AVOID CHANCES
1T is CHEAPER TO REPAIR WALKS
THAN TO PAY DAMAGES TO
~.-..,r PERSONS INJURED.

Mandan is to be the defendant in a
suit for damages for personal injuries
received from a defective sidewalk, in
spite of her progressiveness in the
matter of laying new walks and re-
pairing her old ones. One day last
winter Mrs. Almira Reynolds, the
wife of an Oliver county farmer, was
walking along a wooden sidewalk in
the east end of town, when one of the
cross pieces few up and tripped her,
throwing her violently to the ground.
She claims that her arm was broken
and that she received other injuries
and bruises to the value of $1,100 for
which she, demands judgment against
the city of Mandan. Her attorneys
are Messrs. Patterson & Anger of Bis
marck and they served the summons
and complaint on the city about the
first Of the month. An interesting
incident in connection with the matter
is the fact that it was On Mayor Har-
mons sidewalk Mrs. Reynolds claims
to have received her injury, though he
was only an alderman at that time
-Mandan Times.
This item suggests the thought that
this city Is making itself liable in
like manner. There are few plank
walks remaining in the city and the
knowledge that they will soon have to
be replaced by cement walks has re-
suited in their lack of repair, 50
much so that the city seems to be
tempting providence in neglecting
them.
The walk to the capitol on Sixth
street is a shining. example. Cement
walks were ordered built beyond E
street, and part Of the plank walk re-
moved for that purpose-and there
you are, with session of the legisla-
ture in sight, and that walk used by
many people daily during the session.
This matter is worth attending to-
before someone gets hurt.

Il All Was Harmony

Sheldon Progress: AT the meeting
of the republican state central com
mittee the atmosphere was SO heavily
laden with harmony you could cut it
with knife and "the forces that usu-
ally win fed the Insurgents with the
oil Of g1adness and the milk Of human
kindness In pals. An excellent move
was made by putting Jimmy Foley Ia
charge OF headquarters at Fargo. as
secretary to the executive committee.
Jimmy is competent, tactsul and
popular. We may expect the cam.
paign bureau to put out literature Of
an extra high grade.

MADE One ARREST
TIN HORN GAMBLER RUN IN AT
UNDERWOOD ON SUSPICION
-. -,-,.,t ~ roF BEING, 49, So s..,.
A BANK ROB9ER-HIS NAME is
BISHOP -, WELL KNOWN
HERE.

The only word received today from
Underwood was to the effect that a
tinhorn gambler named Bishop had
been arrested on suspicion of being
one of the robbers. Bishop has been
fuctuating between here and Under
wood for some months past and has
an unsavory reputation, having been
run in here d number of times for
drunkenness. Those who know him
doubt If he had the sand to do the
business.
The Security bank was the first one
dynamited.' Druggist Wike, whose
store is next to the bank, is reported
as saying two shots were fired in the
safe and then the party went over to
the First State bank, which is diagon-
ally across the street, fred two shots,
cleaned up all the cash there and then
returned and fired another shot at
the Security bank safe and succeeded
in getting it's cash. The four robbers
then leisurely walked down the Main
street and turned north.
After they had been gone some time
Mr.. Wike, who had supposed from
their slow movements that a guard
was left behind, left his store and
gave the alarm. It is said the trail
of the robbers was, followed in the
road three miles and was then lost in
the grass. From all accounts but
three men were aware Of the robbery
while it was going on and as they
were ordered to keep In doors under
penalty Of death, the alarm was not
sounded until the robbers had a good
start. * y 5st5 ts. s.2 M .
The impression prevails at Under
wood that the work was done by local
artists and that they doubled back to
town from the country after caching
the cash. B, Re: s5s =s5 ..SsS: 81

city being the natural commercial
center of the western, part Of the
state. Not only will it advance the

here but it will hasten the coming o.

the farmers to market their produce
the undeveloped wealth of those

The South Branch.s
Going south, the line skirts the
bluff below old Fort Abraham Lincoln,
crosses the bench SO and strikes the
river again opposite the south end of
Sibley Island, and crosses the Little
Heart river about three miles from
it's mouth. The Missouri is followed
generally and the Cannonball is
crossed at it's mouth and proceeding
along the bench lands on the river to
a point opposite Hampton, in Emmons
county, about 10 miles north Of Stand
ing Rock and old Fort Yates, aban.
doned.
e., The North Line.
T The north line follows the river UP
above Rock Haven, follows Square
Butte creek for seven or eight miles
and strikes the Missouri again above
Harmon, The line skirts the river
most of the way, cutting off a bend
here and there and runs along the
south boundary of that historic body
of water, Mandan Lake. The big
bend, on which Washburn is located
on the opposite side, is cut across
from Hensler to the south bend a
Deapolis, and Knife river is crossed
near its mouth, at point near thu
town of Stanton, county seat o

you'll soon forget all that tommyrot when
you get to bed-and that's right now,
son"
But 1 can't go to bed, not till she
comes-mama | mean, you know. Got
to say my prayers right down by her
knee, you know, papa"
Well, you'll hustle into your mighty
and tumble right into your little bunk
this time, Jim. "
What? Got to pray first, papa. 1

Well, crawl into that garment; there
it is on the radiator. Now"
You got to unbutton me-here is the
first one. Now, rich man, poor man,

Then you stand still, l can't help

Did the COLLINS chase you when you
was little boy like me-"
Moves, if | didn't stand still. Now
romp out of your buds and slide into this
and there you are, son, all ready for
bed "
The pretty little white-robed figure
stood prim and sedate before Hennipen
| There was a sweet, mild expression,
dimples in the cheeks, and between the
half-opened lips pearly teeth. Hennipen
had been too busy during his life since
| Jimmy came into it to bother or care
about getting the little fellow ready for
bed. Now, this affair all seemed like
some new and pleasing feature, and he
| liked it.
Why, why don't you do it, papa?
She does always"
DO what, Jimmy? I've put you into
your mighty all right and buttoned you
up safe and tight. Why don't do what?'
The pretty face was upturned to Hen
nipens. A slim finger was pressed to the
white forehead and the little lad said ::
Right here is where my darling does it
1t makes me dream of her and beautiful
angels. | can't sleep less she does it.
She's my dearest, lovely, sweet darlingi"
Hennipen looked down at the pure
face, and a something laid hold of his
heart as though invisible fingers pressed
its strings Jimmy what does she dor"
he whispered softly, drawing the white
figure closer.
Kisses me because she loves me best
of all in the world"
Better than papa, DEAR"
OH but that sounds SO funny. It's
not like she loves me. | am her little
boy, you know. You are her Big Jim.
When she kisses you it amt like she
kisses me.
HenniDen drew the how close IN him

and kissed the pure, white forehead.
Gee! That was a smack. Where did
you learn to kiss little boys? Did your
mama kiss you when you was little and
went to bed, papa?"
'Yes-yes, long ago"
But | never saw '7our mama. Ny

Oh! how funny it seems to

And Hennipen saw a
glimpse of Heaven when the
little figure knelt at his

knee and his ears heard music such
as never before they had heard; and
his hearts harp was touched by angelic
fingers from the far-away shores as little
Jim said his prayers in a voice that was
soft as summers sweetest zephyrs.
And now, papa, let me sit on your
lap But she does before l get sleepy.
There, now we are both in the big easy
chair. It's just next to being with my
darling. Now go on!"
Go on with what, child?"
Why, don't you know? l mean the
story about the little baby in the manager

never get tired hearing it. Now go on
III keep still as a mouse"
But Hennipen hesitated. Life and it's
affairs had come between him and the
beautiful story. Many of its strongest
as we'll as sweetest points had faded away
from his mind. All! He hesitated so long
that the boy lifted his eyes and said as he
took hold of his fingers:
IN tell you all about it, papa"
And the minutes sped along while the
prattling voice told the sweet old story
of the Nativity. And it was told as the
listener had never before heard it from
human lps-not from the lips of the
most powerful divines in the world
And the man of the busy world drank in
every word; and his soul was lifted as on
pinions of gloritied light as the divinity
of it was spread before him in all its
beauty When the words came slower
and more slow, and the waxen lids
dropped and the little boy drifted into
dreamland, Hennipen felt that he was
different man.
And a little child shall lead them, 3"
fell from the strong mans lips as he held
the boy close to his beating heart
The clock licked away the moments
but Hennipen still sat there in the easy
chair with Jimmy in his arms. And after
an hour had passed, the front door was
opened; there came the sound of steJs
on the stair. The library door was opened
softly, and Mrs. Hennipen came in. She
smothered the exclamation of surprise as
she drew nearer and looked down upon
the faces.
My two Jims-both gone to sleep
God bless them both!'
Lightly she pressed kiss upon the
bows forehead. He only murmured in
his sleep He dreamed an angel kissed
him She kissed the mans forehead. He
started-he dreamed his mother kissed
him He opened his eyes; he glanced
from his wife to the little face upon his
breast And then he said softly
Go to bed, Isabella. Let me hold him
here until he awakens. am in Heaven

And if you should happen to want

The door closed behind Mrs. Hennipen,
and Big Jim was alone with his fancies
Woman, woman, you make me tired !!
Can a two hundred FOUNDER manage a
little sixty-pound runt? Preposterous!
Well, | guess | canl"
After reading a few moments Jim
Hennipen laid aside his paper and looked
at the clock. Eight minutes of eight,

been in the habit of retiring at eight
