Daniel Mitchell, 76, passed away at the Atkinson Memorial Hospital here early Tuesday morning after an illness of several months. Advanced age was the cause of his death. Mr. Mitchell was one of the few remaining old Indian scouts in the northwest and one of the few that could boast of the fact that he served as a scout both in the United States army and in the royal mounted police of Canada. He serviced as a private in a company of Indian scouts in the U.S. army in the Dakota territories during 1894, being given an honorable discharge in November of the same year. After his discharge from the U.S. army he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, serving as a scout and interpreter, with Captain MacDonnell, at Wood Mountain, Saak. Cananda. His Indian name was Bear Paw. After being discharged from the U.S. Army, he came to the Fort Peck Indian reservation where he was chief of the Fort Peck Indian Police for a number of years. He later became an interpreter on the reservation. Mr. Mitchell retired from the Indian service in 1936 with petition. He was an honorary member of the American Legion. "Dan" will be greatly missed by both his Indian and white friends as he has been a familiar and well know figure on the Fort Peck reservation for many years. Daniel Mitchell was born February 28, 1864, at Winnepeg, Canada*, to the parents of David and Isabelle Mitchell. His grandfather was a high ranking officer in the United States army. In 1888 he was united in marriage to Lula Garfield at Wolf Point. To this union, eight children were born. Those surviving are Mrs. Alex Verdon of Poplar, Mrs. Vina Hawley of Spokane, Washington, Freddie Mitchell of Bapchule, Arizona, Mrs. Ursula Brophy of Hines Oregon and Teddie Mitchell of Poplar.
