Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1903-10-02

In the Fargo Forums .'Twenty-
ayears-ago" column occurs the follow
ing: ''Sept. o. The Daily Adver-
,tiser becomes defunct, and the prop
erty Is sold and bid in by the mort
gagee for 1900. !" That paragraph causes
our memory to take . run backward.
During the boom season Of 1883 there
were three daily papers in the new
capitalOf the terri tory. They were the
pioneer Tribune, the Advertiser, and
the; Capital, the latter two being
twilight sheets. Palmer s. LaShslle
were owners 81 the Advertiser. They
had started the paper with q plant
obtained chiefly on cred IN. and at the
/ height Of the boom the boys las they
were thanl could have sold out to
ambitious capitalists at profit Of
three Or four thousand dollars. Gradu-
ally however, the boom began to
show weak spots, and finally there
was q collapse. Tho writer Of this
article had reached Bismarck In June
and had gone To- work on the Adyer-
tiser. About the time the boom be-
gan to decline, Lashelle, who was
scarcely ont 81; his teens, and whel
was one of the brigh ghtsst lads we ever
knew, fell sick, and deci ided to 60 up
ito Washburn and visit his friend Billy
Maze,sWho ran the newspaper In that!

accustomed reElarity. The psoposi-
tion was accepted, and Kirk went up
to Washburn. However, matters in
Bismarck went from bad to worse,
and the money Palmer and his new
partner were able to put in the
sinking fund was not sufficient to
cause any great hopes to spring up ip
the breasts Of the papers creditors, al
though both Of us worked hard. About
this time there ,vas a telegraphcrs'
strike on the lines of the Western
Union, and the Bismarck Office was
included. Palmer and 1--WE" were
both trade-union men and in sympathy
with the telegraph boys. The paper
said fierce things regarding the COM
pany. Whether the position Of the
paper influenced the company to in
fiuence the mortgage we are unable
to: say; but one forenoon Deputy
Sheriff L. N. Griffin came in and took
possession of the plant on foreclosure.
1t was really a great relief to the
"proprietors'' to have the outcome
definitely Settled. La shelle is now a
theatrical manager with . national
reputation, and Palmer publishes at
Darlington one Of the brightest papers
in the state. These are the facts
as to how the Advertiser died. So
much for Slope history.

THERE is much interest anifested
all over the state in the matter Of If.
rigation. Under the law passed at
the last session of congress, setting
aside for irrigation certain moneys re-
ceiyed from the sale of public lands,
some %, 600, 900 are available for the
work in this state. But the law re-
ferred to provides that, in case there
is no effort made to secure the doing
of irrigation work in state, then the
fund can be used in another state.
Thus it may. be seen that it behooves
the people of North Dakota to get a
rapid movement on themselves if
they expect to receive a share Of the
irrigation fund. 1t is mot likely,
however, that the hustlers who are
always to the front in such matters
will allow the state toemerge from
the lesser end of the proposition.
Let's irrigate.

TWO ACCIDENTS.
T,co Dynamite Explosions In
,j11re People OF, the Linton-
Mckenzie Grade.

Last Sunday afternoon a man
named Andrew johnson was badly in
jured by an explosion Of dynamite out
on the N. P. extension, at the point
where the larger Of tbeetwo steam.
shovels is working: The shovel is at
work in sort of shale, which requires
blasting to loosen it. Johnson had
drilled hole and put in q charge Of
dynamite. The dynamite is exploded
BY the conclusion caused by charge
Of powder placed above the dynamite.
The powder In this instance exploded,
but did not explode the stronger sub.
stance. A piece Of shale fell over the
dynamite when the powder exploded.
johnson thought the dynamite was
defective, and he began drilling
through the piece of shale prepara-
tory to putting In another charge.
But the stuff was evidently all right,
for it exploded, throwing johnson and
mass of earth and shale about twenty
feet in the air. He came down be-
tween two dump-cars and was badly
injured. Dr. Snyder, OF HaZelton, and
DR.. H6gue, Of Linton, we're at once
called. They found the man badly
cut and his skull fractured. An en-
gine and Car were reQuisitioned and
took the sufferer to Bismarck. 1t was at
first thought that he could not recover,
but later reports are to the effect that
there is chance for his recovery.
Last Tuesday an accident almost an
exact counterpart of the one described
above occurred at the same place, Jack
| O'Neal, walking boss for Cook &
Kinds, being the victim. DR.. Hogue,
was called to attend him. He fOunC
no harm done except that Mr.. O'Neili
eyes were filled with sand. as the ex
plOsion was very light. He was alst
taken to Bismarck, as it was feared
his sight might have been injured.

OWING to the fact that the Record

that we have been commpelled to

The Record would respectfully sug-
gest to the United States senators
from this state that at the coming
session Of congress they use their In
flu.nce for the amendment Of the ir-
rigat1on law 80 that it will provide
that all work Of that kind done by
the government in North Dakota
shall be ssat or near Bismarck"

THE Minneapolis Tribune of last
Sunday was caught by some space
writer in a most remarkable manner.
There is a long story about some al
legged early happenings when the
Marquis de Mores was a prominent
and picturesque character at Medora,
this state. 1t describes the manner
in which a band Of cowboys who had
become antagonistic to the young
French nobleman went to Medora to
kill him, and how his wife, while they
were waiting for him to return home,
went boldly to warn him, right before
the crowd of range men, and how the
admiration of the party FOR her brav-
cry was so great that they presently
went about their business, leaving the
marquis and the marquise in full pos
session Of the field. The origin of the
trouble according to the Tribune
article, was the fencing in Of 5000
acres Of his land by DeMores, which
made things inconvenient for the
smaller cattlemen. There isn't q bit
OF truth in the story, as in those days
there were no fences Of any magni-
tude on the range, and the man that
the marquis killed, at q later date
than the episode given in the article,
was not 9 cowboy at all. Stories Of the
class referred to are often found In east
ern publications, but it is seldom that
70 western newspaper is credulous
enough to publish such s.gufr. !"

Messrs. Longmans The Great Noun

was spread n rough kind OF mating
made Of plant brushwood or sort oil
rush. Such bridges swung about fear
fully and cracked under the foot as II
about TO give way. Often / held my
breath while passing such a bridge
momentarily expecting the rotten con
trivance TO part in the middle. There
was plenty of evidence in the skeletons
OF horses and mules on the rocks be-

many men were lost, which, OF course
was an exceedingly comforting assur-
ance, especially as noticed that the
guides were careful TO see that either

these confounded structures. At one OF
these places we saw on the rocks 3OO
feet below the skull and bones of two
men who had been lost about eight
years before
