SCRAPE.
One Hundred Miles North Of Dickinson.

Tuesday afternoon Mayor Manning
received a telegram from DIR. Scott of
Ray, on the'Great Northern, which read
something like this: shooting scrape at
Poole's. Send sheriff, doctor and coro-
ner."
The matter was turned over to Sheriff
Goodall and arrangements were made
at once for sending Depety Chaloner
north early Wednesday morning, &C
companied by Coroner Schmidtbauer,
DR.. Davis and Attorney Messersmith.
From the meagre information re-
ceived it was evident that some one had
been killed and that there were wounded
persons. 1t is thought here that Dr.,
Scott was summoned in some way from
the north and that he could not cross the
Missouri.on account of floating ice. The
information may have been shouted
across the river TO some person.
The Poole family came in from Wis
consin during the past year OF two, with
other new settlers, and took up land in
Wallace county (unorganized) 10 or IS
miles from the Manning ranch, this side
of the Missouri river, and not many
miles from the Goodall ranch.
The distance to the Poole place, by
road from Dickinson, is about I2o miles,
and the officers did not expect to get
there until Thursday night. They
| hoped to reach the Robert Wilcox
| ranch on the river beyond Oakdale the
first night out, and there to get a rcla,
of horses. If not detained too long a
the scene of the trouble, the officers ma!
get back to Dickinson late Saturda!
night, and it may be that no definite
news Of the trouble will reach here be
fore their arrival.

prices. See him and you will find that
he means Just what he says. lo-I5-tf
P.H. Duff was in Dickinson the first
of the week and bought a load OF oats
for his ranch in the vicinity OF Sand
Creek. Mr.. Duff returned from Chicago
recently where he marketed u steers at
&C, the average weight being I!26. he
had intended to market more this season
and invest the proceeds in sheep, but
owing to the low price he decided TO
carry over about 200 head. He is car
ing for a band of 100 sheep and also has
has over 100 horses.
The modified quarantine order ceased
to be in effect on December I, and
cattlemen need to be a little more care
full about their shipments. To be on
the safe side it will be best to consult
the nearest federal inspector.
A, H. Arnett made a small shipment
of cattle this week.
The National Live Stock Association
convention will be held in Denver on
January 1914. Special rates will be
given by the railroads and it is likely
that some of the Dickinson stockmen
will take advantage of them.
Alfalfa has not been raised by many
people in western North Dakota, but
those who have tried this crop have
found it very productive and profitable.
William Coigrove, south of Richardton,
on the road to the new town OF Mott,
! has cropped five acres with alfalfa for
| five wears and is highly satisfied with
| the results obtained. He has had one
| big crop every year and some seasons
two. This year he flooded the ground
| once in the spring and his first croE
| averaged 2 tons to the acre and the
| second N tons. His alfalfa took the
| first premium at the state lair at Man
dan this year, and measured 8 inche:
higher than the alfalfa on exhibition
there from Montana. Mr.. Colgroye
while a successful cattle grower, is also
very successful with all crops at hi!
place. He raised over 500 bushels o
| potatoes the past season, and his Earl!
| Ohios took the second premium at thu
state fair, and would have easily taker
first had 1t o been for the hard usage
they got in shipping.

Discovery of Anthracite Coal.

Anthracite coal was first discovered in
1901, and during the same year the bust
ness of marketing this new commodity
was started. Today it represents an
industry Of wonderful proportions. 1t
was in 1853 that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters was first introduced to the public,
and because it contained true merit has
progressed so rapidly. that for many
years it has occupied the first rank as a
family medicine. 1t positively cures
sick headache, heartburn, indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kid
ney ills, chills, colds and malaria. We
urge all sickly men and women to try it
for it is we'll deserving of a fair trial.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT VISITED the Ol0
CABIN.

The dispatch which came from
St. Louis last Saturday SAID:
after half an hour spent in the
west pavilion, the party re, entered
the carriage for a quick drive to
the agricultural building. Enter
ing the south door, the party pro-
ceedcd to the North Dakota ex-
hibit, where they saw the cabin
occupied years ago by President
Roosevelt on his ranch in that
state. He and his party looked
with interest at the dlminutlve
shantv and some of the former
belongings of the President that
hung about its walls
The Bismarck Tribune editor
takes an inspiration from the fore
going and says: ut is worthy OF
note in this connection that North
Dakota was the only state head
quarters honored with a visit from
the executive. Certainly this is
a matter of which the state may
be proud and adds another
feather to the cap of the state
and it's alert executive manager.
Doubtless President Roosevelt
was pleased with the opportunity
to visit again, in such a strange
locality, the old log cabin in
which he passed his first winter Ill
North Dakota more than twenty
years ago. Inside the cabin at
the fair he might have imagined
without the bleak and bald buttes
rising in all directions, the river
less than half a mile distant, wan
dering by crooked ways through
the surrounding hills, and the se!e
grass waving in the western winds
and perchance the melancholy
wall of a coyote somewhere in the
distance. And perhaps it wa:
not in his widest dreams on the
last occasion on which he saw thu
cabin on its native soil, that wher
he should next see it, it would b
placed in the largest agriculture
display hall ever erected, in ;
city, the metropolis OF what wa:
known as the solid south, at ar
exposition the greatest the worlt
had ever seen, and that he would
be visiting that exposition a
President of the greatest republic
on earth, just elected by a RECORD
breaking majority in which th'
solidly democratic state of Mis-
souri, had been swept from it
political moorings. After all
Strange things happen in thu

The Glendive lineup is as follows:

The Dickinson press., 1904-12-03

The report that Roosevelt will
retire all the men who were
the appointees of Mckinley does
not read like the character of the
man as the people of this country
have seen him during the past
three years. President Roosevelt
wants simply the best men in
position, and he will have them
If they can be gotten; if they
are Mckinley a]ppointees or
Cleveland appointees and arc the
best to be secured they will stay.
But it they are "sticks" they are
destined to go. 1t is not a
Roosevelt personal administration
that he will try to build up, but
the best administration of all
departments of the government
that he will try to secure.-Forum.

All of these men have been char
latans. Dewey has been the gen
uine stuff.
Roosevelt, according to the Of
fetal report, wanted to quit before
Santiago. He was partly to a
mutinous Round Robin, and after
a campaign of a few weeks, he
was eager to be mustered out, and
did get back to the United States
as soon as possible in order that
he might be a candidate for Gov
ernor of New York. AS the
"hero of San Juan" he has become
President, though he was never III
the attack.
Funston violated nearly every
law of honorable warfare accord
ing to his own statements, and
should have been court-martialed
and shot. He is now in charge of
the Department of the East.
Wood was, so far as the records
show, in no serious engagement in
Cuba; he was a most interchangeable
CRATER, and he is now a Major
General in the regular army.
All that Dewey did was to sail
at night into Manila Bay over pos
sible mines and torpedoes, engage
the Spanish fleet and bring about
its destruction. 1t is true his serv-
ices were recognized at the time,
and he was made an admiral; but
since Roosevelt has been Presi-
dent, he has been persistently
snubbed and insulted because he
did not think that Schley ought to
be dishonored for his services in
destroying Ceryera.
The American people, however,
will not forget Dewey and they
will not forget Schley.
