The Bismarck Tribune Is the Oldest

a desirable advertising medium. Being
published at the capital Of the state y

a resolution to President Roosevelt
and the secretary of the interior call

Canadians are building great canal
with a view to dlverting the waters of
the Milk river in northern Montana.
All the waters of the river which rises
in the United States are now being
used In the valley on the Montana side

works which would be of no value If
the Canadians secured the water. The

the jamestown Alert. Last night
Section Foreman Hanson, accom-
panied by the N. P. detectives, Sheriff
Eddy and others, came in from Medina
and complaints were sworn out by
Hanson against Richard Kanan and
Joe Kanan, two Syrians who reside
south of Medina ON land they own.
The complaint charges the men with
assault on the person of Levi Hanson,
with dangerous y weapons, namely
knives and spike-maul. Sheriff Eddy
and the detectives left to make the
arrests and bring the men to the city
for hearing and they are expected to-
night.
It is understood chat they are rela-
tives of Joe Marat, the Syrian who
resides on a quarter section of land
south of Windsor, and who had his
peddlers pack raided at the beer party
as reported last week. Marat has
lived south of Windsor for some three
years and his wife who resides in a
snail village near Jerusalem, is ex.
pecting 10 join him in the spring or as
soon as he can dispose of piece of
Land in the Holy Land country. He
also has sister at Bisbee in this
state. The Kanans, and five other
Syrians are said to have resided south
of Medina for shorter time and to be
living in one house patching" it,
without the society of wives or any
other women. They have section of
land and are said to engage in ped
ding in summer and to have quite a
stock of peddler's goods.
Marks on Hanson show cuts on the
top Of the head, and cuts across the
fingers of the left hand. None very
serious. Hanson says he believes that
he can identify his assailants as they
appeared to him to be dark complex
toned men, looking like Indians, al
though they spoke English.
The work Of following up the clues
and attempting to verify the story OF
the section man may be more ener-
getically pushed by those In charge OF
the case hereafter, as all attempts to
locate the blame on others than the
unknown parties referred to by Han
son have so far proved unsuccessful.
The people who know Hanson best
claim that his story is the most prob
able explanation Of the affair. The
railroad company is receiving consid.
cradle information about the identity
and record of several parties who re.
side In the vicinity Of Medina, con
corning whom, rumors of various
shady transactions have been heard
of late.

thing over q year ago, and, remember
ing his former experiments when the
fierce light Of publicity beat upon him,
he kept his Investigations and expert
ments to himself. -,
Trial after trial was made, some
without any success whatever and
others with partial success. At last
he was satisfied that he had overcome
all obstacles and working model was
made. y. - & ~ ia
Mr. Russell is reticent about the ex-
act manner in which his machine
works, but he explains that he has
two air chambers and that the air
from one is exhausted into the other.
How he takes care of it after it is ex-
hausted, so as to prevent an accumu-
lation in his exhaust reservoir, is one
of his secrets. In starting the ma
chine, he says, it is necessary to pump
air into one chamber, and after that
the machine will take care of itself,
and will run until it wears out, not
only furnishing power sufficient, to
operate itself, but creating a surplus,
which may be used for any purpose
where the use of power is required.
Mr.. Russell says the model has Been
in operation for nearly two weeks, and
during that time it was seen by many
of the people Of Larimore, who are
satisfied that It is all right. He claims
to have been offered 100000 for his
invention, but he scorns the offer.
He is willing to consider an offer of
so, 100000, but nothing less. -
After he had convinced himself and
all the people who saw the model that
it was all right he destroyed the
model, for fear some one might steal
the secret. He says he is ready to
make another one as soon as any one
is ready to talk business. To demon
strate that he is not trying to secure
money under false pretenses, he says
he will not take q cent from any one
until he has shown that his machine
will do all that he claims, and that he
will put what property he owns him
self into the invention. 49,.
Mr.. Russell is a young man tall and
slender, very dark, with inky black
hair. He knows little of physics ex-
cept what knowledge he has gathered
by experiments, and he Is not familiar
with the methods Of reasoning by
which philosophers have reached the
conclusion that such thing as per-
petual motion is impossible. When
