OLD TRAPPER TELLS OF INDIAN BATTLE

A. A. DINSDALE SELLS FOR CASH ONLY

Hugh Leiper, one of the few pio­neers of the state left, who have seen the transition from the home of the buffalo and the hunting ground of the Indian to a peaceful farming com­munity, is in the hospital at Dickin­son with a dislocated hip. As the in­jury heals, rapidly too in spite of his age—the old time hunter, trapper and freighter tells most interesting stories of his early experiences.

The battle of the "Adobe Wall' in the Panhandle country in the early eighties, is described by Alfred Henry Lewis in the "Sunset Trail." Leiper was there. He and Charly Trask were hunting buffaloes and, as was the custom and only comparative safety, stopped at the fort. There were some twenty men there, most of them buffalo hunters like themselves. One man had a habit of getting up very early—nobody knew how early— and scouting around. One morning when this fellow looked out, he spied heads bobbing up here and there on the horizon and did not need to be told the Indians were coming. He called his companions but they did not heed. When he looked again the Indians were swarming over the hill? in all directions and forming for an attack. The cry, "For God's sake get up, the Indians are upon us," brought his sleepy comrades from their beds and none too soon. Knowing the In­dian's ruse of hanging on the side of his pony when riding to attack, Leiper gave orders to wait until the Redskins were close and then fire at the ponies, reserving a second shot until the Indians, having played pos­sum a minute or two, started up to make a get-away. This worked out fine and they cleaned out the attack­ing bunch without losing a man. But more came up and it had to be done all over, again and again, and they were kept prisoners in the fort for two days, the Redskins hop;ng to starve them out. Two negro freight­ers got caught outside the fort and were picked off by the Indians and scalped along with their dog, and in return a negro who was with the In­dians and whom they sent to get the freighters' goods was killed from the fort. One of the garrison who volunteered to go for aid, succeeded in evading the Redskins and gave the alarm at the nearest fort. A troop of cavalry came to the rescue the third day but the fight was all over.

a total of $90.40. These costs have increased. This emphasizes the need of keeping the horses busy and of having no idlers on the farm.

The best results from manure will be secured when it is hauled direct to the field, 6 to 8 loads per acre, to be plowed under for corn or top dressed on pasture or grass land. It will benefit these crops and also the grain crops that follow. When fresh manure is to be applied to a grain crop top dress with it 6 to 8 loads, or if rotted manure is available, it can be plowed under. On the North Dakota Experiment Station Farm, manure applied to corn land 6 loads per acre, has increased the corn and the following three wheat crops enough to make a return of $1.50 per load.
