Early History

The burning Of the Large two-story
section house south of of the N. P. coal
dock brings to mind some early history.
The house was built during the fall of
80 and was occupied by c. H. Kline
felter, who was then pump repairer from
Mandan west. The Headquarters build
ing, now the Western Union Office was
the first substantial N. P. building cree.
ted at this place. 1t was commenced in
81 and completed the following year,
and wal presided over by E. F. Messer-
smith, who had been with the railroad
construction force for some time. In
those days the trains made long stops.
giving passenger and train crews time to
get meals. However, when Henry Viii
lard ~inaugurated a system of dining cars
a year or SO later, eating houses were
less patronized and the trains made bet
tor time.
Old timers will remember that l.. X.
Granteer was foreman OF the carpenter
crews at the time the old section house
wal constructed, and 1t was about this
time that he built his Hannaford street
residence, now the home of Minnie Reid.
Dickinson was not on the map when
the steel was first laid through here.
The N. P. reached Gladstone on the 4th
of July, 1880, and in the fall, about Sept.
the track was extended to Camp Hous-
ton, a military post. known now as Bel
field. At that time Col. Merrill was in
command of two companies of U. S.
cavalry at the fort and was guarding the
frontiersmen against Indian depreda.
tions..A
Dnring the summer of 1881 the rail-
road erected a shanty here, put in a sid
ing, and assigned Agent Longley to the
station which they called Pleasant Val
ley. The following summer the place
was plated and named Dickinson, and
the company's shanty station gave way
to the present depot building.

Victim of Robbers.

Frank Lish returned Wednesday eve
ming from st. Louis where he attended
the funeral of his brother Peter who died
the evening of Dec. a..
The St. Louis Republic of Dec. "a
gives the following account of the death
of our townsman's brother:
Peter Lish, yardmaster for the Big
-Four Railroad in East St. Louis, was
found lying across the tracks on the
Cahokia Creek trestle near the Broadway
Viaduct in East st. Louis at 6:ls o'clock
last night with his skull terribly crushed.
A bloody coupling-pin neal by and the
disappearance of the mans watch led
the police to suspect that Lish was as
saulted by footpads and that his body
was placed on the track to hide the
crime.
Trains cross the trestle every few min
utes, and at the time the assault was
committed it was very dark. The bridge
is not a public thoroughfare, and only
the railroad men use it as a path coming
and gong from their work. Lish was
found last night probably fifteen minutes
after he was assaulted. He was taken il,
Kurrus's ambulance to Henrietta Hospi.
tai, where DIR. L. Virgins found that
his injuries were of such a serious nature
that he thinks the man is not likely to
recover. There is a deep cash in the
head, and pieces of the skull are buried
deep in the brain. He has moi been con-
scious since he was found. i
1t was pay day yesterday in the Big
-Four yards at East St. Louis, and Lish
had his months salary, 500 in money. in
the inside pocket of his vest. 1t is sup
posed that the robbers we're after this,
but were frightened away before they
could find it. A gold watch and every
thing that Lish had on his person were
taken.

MUCH interest centers in the
proposed opening of the Fl. Tot
ten Indian reservation. Nowhere
in the state is there land to COM
pare with it for general utility.
Beautiful Devils Lake with its
heavily wooded shore forms the
northern boundary and offers all
the charm of scenery. shade and
water besides the advantage of
cheap fuel, etc. The land is roll
ling-sometimes sharply broken,
we'll watered, free from alkali and
abundantly fertile-as has been
demonstrated by successful crop
raising. 1t is suited to home
making on a smaller scale than is
practiced in some parts of the

bona 6de settlers will be the ones
to secure it.

ONE MILLION IN LIVE STOCK.

The shipment of live stock from
Stark county for the year 1901 is
indeed most interesting, showing
as it does the great growth and
marvellous wealth of this industry.
The total shipment of cattle for
the county is CO.. cars, or 1888
head. The average net selling
price of these cattle in Chicago
was 645 per head, or S714.96o.oo.
The shipment Of horses for the
year was ll6 cars, or 1884 head.
which figured at an average price
of $50 each equals Sl39.2oo.oo.
Of sheep there were fewer ship
ped out in 1901 than the previous
year, the total number of cars be-
ing II, or 1926 sheep. The av-
erage net price of grass fed sheep
in Chicago the past seaso was
1910 per head, making S53.7o7.5o
for Stark county mutton. The
market price for sheep was low
which accounts for the compare
lively small number of mutton
sheep shipped. The growers
seemed to prefer to hold their
mutton sheep over until another
season.
The shipment of stock from the
four shipping points in the county
were as follows:

state on the west.

There is Hope

In their flying trip through Ari- zona the senatorial subcommittee have not given a favorable impres- sion as to their good intentions. The impression prevails that Senator Beveridge sought to secure evidence adverse to statehood, rather than such as would show our claims are based on good grounds, says the Mesa Free Press. It is possible that this impression does the worthy gentlemen an injustice, but their haste, their uniform re- fusal to commit themselves upon the question in which all Arizonans are so vitally interested, and their apparent preference for the testi- mony of Indians and Mexicans, give grounds for the belief that the report of the junketing party will not be just what the people want.
 But there is hope Delegate Mark Smith says that, no matter what the subcommittee may do or say upon their return to Washington, that the omnibus bill will be passed by the senate Mark qualities the statement by saying 'if'' conditions have not changed since he left Washington Before election MT.
