1t is reported that S. A. Sisley has left
these paris. He is the man believed TO
implicated in some cattle killing opera
tons on Cedar creek some time ago.
He was in Dickinson some days before
his departure. and one Of his last acts
was to sue c. c. Mead on a hay contract
that had been fully paid; and he obtained
credit of some Of our business men by
telling them that Mead would pay a lot
of money to his attorney in a few days.
1t was discovered this week that VIM.
Bembrook had left for parts unknown.
He had a good position as pump repairer
on this division Of the N. P. and his late
dissipation and sudden departure was a
surprise. 1t seems that Bembrook met
the master mechanic in Mandan and
called for his time, on a pretext Of hav-
ing a splendid offer out west, and in that
way fooled Foreman Littlehales who is
sued him transportation to go away for a
visit. Mrs. B. had left a week or ten
days before and investigation showed
that the household effects had been
quietly sold.
Wednesday evening a complaint was
made to Chief Of Police Carroll that a
number of boys were making a disturb
ence around the AL. Curliss residence.
The boys. ten or twelve, were aprehended
and arrested the following morning and
taken before Police Magistrate Ryan.
Very likely some Of the boys caught in
this scrape had not intended to do any
thing much out OF the way but the fact
that they were caught in bad company
got them into serious trouble. The city
has . number Of young rowdy boys who
are thieying and repeatedly destroying
property and we trust that our chief of
police will follow the matter up and see
that a stop is put to this kind Of annoy.
