Passing of Chief John G**ass Leaves
Adopted Son, Now In Army,
At the Head.
] _
MANDAN, N. D.—With the passing
of Chief John Grass, of the Sioux
tribe of Indians, who recently died
at Fort Yates, the headquarters of
the Standing Rock agency, his man^
■ tie falls upon the shoulders of the
only white man ever adopted into
7 the tribe. Thus Captain A. B.
Welch, of Mandan, adopted son of
the old chieftain, becomes, according
s to ancient customs of the Sioux, the
- chief of the tribe,
j | The new Sioux chief, whose In
j. dian name it Mato-Watakpe, is with
the United States Infantry in France
' and is the aide of Major General
Hunter Ligget.
A grandson of John Grass, Albert
Grass, is serving with the same di
vision.
Although there were formerly
r f°ur chieftains of the Souix, only
) one line remains, and, the old chief’s
r sons all being dead, Captain Welch,
( by reason of being an adopted son.
takes precedence over a grandson
in the direct line.
! The name Mato-Watakpe is the
Sioux war name of the old chief
; and means “Charging Bear.” When
■ he was adopted Captain Welch chose
; this name as the one by which he
; would become known among the In
dians.
Although the chief of today has
not the same powers of the chief
of years gone by, the title still gives
him the respect of the Indians and
they recognize him as their leader.
A chief 'still represents his tribe in
! the disputes or conferences with
Ithe government.
j Captain Welch for many years has
been a student of the Indian cus
toms and formed many friendships
with members of the Sioux tribe.
In 1913, because of a mutual re
gard that had grown up between
; the captain and the Chief, John
Grass, the latter asked the captain
. if he would be willing to be adopted
as his son. The captain consented
and, conforming to the ancient cere- j
monies of the Sioux, was taken into
the tribe by a service held at Fort1
Yates, the old trading center. The
service was begun at dawn and
; lasted until sundown. I
The body of the old chief has
: been laid in the .cemetery at Fort
■ Yates and the Sioux now look for
j the return of their “pale face chief”
from the great war to assume con
trol of their affairs and act as their
i spokesman in all matters in which
| the tribe is involved.
Mrs. Katherine Sholseth arrived
recently in Nenana and has accepted
the position of cashier at the Tavern
cafe. She will also be the cashier j
at the Coliseum theater temporarily
and, on the departure of Vic Durand
will preside at the piano in the
show house.
President of the United Statei
Proclaims National W»’ Savings
Day.
1 Pursuant to the proclamation o:
the President of the United States
all loyal citizens are called upon t(
give their subscriptions for Wai
Savings Stamps on Friday, June 28
| and it is the duty of all patriotic
citizens to purchase these War Sav
! ings Stamps to the utmost extent
| of their means.
! The text of the proclamation is
sued by Daniel Kelleher, War Sav
: ings director for the state of Wash
ington, reads in part as follows:
i “In the rural communities, and
| the smaller towns and cities, meet
ings will be held in the school
houses at 8 o’clock in the evening,
j The school officers will conduct
. the meeting in each school house,
keeping a record of the proceedings
I and reporting the names of all per
j sons present and the amount of
War Savings Stamps subscribed for
by them. The names of the absent
persons, and of those who refuse or
i neglect to subscribe, with their
reasons for so doing, will also be
reported.
The price of each War Savings
Stamp depends upon the month dur
ing which it is bought. During
June each stamp will cost $4-17. In
July each stamp will cost $4.18. and
so on, one cent more each month
during 1918. On January 1, 1923,
the Government of the United
™,;ii ....,1 ^nr— o :
Stamps at $5 each, no matter dur
ing which month in 1918 they were
bought. They cost less during the
'early months in 1918 than during
the later months because the person
who buys earlier has loaned his
' money to the Government for a
longer time than if he should buy
later.
The money invested in War Sav
ings Stamps is not a gift, or a do
nation, but is a loan to the Govern
ment. It will be paid back with
I 47c compound interest. If, because
j of some serious financial reverses
j or calamity, it should be necessary
to get your money before January
1, 1923, you may do so by giving
ten days’ notice to any money order
postmaster, in which case you can
,get what you paid for the stamps
with interest to date of payment.
The stamps are free from all state
and local taxes; when registered at
1 the postoffice they are insured
against loss; they are backed by all
the property in the United States;
i they cannot fall in value below the
1 price you pay; they are as con
venient and as well paying an in
| vestment as has eve# been offered
by our Government.
It js to be hoped that the sub
scriptions taken at the meetings in
your county will show you and your
neighbdrs to be loyal Americans to
whom our Government, in this hour
of need, does not call in vain.”
For the purpose of giving Ne
nanaites an opportunity to sub
scribe, lists will be placed in all
the stores in town as well as at the
disbursing office of the Alaskan
Engineering commission and the
postoffice.
