The Ferry Boat Arrived,

According to the last reports, the ferry
boat which left Benton about month
ago, and destined to be used here for
the benefit of Wiliston, had reached a
point this side of Ft Buford. Our peos
pie are anxiously looking for its arrival.
LAIER.--Since the above was type the
long looked for ferry has arrived and is
now in safe moorinss about four miles
mp river, opposite Bergh's saw mill. It
is at that point, we understand, that the
boat will be located for service, as the
distance there from shore to shore is
less thah at any other locality in this
vicinity. AS there is to be considerable
transferring of stock across the river
from the counties south of us in the near
future, the ferry will be put in operation
as quickly as possible, but nc definite
date can now be fixed! The GisApI1Ic

The test of one of the 15-inch dyna-
mite guns at Sandy Hook last August,
demonstrates the fact that the United
States have little to fear from invasions
by foreign powers. The gun was fifty
feet long. After firing three dummies,
two shells loaded with 300 pounds OF
high explosives were fred so as to drop
IN the main ship channel. A slight noise
like whistle was the only sound made
in firing. When the projectiles struck
Ehe water, dash of spray was visible, a
moment afterward the shell exploded,
throwing up water and sand to the
height of four hundred feet. The con-
c:rssion of the explosion was plainly felt
On shore and on vessels IN the vicinity
Sandy Hook is being provided with gun
Efts and ,breech-loading mortars, which
in addition to the dynamite guns will
make it we'll nigh impossible for hos,

ships, provided that they are of any
considerable draft, must necessarily pass
within three miles OF Sandy Hook, and
therefore directly under the gunr located

Our Advent.

In making our debut before the people
of Wiliston and Williams county-most
Of whom are strangers to us, but whose
acquaintance we hope soon to cultivate
and enjoy-we shall depart from the Or
dinary practice of country publishers in
giving their readers a long salutatory
in the first issue, teeming with promises
they never fulfill. We shall make no
pledges, and therefore shall have none
to break. We fully realize the difficult
lies surrounding the undertaking in the
midst of a new and sparsely settled
country, but having implicit faith in the
future development of the town and
county impels us to risk the enterprise.
As Budd Reeve said, while speaking of
bathing, "there are two ways Of going in
swimming. One is to wade in, and keep
wading and wading, till you can't wade
any further. The other is to walk out
bn a spring board and dive in head first.
It is hard to say which way is best.
There is one advantage, however, in
wading. Ifyou can't swim you can turn
around and wade out again" In the
newspaper business Budd is by no means
i novice, and says there seems to be an
abundance of editors and newspapers in
The country-more than can make great
fortunes or gain great fame. He COM
pares them to some large families Of
twelve or thirteen children, where con-
gratulations are offered when the advent
of another boy or girl is announced to
the household. All we ask is chance
to live: The field may be full and run
hing over; but the people, who seem
progressive and intelligent, can find am

We ask to be allowed to draw on the
bubble affections and be given an oppor-
tunity for support, and if the GRAPHIC
aoesn't grow up and become an orna-

Politically, the GRAPHIC will be inde-
pendent, advocating the cause of such
men and measures, under counsel OF its
friends, as may seem for the best inter-
ests of the village OF Williston and Will
siams county generally. Its advent is
hot in the support of any clique or politl-
tai party. Its aim Will be to advance

we ask both business men and farmers

A PROBALE MURDER.
The Body Of Pete Jarvis Found On
the Prairie.

The body Of Peter Jarvis WAS found
about 35 miles northeast Of Williston by
Barney Mietzner, on June 18th. The
inquest was held June ED by K. Y. 3.
Alderman, coroner of Williams county,
and Jury composed Of A. a. Austcll,
Frank Wild and Barney Mietzner. The
inquest was held at the place where the
body was found, the coroner and jury
being accompanied thither by DR.. Van
Dyke of this place. 1t will be remem-
bered by the people of this vicinity that
on the 18th of April, 1894, Peter Jarvis
left White Earth for Wiliston with two
teams and wagons loaded with household
goods,.fand was accompanied by q man
named Alonzo Wendell. The man
Wendell reached NVi'liston all right with
the teams and goods and turned them
over to the parties having interest in
them, but reported to Jarvis daughter
that the old man had lit out and skipped
the country in company with another
man. This statement was all that could
be learned at the time concerning the
disappearance of Mr. Jarvis. Wendell
stayed around Williston few days and
then left the country, and that was the
last seen or heard of him here. The
finding of jarvis body opens the window
to mystery through which a broad ray
of light is let in upon crime that may
prove rs appalling as it is mysterious.
At the inquest the jury discovered that
the back part of the skull had been
crushed as from the blow Of an ak or a
stone, and brought in a sealed verdict.
