. They openly admitted going on
tho war-path and killing the herder. A
detachment ot the two troops of caval­
ry stationed at the Agency, assisted by
some Northern Cheyennes, made
search for the body. It was found on
the evening of September 9, and had
been scalped.
Fearing trouble, three additional
troops were hurriedly sent from Fort
Keogh, Montana, and the Agent called
a council of the chiefs and head-men,
demanding that they arrest and de­
liver the murderers.
Two Moons, the war chief, battle-
scarred and old, pleaded for the young
braves, offering a ransom of thirty
ponies for the dead herder. This was
declined. Chief Amelcan Horse then
arose and said his warriors would
fight if the soldiers attempted to take
the young braves alive; and that their
final message was:
“Select the place of meeting, and we
will come and die in your sight, fight­
ing the soldiers.”
The council was dismissed, and the
Indians returned in the evening to
their lodges in the hills south of the

for additional reclamation w’ork.
Would Create Thousands °f Homes*
This plan of developing the internal
resources of the country and making
homes ot wasto places, is splendid in
its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
instance, the singlo examplo of the
swamp lands of tho Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres of the
very richest of bottom lands, but sub­
ject io overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reelaimd
through expensive private drainage
works, when they have become worth
$100. and $150. an acre. Yet it is es­
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at a cost
in tho neighborhood ot $10. an acre.
The sama can be said of the lands ot
the Red River Valley in Minnesota.
These include the finest grain and
farm lands in the northwest excel t
that they are frequently overflowed. It
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy tliece lands in small tracts, to
have a perfect system of drainage pro­
vided. These extensive systems, how­
ever, especially where they are int r-
state, seem to be feasible for handling
only by the general government.
The Steenerson bill places tho en­
tire management of the work in ti o
Reclamation Service and the plan of
operation follows very closely tho ir­
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
Government lands, ceded Indian lan s
and prlvato lands may be included in
any drainage project, but In each caso
the cost of the drainage Improvement
is to bo borne by the owner of tho
land and no settler can have drainaro
provided for more than 160 acres, thus
insuring tho division of the tracts in»-)
small farms which must be actually
settled upon and tilled.
