SHOT IN BOX CAR.

A man by the name of III. Sibbert
hailing, he says, from Denver, Col,
was brought to the city hospital this
morning at an early hour suffering
with gun shot wound in his groin
He claims to have been working at
Casselton and to have gotten into
freight car at Wheatland last night
for a ride west. In the same car were
two other men, and after the train
had left the Jamestown yards, Sib-
bert, who was asleep, was awakened
by the others and told to give up
what property he possessed. The
assailants covered him with small
revolver, but thinking to save his
money Sibbert showed fight and in
the row he was shot twice. the other
bullet striking his shoulder blade
but not cutting the skin to any ex-
tent. The men got away and the
wounded man was brought to the
hospital by train crew. The bullet
still remains in the wound. He
claims to have a family in Colorado
and had s6 and gold watch which
the robbers did not secure.

Director Garnett OF the Alliance

turned Saturday from a weeks trip to
the northern part of the state accom-
panied by II. p. Smart of the Wells
and Dickey Co. They drove some
300 miles during the trip, as we'll
as made various points by rail, going
as far as Portal on the 500. He re-
ports that farm work of all kinds is
we'll advanced, that a great many
farmers have stacked their grain, and
are doing fall blowing. The crops
are excellent and the prices are good.
Most of the wheat is grading from
No. to No. , northern. Mr.. Gar
nett is well pleased with his examin-
alton of the country, and is especially
gratifed by the rapid settlement of
the same in the last two years.

as United States marshal, the duties
of which position he discharged most
faithfully. He had previously been
audito general OF the state of Penn
sylvania and had served in the Union
army during the rebellion. After
gong west he took an important
part in political affairs and was a
prom, inent candidate for delegate to
congress in 1886, but was defeated at
the Watertown convention by George
Mathews of Brookin2s. General
Allen participated in many election
campaigns in the state after North
Dako ia was admitted. making his
home in Fargo, where he owned
property. He had large number OF
friends over the state, who will re-
gret to hear Of his demise. Some
five or six years ago he was appointed
second auditor of the postoftice de-
partment at Washington, which posi-
tion he has filled with much credit
to himself and to the department.

AN ECONOMICAL BODY.

Dickinson Press: Just at this
season of the year the various city
councils are publishing their annual
appropriation bills for the yeal 1904
1905. The city Of Dickinson makes
an appropriation of $500, divided
as follows: Police, 1000; fire de-
partment, 5000: all other expenses,
$1,000. Mandan makes an aDpropria-
tion of Sl4, 900 and it is noted That

81, 500 set aside FOR police, $500 for
interest. S7OO for sinking fund.-
$1,000 for oil and fuel, $1,000 for
street and bridges. etc. A person
would not suppose tha1 it should cost
four times as much to run the city
of Mandan as it does to run the city

500 SURVEYING ACTIVITY.

Parties recently returning from
points on the 500 and other parts
in the Northern half of the state,
report great activity on the part of
tte surveying crews supposed to be
working for the 500 Railway Co. 1t
is the current report that the line is
being surveyed from Kenmare, the
reported western terminus Of new
line to Duluth, making an almost
direct line from Kenmare to Lake
Superior.
Kenmare is in Ward county, about
thirty-tive miles northwest of MinOt.
The new line. it is said, will be sur
veyed from Grafton and run parallel
to the main line of the Great
Northern road in this state. How
much truth there is to this report
is not known, but it is reported
frequently that such is the plan of
the. 500 road in the present surveying
activity in the state. The Great
Northern also has party of survey
ors in the field working west of Park
River, which the Lansford, N. D.
Times says. is believed to be a plan
of the Great Northern to build line
west from Park River and head Off
the 500 in its proposed extension to
Duluth.

From Wednesdays Daily.

The sheriff returned last night
with three men from Kensal who
are under bonds to appear at the
next term OF the district court
charged with the shooting of c. J..
Croonquist the Kcnsal merchant and
various other hold-ups and crimes.
The names Of the men are, Henry
Howard, known as ''Slim," who was
in the jail here two years ago for
stealing robe at Kensal. The other
hold-up artist gives the name of
Henry Sanger. The third man is
Hugh Murry, another party who was
bound over in the sum of $1,000 for
attempting to burglarize the Tucker
store at Kensal Saturday night. He
was frustrated in the atempt by Mr..
ShOckley, the partner. throwing a
weight at the man and preventing
his carving off any property. The
two hold-up men are uDde; $1,000
bonds. In all, some IA persons were
held up by them, and a threshing
crew recently from Lidgerwood were
put through the PAGES and sums
ranging from SC to Sc were taken as
well as two watches. one OF which
was recovered.
The towns people of Kensal got
out in force when it was learned
that Nh Croonquist had been shot
and at the time was supposed to be
fatally shot. Some 25 residents and
law abiding citizens huIriedly muster
ed to the capture of the thugs with
shot guns. reyolvers and rifles, and
finally rounded up Howard and
Sanger, who had tried to escape after
the melee in which Croonquist and
others had been fired upon. Howard
was caught hiding in lumber pile.
and Sanger in an oats field, where
one OF the boys who had been rob-
bed Of SIS previously had located them
by watching their movements.
The men made no great resistance
after the crowd had found them and
covered thom with shot guns and re-
volvers.
Marshall Townsend of Kensal ac-
companied the sheriff. the deputy
and states attorney to the city.

sion of two days. Assistant General

Clapp, Congressman Stevens and
about 25 members of the st. Paul
Chamber of Commerce including

The object of the meeting is to
create further interest in the mat
ter of irrigation for North Dakota
and to impress upon congress,
through our representatives and
others. that people of this state are
as much entitled to the expenditure
of money for irrigation purposes as
any state in the west, and particular
ly money that is derived from the
sale of our own lands.
Senator Fairbanks in his address
at Glendlve Mont, yesterday devoted
his attention largely to the subject
Of irrigation. and predicted that
there will be great future for the
western part of this country where
ever irrigating works can be located.
This government is used to doing
big things. No ordinary obstacle.
or even great one will intervene in
the reclamation of fertile lands. Mr..
Fairbanks approved President

on their cooperation with the govern.
ment authorities.

A MERCHANT SHOT
CROONQUIST OF KENSAL SHOT
BY A HOBO But MAY RE-
COVER.
SHERIFF EDDY RETURNED
WITH THE MEN CHARGED
WITH SHOOTING.

Saturday night the town of Kensal
was thrown into state of excitemen
by the shooting of one of the oldest
residents and merchants of the
town, Mr.. Croonquist. 1t is report
ed that two hobos got into some
difficulty near the railroad stock
yards and Croonquist. who was look
ing for the authors of an attempt to
rob his store which had occurred
during the week, went over to the
scene Of the hobo mix-up and in the
scrimmage was shot in the neck by
one of the men. The wound is said
not to be fatal one and 1t is ex-
pected that the merchant will re-
cover. He is one OF the oldest tim ers
in that part of the county and well
known. All the details of the affair
have not been received, but it is
said some such trouble has been ex-
pected for some time owing to the
presence in the town and along the
road OF gang Of hobos, and as a
further result of the sale of liquors
by bootleggers that are to be found
in that part of the county. Sheriff
Eddy, Deputy Frank Eddy and States
Attorney Baldwin left today to take
part in the legal procedure necessary
to bring the culprits to justice.
Five men, one of whom is said to be
the party who diu the shooting, were
placed under arrest.
A later report says that Mr.. Groom
quist was shot twice, one bullet
taking effect in his lip and the other
in the neck. In addition to this
crime the gang held up a mum ber of
other men and relieved them of
watches and money. Croonq quist's
boy who had gone after COW in the
outskirts of town, was also robbed
and it is reported that 81 we're taken
from the boy and the loss of this
sum was what led his father to make
a search for the men who had taken
the boys money and thus to get into
the clutches Of the toughest crowd
that has visited the place for some
time although the town is freQuented
by rough contingent who drift
along the 500 road. 1t is reported
that IL persons in all were held up
and various sums taken from them
by the same gang OF outlaws. Four
of those so robbed, only contri outed
81 cents to the robbers.

There is no doubt about the iden-

and they will no doubt get a long

pen. They carried ugly weapons,
"Slim" Howard having No. 45 re-
