Daniel Ginder, one of the old settlers of Portage, passed away at his home in the Third ward at 2:10 this afternoon. lr.

Ginder has been in failing health all winter and while he was up about all day yesterday it has been apparent for days that the end was near. Old age is the real cause of his death. He was in his 81st year. Mr. Ginder leaves an aged wife and three sons, Wallace and Samuel reside in South Dakota and Frank at Bellingham, Wash.

He was a twin brother of John Ginder, many years prominent in Portage, who resides on the bank of Silver Lake in the Fifth ward. Mr. Ginder in the early Portage was one of the conspieiou3 characters here. He was regarded as the most powerful man this section of the state and very few there were who desired to obtain his ill w.il. In 1855 and 56 he served the cityas maishal and many anecdotes are told of his ptowess in those wild days when the rivermen made Portage a rendezvous.

About thirty years ago he went west to reside, returning to Portage about five years ago to spend his declining days. Mr. Ginder was a good citizen, a good democrat and had many friends who will long cherish his memory. No arrangements have yet been made for his funeral.

Upon information and belief Martha Dick, sister of Bill Decorah, the Indian who was kicked to death by Henry Decorah, today swore out a warrant for Sam Decorah, in Justice Heidts court, as one of the principals in the murder of her brother, charging that Sam was present at the time of the attack made upon her brother by Henry and offered no assistance or aid to the injured man and made no attempt to prevent the injuries which resulted in death.

She further charges that Sam Dec-rah now has knowledge as to where the man cnarged with the crime is and that he is aiding in secreting him. Sheriff French went to the Indian village this afternoon to bring Sam in an it is hoped that the whereabouts of Henry will be made known. Mr. W. E.

Anacker, who saw the affray that resulted in the death of Bill Decorah says he does not think that the man arrested today has any knowledge of the whereabouts of Henry. He says that the best information he can get is that- Henry and his squaw left Saturday, morning and that Charley Decorah states that they went to Minnesota. There seems to have been an old feud between the Bill Decorah and Sam Decorah families and the theory of the Indians is that the attack on Bill was a result of the feud. There is a certainty that the two families are very bitter against each other now and there is a possibility that more fighting may result from the affray. A.
