TIIK NORFOLK AVKKKLY NKWS. .TOTIttNAlj. FRIDAY. DKORMRKR 31. Sugar Factory Buildings Free. Will you accept tlio old Norfolk nugar factory buildings , IncludlnK twelve lOO-horso power hollers In perfect - foct contlltlon , niul twenty acres of the best land NolmiHlm affords , as a gift ? Will you accept this property , worth thoummd of dollars , as a free dona tion to yournolf ? It's yours for the askliiK. Any porHon or persons who will In- ntall n factory In the old sugar fac tory bnlldliiKH at Norfolk , employing llfty people the year around and 100 people six months of the year , and operate the plant for twenty-live years , will ho given a clear deed to the buildings and twenty acres of ground. YoU can have the property free of rent right now. Start your factory , your pnckliiK house , or whatever other Industry you have In mind that will employ an average of llfty people the year1 around , and those buildings are ypurs , rent free , while you operate the plant. You , of course , to keep up the taxes. ' For the first time since the Ameri can Beet Sugar company removed Its factory from Norfolk to Lamar , Colo. , llvo years ago , the Norfolk Industrial company , composed of the Norfolk people who contributed the $150,000 to got the factory to como hero twen ty years ago , are in a position to re ceive propositions looking toward re- utilizing the old factory buildings. The title to the property has Just been turned over to the Industrial com pany and the officers of the company authorize the offer as made above. The property altogether Includes 1MO acres of land. That land Is worth probably from ? lfiO to $200 an acre. After giving away twenty acres of this land to the man who will start some thing In those abandoned factory build ings , the Industrial company would re tain 220 acres of the land and they are anxious to glvo away the building and twenty acres of land , In order to Increase the value of the balance of the land and thus , by selling it off , recover what portion they van of the $150,000 which they gave , back In 1890 , to the Oxnards to start a sugar factory hero. The main building Is a mammoth structure about two city blocks In length and proportionately wldo and high. Its walls are of brick and ce ment mortar and are two feet thick. The twelve 100-horso power boilers are In perfect condition , as are all the buildings. The Industrial com pany has employed men to keep up the property in order that it might not go to pieces and deteriorate. The plant stands on the bank of the Northfork river , which could bo uti lized for water power. A dam Is al ready built at the factory. The factory stands on a Northwest ern railroad spur , with an extensive switching yard at the plant. The property Is just a mile north of the city on the Norfolk-Dallas line of the Northwestern railroad. Among the types of Industries that liavo boon suggested as possibilities are : Packing plant , tapping north Nebraska and southern South Dakota live stock territory ; brewery , distil- cry , canning factory , glucose factory , starch works , etc. , etc. Norfolk being the metropolis of the entire northern half of Nebraska , and of a very rich agricultural and llvo stock region , the location is an Ideal ono for manufacturing purposes. The sugar factory was abandoned because the sugar company got Into trouble with the farmers during the early years of their operation here , over weights of beets , and created a soreness that never wore off. Later the farmers , who were getting rich at raising corn , refused to do the ex traordinary hard work involved in the raising of sugar beets , just as farmers have done in all other territories where corn can bo raised , and the factory had to shut down for want of beets. The American Beet Sugar company gave a clear title to the Norfolk people - plo who originally donated $150,000 to got the plant here , to the buildings and 240 acres of land. The deed was held for four years in order that the statute of limitations might run against any damage suits against the company for moving away. That time has now elapsed and the Industrial company , a corporation organized as a holding company for the title , IB ready to glvo the property rent free for twenty-five years and donate It absolutely after that time , to the man or men who will "make good. " It Is probably ono of the most re > markable offers over made In Arncrl ca. Junction News. Miss Claudia Leach of Oakdale came down yesterday to spend Christmas with relatives. Irene McCullen of Stafford' came down to attend the Christmas ball In Norfolk. Miss Desslo Etter , who attends college lego at Wayne , stopped off between trains yesterday for a brief visit wltli her uncle , M. Moollck , while on hoi way homo to Nlobrara to spend the holidays with her parents. "RUNS AGAINST UNCLE SAM. Lucrative Trade of Former Nebrvj kan Curtailed. Council Bluffs , la. , Dec. 24. Hurrj B. Wooding , who came to Councl ! Bluffs from Stella , Neb. , about three years ago , has recently ) como in con fllct with the postofflco departmonl and was the means of the issuance of fraud orders against companloi which he represented hero and ir Omaha , Wooding , in fact , being the entire thing in the alleged companies Wooding talked today about th < fraud order and of the causes whicl brought it about , and although he wai inclined to make light of the buslnesi which ho was engaged in at the tlmi the fraud order was issued , ho admit ted that at present ho was engagcc in a business of which he was mon proud than ho was of the manner In which his talents were formerly em ployed. Woodlng's experience with the pub lic and Incidentally with the postolllco department goes a long way to Illus trate the gullibility of a largo ma jority of the public. Wooding was a patron of the newspapers , and sam ples of his advertisements follow : As nature made them. Photos of beautiful forms. Scaled. 25 cents. For their money , senders received several photographs of a grove of .rocs. Those photographs , Wooding says , ho made In llanscom park , Oinii- in , and In the parks of Council Bluffs. "And , " ho added , "they were well worth the money. No deception about It , either. " Another advertisement of Woodlng's read : Night scenes In a hotel. Sealed. 25'cents. . In answer to this advertisement Wooding says ho sent photographs showing a man and woman arrayed in night gowns and engaged in conver sation. Nothing ouggcstlvo or bad about It , ho says. Wooding saya that the original of this photograph ho scv cured from a picture postcard which ho bought at a Council Bluffs drug store. store.Wooding Wooding talked at length concern- ihg the business. When asked how much money ho made at the work ho replied that ho really could not tell. "Then you kept no account of the orders you received ? " suggested the reporter. "No ; I was too busy for that , " laugh ingly replied Wooding. Wooding admitted that his mall was sometimes enormous during the six months that ho conducted the "busi ness , " and it is understood that the postal department returned hundreds of letters to the senders.

Warrior of Other Days. It Is nineteen years almost to a day since the last flicker of Indian warfare was snuffed out at Wounded Knee , De cember 29 , 1890. A span of more than forty years reaches back to the troub lous times when Red Cloud and his followers were open foes of the pale face. The drubbing which followed the Fetterman tragedy and later dras tic measures convinced the chief that the red man was hopelessly outclassed In the race for supremacy. But while outwardly at peace the heart of the warrior throbbed for the blood of the Invaders and his hands itcl * ) d for scalps. Shrewd , tricky , unreconciled to conditions he could not change , the subdued warrior maintained an out ward show of peace and counseled warring braves in methods of warfare. No wWte warrior of the west know the savage cunning of Red Cloud as did General George Crook. When the Rosebud campaign of 1876 began ono of the first moves of General Crook was to clip Red Cloud's wings by stampeding all the ponies of his tribe , a maneuver which prevented Red Cloud's active participation in that campaign. The death of Red Cloud calls forth much interesting comment and romln- isconces of his times in the west. r Newspaper obituaries of the old chief class him as "tho noblest Roman of them all , " a past master of Indian cun ning and "an intellectual giant of a vanishing race. " The Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican puts him on a ped estal with Brant , Red Jacket and Os- ceola , "those who have been states men and warriors In the long strife with the white Invaders and despoilers of their country. " The Baltimore American lifts him to the level of King Philip and Tecumseh , "as ono of the Indian immortals. " "Red Cloud , " says the Now York World , "was a wily but an honorable foe , a good fighter , but a man of his word when the tomahawk was burled. " "Ho had something of military genius , " according to the Chl < cage Post , "and with a command that was only half armed he fought well and valiantly for the country that be < longed to him. " When He Prayed. An Instance of his mental alertness in council is related by General How ard In a sketch of Red Cloud in his hook , "Famous Indian Chiefs I Have Known. " There was a "big talk" on between Indians and government rep resentatives at an army post. "A Christian gentleman , " relates General Howard , "opened the talk with a pray er , and when ho finished , Red Cloud said that the Indians prayed to the Great Spirit , so ho too would pray. Then ho asked the Great Spirit to for- the white man taking away the Indians' land and from wickedly de stroying their homes , where they and .heir fathers had lived for years and years. It was a wonderful prayer , and when Red Cloud sat down , every ono kept very still , for they did not know what to say. " , Indian White House. * The enforced absence of Red Cloud from the theater of war in " 7G and as indirect compensation for the ponies stampeded by General Crook , induced the government later on to build the ivarrlor a substantial two-story frame liouso at Pine Ridge , and painted it white. It was the most pretentious ilwolllng at the agency , standing near White Clay crook , and at the foot of a long range of buttos. Red Cloud watched the construction of his house with satisfied curiosity. Ho figured that it was a sort of pay ment for his ponies , for which ho had never received a penny. This bit of robbery , as he called H , rankled in the breast of the old fellow. Always a bitter enemy of the whites , this whole sale swoop on his herd sealed his hatred. When the house was finished the carpenters erected a polo In front of the house and hoisted the American Hag. The spectacle of the emblem flying above his own abode so angered Red Cloud that ho cut the halyard and tore the flag Into strips as soon as it fell fluttering to the ground. The staff stood In front of the house , but no one again tried to float the emblem from Its towering peak. Ono day many years ago Red Cloud was missing from the reservation. Not one of his family or followers know whither he had gone. At least they said so. Runners were sent here and there , but no trace of the old fellow could be found. Days passed , when finally the agent received a telegram from Washington to the effect that Red Cloud , dressed In a ready-made suit of clothes , had called at the white house to see the president on his own hook. Later it was learned that the aggrieved traveler Informed the execu tive that the agent was a baby , that his people were getting pickaxes in stead of beans for rations and that , above all other things , ho had not yet been paid for the ponies the troops had taken from him. A week later Red Cloud appeared on the reservation as unexpectedly as ho had disappeared. He had made the long trip without escort cert or permit and had made his ap peal single-handed and without the presence of a delegation of his tribes men , a custom which he held In con tempt. tempt.Red Red Cloud and McGllllcuddy. Of all the agents at Pine Ridge Red Cloud held but ono In respect. This was Dr. McGllllcuddy. He held the post for seven years , from 1879 to 1880 , and acquired a thorough knowl edge of Indian character. Soon after ho took charge of the reservation Red Cloud attempted to hold the officers In contempt. Ho oven wqnt so far as to laugh at the doctor's slender physique and to pooh-pooh the way affairs were being conducted In the agency office. One day Red Cloud was particularly offensive. McGllllcuddy , who was not courting trouble , but who is not afraid of the devil himself , took the pompous , conceited leader of the Ogallalas and pulled his big Roman nose and swat ted him hip and thigh. As Red Cloud emerged from the office door he was kicked in the most ample part of his royal carcass and sent sprawling upon the walk. From that time until Me- Gilllcuddy left the agency he and Red Cloud were the best of friends. So much did the Indian think of the doc tor , in fact , that he bestowed upon him the name of Thunder-ln-His-Neck , ob serving , it is supposed , the hoarse voice of the doctor. One night Red Cloud was sorely troubled with an obdurate liver. He called at the agen cy and told McGllllcuddy by means of signs and an interpreter that he was ill. Two doses of calomel were given the red man , who swallowed the pow ders and proceeded to make payment. When he was told that the medicine was free ho demanded two more doses , which ho tossed into his mouth. Later that night there were wild howls and grunts from the white house by the creek and It was nearly a week before "Old Red" appeared for duty. His face then looked like an old russet apple , so wrinkled and shriveled It was. So profoundly weak was ho that ho could smile but feebly to Dr. McGllllcuddy , who found the old man squatting on a knoll above the agency and gazing wistfully at the setting sun. At one time , in the Omaha council , Red Cloud openly abused the agent and berated the government of the agency. He afterward came to the doctor's office and apologized , saying that ho "talk ono way bucks another way Little Beard. " Red Cloud never had more than ono wife. His fellow chiefs had from two to a dozen. The doctor tolls an amus ing anecdote of the chief's first family trouble. Ono day the old man came to the doctor and said that ho had had trouble with his wife. Ho said ho saw that Mrs. Red Cloud was growing old fast and needed some one to help her about her work , so he bought a pretty Indian maiden , about 20 years old , and brought her homo. Mrs. Red Cloud made serious objections to the matrimonial menial arrangement and made the ob jections so forcible , with a big butcher knlfo that both the old chief and the would-be wife helper fled for their lives. A Trap That Failed. On several occasions during the latter tor part of November and through December comber , 1890 , Red Cloud visited the headquarters of the newspaper correspondents spondents then at Pine Rldgo to re port the progress of the difficulty. Red Cloud was decidedly downcast by thn constant reports of depredations com mitted by the hostlles , and lost no op portunity to counsel peace and use his nfluonco to end the trouble before the troops and Indians mot In bloody con- llct. Rod Cloud and his Intlmato friend , Big Road , loader of ono of the loworful bands which participated In ho Custor massacre , wore together al- nest constantly during this period , and wore frequently at the agency up to the day of the battle of Wounded Knee , December 29 , 1890. For some weeks previous and up to .hat day there were several thouoand so-called "friendly" Indians encamped about the agency. But the news of the battle , so distorted as to make It ap pear that Colonel J. W. Forsyth had disarmed Big Foot's followers , stood them In a row and shot thorn down like rats In a trap , caused the agency to jeeomo alarmed , and they at once stampeded to the adjacent hills , and nado every preparation for battle. Red Cloud's ' dwelling , a line frame building , stands a short distance north west of the agency building on the hot- , om lands along White Clay creek , and t was there that the larger portion of the stampeded Indians gathered , pre sumably for the purpose of coaxing Red Cloud to stampede with them and assist In avenging the death of Big Foot's horse. Some of the Indians opened flro on the agency , thinking no doubt that In the excitement of the moment the war spirit of the good chieftain would bo aroused sufficiently to Induce him to go with them. After exchanging shots with' the ; roops and Indian police for a time the Indians retreated , taking Red Cloud with them , he afterward Insisting that they forced him to accompany them. The next day word was received at the agency that the stampeding Indians were attacking and attempting to sack and burn the Drexel mission , located some four miles north of the agency , and the Seventh cavalry , Colonel For- syth commanding , was hastily sent out to drive the Indians from the vicinity of the mission , that the cavalry nar rowly escaped a repetition of the fate of Custer and his troops. The main position of the hostile camp was some distance ahead and hundreds of war riors were discerned running to and fro , but only a small proportion of the Indians showed fight , and for some time kept the troopers hotly engaged. The regular Indian method of light ing was adopted , the reds quietly sneaking to the tops of elevations and occasionally firing at the troopers , while they themselves were steadily retreating toward their village and slowly drawing the troops to what the Indians supposed would be their doom. A trap had been set for the soldiers , and before they were aware of their danger they were surrounded on al most all sides by high elevations. In stantly the tops of the hills became fairly black with the forms of what was evidently the entire force of the liostilcs and they prepared to close in on the troops. Colonel Forsyth Is un questionably ono of the best and most experienced Indian fighters In the army , and he saw the trap into which the troops had been drawn in time to avert serious consequences. Hurrying a messenger to the agency , the Ninth cavalry was summoned to the scene , and the Indians were soon forced to retreat before the combined forces of the Seventh and Ninth. Although Red Cloud claimed he was a prisoner In the hostile camp at the time , there wore many old squawnien and others at Pine Ridge who stoutly maintained that no ono but old Rod Cloud himself could have directed the Indian forces with the skill and cun ning displayed on that occasion. It was generally understood that to him belonged the glory , from an Indian standpoint , of the skillful management of the hostile forces on that day , and no one spoke more highly of that great generalship than the army officers and soldiers who participated in the fight. A few years ago , feeling the end approaching preaching , Red Cloud dictated and sent a farewell letter to Buffalo Bill , whom he addressed by the Indian name of Pe-Ha-Has-Ka. He said : "Tell my friend , Pe-Ha-Has-Ka , that it is Rod Cloud that talks to him by one of my people who knows white man pen sign. Will talk what I say to him with niy tongue and send by paper. Old ogallala chief , last chief soldier of Sioux , talks from heart to the White Eagle of Great Father's war riors. I want tell him old chief soon go to Manitou hunting ground never see Pa-Ha-Has-Ka more. I say we light men smoke pipe shake hands bury hatchet live same topee. My people follow whlto man's road.
