TERRIBLE OUTRAGE
IN JACKSON PARISH
Bulgafians Assaulted, Robbed,
Driven from Their Homes
and One Murdered.

in . long time as it was early in
the week by the reception of the
outrages, ending in murder. per-
petrsted against party of Bull
garian and Macedonian en-
igrants near Award, jackson
parish, last Saturday and Sunday.
The most direct and authentic
information of the particulars o.
this lawlessness eliminating In
murder was furnished BY Dis
trict Attorney o. M. Grisham of
this place, who promptly went to
the scene when notified of its
perpetration. 1t seems that
thirty Bulgsrians and Macsdor-
lana, recently imported to this
country and ignorant of its Gus
toms and language, arrived ut
Dunham's camp, near the IRE
mont & Gulf Railroad, one mile
from Award. Jackson parish, and
were employed as laborers by the
fremont Lumber Company.
They were a quiet and peabeable
people. The fremont & Gulf
were short of hands and hired
any men who wanted work and
employed these men, paying them
the same day wages that they
paid to their other laborers.
Last Saturday crowd of peo-
ple assembled in Award or Chat
hamviIle, composed of some
farmers residents anI some
negroes, and discussed the pre-
sence of the foreigners. Finally
. committee composed of N. j.
Chatham, Garner, DR.. 5. q
WeIden and John Harrison were
selected to confer with the fore
man of the Camp and discuss with
him the question of the removal
Of the Bulgarlans and advise him
OF the thteatened danger from
their presence. The foreman In
formed them that he had NO
authority to act aud advised the
committee to communicate with
the I & G officials at WINFIELD.
This they did and arrangements
we're made to bring them to thin
town which was done. They held

promptly.
An investigation by these off.

promptly arrested and loslged in

has been conducting an extensive horse
business tor several years. but be may
transfer his interests to this part of the
state a little later.
William Gardner has purchased the
beautiful, grey percheron stallion, which
was exhibited at the last horse sale BY
w. M. Mccormick of Enderlin. The
horse cost Mr.. Gardner $1,000 and is one
Of the best ever shipped into this county.
This stallion, "Tasso," took sweepstake
prizes at the Iowa state, fair at Des
Moines, the Minnesota state fair at
Minneapolis and the grand fair at
Winnipeg. The horse is we'll known ny

Headlight: Geo. Harkins stopped in
Hartmann nuor nSr1k tko Eret of thA
week, en- route home from the Chicago
live stock market, where he sold about
300 head of range steers. He reports
striking a fairly active market and is
we'll satisfied with the prices obtained.
M. Harkins has been engaged in the
range cattle business for the past eigh-
teen years, and has been more than
ordinarily successful, having topped the
Chicago market for range cattle for four
or five years in succession, receiving as
high as $40 during the high water
period. The homesteader has recently
made such Entertainments on his range
that he has concluded to retire from the
live stock business, except in a small
way, handling only such as he has pas
ture room for. He expects to engage in
the banking business at Bowman.

the W. young men who, it is claimed,
stole two head of horses from Peter
Markuson, at Orman. on September u,
have been captured in Mckenzie county.
After the theft of the horses the young
men created considerable excitement
by a wholesale thieving and hold.up
crusade through Custer county, Mont.
On Powder river they held up Frank
Osgood and compelled him to give up
his horse, saddle and pistol and also
asked him for money. From Osgood's
camp they went to M. M. Edwards
place, where they stole a pair of boots,
from there they went on up Powder
river, where they stole two horses, then
to Richardson's ranch, where they took
a winchester and some ammunition.
They will be taken to Belle Fourche as
DON as an officer can be sent for them.

that these conclusions were wrong. /.
We have IL upon good authority that

Is now a settled fact that he Is work :

We are most creditably informed
that the large surveying party which
outhtted at Redrock some two weeks
ago have been following the Eaton
survey over the bill, or rather d, the
hill. For the last ten days they are
said to nave been locating a site for
tunnel through the range on this
survey. 1t may be that both OF these
surveys are being run In the interest
OF the the same company. The
thought occurs that the first line was
run hurridly to ascertain a general
available route, and the large party
starting out later is proving up the

work final for actual construction.
In studying up the situation we
have been OF the opinion for some
time that when We do get a line OF
railway, we will get two. The Sal
mon river canon Is hnquestionab bis
the most feasible route now left to
the coast, as most OF the other avail
able routes through the mountains
have been taken. The Short Line

foi years and would never think OF
BUILDING to this point unless they
we're forced 10 do so by competing
line In order TO hold the trade. This
Is the nrst time 10 twenty five years
that the Short Line has shown any
uneasiness or activity, for all there
have teen several surveys made. IL
Is now evident to our mind that
there Is trunk line making for this
point, and the Shoit Line people are
beginning to realize this fact. We
are firmly OF the conviction that
something will be doing' the com.

Since Monday night the Chinese OF
this city have been celebrating theil
New Year, the festivities to last for
at least two weeks. The watch ser.
vices were held until midnight when
the new year was ushered In by the
discharge OF fire woks and any other
kind Of performance which would
drive away his Satanic majesty.
The Celestials Of this city followed
out traditions as near as the condi-
tions would admit Of. II they owed
their countrymen or any OF of the
business firms of the city the first
thing they did on the new year was
to pay these debts. In this respect
many Americans could pattern after
the policies of the heathen Chinese
with credit to our civilization. In
this city there are close to thirty
Cinnamon, including two the gentler
sex. So far as has been possible they
have followed the customs OF their
native land In their celebration.
The 2stb, or the last day Of the fes-
tivities will be their great day.
Then the largest banquet OF all will
be spread, during the feast good luck
balls will be shot to the ceiling, all
making scramble for the same.
Tuesday afternoon a small party con-
sisting of the writer, his better-h half
and Mr.. and Mrs. George Meitzler
called on the Chinese row. At every
place we were received with the Ut
most courtesy, and nothing eatable,
drinkkable, or smokable were too
good for us. At every place we were
offered all kinds of Chinese fruits,
CONNECTIONS, and Anne rican whiskey,
wine and cigars. We were well
enough acquainted with these brands
to know they were only of the most
expensive brands In the markets.

Home Paper the Best Medium.

Advertising is rapidly becoming
one OF the greatest questions In every
legitimate business large or small.
There are two things absolutely nec-
essary to tile continued prosperity Of
business establishment, referring
more particularly to mercantile bust
ness. The first one OF these is that
the merchant should have In stock
commendable goods; the second one
is that the merchant should find the
medium which will reach the buying
public In manner that will best
place before them the things he Is
advertising.
When these two conditions are met
the volume OF business will depend
on the merchant himself. AS an ad-
yertising medium for the home mer.
chant there is none better than the
bone newspaper. But the ad In the
newspaper will never sell a piece of
goods. 1t will present to hundreds
and possibly thousands of people the
fact that certain merchant carries
certain goods at certain prices. 1t
will call to the mind of the readers
that they are In need of such goods
and that the opportunity is being
offered to buy them at reasonable or
perhaps unusually low prices.
With these facts presented to the
minds Of the readers it will lead
them toEseek out this certain mer.
