broken up into small farms and sold,
but the Dalrymple farm, the most
famous OF them all, still remains in
tact and undisturbed. 1t is today, as
it was fifteen years ago, the best ex-
ample of mammoth farm, with a
scientific and perfect organization In
every branch OF its varied industries,
to be found in this or In any country.
Our train during the night had lain
on switch track somewhere in Mime
sofa waiting for the track to be cleared
of a freight wreck that had occurred
somewhere ahead. We were now run
ming in consequence three hours late,
with orders TO run on schedule time.
This enabled us to see the Red River
Valley lands by daylight which this
train usually passes in the night. 1t is
beautiful valley with very productive
lands, but the long, cold winters and
the fact that the north-fowing Red
river naturally first thaws in the spring
toward Its source rather than It's mouth,
thus causing the river to dam up and
overflow all its valley with damaging
floods, are too great drawbacks for usf
Out OF the valley the Northern Pacific
passes through great stretches of level
prairie, thinly populated and only par
TALLY and poorly improved, two-thirds
of the way across the state. Bismarck,
the capital of the state, not materially
different from the capital of our own
state in size and opportunities, sur
prised us with its smart, up. to-date ap-
pearance. The streets were broad and
well-kept, the business and dwelling
houses roomy and substantial and the
public buildings, including the state
capitol and the Northern Pacific depot,
were beautiful, convenient and in every
way creditable Mandan, town of
nearly the same size and Importance, is
on the other side of the Missouri river,
scarcely five miles further west and is
reached after crossing a high, three
pier, Sl,000,000 steel bridge. Fifty
miles north OF here, at old Fort Man
dan, Lewis and CLARK made their win
ter camp just one hundred years ago
this coming winter, while on their trip
of exploration up the Missouri river
and into the northwest portion of the
Louisiana Purchase.

ia we passed through late in the after
noon and in the early evening, and
well indeed is it called the Dakota "bad
lands. The devils themselves in some
primeval age must have got to throw

hardened here just as it fell. Before
| they dropped it the rascals daubed it
over with demoniacal pigment of vari-
GUS hues, their Shiny touch forever I'M
fitting it for any human or benefcent
use. The altitude here reaches the
height of about 2, 200 feet, but the devils
evidently were on their way down and
they left their mark at every fall. He
who first called 1t ''bad Tands" had an
inspiration and bad lands it will remain
for all time to come. Strange as it may
seem here we dared to go to sleep,
awaking in the morning we'll over in

will be resumed next week.

Patrolman James M Brogan mar
roWly escaped death beneath the
wheels Of an east-bound Selby avenue
car shortly after 10 o'clock last night
at Fourth and Minnesota streets. The
policeman was. caught by the fender

many severe cuts and bruises about
the head and face. -
When the accident occurred Breean

ferrous language. AS he neared the
street car track the policeman tripped
on pile of sand and was thrown
across the track. The car was but a
Few feet from Brogan, and although
running slowly the motorman was UNI
able to bring it to stop in time to
prevent it hitting the patrolman.
The force of the blow threw Brogan
upon the fender, and as the car kept
in motion he was dragged for several
yards. Police Surgeon Moore dressed
the injuries.
Brogan suffered from a bad scalp
bruise, his right ear was terribly torn
and he also received a slash over his
right eye, besides being badly shaken

empty boxes on the night Of the raid
Rev. John Fryckberg had visited ten
blind pigs in the Vicinity of the Prior
avenue police. station and had pur-
chased liquor from each of them. In
out one place were any questions
asked.
What kind of liquor did you buy p"
asked Commissioner Foelsen.
. WHISKY, ana 1t was poor whisky at
berg.
Rev. David Morgan declared that
the raid of the blind pigs had no pe-
iitlcal significance. He had been told
that blind pigs existed in the Midway,
and he had carried the information to
the chief Of police
w. Z. Rich, Mrs. Anna Jackson and
r. A. Campbell testified as to the ex-
lstenee of blind pigs in the Midway
dlstr1ct and to their belief that Budy
knew their location.
In his closing argument Attorney
Doty said that he thought the charges
had been sustained.
Attorney O'Brien was very brief, TAX
ing the ground, that the conditions were
entirely due to prohibition in the terri
tory. He declared that wherever pro-
hibition had been tried it had resulted
in turning neighbor against neighbor,
as 1T had done in this case, and he was
firmly of the opinion that there would
be the irregular sale of liquor in the
territory as long as prohibition was in
force. There was nothing, he declared,
connecting his client with failure to
perform his duty, and for this reason
he had seen fit to refuse to introduce
testimony.

The st. Paul Union Stock Yards
company was yesterday given a verdict
for $7,S94.69 against the American
Spirits Manufacturing company by a
jury in the United States court. The
claim was for $4,000.
Defendants came into the possession
of certain buildings. and property in
South ST. Paul that had been orig
inally leased by the stocks yards com
pany to the ST. Paul DistiIling COM
pany for period Of fifteen years It
was alleged by plaintiff that the build
Ings had been so neglected and abused
that they were rendered comparatively
valueiess at the expiration of the lease.
1t was contended that If the prop
erty had received the proper attention
1T would have been worth $4,000 when
vaca ted. and that therefore the stock
yards company was entitled TO dam
ages In this amount, besides s320.52 for
rent and s120 for taxes.

NEWMAN is GUILTY
South St. Paul Man Convicted
of Grave Crime

George Newman, the South st. Paul
man charged with abusing thirteen
year-old girl. was yesterday found
guilty by jury at Hastings.
The jury returned it's verdict after
being out twenty-five hours, and rec
commended Newman to the clemency Of
the court. Newman was remanded to
the county Jail.
The crime for which Newman was
indicted was committed last February.
He was at the time prosperous sheep
buyer and lived at South st. Paul with
a wife and grown family. Four other
indictments are pending against him,
all accusing him of offenses sim
liar to the one of which he was found
guilty yesterday.

STATUTE OF FRAUDS
FATAL TO COMPLAINT
Court Dismisses Action of G. II. Shell
ienberser Against Messrs. Brace

In an order filed yesterday Judge
Lewis, of the district court, held that
George III. Shellenberger was not en-
titled to any relief in his suit against
S. E. Brace and Friend B. Brace.
1t was commended by the plaintiff that
the defendants entered into an agree
ment with him to purchase $4,000
stock in the ST. Anthony Furniture
company, Of which $21,490 was to be
IN notes, $4,000 in real estate and the
balance in stock and bonds that had
been agreed upon. 1t was further al
legged that the defendants transferred
real estate worth $500 and paid other
wise $1,000. after which the defendants
refused to carry out the contract.
The court holds that the case clearly
comes within the statute of frauds and
that therefore the complaint does not
sufficiently state cause for action.
