the thousand or more delegates to the
nternatlonal convention of the Broth
erhood of St. Andrew here last week ,
none attracted more attention than the
delegates from the Sioux Indian reser
vation in the northwest.
Probably the strongest of these
chapters is among the Santee Sioux .
of Nebraska , which was represented
by Thomas H. Kltts. Joseph A. Kitts ,
Edward Eastman and William Holmes.
The Lower Brule , S. D. , Sioux were
represented by Rev. Luke C. Walker.
Thomas Hf Tuttle represented the
.
chapter at Crow Creek agency and
Alfred C. Smith came hero from
Greenwood , S. D.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrews
has been active in Us work among the

.
bership of the Santee chapter is said
to be about sixty , and the average
membership at other agencies about
thirty.
The foundation stone of the cathe-
.
of Saints Peter and Paul at Mount

HANS WRITES A BOOK.
Old Railroad Detective Tells of the
Habits of Sioux Indians.
World-Herald : Anyone who Is ac-
qalnted with the history of Fred M.
Hans , scout and Indian fighter ; anyone
who is familiar with the expeditions
against the Indians in which he has
f
taken so prominent a part , must neces
sarily be surprised at the deep sympa
thy which he reveals for the red man
In his book recently published , "The
.
Great Sioux Nation. " Throughout that
Instructive volume there Is an under
tone of profound feeling for a people '
which has suffered so many wrongs ,
which has been so misunderstood and |
which has never known fair dealings ;
at the hands of the white man.
It were an easy matter for the cap
tious critic to point out technical and
L
even grammatical defects in that work
of Mr. Hans , yet no ono can read it
without gathering more Information
about Indian customs , more illuminat '
ing facts about the Sioux and a deeper
insight Into the character of the Sioux
than from anything else which has over
16'been published.
Fred Hans knows the Indians.
From actual experience among the
tribe's people , ho knows them. Ho }
knows their habits , their history , their
language , their hatreds , their cunning ,

The Shearer homo was in Norfoh.

door east of the homo of L. Subsioiib.
Mr. Shearer at that time operated a
ranch near Tilden. Later the family
moved to Holt county , about twenty
miles south of O'Neill.
Unusually Sad Circumstances
Unusually sad circumstances attend
ed the fatal accident last week. Mr.
and Mrs. Doherty bad been married
but a year and only five months of that
time had they lived together , owing to
the fact that Mrs. Doherty , a victim
of tuberculosis at the time of their
marriage a year ago , spent seven
months in California for her health ,
Mr. Doherty attending to bis duties as
physician-nurse In the Presbyterian
hospital in Chicago. His bride had
fully recovered her health and flve
months ago was able to return. It was
thus in his honeymoon that the groom
was accidentally shot to death. Mr.
and Mrs. Doherty , who were visiting
with his parents and with her parents
near Chambers , were just planning to
return to Chicago and to build there a
beautiful home. The accident victim
was a graduate of Rush medical col
lego and was considered one of the
rising young physician nurses of Chi
cago. He had at different times nursed
men of national prominence.
Was Hunting
Mr. Doherty was hunting when
killed. His body was found with two
shotgun wounds. In the hands was a
knife by means of which he was at
tempting to loosen the ejector blade
of the gun. The accident was purely
accidental , according to reports re
ceived In a letter received in Norfolk.
Information concerning the sad trag
edy was received in Norfolk by Mrs.
M. W. Beebe , whose parents live near
the Shearer home. The letter came
last night. E. D. Hammond also re-
celved word from O'Neill that the
shooting victim was the same Dave
Doherty who used to bo known In
Norfolk. Mr. Doherty frequently vis
ited here.
Mr. and Mrs. Doherty had planned
to leave for Chicago the next day after
the accident. The day of the tragedy
Mr. and Mrs , Doherty had been out for
a hunt. Returning , Mrs. Doherty
stopped at the home of her parents ,
while Mr. Doherty went on toward the
homo of his brother. The next seen
of lilm was when his brother , riding
through the grove , came upon the man
gled remains. The victim had been
r"shot twice. Ono charge had almost
shot off his face , the other had entered
his heart. A knife in his hand showed
that bo had been working at the ejects -
or.
Both Well Known Here.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Doherty were
well known In Norfolk. People at the
hospital and around town remember
David H. Doherty and ho had many
friends here. The Shearer family is
also well remembered In Norfolk
There were three daughters Miss
Emma Shearer , Miss Florence Shearer
and Miss Katherlne Shearer. All three
married within the past couple of
years. Miss Emma Shearer was as-
slstant librarian at the Nebraska unl
verslty from 1900 to 1904. Mlas FJor
once Shearer studied { n. Lincoln also
at that time.
LOOK FOR TRIPP OPENING NEXT
SUMMER.
.
| MUCH VALUABLE LAND IN IT
Up to the Present Time 500 Indians
Have Been Allotted Indians Are
Slow About Changing Their Allot
ments Will be Big Rush.
Omaha. Neb. , Oct. 5. "It is BOWB !
work , this allotting of Indians , " snld
Charles W. Owen , who Is ono of the
crow of seven men who have been
working for the pant four months un
der the direction of John II. Scrlvcr ,
an allotting agent of the Indian depart
ment. Mr Owen was speaking of the
work in Trlpp and Meyer counties of
South Dakota , where a tract of about
500,000 , acres will be subject to home
stead entry probably by the middle of
next summer. Before that time , how-
ver , all of the Sioux Indians from the
Uosebud reservation who have not yet
taken their land must have made their
elections.
"Up to the present time , " Mr. Owen
tdded , "we have allotted 500 Indians ,
flip work Is slow for this reason : In-
Hans who have made poor selections
if land in Meyer county are given the
irivllege of making new selections In
frlpp county The tribes people are
in no hurry to get their land ; In many
instances they dn not oven go to see
the land , but send representatives to
pick it out for them.
"After all the Indians have been al
lotted , there will bo left something like
5,000 claims. This land will bo opened
for settlement under act of congress.
As usual , there will bo a drawing , and
people holding lucky numbers will be
privileged to file first claims. For nine
ty days tHey can buy the land at $0 $
an acre ; during the next six months
fter that , land can bo bought at $4.50
in acre , and after that period , home
steaders can buy the land at $2.50 an
* cro.
"At the Bonesteel opening there were
10,000 acres subject to entry. At the
next opening there will bo more than
jotiblo that area which will bo home
steaded. In Tripp county there is
some very excellent land. There wll
many hundreds of claims which
people will bo eager to get. "
Mr. Owen , with his real estate part
ner , Mart Coffman of Dallas , S. D. ,
ias been at the Arcade hotel during
he carnival. They left Thursday
morning for South Dakota.

NEBRASKA TEAM HARD AT WORK
loach Cole Whipped Cornhuskers Into
Shape for South Dakota Game.
Lincoln , Neb. , Oct. 5. Pigskin prac
tlce at Nebraska university in prepara
tlon for today's clash with the Soutl
Dakota coyotes slowed down because
.of unfavorable weather. Perslsten
' rains have converted tUe gridiron into
a mud-wallow , chasing Coach Cole's
pupils the first day onto a 2x4 grass
plot on the university campus and the
next compelling them to hike for the
university farm , where the spacious
; reen permitted at least a semblance
of satisfactory practice. The weathe
man , however , finally brought clear
skies and the cornhuskers are again
going through their daily classes un
der Cole on Nebraska field.
The work of the varsity performers
has been decidedly ragged in spots
and Coach Cole is pushing his pupils
at a etlffer pace than ever in order to
make sure that the South Dakotans
who are touted as having a spunky
iloven this year , may not deftly hand
him a package of surprise. The new
Nebraska coach , who Is a graduate o
the school of Yost at Michigan , Is a
firm believer In the hurry-up policy
and his cornhusker proteges arc find
ng to their complete satisfaction tha
such a thing as loafing is not in their
new mentor's program.
Special attention Is being devotee
o developing the varsity defense
Cole soon found that the scrub squad
was lacking In its ability to make head
way against the first team and he hi
ipon the plan to transfer the bulk o
ils substitutes to the second team line
ip , with the result that the two elev
jus have been nearly evenly matched
n general effectiveness. Thus strength
3ned , the second team has been mak-
ng existence fairly miserable for the
first eleven , while ginger has been
added to the proceedings by the fac
hat the first team subs are pitted
against the regulars , each fighting for
a place on the varsity lineup. Cole
11 continue this program until the
eve of the South Dakota game and by
that time ho expects to bo able to pick
ils first team as It will likely go
through the full season.
Beekley Back in Game.
Recent additions to the squad are of
an encouraging tendency. For a week
or more Cole has been worrying over
the apparent scarcity of substitute ma
terial for the backfleld. The acquisi
tions In question are Beekley and Per-
rln. Beekley was a member of the
cornhusker squad two years ago and
was slated for fullback , but a badly
wrenched shoulder compelled his re
tirement before the season had fairly
started. The fact that Boekley IB a
very fair punter gladdens Cole , as the
new man can thus substitute for cap
tain Weller In case of the latter's In
jury and take care of the kicking
Perrln was a sub last year and l < wks
good this fall as a substitute for Bur
nett , Cole's regular at right half.
Johnson , a husky line sub. has b < en
transferred to the backlleld on the
second team and has already shown
that ho can plough through the varsity
for substantial gains. Beekley and
Perrln , hahincihftscalf q nt 175.
while Johnson tilts the beam five hot-
Iter. The addition of this trio to the
imeldleld squad makes the cornhusker
outlook Immeasurably better.
The coach , meanwhile , has sent five
tore players to the training table ,
imklng eleven In nil. The now ones
ru Frutu , Collins , Burnett , Minor and
Croger. Crnlg IB the only ono of the
leven possible as a selection for end
, nd the personnel of the roll at the
raining table shows that Cole Intends
o take his tltno In picking his men
'or that position. The ends , In fact ,
\ro the only positions giving Cole any
erlous concern , as the rest of the var-
| Ity | lineup seems settled.
Secret practice Is to bo Inaugurated
arly next week , although the gatea to
ho field are to bo thrown open oc
casionally to permit the student root-
jrs to ( llo into the stands to absorb
nthushism for the coming conflicts.
The crucial contest with Minnesota is
only two weeks distant and Cole IB
illuming to drill his men In a surles
of formations for special use against
he gophers , taking care that prying
yes shall not view the proceedings.
Graduate Manager Eager Is still ap-
icarlng in a dual role , the task of as
sistant coach also falling upon his
shoulders. The manager has hoisted
he distress signal , claiming that ho
cannot aid In the coaching without In-
ury to his managerial duties , and the
ithlotlc board is striving desperately
o secure a competent assistant to

LINCOLN STAR COMPLIMENTS
MADISON COUNTY.
FOR GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
Statewide Interest Has Deen Concert-
trated Upon the Good Roads DullC
During the Past Year or So In Thl
County of Nebraska.
The leading editorial In the Llncolw
Dally Star of Friday , OcL 4 , polntctl
out to the people of the state the fact
that Madison county has been unus
ually prngroHHlvo In the matter of good
roads. The Star In this way paid o-
slncero compliment to Madison county
people In general and the present
board of county commlHBlonora in par
ticular. Thin IB what the Star said :
There IK mime Inspiration In the fact
that ( the Norfolk , Nob. , NOWB IH warm
ly | supporting ono of the Madison
county coinnilBHloners for reelection-
because j ho has been a good roadit en-
thuHiitHt. It IB too often the case that
good roadn and good bridges are tha
last things that county coiiiinln.Mlonerit
appear to think about. The NOWH well
says that the board of which this nina
is a member , "by Insisting upon good
roads , IH entering a campaign which
will mean the Having of huiitlretlH of
thousands of dollars to the farmers of
MadlHOii county In hauling their pro
duct H to market. "
That assertion may well bo applied
to every county In the state. The
amount of benefit that would accrue )
to the farmers of Nebraska It all of
the hlghwiiyn and bridges were kept
in good condition cannot bo OHtlnmtcd.
Such work , coiiHlHtontly and carefully
done , would practically double the ,
agricultural advantages of the state.
Some day the farmora will see It that
way and will elect commissioners upon ,
good roads platforms.
