This road was graded about ten

People interested in the coal fields

FfreW Olks at Lisbon.

A Lisbon special to the Morning
Call says:
An explosion occurred at Lisbon
asst evening which might have re-
suited much more seriously than it
lid had there been a large number
of people in the immediate vicinity.
1t had been the purpose of the
Ca tholic society Of that city to put on
t he piece, "Turn Of the Tide in that
city last evening, in the production
of which it was necessary to use a
flash light. Shortly before the doors
of the opera house we're opened it
was thought advisable to test the
working Of the light to see if it was
in perfect order. AS result, through
some unknown cause a terrific ex-
plosion occurred and confusion
reigned supreme. When the flying
debris had cleared away it was found
that Rev. Father Mcdonald of the
local Catholic church had been SER
iously injured, having sustained a
broken arm and was otherwise shaken
up. Miles Moore was quite seriously
injured by flying slivers and Roy
Severance was rendered entirely
deaf. The explosion was heard for
blocks around. The injured were at
once cared for by local physicians
nd a late hour last evening were
reported as resting as comfortably as
could be expected.

Sugar, Beets.

The building of beet sugar plant
in Cakes this year will have to be
given up and our efforts in that di-
rection devoted to developing the in.
dustry among The farmers. The pro-
moters came here first with a wide
open proposition, that there was
plenty Of capital waiting and anxious
to build sugar plant, and :.that it
was only necessary for the Oakes
people to furnish a site and the nee
ess airy acreage. In this way we were
led to believe that a plant coald be
secured easily.
How much of truth these state
ments and various other statements
which they have made can be judged

Returned Home.

Congressman and Mrs. Marshall
returned from Washington Tuesday,
and will remain at home most of the
time now until congress meets in
D ecember. Mr.. Marshall spent sew
eral days in Washington getting ac-
quainted with the depart ments, and
getting an insight into his duties as
congressman. The North Dakota
member has the whole state to him
Sc If, and the routine work, even dur
ing the recess is no light matter.
So far he has done very little in the
way of recommendations for appoint
ment, but he has large amount OF
work in his hands under considera-
ton, and will take time to look into
each case carefully! and make his
recommendations according tol his
best judgment. /
A petition for a free rural delivery
of mail from Kindred has received
his endorsement and been forwarded
to the department. The next step
will be an inspector whom the depart
ment will send out over the line, aud
upon his report will depend the es-
tablishment ofithe route. So far the
rural free delivery has been some
what Of an experiment, but the post
Office department is we'll satish ID
with. the results so far, and the system
will be considerably extended during
the coming two years.
Mr.. Marshall has also endorsed
Albert H. Hanson for postmaster at
Wimbledon and endorsed the petition
for rural free delivery at Coopers
town.
The matter of extending the mail
service over the Northern Pacific from
Minor to Oakes is being pushed, but
the contract has not yet been made
hough the department has recon,
mended the extension.

tion Of private secretary to j. G.

WILL STEAL NO MORE.
Dickinson People Dig out q Nest Of Horse
Thieves and Claim the Bounty.

l
| Thieves and Claim the Bounty,
Dickinson, N. D., April 8.-As re-.
suit of an attempt to arrest band of
horse-thieves in the Bad Lands, 13O
miles northwest of here, Jack Nc
Carly, alias jim McPeak, lies in the
morgue here with several bullet holes
through his body and the balance of
the gang is safe in the county Jail.
For some time it has been known
that wholesale stealing of range
horses was going on and was evident
that the work was being done by an
organized gang. On January l last
John w. Gooda]l, one of the shrewd-
est and most determined men in this
section, assumed the Office of sheriff
OF Stark county, Goodall had scarcely
been inducted into office when he be-
gan working on clues, one of which
led up tc the tragedy and capture of
all but one of the gang on Friday
night.
Goodall organized a posse of from
tt ersmen in whom he had absolute
faith, and all of them crack shots and
sp lendid horsemen. The posse was
composed of Sheriff Goodall of Stark
county, Sheriff Falls of Billings
county, w. D. Smith Montana
s took inspector, John Kennedy, sher-
iff of Yellowstone county, Montana,
and Deputies George Trimble, ].
Br own, Bill Chandler, Ed Stone and
M. johnson.
Armed with warrants, the posse,
we'll equipped and mounted, pro-
c eeded on Thursday from Glendive,
M ont, to the ranch of Clark g. Chap
pelle, sixty miles northeast in the
Bad Lands, which was supposed to
be the rendezvous of the gang. The
posse quietly surrounded the ranch
and called upon Clark, Chappelie,
j ack Mcdonald and Jack Jones, who
were there to surrender. They were
taken entirely by surprise and quick
ly complied with the command, and
without resistance.
McCarty and others were away and
it was decided to await their return.
About 6 o'clock McCar,y was seen
coming to the ranch mounted. He
rode up and Sheriff Goodall ordered
h i'm to halt. Instead of complying
with the command McCarty put
spurs to his horse.
The posse Immediately opened fire
with their Winchesters, endeavoring
a first to scare him. This did not
work, and then a volley was fired
W hich riddled the fugitive's horse
with bullets, and gave him his death
wound. McCarty, after falling,
raised up and attempted to fire with
his Winchester, but this was quickly
seized. He then drew his six-shooter
but this also was taken away. Nc
Carty lived ten hours after he was
shot. He refused to make any state
ment as to his true name or ancestors
and died cursing the officers.
The arrest of Chappelle will cause
great surprise, as he is prominent
and well-known stockman in western
North Dakota and eastern Montana.
Clark escaped from the sheriff at
Glendive and is still at large.
Mcdonald is a we'll known cowboy
and for several years was deputy
sheriff of Billings county. Jones is
cowboy and his relatives live at
Brewfeld, South Dakota.

by the results. We have been in a
measure made the victims of useless
promoters who had everything to
gain and nothing to lose. Eastern
capitalists are not easily fooled, and
honest and substantial business men
are 10th to invest in schemes that are
visionary and inflated, and not organ.
lied on sound business principles
Oakes has bought some experience at
a good price, but it is a valuable as
set, and will result in ultimate good
not only to this community but to
the state at large. While some
money and a great deal of time and
hard labor have been expended there
is no serious cause for regret, as in
the light of our past experience we
are more likely to succeed in our next
effort.
Had we relied wholly on our own
men and resources, and had Mr..
Marshall been free to have taken
time to visit the east earlier, and to
have given his personal attention to
the matter, much would have been
saved, and factory might have been
secured for this year. He found men
in the east who we're deeply interest
ed, but who refused to do business
with promoters and high priced con-
tr actors, This meant that a new
start must be made and the time was
to- o short to perfect arrangements for
this season.
As to the future, arrangements are
being perfected to raise and send to
Minneapolis not less than fifty car
| Dads of beets from the vicinity of
Oakes to be made into sugar at the
St. Louis Park factory. The 500
road have already made a nominal
rates on the beets, and the Northern
P acific will be requested to do like
wise.
The object in raising the beets is to
S ettle beyond question the quality of
t he beets grown here and whether
t here is any profit to the farmer in
raising them. If there is no profit in
t he crop, the factory would be use-
le SIS. If there is profit, we must
have the factory, and it will be much
easier to get it as the supply of beets
will then be assured.
Wherever any factory in the United
States has failed to be successful it
h as been on account of shortage of
raw material. Capitalists who are
f amiliar with the sugar business very
m uch prefer to build a factory where
the supply Of beets can be depended
upon than where there is a large
bonus offered, Oh large amount of
ca pital supplied, with the question of
the raw material in doubt. A great
deal will depend this year upon the
efforts of our farmers in raising the
beets, and everything will hinge on
t he results of their labor. Every
farmer and every business man is in
terested in this and all should unite
in a grand effort to make success of
this experiment
The citizens Of Oakes and this COM
mu nifty deserve great credit for their
expenditure of money, time and la
Dor, the like of which has not been
equaled in any town in the state
W hich has resulted in much good ad-
vertising for North Dakota, We
have good reason 10 believe that the
ltimate result will be beet sugar
plant for Oakes which will be fol-
lowed by other plants in the state.
