WHITE MEN TO
BEADOF (BY
I
RED LODGE, Mont., July 10 (by As
sociated Press).—Six white men, well
known characters who have had a
share in the life of the Crow Indians
of this section, have been selected
by the Indians for adoption into the
tribe. The selections were made at a
recent meeting of the tribal council,
and the names of the men chosen will
be sent to the sommissioner of In
dian affairs at Washington, D. C. If
he approves, formal adoption of the
white men will take place.
The men are: Major Pease of Ab
sarokee; Tom LaForge of Wyola; A1
Morrison of Prior; Bernard Provo,
known as Barney Bravo; George De
putee of Lodge Gress, and J. W. Coop
er of Billings. All of these men have
inter-married with the Crows and
have children who are members of the
tribe.
The dean of these men is Major
Pease, who in early days was an army
scout and led the expedition of Gener
al Harney. Later he became the first
Crow Indian agent. Tom LaForge,
one of the most picturesque white
men in eastern Montana, was one of
the soldiers sent against the Sioux at
the time of the Custer massacre, al
though not with Custer himself. Provo
is a veteran of the civil war and of
numerous Indian wars as well. He is
of German descent. Morrison is a
civil Avar veteran, while Copper has
served as an army scout. Deputee
has been an Indian trader and clerk
for 35 years.
Several years ago two \\-hite Avomen
who had taught in the government
school at Crow agency and had mar
ried educated Indians of the CroAv
tribe, were admitted to the tribe. A
negro, long in government employ,
also has been adopted by the Indians.

STRONG BILL SUNDAY
As Rupert, in “The Great Romance,”
Harold Lockwood has a role ideally
suited him, that of the best type of
young American, who is suddenly call
ed upon to face the unexpected and
haxardous.

Romance?” Would it be love, adven
ture or a delightful combination of
. both ?
i Girls, would you rather be a prin
. cess or the wife of the man you love.
; Boys, have you fancied yourself a
king, dreamed what you would do if
you were one? Had your drama come
true, would you have done it as did
Rupert, in “‘The Great Romance?”
Everybody, do you believe that any
thing might happen in this most
exciting world? Then you will enjoy
the strangest adventures that come to
a red-blooded young American in “The
Great Romance,” which is repeated
for the last time tonight.
Sunday night only, Viola Dana and
Hale Hamilton in a comedy drama
that’s full of pep and “kick” and op
portunity. If you enjoy a good laugh,
you will enjoy the joint efforts of
these two popular stars. It’s a thor
oughly human comedy, with a lot of
punch. In fact, it includes a star
prize fight. Viola started. The end
i ,
. mg must be seen to be appreciated.
