"A Runaway 121Year Old.

James Campbell living in the Beaver
precinct reports that about two months
ago IL year old boy named Harry Ste.
pbens, whose parents are we'll to do peo-
pie, residing in Helena, Montana, came
into jamestown on freight train with
out a ticket, in company with number
of threshers. He drifted out into the
country with the men and remained some
days at James Alexander's, in the Beaver
district. The lad proved an engaging
little fellow and was taken by Will Saye
into the hills where he helped herd a
band of 600 sheep for several weeks. A.
ter learning who the boys parents were,
which Information he studiously con.
cealed, telegram was sent them by
Jerome Sabin, at whose place the boy is
now stopping, and an immediate reply
was sent by the parents, who were doubt
less relieved TO learn Of the whereabouts
of their son. His grandmother in lndi-
ana sent him money, and his parents are
urging him to return home OF his own
accord, which he has agreed to do. He
ran away because of dislike to an aunt. 1t
is said. He has been we'll treated by Mr.
and Mrs. Sabin and is not particularly
anxious to leave them.

BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY
Called up by the Removal Of the Re-
mains Of an Early Settler.

Called up by the Removal OF the Re-
mains Of an Early Settler.
The remains of Antoine Pellissier,
which have been deposited near the
Main street bridge ever since his
death some IS years ago, in what was
the first grave yard in Jamestown. were
removed q ehort time since and taken to
Highland Home cemetery. Mr.. Pellis-
sier was one OF the early settlers here,
and used to freight supplies to Fort Tot
ten along with Archie McKechpie. AL
though the body has been in the ground
so many years it was IN fair state Of
preservation, excepting, of course. that
the flesh had disappeared. The beard,
which the deceased in life, wore short
aud stubby had grown several
inches, and those who saw the
remains, say it was we'll down on the
breast. There are still few other per-
sons buried on the river bank, whose re
mains will have to be removed before
long. There are but few people here
now who remember the Pelissier funeral,
among them being A. McKechnie, A. w.
Kelley, John Nichols, A. Sidmore, and
several others besides the family. The
railroad was then being constructed not
far beyond Bismarck, the soldiers of
Fort Seward made daily trips into the
little town, where d. NJ. Kelleher kept
the section house. Pelissler left two
married daughters, both residing here.
He was a relative Of the famous Marshal
of France. a celebrated French general
who won his spurs at Sebastopol.

The New Years Ball.

The Athletic and Social club gave
ball Friday night which exceeded any
event of this kind held under the auspices
OF the club. The opera hall wa. crowded
from nine o'clock until several hours past
midnight, with merry dancers. The
costumes of many of the ladies' we're ex-
oeedinglv handsome, and a number we're
prepared expressly for this occasion.
Natural flowers were worn by many
ladies, ana the gentlemen generally ap.
peared in full dress. Everyone enjoyed
the delightful dance music OF Rupert's
orchestra, and although the program
consisted of twenty dances, there were
interspersed 40 many ''extras" that near
ly double that number were given, before
the strains of the last good night waltz
had died away.
A reception committee consisting OF E
p. Wells, j. NJ. Lloyd, o. H. Holt anc
H. s. Helm, had their efforts taxed t.
the utmost in the introduction Of the MI
merous visitors from abroad, and car
Of the invited guests. The floor com
m,ttee comprised Messrs. W. H. Cogges
hall, Pierce Blewett aud Clate @. Smith
and much of the pleasure of the dancer
was due to their promptness and court
esy. An excellent lunch was served al
the hall. Many spectators from the city
we're present during the earlier hours OF
the evening.
Among those attending from distance
we're: Misses Sue M. Whitson, Nellie
Mcdonald, Maud Ridgeway, Mrs. DR..
Benson, Hon. Frank White. Messrs, Mel
son Black, George Beacham and J. Park
house, of Valley City; r. Clendenning.

One of the earliest Of the farmer-set-

who came to Stutsman some IS years ago,
from Australia. He took Q claim about

during good and bad years has kept
things going and out Of debt. This year

passed because they swOre to having
nothing at present with which to satisfy
the assessment. From figures obtained
from Clerk Of Court Branch, it seems
there were 485 delinquent personal tax
payers. Since harvest all have paid but

OF this latter number about Is have

Judgment given against the remainder
Judge Rose expressed sympathy for all
who had no defense. but stated that
the law left nothing for him to do
but enter judgment. The revenue law Is
very severe, and judgments take prece-
dence over every kind OF debt but prior
mortgage; and on distraint the sheriff
can take everything man has. 1t is as
rigorous as the prohibition law. Many
Of the delinquents we're unable to thresh
their grain, and for this reason unable to
pay. The costs are in some cases more
than the tax. The sheriff is allowed IS
cents for each service, and mile
age. The clerks fee is S400 for
each Judgment entered. and So for
each ono dismissed. Most of the amounts
are small, probably the majority under
$500. There we're few complaints made
on the course of the law, but the frank
and manly way some Of the farmers ex-
planned the cause Of their delinquency
and their willingness to pay
was rather affecting. All were
hopeful for the future and
many expressed trust that in the
future the rate Of taxation on the farmer
might be reduced. It is doubtful if
many understood why the rate OF tax
alton was SO high in this state, and also
If they realized that they we're hardly
getting their moneys worth in return.
Stutsman is not the only county by any
means that has delinquent personal
taxes. In Barnes county the numu r
was nearly twice as great as here.
