Medicine Hole
Still Keeps
Mystery Hidden
By FRED W. MOORE
United Press International
Killdeer, N.D. - IUP1I - The
mystery of the Medicine hole
in the Killdeer mountains in
western North Dakota still
keeps its secret almost 100
years after General Alfred
Sully led his 2,200-man force
into Dakota territory to disci
pline 6,000 Sioux warriors.
His was a punitive expedi
tion, to teach the warring
Sioux, with all their squaws,
children and dogs, a lesson.
Sully's soldiers engaged the
Sioux camped at the foot of
Killdeers on July 28, 1864.
The entire camp fled in panic
up the ravines into the Kill
deers when Sully's forces at
tacked. As night fell, Sully had a
large band of Sioux sur
rounded atop one of the hills.
The next morning the soldiers
moved in to finish them off
but they were gone' Where?
About a week later, Sully's
army was miles west in the
Badlands when it met Indians
once again . . . the same In
dians! The facts confirm the first
engagement between Sully's
troops and Sioux warriors.
From there on legend lakes
' over-a legend that has been
I embellished over the years
because frontier soldiers of
the latter half of the Nine
. teenth century were known
- to be better fighters than his
torians. Indians Escaped
Legend says the trapped
Indians escaped down the
Medicine hole-named for the
smoky fog emitted on cold
mornings. They are suppuseu ,
to have traveled through a
network of underground cav
erns underlying western
Morth Dakota. 1
The Medicine hole actually
Is a small entrance to a nar
row, little explored cave that
extends down into one of the
high, steep hills in the Kill
deer mountains. Some sup
port is lent to the tale by the
fact that the Medicine hole
has been known to emit wind
from its mouth, pointing to
the fact that it must have an
other opening.
Weird rock formations, like
Signet rock, the Three Old
Maids, Eagle rock and others,
lend the region an air of mys
tery. Unsuccessful
Several attempts have been
made to explore the cave but
none very succcssiuuy. ...
1957, a group descended about
J75 feet down and found three
openings, all plugged with
rocks. The rocks were too
large to remove but the group
reported a strong steady
stream of air was blowing
from one of the openings.
Another cave was found
ebout a mile and a half away
which has never been ex
plored but the area residents
think it might be connected
to the Medicine hole. i
The Killdeer mountains
have yielded strange things.
One long-time resident of the
area says he found the bones
of two small Indian children
on a high, lonely ledge hidden
from view. In 1914, an old so -dier
found two spent cart
ridges he had killed two Indi
ans with while with Sully s
forces that day in 1864.

Utah 'Academy' Offers Program On Survival
Salt Lake City, Utah-UIPll-Utah's
thriving "Freedom
Academy" ranks as one of the
nation's top cram - courses
for high school boys on the
threat of communism.
The program will be three
years old this summer. It is
a project in which military
men teach civilians about na
tional survival. The money to
carry it out comes from pri
vate sources, but the Utah
National guard handles the
classes.
Maj. Gen. Maxwell E.
Rich, who set up the Free
dom academy program in
1961 believes the first two
years have brought "excel
lent" response with a mini
mum of criticism.
High school juniors from
every school in the state are
invited to the academy at
Camp Williams, the National
Guard's main training site
near Salt Lake City. The in
struction lasts five days in
August.
Varied Courses
Life at the camp is divided
between courses in apprecia
tion of American ideals and
traditions, the history of the
rise and spread of commu
nism, plus time out for swim
ming and sports.
"There is no hard - core
Prussian-type military train
ing at the academy." says
Rich. The students do stand
a formation in the morning
and evening to watch the
raising and lowering of the
flag, but there is no military
drill.
Enrollment was about 57
boys the first year and 130
the second. The juniors go
back to school in the fall and
present reports to other stu
dents on what they learned.
Rich, who is Utah's adju
tant general, discounted cri
ticism from some quarters
that the Freedom academy
amounts to military indocri
minion in political theory.
"11 certainly is everyone's
responsibility to alert the
nation," he declares. "We are
not trying to set up military
control here. Most of the in
structors are part-ime offi
cers who have civilian busi
nesses and not regular, full
time military men."
New York-IOT-Tax Founda
tion, which spends most of its
time complaining about rising
taxes, has taken time out to
explain that much of the rise
in state and local debt is legiti
mate and inevitable, the result
of leaping population growth.
Newbry Tells Club
State Will Come
To Sales Tax Plan
Ultimately the state of Ore
gon must come to a sales tax.
State Sen. Lynn Newbry said
in an address before the Med
ford Rotary club here Tues
day. Speaking at a luncheon
meeting at the Rogue Valley
Country club, the legislator
warned, however, that when a
sales tax is enacted, it will not
become a cure-all for all of
the state's financial ailments.
Senator Newbry also ex
plained his vole against the
proposed constitutional re
vision. Those who prepared
the revision of the constitu
tion had a mandate from the
people to reword but not com
pletely change it. The revision
as submitted almost complete
ly eliminated citizens' partici
pation, one of the bulwarks of
present government in this
state, Newbry said.
To Take Advantage
This state has been able,
through the years, to take ad
vantage of the best brains
available at little cost to tax
payers. "I cannot see why we
should lake such a departure
from a form of government
proven successful and free of
graft," he said.
A tribute was paid to the
lobby at the last legislative
session. It was one of the
cleanest in history of the state
and invaluable as a source of
useful information to mem
bers of the legislature.
As a member of the Ways
and Means committee, Sen
ator Newbry said that mem
bers of this group from both
the Senate and House were
determined to authorize no
expenditures unless well jus
tified by state agencies, and
to approve no funds that
would raise the present level
of state services.
One exception to the latter
was the provision to add wel
fare case workers in the inter
est of greater efficiency.
Another exception was the
authorization of funds to pro
vide more intensified treat
ment for mental patients. To
day the average hospitaliza
tion of patients has been re
duced to eight weeks. Citizens
now are back to useful citizen
ship rather than filling mental
hospital wards.
In discussing the work of
commissions admin istcring
dedicated state funds, Newbry
pointed out that added bond
issues for highway improve
ments were avoided and more
funds earmarked for actual
airport improvement assuring
the administration o fthe State
Aeronautics board.
With Oregon's income taxes
the highest in the nation, this
stale was at the crossroads at
the recent legislative session,
Newbry emphasized. An en
tirely new concept in taxation
must be devised. When it is,
the people must know the im
pact of taxes and should not
be fooled by something other
than an honest approach to
the unavoidable' problem.
