JAS. FLEM N hG
Old Veteran Of the Mexi-
lean War Died last
Monday.

Last Monday, at his holIe in the
mountains, north of Bottineau. occur
red the death of James Fleming. who
for nearly twenty years has been a
we'll known citizen of this county.
The passing Of pioneer, a good cit
izen. loyal friend, one of Gods saints
on earth gone to his reward.
James Fl lsming was born in Glas-
gov, Scotland. Nov. 1s. 1926. Died
at Bcttineau North Dakota, Oct %,
1905. aged 80 years, II months and
days.
Mr.. Fleming came to the United
States in lS46 and enlisted in the
United States Artillery to serve during
the Mexican War His regiment was
the last to leave Mexico. After hon
orable discharge he went to what is
now the province of Ontario and lived
there until 1854. February 1855 landed
in Melbourne, Australia and there en-
gagged in the boot and shoe business
for time. The gold mines claimed
part of his time too. May 1862 he
sailed for British Columbia and in
September reached Victoria, Vancou-
YER Island. At that time Victoria
had only one brick building, few
side walks, and steamers we're from
to 8 days going between Victoria and
San Francisco.
The pioneers of that day found the
country a wilderness. Communica
tion With civilization was next to i'm
possible. It was a wild, solitary life.
Notorious gangs Of Indian pirates Of
ten attacked the white settlements and
Mr.. Fleming assisted in quell,ng the
trouble which broke out in 1862 and
1858.
In 1855 Governor Kennedy appointed
him Road Commissioner This posi-.
tion he held for four years.
For several seasons Mr.. Fleming
served as Commissary officer Of one
Of the survey parties sent out by the
Canadian government to locate route
for the G. P. r. R.
1877 Mr.. Fleming left British Col
umbia for San Francisco coming from
that city to st. Paul. From St. Paul
he went to Winnipeg. That city had
then only 5000 inhabitants and no rail-
road nearer than Fisher g landing. He
pioneered in Manitoba until 1887 when
he came to this county. Here. he re-
manned until his death.
Mr. Fleming was twice married.
His first wife died in 1854. In 1875
he married Miss Lousia Allen who
survives him.
For the past few years his growing
infirmities have kept him from tax.
ing an active part in the varied duties
of life but this did not prevent him
from being interested in the affairs Of
the world. He was man Of varied
experience, good citizen and above
all consistent Christian gentleman.
So passes from our midst one more
of those whose influence and voics
was always tor the righteousness
which exalteth a nation.'' After an
eventful life he Rests in Peace.

Ben Reed. Prayer.
- Westhope, North. Dakota,
October II, 1905.


October II, 1905.
To the Voters of Bottineau county:
As this is large and very popu
lous county and as 1 will be unable to
meet you all personally I take this
method of addressing you.
The expenses Of running this county
are heavy, taxes are high. and the
people have to pay them. so that the
more economically an Office can be
operated the cheaper it will be in the
way of taxes for US all.
It costs now $67, 1884, 40 annually to
operate the business of Bottineau
county, and S., 1854. 1G annually for the
Register of Deeds Office alone. That
Office employs five people as copyists
and clerks at the present time besides
the deputy and the register himself.
This is probably the most important
Office in the county, not only because
of its large drain on the taxpayers
but because the title of your property
depends upon the efficiency Of the en-
ployees. An officer who understands
the intricate part Of the books Of this
Office can save money for tho taxpayers
in more ways than one. A man who
knows nothing of them requires mon
tbs to learn.
While filing the position Of official
abstracter it became necessary for me
to familiarize myself with the records
and all the workings of thereg lister Of
deeds Office, and for that reason will
not require several months to learn,
and also know how the employees
of this Office should do their work.
In all this I think that I can save
money to the county and to the tax
payers.
Thanking you for an honest consid-
GRAFTON of the above stated facts and
for your vote on election day if you
consider me worthy.
Yours truly
Ben B. Reed,
Democratic Candidate for Register
of Deeds.

BANDITS ROB A BANK
Hold Town of Sawyer at Bay for Five
Hours with Rifles.
Rob Stores and Banks Of $4,000 in Cash. Rob-
bers Captured and are Now in Jail.

Sawyer, N. D., Oct. 22.-For three
hours Sunday night this town was
ruled by robbers five in number who
entered the village and began series
of the most outrageous and uhheard
of burglaries and deprodations ever
attempted in the state of North Dakota.
Prior to beginning operations. the ban.
dts cut all the wires telegraph and
telephone, leading out Of the place.
This accomplished. they went to the
department store of A. H. Segerstrom.
where goods and money to the value
of $3.50 were secured. They next en-
tered the Neal hardware store. and the
place of Brasseth & Luna. where guns,
ammunition and money to the value
of about 5000 were taken.
At midnight operations were begun
on the Sawyer State bank. The rob-
bers used six charges of nitro o-glycerine
on the safe door and an unusually
heavy charge on the inner door, which
was blown clean across the street, and
through the second story wall Of the
postofice building, cash to the amount
of 81, 500 being secured. The post
master of Sawyer saw the robbers at
work on the bank and shot at them
from his apartments over the postofice.
The robbers opened fire on him and
fairly riddled the building. Ez
Fred Fulmer, returning home from
an evening call, ran into the robbers.
They called upon him to throw up his
hands. He did not comply and was
thereupon knocked down, oveapowered.

into box car loaded with wheat, and
locked in. He was not discovered un-
til o'clock this morning. ...
A man named Klein, driving into
Sawyer for doctor, tied his team in
front of a grocery store. The robbers
told him to "move on, and upon re-
fusal opened fire. A number of shots
from a shotgun lodged in his cheek,
while the team was badly crippled.
The total value of the plunder and
cash secured by the bandits will
amount to about s., 900.
