Richard Owens was in town !
yesterday < on a contest case. IIe j
says ! that it was a false report j ;
about him being drunk the timej j '
his team upset his wagon several i
weeks ago. He was driving home | '
inh the dark and having aoung j
horse < the team didn't keep j
road and upset the wagon onto |
Mr. Owens. lie , was pinned down
for four hours under the wagon i
and had three ribs broken u hen '

he , finally despairing of helpn
reaching him , told his horses to go i
and drove them up , dragging the

made application to join the M j

referred to the Head Consul of the
Grand Lodge. Mr. Giroux 's an
eighth-blood Indian and there has
always been some question as to
eligibility of the mixed-blood In
dians. ' If Mr. Giroux is admitted
there will be many others on the
reservation who will avail them
selves of Insurance in the M.\V.A.
Every few Jays wo see > ome
one loading bulky article.s onto
wagons to haul to Rosebud which
are charged a higher freight rate
by the railroad companies and we
wonder if the teamsters < ret a suit
able price for the bulky article- ;
they hauH They get a very low '
price ' at the best , we hear , and {
these articles that pile up a load !
and are inconvenient to handle ;
and i take care of on the trip should j
bring . them a suitable return for |
their tumble. It often seems to ,
us that the freighters are imposed '
upon because they are willing j
workers. It is perhaps true that- !
they get barely enough to make -
ends meet and oftentimes when
their wagons , harness or horses
are worn out they have little cash i
replace them unless they have I
some other source of assistance or j
income. Their feed bills are no ;
small part of their expense and
oftentimes they are caught on the
road in a storm and they mu-t go
all kinds of weather for they j
have he-ivy thai '
; expenses soon eat'
into their earnings when the I
teams arc not earning money ev- .
eryday. i
