The Court * Will Nee JiiNllee Done If

One Wny or Hie Other ,
There IM a great diversity of opinion
In Norfolk at present regarding the
Mhoiitlng of young Aultmnn by Olllcor
Pllgor during thn dromon's tourna
ment. Almost every permm who has
hoard of the case has a positive opin
ion and IH not slow about expressing
It , There Is the radical element on
|
OIIQ side that would HOO the young of-
Hear sent to the penitentiary for life
with evident pleasure , and the oppos
ing opinion of another element Is that
ho WIIH entirely justified und should
) lo the name thing ever again If the
oportunlty presents Itself , whllo there
Is a largo clans of people who believe
that whllo the taw may justify the
shooting the ofllcor nnd other olMcorn
should bo glvon to understand that the
reckless use of llronrmx and loaded
clubs IH just IIH reprehensible In a po
liceman as though ho wore n private
citizen ,
Certain It Is that few grips are
worth the lire of a man and for potty
offenses the punishment should not
bo as severe IIH though a serious crime
had boon committed , On the other
hand an olllcor should bo milllctently
determined to enforce n respect for
the law by law breakers.
It IH noticed that whllo there are a
largo number of Norfolk people who
regret the shooting nnd hold that the
olllcor should ho punished for taking
thn life of a man on n potty offense ,
there IH no division of sentiment
among those who have scant regard
for the olllcors nnd the law In any
event and If they tnko any would pro-
tor It In alopathlc doses. All these
are lined up In favor of seeing the of
ficer punished , not so much because
of what ho has done In this case , ns to
satisfy the animosity of those who
hnvo boon mndo to observe the sta
tutes and the ordinances against their
wishes.
And the radicals In the other posi
tion hold that the life of nn acknowl
edged gambler Is of no consequence
anyway , nnd Aulttnan should have
been shot , oven If his offense had boon
nothing more than the stealing of a
pin , nnd that his killing was a good
riddance , anyway.
Hack of It all Is justice unpreju
diced justice and the strong right
arm of the law may bo depended to
slfo the mutter thoroughly If It Is
brought before the courts and arrive
nt a Just and oqultahlo ilndlng.
Meantime the trials that the olllcor
and Aultmnn have boon receiving on
the Htroot corners may bo expected to
continue and one or the other or both
of them locolvo sentences that cannot
bo carried ut.

With the horses on the run and do-
mandtng the right of way from everyone -
ono mot on the road , a friend of Mr.
Shollpoppor of Stanton county
br'ought him Into Norfolk yesterday
from n point seven miles distant
where Shollpeppor had met with a
runaway accident that resulted In a
badly broken log and fractured rib.
The broken bono had pierced
through the llcsh and protruded
through the trousers of the unfortu
nate young man and In bringing him
to town with the foot of the Injured
limb resting on the floor of the bug
gy , every Jump of the way that brok
en bone sawed up and down through
the tender llcsh and Jammed In and
out through the cloth until when the
city was reached It was n horrible
sight to behold. The Injured man
was unconscious when town was
reached and It required some time to
rovlvo him.
Shollpoppor lived over In Stanton
county , about flftoon or sixteen miles ,
but the accident took place sovcn
miles out. It Is understood'that his
horse became frightened and bo tried
to quiet It by talking whllo ho under
took to hook a tug. The animal
kicked him and throw him to the
ground.
Ho was taken to Dr. A. B. Tashjoan
and afterward carried to the boarding
house of Mrs Marshall on Braasch av-
oniio. It was found that bosldo the
badly Injured limb Shollpopper had
sustained a fracture of a rib and ho
was badly bruised and hurt other
wise.
The doctor was of the opinion that
the limb should be amputated , after
such a serious fracture and the mak
ing of It worse after the 4-ldo to town ,
but the young man expressed a wish
to have the limb saved If possible and
his physician will do his best to as
sist nature In healing the terrible
wound.
The young man Is the second of his
family to suffer n serious accident In
a similar manner. Two years ago on
the Fourth of July his brother was
riding a horse that bolted and
brought ono of his legs In contact
with a barb wire fence. The nosh was
stripped completely from the back of
the leg , and should have boon ampu
tated at once , but In the effort to save
the leg , gangrene set In which quick
ly developed Into blood poisoning and
the young man died after suffering
some terrible agony.

Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong , who live
eleven miles northwest of the city ,
had an exulting runaway experience
yesterday as they were entering town
from the west on a shopping expedi
tion. As they wore coming down the
hill on Norfolk avenue near the Odl-
erne homo the neckyoko slipped back
on the tongue of the wagon , permit
ting the vehicle to run onto the heels
of the team. One of the horses was
a three-year-old and objected to the
encroachment of the wagon and the
team commenced to run. Mr. Arm
strong tried to turn them Into the high
bank nt the side of the road , but was
unsuccessful and the team gathered
speed , dashing down the hill nt a live
ly speed. At the Lulkart home the
horses turned Into the yard , dashing
through the tennis court and demol
ishing the fencing.
There the wagon was overturned
and the box tipped off , throwing Mr.
and Mrs. Armstrong and their two
sons to the ground. Mrs. Armstrong's
collar bone was broken and she was
rendered unconscious. Mr. Armstrong
had one of his hands badly lacerated
and cut by being dragged through a
wire fence. Ono of the boys got a
bad bruise on the arm and the other
was but slightly hurt.
In the wagon were fifteen dozen
eggs , fifteen pounds of butter , some
pumpkins and other farm produce ,
which wore scattered broadcast and
the eggs were broken and they and
the butter wore smeared over things
In general. The injured members of
the family were given attention by
th people living in the neighborhood
and the matter was straightened out
as well as possible.

During the Journey of from 200 to
400 miles , according to the location
of their homes , they travel nearly
forty miles each day. Sunrise finds
thorn breaking camp and forming Into
line to follow the leadorsshtp of Big
Head In his top carriage , with the
stars and stripes waving ever It.
ThoHO In his wake form a motley pro
cession , some In ordinary heavy pral-
rlo schooners , , others In lighter car
riages with willow boughs formed
Into n frame over which u tcntcloth
Is stretched for shade. Another wag
on has no shelter from the burning
sun , but the women are sitting on
the baggage In the wagonbox.
A In Colonel Seller * .
After several hours of driving the
leader finds a good turnip field ana
the procession Is stepped for u short
lost. The horses are loosened from the
vehicles to graze , and the women with
turnip diggers In hand are roaming
ever the hills to secure the roots of
the ttpslnna , which are a favorite food
of the Sioux. Those Indian turnips are
often enton raw , but more frequently
are boiled , after being dried. The
white epicure terms the raw turnip
dry , hard and tasteless , and the
cooked ones a slight Improvement ,
with a taste resembling sweet pota
toes. The Indian seems to thrive on
the food , oven when others fall.
While the women are thus occupied
th men gather In groups on a hill
side and talk and smoke until the
callers gives the loaders notice to
start. The main journey of the day
Is made before the noon rest , and a
shorter ride In the afternoon brings
them to nn early evening camp.
The end of ono or two weeks of
this overland travel brought them to
Poplar at the same time that the
train btought a largo delegation of
the native pastors and missionaries ,
who did not have the time to spend
on the road.
VlllliKC of TentN.
The village of tents is full of ac
tivity , with little children playing be
tween the tepees and the dogs every
where. After the morning meal the
people gather In a large group In the
center of the camp with their hymnbooks -
books , and , beginning with a Dakota
song which makes the whole camp
ring , they have their morning devo
tions. At least once each day a crier
goes about through the camp an
nouncing that fresh meat is to be
Issued by the commltteo of entertain
ment , or that the people can come and
get logs for tlrewood. . This crier Is
picturesque In his appearance , with a
broad-brimmed black hat over his
long braided hair. Ho Is one of the
"dancers , " as the non-Christian Indi
ans are called. The progressive Chris
tian Indians do not like to do the
calling , since It seems to them llko
one of their barbaric customs. Hence
ono of the heathen Is hired for the
purpose.
The Parliament Proper.
The Ptaya Owoglake , or religious
parliament , Is hold for four days ,
The tlrst morning service begins with
worship and enrollment of delegates ,
followed by an opening sermon by
Rev. Joseph Rogers , a native pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Devil's
Lake. The singing of the Dakota
hymns are inspiring , for the Indians
have good rich voices and put a
great deal of spirit Into their songs.
Most oft he tunes In their hymn book
of some one hundred and sixty songs ,
are our familiar English hymn tunes ,
but there are a good many which are
adaptations of the early native airs ,
which have been harmonized by the
missionaries. These airs are often In
n minor strain and with peculiar
changes , to which "white" ears are
not accustomed.
Meeting * for the Women.
The delegates represent the Presby
terian churches at Poplar and Wolf
Point , Mont. , Stssoton and Yankton ,
S. D. , and Devil's Lake , N. D. , and the
Congregational churches at Fort Ber-
thold and Standing Rock , N. D. ; Oahe
and Rosebud , S. D. , and Santee , Neb.
The afternoons are given to the wo
men's societies of the two denomina
tions , and the evening services are
young men's meetings conducted by
the Y. M. C. A. , of which Arthur Tlb-
betts Is native secretary.
In the evening the missionaries
gather In the parlor of Rev. Mr. Llnd-
sey of the Poplar mission. Those con
ferences are intensely interesting , for
here are the venerable Dr. Alfred
Klgffs of Santee , Neb. , and Dr. John
Williamson of Yankton. The latter
came to Crow Creek with the released
Indian prisoners from the Minnesota
massacre of 1862 , and there started
the first mission work of which this
parliament shows the wonderful
growth during these forty years. Dr.
Rlggs has a normal training school
at Santee ; Rev. Thomas Rlggs at
Oahe , G , W. Reed at Standing Rock
and Rev. C. L. Hall at Fort Berthold
have mission stations , and Rev. D , E.
Evans at Slsseton and Rev , H. T.
Smith at Wolf Point have mission
schools.
All I'roernllnKPi In Dnkotn. t
The meetings are conducted entire
ly in Dakota and by the Sioux them
selves , for there are many efllolont na
tive pastors In the delegation. Per-
hapx It would astonish many whlto
people to look Into the tout whore the
meetings are held and POO such n neat
ly di eased , lino-looking company of
men and women , the majority of
whom can road and write both Dakota
and English. To see such nn Indian
religious assembly as this Is to make
ono realize that the race Is making
progress and showing the results of
the many years of faithful work by
the pioneer missionary.
