NORTH DAKOTA.
Ward County Reporter: There arc
hundreds OF men now owning good
farms IN North Dakota free from in
cum brances, who began with absolutely
nothing and had to hire themselves out
before they could even pay the land Of
fee fees for the claims they took up.
North Dakota already has l,500 tree
public schools, employing nearIv 2-oOO
teachers, For a new state it is certainly
wealthy but like minor, has n o power
to touch its property. The con,Sltu"
tlon declares that the state debt must
rot exceed $500, 600, and this subjects
the public Institutions to some delav III
getting into complete working order.
The resources of the state III lands
granted by the congressional act Of ad"
mission aggregates $506 GOO. 70 this
must be added the common public
school lands, amounting to 8 00o,100
acres. which the constitution SAYS shall
not be- sold TO: less than $40 per acre.
| and which is now worth on an average
SIS per acre.
The police have arrested the Messiah
down, in Red Clouds camp. When
they pulled his white blank OFF they
found an intelligent but harmless
crank, A. G. III 'pklns by name, from
Nashua. Iowa. He SAYS he is here in
the interest of peace and that he ca ne
because the Indians misinterpreted his
message. He wanted to go to the Bad
Lands but Indian Agent Roger changed
his address to Chadron, starting him
under escort of police. Some OF the In"
dians were indignant over bis arrest
while others laughed and said he was
crazy fool. None of his chiefs take any
stock IN him, and r I'd Cloud walked up
to him and SAID: ''Go home, you are NC
son of God" The Messiah claims that
he will go to the Bad Lands.
