in the last few weeks. Practically ail towns of any size In the sandhills have attracted hunt ers. One. man returning from a northwestern county said that at some road intersections far from the nearest town It was necessary to watt for some times as many as a dozen cars containing hunters to pass. Rains have materially interfered with fishing In the last week or so. and because there have yet been no cold days, it is said the flight of ducks is too high for satisfactory shooting.

Vermillion, S. D., Oct. 10.—The dis covery of old Indian villages, sites and skeletons of the early Indian in habitants of South Dakota as well sb an interesting collection of stone im plements and shell ornaments, are the results fit an expedition sent out early this summer by the University of South Dakota to investigate and study the natural history and archae ology of the state, according to the report of Assistant Curator W. H. Over of the university museum. Pro fessor Over, with Mrs. Over and Maurice Kirby, has returned to Ver million after a two months' trip through the eastern part of the state. "Large groups of Indian mounds were discovered along the James riv er at Redfield and Mitchell and at Lake Tetonkalia near Bruce.” the re port said. "It la belived the group at Redfield is the western limit of the Indian habitation of the Mound Builders in South Dakota. On a high bench land overlooking Flreeteel creek at Mitchell was discovered a fine old Indian village site revealing a culture diferent from and more re cent than that of the Mound Build ers. Heads on Skeleton. “At the south end of Lake Tra verse In Roberts county fine mounds were excavated and several skeletons of these early Inhabitants were col lected, besides many stone imple ments and shell ornaments. An in teresting discovery was several articles made of native copper, which originally came from the Great Lakes region, taken from two of the mounds and about 20 beads found around the heck of one skeleton. The copper had been hammered with a stone Into thin strips, cut into small sheets and roiled into beads." Another interesting event, accord ing to Prof. Over, was meeting Sam uel T. Brown, sr.. an educated quar terbreed, SO years old. and for whom the valley and town of Brown's Val ley, Minn., was named. ‘ This venerable old man. who has been an invalid for many years, still la able to recall many ihterestlng stories connected with the early In dian history of South Dakota and Minnesota.” Prof. Over said. "He spoke of the legend of the Thunder Bird of the Sioux Indians and said that the large granite boulder was lo cated only a few miles from Brown's Valley, hut that no white man had ever been able to find It, and that I only a* very few of the older Indians knew of It. Find Thunder Bird Stone. "The university party, accompanied by William H. Jensen of Brown's Valley, who knew well the surround ing country, hut who had many times searched for the stone In vain, set out and In a short time found the boulder on a high hill about five miles west of the south end of Lake Traverse. "Two tracks on the stone are really the prints of human hands, one of four fingers and the other of seven, that have been pecked Into the boul der by Indians of a culture much older than that of the Sioux. The fingers are extended toward the west, while, as the legend runs, the toes of Thunder Bird should point east, as he was supposed to have been flying toward the Great Lakes and alighted on this boulder to rest. The older Sioux will always cherish the thought that these nre the track* of Thunder Bird."
