INTERESTING GATHERING.
(ireat Assemblage of Christian In
diana at Fort Yates.
Becently at Fort Yates there was a
great gathering of Indians who are
members of eitiier the Presbyterian
or the Congregational church, the
assembly lasting about a week. A
letter from Fort Yates to the Bis
marck Tribune gives an interesting
account of the gathering. These as
semblies have been held nearly every
year since 1R72, and this one was by
far the largest on record. They are
held for the discussion of doctrines,
morals, and the business matters of
churches. Meetings of the men and
of the women were held separately,
and there were also mixed meetings.
All meetings were led by the Indian
workers, and all proceedings were car
ried on under parliamentary rules.
The 3,000 Indians were camped about
a mile south of Fort Yates, and the
510 tents were arranged in a big cir
cle, some two miles in circumference.
The large audience-tent was on the
western part of this field.
Just after sunset, as the twilight
was giving way to the darkness, the
different churches had their vesper
services in front of their tents. From
here and there over the field the old
fashioned songs could be heard, and
if one was near enough the words in
the language of the Dakotas could be
recognized. After a couple of quiet
songs and a short prayer in their
tongue they went to their tents and
tepees and made ready for the evening
services.
The feeding of the crowd was a big
undertaking. Twenty-three beeves
were killed, and ten more were in re
serve to lie butchered and used if
needed. Then, too, $700 was spent on
flour, bacon, rice and other food mate
rials. There were at this conference
many noted Indian ministers, who
preached with force and vigor, using
many gestures in giving illustrations.
John Eastman, the older brother of
Charles Eastman, the writer and phy
sician, was conspicuous in the lead as
a forceful speaker. The choir of six
teen mixed voices were equally adept
with the English and the Dakota
(Sioux) songs. The teachers who are
devoting their lives to christianizing
and civilizing the Indians were there
—Mr. Williamson, Mr. Biggs, Mr. and
Mrs. Bead, Miss Collins, and others
who are active in the work.
A Lucky Little One.
At Williston, recently, Mrs. Gust.
Haval poured kerosene upon the fuel
with which she was starting a fire and
which she thought was unlighted.
An explosion followed which envel
oped her in flames. She ran up and
down the alley, fanning the flames
until she fell senseless. A little babe
sitting near by was slightly burned.
Mrs. Haval will die. Aneight-months
old child crawled alone from the
burning home, which took tire from
the scattered oil.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
By the I:xplosion of a Can of Kero
sene Two Little Innocents Are
Burned to Death.
Both ol the Babies Are Frightfully
Burned and Die Within an
Hour of Each Other.
Since the Spicer murders, more than
ten years ago, the lleconl has not been
called upon to chronicle a happening
in Emmons county so pathetic In its
nature as tlie accident of Wednesday
by which two innocent little children
died by that most horrible of all
deaths—burning.
Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. IVler
Dirk, living in the soutlieastern part
of town, went to visit her neighbor,
Mrs. David Krieg, near by. With her
were her two children, John and Am
brose. During the afternoon the
children, with Katharina, a little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Krieg, went
overto the Dirk premises to play.
About 4 o'clock John M0I111, who
lives next door to the Dirk home,
heard a loud noise—louder than Lite
discharge of a gun. lie was doing
some lathing in a back ro un. lie had
no idea that anything serious had
happened, but from curiosity started
to the front door of the house. As he
passed a window toward the Dirk
house he saw flames through the
screen of the window, but lie
could not sec what was burning. As
he went out of the door a sight such as
he never wishes to again behold burst
upon his view.
Running fleetly loward tlie Krieg
house, where he knew his mother was
visiting, little John Dirk, five years
old, was a mass of flames. Mr. Molin
pursued and caught him. He tore the
clothes from the boy, gave him into
the hands of others who had arrived
and started for Dr. Ilogue. He knew
nothing of what was happening inside
the Dirk house.
Flames were seen inside the kitchen
of that house by others who came,
and those wiio rushed in to subdue
them fiiund poor little Katharina
Krieg, twenty-six mouths old, in tlie
midst of tlie lire.
The children were quickly taken
to the olllce of Dr. Ilogue, who at
once gave an opinion that it would he
impossible for them to survive.
The little girl, Katharina Krieg,
died about o'clock p. 111, and the
little I) y, John Dirk, about an hour
later. |§|i
As nearly as can lie ascertained tlie
story of the sad afl'air is as follows:
The children, having l«rt their
mothers at tlie Krieg residence, went
over to the Dirk house. They con
cluded that tlaey would build a lire
and roast some unsiielled com. They
went outside and secured a two
gallon kerosene can nearly full of oil
that was under the porch. It must
have been that they had started the
tire and it, had failed to burn or they
thought it wasn't burning fastcnough.
There were three of the children pres
ent: but one of t.hem, Ambrose Dirk,
three years old, received only slight
injuries.
The litt le Iwy, John Dirk, was bur
ied this foreno in in the Catholic cem
etery about eight miles south
west of Strasburg. The little girl,
Katharina Krieg, was buried this aft
ernoon at 4 o'clock, in Linton ceme
tery.
Strong men who saw the poor, dis
figured little bodies of tlie two babes
said that, were 1 hey'to live a hundred
years, they could never forget the pit
iful sight.
Tlie tlames were extinguished be
fore much damage was done the
room in which they originated.

SCHOOL NOTES.
For Week Ending Friday. Sept. nth.
Tlie Linton public schools opened
for the admission of students on Mon
day, Sept. 7th. The total enrollment
for the first day was Uo. The nuiii
ljer will no doubt increase rapidly
during the first weeks of school. It is
a lamentable fact that there are al
ways some who are unable to enroll at
the Ijeginning of school. Besides plac
ing the pupil at a great disadvantage
by preventing him from getting start
ed-in wit lithe rest of bis class, it often
causes the teacher ir.ucli dllllculty in
classifying him. Especially is this
true in tlie lower grades. Parents
having children of school age are urged
to start them in at once.
The old school-house has been reno
vated and furnished with new fixtures
and Is now occupied by the fifth and
sixtli grades.
A goodly supply of reference books
for the grades were ordered during
vacation and were here for use at the
opening of school. They will tie much
appreciated by both teachers and
students.
High School:
It is probable thai a year of German
will be added to tlie course, soon.
The ancient-history class is studying
"The Oriental Civilization" as an in
troduction to Greek and Roman his
tory.
Fifteen enrolled in the high school
the lirst day, of whom ten are doing
first-year work and live second-year
work.
Arlouine I'routy (of Pollock) and
Genevieve Braddock enrolled in the
high school at the beginning of the
second week of school.
