Sheriff Goodall succeeded in locating
Jack Joyce in Nebraska and secured his
arrest last Friday or Saturday. Mr.,
Goodall was in Bismarck Monday and
secured extradition papers, leaving in
the evening for Nebraska. Information
was received here during the week that
Joyce was making a desperate effort to
get the authorities to release him. Mr..
Goodall is not the kind of a man to be
caught mapping and there is little doubt
that he will land his man in the Stark
county Jail the first of the week. Joyce,
it will be remembered, is the man who
got away with Frank Meade's horses a
few months ago. A letter came to Dick
inson this week from Atlantic, Iowa, for
Joyce, presumably from his vile, indicat-
ing that she considered the jig up with
Jack and that he was soon to be a board
err Of the Stark county sheriff.
One of the well-to-do ranchers of this
section is Joseph Hartingcr who came to
the county in the early eighties. He is
located IS miles northeast of Dickinson
in the edge of the breaks, where he has
good hay and grazing land and abund
ance of water. Two years ago Mr.
Hartinger bought 6,o4o acres of railroad
land Of the Northern Pacific Co. at 70
cents per acre. He had the pick of the
country and according to present market
values his foresight has made him $1,000.
But MIR, Hartinger does not want to sell,
He has filed on government land, his
sons and daughters likewise, and now
has over 5000 acres of land. He has
four winter ranches and with the aid OF
his children does not have to hire any
help. He keeps some 500 head of cattle
bythe year which brings in enough money
to pay all running expenses; and in adj
dition to this income MIR. Hartinger has
enough cattle of his own to enable him
to turn off annually 100 beeves and keep
his original number good. Mr.. Hartinger
served under Emperor William in the
Franco-Prussian war Of '7o-'7l, but he is
now a loyal citizen of the United States
a hard working man, and deserves credit
for what he has done.
