The ranchman has disappeared en-
tirely from the eastern part of the
state and in the central counties the
settler is also crowding out the ranch
man. During the last two years, and
especially this spring, the Missouri
slope rancher is being crowded and
only the ranchman bordering on the
'tBad Lands in the western part of
the state is ecur in a range for his
cattle. The time is not far distant
when it will be necessary for the stock
raiser to own no o cattle, sheep or
horses than he can accommodate on
his own lands. = This explains in a
measure the rapid appreciation in the
value of lands ins western North Da-
kota. It is a struggle for supremacy
between the settler. and the 3renchman
with the chances in favor of the for
mer except in those cases where large
tracts of land are secured for range

eventually disappear. The small

for interment. The jamestown Alert,
says of her death: about Z o'clock
Wednesday, morning death came sud
denly and unexpectedly to Mrs. Poole,
who had been, suffering from blood
poisoning for nearly a month past.
She was taken to the city hospital for
what was supposed to be her eonva-:
lescence, astshe was recovering from
the effects of blood. poison, which be-
gan, it is believed from some bite of a
poisonous Insect. She felt much bet
ter in the evening, taking some food.
Wednesday morning a choking spell
came on which resulted in profuse
bleeding from the lungs, and before
the hemorrhage could be stopped or
a physicians aid obtained she expired.
Her son Tom had been with her until
IL O'Clock and left her resting easily
and with. every prospect of ultimate
recovery. 3sy , r.. T. ~.
'"The death of Mrs. Poole will be re-
GREETED by a great many friends in the
city, where she has lived since 1880.
She leaves a brother here, Thomas
Stevens, and her son Thomas, who has
been with her most of the time since
her sickness and who has done every
thing in his power to alleviate her suf-
ferings.

FOUND SKELETONS OF. INDIANS.

FOUND SKELETONS OF INDIANS.
Grand Forks Herald: While work
men were engaged yesterdaysiH exea
waiting for a basement under the south
wing of the Hotel Hall they discovered
bones which were evidently parts Of
a human skeleton. BY careful Dig
;;ging the entire skeleton was uncov-
cred, and It was found that it was one
OF a group of eight, all Of which were
lying together, all of the bodies hay-l
ing been buried in the same hole
The bodies had not been buried singly,
but had been placed in. an excavation
which would not permit Of their being
placed side BY side, and three OF four
were on top Of the Others. The skel,
etons are evidently those of full grown
men, as they are all of full size.
When they were placed there, and
by whom, will probably always be al
mystery. They were buried about
four feet from the surface, and were

bones crumbled to pieces when. they
were exposed to the air. The upper
pant of one skull was got out almost
entire but the. rest came out in frag-
ments. It is evident, therefore, that
they have been buried for many years.
The building over them has stood there
for the past twenty-five years and dur-
ing that time the ground has not been
disturbed. Old settlers who were
among the first white men in this sec
ton say that they know Of no burial
there. The fact that they are all
buried together seems to show that
they were members of a party that had
been killed, and it is supposed that
they are the bodies OF Indians who
were killed in one of the tribal wars
which were % frequent years ago,
The indications are that the bodies
were buried without clothing. as there
is nothing which shows the presence.
of any sort of fabric, and nothing ct
a metallic nature, such as buttons, as.
there would have been If there9$had
been any clothing buried. -
