SIDNEY, April ].
Special To the Leader.
The movement this morning was the
result Of a citizens meeting held last
evening, when it was determined TO rid
the town of the roughs. Two new
deputy sheriffs we're sworn In. and their
business commenced to-day.
Mccarthy had a hearing this after
noon and was released on $1,000 bail
which was promptly furnished.
Ryan is a cool and a cheeky fellow.
This noon he sauntered into the
county jail a here and talked with
the prisoners before his presence was
known. When he was discovered, he
fled on his bald-faced pony, the best
horse in the west, and made for the
bluffs near Potter. Men started after
him on horseback and some went armed
on the dinky, which ran as far as Pot
ter. The dinky got there in time to
see Ryan disappear In the bluffs. Ham,
Inns horse kept close to lRyan, but
finally gave out after a run of fifteen
miles.
Ryan owns a herd Of horses near
Waterhole, and, thinking he had gone
there after his first trouble, three men
went up there to remain until they cap
turtd him. He may have gone there
to-day for a fresh horse.
Sheriff Sharpless, of Cheyenne, was
telegraphed to look out for Ryan, as he
may have gohe in that direction.
At this time, $40 p. M, the town is
quiet, but there is some fear of a move
ment to release the imprisoned roughs.
And n Females. Too.
Special to the Leader
SIDNEY, April l..
At this time-midnight-the town is
quiet.
The prostitutes have all been notified
to quit town inside Of "a hours. Several

There are now sixteen roughs in jail.

this on and ''don't you forget it."

Dakota for Specimens.

Black Hills Times.
A portion of the territories ofMon-
tana and Dakota contain wonders
which the lover of nature may search
the globe over in vain to equal.
Their like does not rest upon this
footstool. The National Park is the
worthy museum of unexampled Won
ders, which by right a great republic
should possess; the government itself
being the great wonder of the triumph
Of humanity. The geysers, the falls,
and the thousands Of obj jects worth q
journey to see, of the Yellowstone
park have in manner been described
again and again: but the wonders of
Dakota are but little known except
to select few scientists. To the
student, to the geologist who would
read the past history on the pages of
creation, who would wish to examine
the vestiges of a former age, and
trace the pathway of time in the high
road Of nature, no country on the face
Of the earth presents the field that
Dakota does. At some age, how far
back we dare not pretend to say, the
beasts of the field and the fowls of
the air made this land their paradise.
Their bodies lie embalmed almost as
perfect as the day when natures final
cdict overlook them.
The peculiarities of the soil and
climate have preserved them almost
intact, even when exposed to
the atmosphere. Thousand of
tons of rarest fossils which would
gladden. the geologist's heart. lie ex-
posed within few miles of Dead
wood, and giant fish or reptiles turned
to solid stone are said to be within a
days ride of us. A portion of the
territory, the bad lands especially,
appears to be the grave yard Of the
old world. To those who are inter.
ested in these researches, we would
say, leave off tinkering with the triv-
ial fields Of the east aud come here,
where the gage is spread without ex-
ertion before your eyes.

Settlement on the Line Of the Northern
Pacific.

Eight thousand Swedes will come
to the United States this ye ar
Nearly all these will settle on the
line of the Northern Pacific rail-
road. Do our people know what
this means? Of all the races of
Europe the Scandinavian is the most
vigorous, and it is by it's law Of
habit an INDUSTRIOUS, hardy, fru-
gal, intellectual race. Next, the
whole line of that road is suscepti.
BILE to settlement. The valley of
the Red River of the North is about
225 by 300 miles in extent, Of the
finest wheat lands on the continent,
besides better fitted for rye, oats,
barley, fax and like crops than any
other in the world. The climate is
suitable to Norsemen and here alone
he finds room for Scandinavian
empire. And these people are from
the home of our civilization, and it
is to-day the blood of the sea kings
that dominates the commerce Of the
globe. Then again the family and
Bible are the basis of the social life
of these people. They are honest,
constant in their conviction, phys.
ically stsaaet .atld welded to the
home. In fifty years more they
will have a series of commonwealth
there that will serve as balance
wheel to the more emotional re-
gions of the South, and it would
only be logical if they were to fur
nish a century hence the armies to
quell another secession rebellion.
This region has had it's difficulties.
Jay Cook saw it's capabilities and
sought to use them, but he was
monopolist, and a public enemy,
and was put aside by the bowling
mob. But his labor was not lost,
and to day his road has reached the
confines of a country larger than
the whole north of Europe and Of
a fertility equal to any part Of the
Union. The future Of that vast
region is not all a matter Of doubt.
The people who go there go to till
the soil, to raise their families, to
work and grow in comforts and
property. They are not spectators,
and they will plant states that will
add the wealth Of bone, muscle,
numbers, intelligence and indepen-
dence to the nation. Jay Cook is
already vindicated.-Kansas City
Times.

What . Is Round. Up" Means.

Dsadwood Times.
But few people really know what
a cattle ''round-up'' signifies. They
have all idea that the cattle owners
mount their ponies during the flow
cry month of May and ride out up
on the broad prairies and drive in
their herds like farmer runs in his
focks. This, however, is not the
case. As soon as the bizzards of
winter set in the herders seek their
cabins and the cattle scatter and
are driven by the storms over the
plains and mountains until spring,
when they are widely separated.
We learn from Henry Weare, who
is just in from the roundup in this
region, that it will take two months
vet to collect the stock. His cattle
and those belonging to M. G. Con
nors are roaming hundreds Of miles
apart. Some are on the Tongue
river and others as distant from
their range the opposite directions.
The work of getting together the
animals, which are recognized by
their brands, is no little chore, but
in a new country like this a three
months job.

Yankton Press and Dakotaian.


The "horrors of the late win.
ter and the ''terrors" of the spring
break up in Dakota have been por
trayed in glowing colors in all of
the eastern papers and have been
industriously elaborated by those
whose interests rendered it impor-
tant that as few people should come
to our territory in the capacity OF
actual residents as possible. Ma
ture's strange indulgencies have
furnished the text and many a feel
ing discourse has gone to the peo-
pie Of the east, urging them to avoid
the "inhospita bic region where only
suffering and privation awaited
them." The result Of this effort
to plant the seeds of prejudice comes
to us in the shape of larger immi-
grafton than was ever known before.
Our railroads and wagon roads are
thronged with settlers and the diff.
Guilty is to locate this vast army OF
home seekers which has so sudden
ly occupied our productive prairies.
That the past winter was one OF
hardship here in Dakota none will
deny, but the fact that the same
cheerless conditions have existed in
states Of the east robs this freak Of
nature Of any local significance.
The season full of inclemencies was
general in it's effect, and the thous-
ands who are now coming into Da-
kota leave behind them recollections
yet fresh and vivid, of storms and
unparalleled frigidity in the land
they have just abandoned. 1t there
fore happens that the most imagin-
ative productions of writer's gifted
in Misrepresentation have little ef.
feet, or, if any, they tend to attract
attention to the land where people
can thrive under adverse circum-
stances. Those who have been
here through many winters and
summers know that Dakota is not
in the habit of producing such Sc
we're weather as came upon us last
winter, and we have the statement
Of the venerable chief of the Yank-
ton Sioux that nothing like it has
occurred singe 1910. The uniform
mildness Of our winters is proverb.
ial and new comers in ouImidst will
have an opportunity to enjoy them

Last year the line of immigration
halted at Jim river valley, but this
spring it is pushing westward and
promises to fill the entire region
between that stream and the Mis-
souri,. Upon the slopes and sum-
NIT Of this watershed there is all
abundance Of rich agricultural and
grazing land, which will speedily
become productive under industri-
GUS manipulation. The set tiers now
fccking into Dakota will never re-
gret their coming.

Red Hot Journalism.

Duluth Daily Tribune
The following from the Yankton
Herald Of a recent issue is an inter.
esting example of the forid style
of Western journalism and at the
same time is interesting as applying
to a gentleman well known. The
fervor Of the writer may be com.
mended while his criticisms are not
entirely endorsed:
"The Herald, as it's readers remem-
ber was never an enthusiastic admirer
of Pat Donan. 1t denounced him as
a journalistic louse at the time of his
first entrance into the newspaper field
Of the territory. Previous to that
time it had made up its mind as to
his calibre, methods and manners.
Yet, it is sorry to say it was drawn
into the folly few weeks ago, of Civ
ing credence in its columns to foul
report set afoat by this distardly
wretch concerning the wife of bro.
ther journalist residing in Deadwood,
and which was printed in the sheet
of a fugitive from justice in Fargo.
The Herald is ashamed of itself! It
should have known better than to
believe the idle tattle of such \ pair
of moral eunuchs! And it hereby
takes occasion to express its utter
disbelief Of the divilish story, and its
loathing and adherence Of the pair
Of filthy ghouls who prostituted their
alleged newspaper privileges by Cir
culating it. The red.hot concaves of
of an orthodox hell have been resound-
ing for countless ages with the yells
and howls OF men who are angels OF
light compared with them! We hope
to see the press of the territory gen.
orally lend it's aid to the holy task Of
stamping under iron hoff. this brace
of newspaperial guerrillas.
There are editors who sometimes
write very pointed, pertinent para.
graphs; but yet, III measure, "draw
it mild" The above paragraph,
however, isn't one of that sort-it is
the other end. Such stout editors as
the ones alluded to by the Herald
man may feel complacent in the face
of such a criticism, but such delicate
editorial dandelion as ourself, would
wither, and completely kerfumu1
under such weight Of words.

An Enumeration RuiIlin1.

One of the greatest needs of our
country to day is an immigration
building. Repeatedly during this
season settlers with families have ar
rived and there being no building to
go into they were often compelled
to camp in the depot and on the plat
form. Many more people will come
here this fall and next spring their
number will be legions. Some ar
rangement looking toward the CON-
fort and accommodation of these
people should be entered into. The
simplest and best way to do this
is tor the County to put up \ large
aud roomy building on come of the
vacant lots in such shape that it can
be rented to immigrants until such
time as they could get on to their
land. Such building would need
no finishing on the inside, as it would
not be used in winter, and would
easily repay its cost in one seaso'.
We trust some move will be made in
his matter.

Flax.

As testimony of what fax will
do and what can be done the first
season, we cite our readers to what
Porter Bros. have done on their farm
south of Jamestown. They put
two teams at breaking four weeks
ago, and have so acres of fax all
up and growing finely. This piece
will probably yield eighteen bush
els to the acre, or total Of l44o
bushels. This is worth 80 cents per
bushel, or 1926. Nine teams are
now breaking, getting the ground
ready for wheat next spring.
