The saloon men. in Mandan seem
ANXIOUS TO remove Constable Clark as
a dangerous factor to their business
Two anonymous letters have been re-
celved by him. threatening his life. \
copy OF one was sent to the postotfice
officials. but as there was nothing OBJ
scene in the letter nothing could be
done. Another communication was
put under Clark's door. All kinds of
terrible things were threatened in
that. 1t seemed there is mortgage
on Clark home and the men opposed
to his closing the saloons are bring
ing all their efforts to bear on this
point. 1t is announced that subscrip-
tons will be taken up to clear Clark S
home OF the incumbrance, and he will
be backed up in his fight against the
saloons.
Clark was once prosperous mer-
chant at Mandan, but lost his business
through reverses. lie was appointed
chief of police, but was removed be-
cause he was too fearless in the per-
Torrance of his duties. All offenders
looked alike to him and he recoznized
no pull. Later he was employed by
the Northern Pacific and unearthed a
rather sensational bear deal This
aroused so much antagonism that the
railroad was induced to remove him.
The matter is beginning to assume a
state phase and the people will no
doubt assist Clark in his fight against
the saloons

tain and there went to work. There
were stonemasons and builders among
them, and every man did his best to
help. The foundation had been laid
previously, but on that one day the eu-
tire superstructure of the monumnt
was built. 1t was "a feet in circu1n-
ference at the base and Is feet high,
composed of wall made up of large
stones. the interior being filled with
the same material. In the center a
stairway led up to the top of the pile.
Twelve feet from the base, on the side
fronting Boonsboro, a white marble
tablet was inserted bearing fitting
inscription. Many soldiers who fought
in the revolutionary war took part in
the erection of the monument, and
the GRAFTON was delivered by clergy
man who had served as chaplain in the
continental armies.
In 1872 nothing was left of the orig
inal monument but the foundation and
few crumbling fragments. At that
time movement was started to re-
store the monument, and in 1883 it
was rededicated, having been raised
to height of so feet and surrounded
10y an iron framework and balcony.
The site of the monument is so ex-
posed, however, that even the restored
structure has fallen prey to the ele-
ments, so that now it is again in a
condition of ruin. Historical investi-
cation has shown that this was the
first monument ever raised in honor
of the Father of His Country, and a
movement is again on foot to restore
it to its original condition.

ioyed on his premises. although it APP
peared from the testimony that he re-
ceived no profit in the transaction
His case was tried by jury and it
took that body but five minutes to
bring in verdict of not guilty. His
arrest seems to have been the result
of spite on the part of certain resi-
dents OF Courtenay. H. ID. Browns
case was continued to the next term
OF the district court. He is 500 agent
at Courtenay. and the case is similar
in many respects to the numerous

agent of railroad company to handle
liquor. Burke accused of gambling,
forfeited his bonds.

The inspection of the local company
was held at the armory in the Wyman.

Otherwise the showing of the local
military organization is said to have
been very satisfactory to the inspection
officers, altho their final report will not
be made for several days yet. 1t is not
the duty of the inspection officers to
praise the good points of company
either, but on the other hand to pick
out all the defects possible and seek
to remedy them.
