HERE's congratulations to Editt

HERES congratulations to Editor
Bryant, of the Napoleon Homestead,
who has recently been announced as
one of the pa-ri-ents Of a youthful youth
of the male sect. Here's congratula-
tions, also, to grandpa. 1t was Grand
pa Bryant whom Jimmy Foley had in
mind when he wrote about the man
who sat by the grade of the 500 ''and
waited, and waited, and waited.' But
Frankie hasn't waited so long.
Grandpa is one of the good boys; Frank
is ditto, and it is to be hoped that the
newcomer will appreciate the virtues
of such proper paternal ancestors and
be good, himself. But - Frank - it
you delay the Homestead every time
such an occurrence happens, your sub
scribers will kick after it has taken
place a dozen times or so.

LINTON. NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER l. 1899
AGAIN.
The First North Dakota regiment
arrived at San Francisco Tuesday
night,
Moro About the stolen Her.o,.

"~Eo AuOut the stolen H0fScSs
Sheriff Rocks passed through Linton
last Sunday, returning from Bismarck,
where he went in answer to a letter
stating that the man who stole Dorm
bush's horses and harness and Peter
Green's buggy had been captured. lie
found the man in Jail. The prisoner
waived examination and was held to
the next term Of district court at Lin
ton. 1t seems that q young man by the
name of Bratton, at Sterling, was the
cause of the alleged thief being cap
tured. One Of the postal cards sent out
by Sheriff Rocks was tackled up in the
poStOtfice at Sterling. The man came
to the store where the postoiiice is
kept. Mr.. Bratton recognized the
chap by the description on the card.
The man, after being in the store
little while, glanced at the postal card.
AS soon as he could, he sneaked out of
the store. Mr.. Bratton learned that
the stranger had sold pony about ten
miles north of Sterling. He at once
went up there and found that the pony
was the same "three- bar" animal de-
scribed in the card, and which the
Foster county sheriff wrote Sheriff
Rocks had been stolen in Foster coun-
ty. The saddle stolen with the pony
the man had shipped to Missoula,
Mont. 1t was recovered before it
started. The Foster county sheriff was
very anxious to obtain the man and
take him to Foster county; but Mr..
Rocks thought 1t would be a good idea
to make an example of the alleged
thief in Emmons County, to the end
that other thieves might take warning
and steer clear Of this county. Mr..
Huber, the night policeman in Bis
marck, informed Sheriff Rocks that
the man confessed to him that he stole
the Dornbush horses, and that he had
sold them thirty miles north of Daw-
son. But, after an interview with his
lawyer-a party by the name of Ste
vens, who is not unknown in Emmons
county-he denied that he had. con-
fessed. The sheriff believes that, had
it not been for Stevens, the prisoner
would at once have pleaded guilty.
Steps will be taken to secure the
horses, harness and buggy and iden-
tify the man. AS the chap-who gives
his name as Robert Brown, but who is
thought to be a person going by the
name Of Frank Brown in Campbell
county-is known to be the man who
sold the pony stolen in Foster county,
he would have to face a Foster county
jury should Stevens succeed in mixing
things up to such an extent that the
prisoner would be cleared in Emmons
county. But this is not probable, if the
horses sold north of Dawson are the
horses stolen from Dornbush.

NOT all of the democratic and pop
ulist newspapers are edited by traitors.
Here is what Comrade Perry, OF the
populist Glendale Record, has to say
of the war: "The democrats will prob
ably abandon the imperial issue before
the program is published for next year.
Whatever the people of this country
may think about the acquisition of the
Philippines, in the original PROPOSE
tion, the voters Of the country, with
out any regard to party, are not now
in favor Of pulling down the flag, but
they will maintain it in those islands
against the wide world, and do not for
get it. Party can go to the dogs when
the country's honor is at issue.''
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1899-09-01

kota soldiers have their fare paid from
San Francisco? 1t is all very we'll to
say that the government provides
transportation. True, it does. But is
that any reason why we should not, in
this manner, show the North Dakota
troops that the people OF this state
appreciate their sacrifices and the
honor that they have brought upon us?
Nearly every one of the members of the
First North Dakota held a steady sit
uation when he enlisted. Their coun-
try-our country-became engaged in
war. The states were called upon for
volunteers. The quota of each must be
raised. Had there been no volunteers,
there would have been draft, and
each state would have been required
to furnish its share Of willing or un-
willing soldiers. But the men who en-
listed settled quickly in the negative
the question Of draft. They went to
the front to bear the burden of the
people Of their state. And no braver,
truer band Of American patriots ever
carried the Stars and Stripes against
an enemy. They have for year re-
ceived soldiers pittance in the way
Of wages, and few American volunteer
soldiers have ever saved or ever will
save from SIS month. They are COM
ing home to find that most of the sit
uations they left are filled by others.
1t could not be different, for men
were necessary to carry on the work
that business required. They are COM
ing home with blood thinned and bod
les weakened by the hostile climate of
the tropics, and northern winter will
soon begin. The money that can be
saved to them by bringing them home
free is but a small sum to each contrib
utor, but the total will be large. And
it will be a welcome gift to most of the
soldier boys.

ceived frow Bismarck 81 badges to

The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1899-10-07

The Oliver Iron Mining com
pany has bought the Goodrich
mine located near the Saginaw
few miles west of this city.
The purchase takes with it the
fee Of eighty acres. The sale
was effected few days since by
Geo. A. Newett, editor Of Iron
Ore. The Goodrich has been
idle many years and has been
lost sight Of 1t was never well
worked or thoroughly explored.
There is large deposit of
silicious ore which will give
better than 80 per cent iron, and
there is also a deposit Of high
grade hematite upon which no
work has been done. This was
found several years ago in a
diamond drill boring. The mine
has shipped about 10000 tons
and can quickly be placed in
shape for production. The
property was owned by several
gentlemen of this city. 1t is not
known whether the mine will be
raonanpd this fall mr. not Tho
company has a great deal of new
work on hand and may not be
able TO make a start until the
coming spring. The resumption
of operations they have here
will be the signal for other work
in that vicinity. 1t is favorable
locality and well worth syste-
matte exploring. Iron Ore.
