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.

Old Indian Villages and Relics
, Are Discovered in South Dakota
University Party Locates Granite Boulder of Thunder Bird
Legend, Which No White Man Had Ever Before
Been Able to Find.
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."

Hasting* Ex-Mayor Says Corn
husker State’s Resourees
Must Be Better Advertised.
Hastings. Nob., Oct. 10.—Paid pub
licity by the state and the different
communities of Nebraska was urged
by former Mayor Madgett in an ad
dress at the chamber of commerce
luncheon, to counteract draining of
this state along with others by the
publicity of California.
Mr. Madgett, who recently returned
from California, drew a gloomy pic
ture of what California has to offer,
in comparison with the greater op
portunities to be found In the middle
west.
“On my arrival In San Francisco
the first tiling to Impress me was
■California Incorporated.’ which had
a campaign on to raise 15,000.000 for
advertising that part of the state,"
Mr. Madgett said.
"California Is all publicity and some
of It Is criminal," he continued.
"Thousands and thousands of people
hare lost their all In widely adver
tised schemes that have no merit.
"The mlddlewest. with its wonder
ful resources, must wake up and meet
this propaganda face to face and In
form the public, through the press of
the facts as they really exist."
