Scout, a paper published at Fort Rice.
d. r., on Aug. "a, 1865. Fort Rice was
abandoned many years ago. and the
land where the soldiers once camped is
now covered with wheat fields. The
paper is composed Of four pages, with
three columns to a page, and though
yellow with age, it shows that the type
with which it was set up was new, and
the presswork was we'll done. The
name Of. Captain E. G. Adams appears
as editor, and Lieutenant c. H. Champ
ney was publisher. The motto of the
paper is Liberty and Union" The
editorial column is taken up with stories
of General Sully's expedition. Captain
Adams was something of a poet. On
the front page Of the paper is one OF his
poems, entitled, THE Solitary Head

North Dakota. He does not seem to be
worrying in regard to the result. Mr.
Sarles was one of the pioneers in the
territory OF North Dakota, ne has been
a successful business man, and has hosts
of friends from one end OF the state to
the other.
A Forum man saw this gentleman
with "the great white poll" this morning,
and asked him in regard to politics.
He replied: Republican politics
simply means an expression of the will
Of the peoplc-of the common people,

hunt of a day or two after chickens. In

SO many good men on the ticket, it will
be overwhelmingly elected, even if there
was no campaign. At the same time
every republican in the state should see
that the plurality for the ticket is made
just as large as it is possible. 1t will

NUMBER OF VESSELS KNOWN TO

CREWS PERISH.

New York, Sept. 15.-A storm Of
wind and rain of almost unprecedented
violence ragged over New York and
vicinity during the night, causing
damage to property both on sea and
shore. Ample warning of the coming
storm had been given by the weather
bureau and few coastwise craft ven
tured to sea, but it is thought that
some small vessels which were work
ing along the Coast may have been
caught by the storm. Two fishing
schooners are ashore at Coney Island
point and many small craft are lying
on the beach and all along the shore.
In this city and in the suburbs hun
dreds of windows were broken by the
wind and the torrents of rain filled
cellars and turned streets into rivers.
Elevated trains stopped and traffic Of
all kinds was p%aralyzed.
Much damage was done in Brooklyn.
In some sections scores Of houses were
flooded, several blocks of sewer caved
In and many trees were uprooted.
Miles of telephone wires were blown
down in the suburbs and many of the
trolley lines were put out Of commits
