Dogden Observer.

The primary room Of our schools
becoming too crowded, it has been
decided that the two departments
exchange quarters. The enroll
ment in the primary rooms has
now reached 47, and that Of the
advanced grades 20.
It is now understood that. after
gaining a little more valuable ex-
perie nee in the News and Observer
Offices, respectively, the Misses
Edna Tunell and Ida johnson are
going to Miss Tunell's home town
of Foxholm to start newspaper
on their own hook. The name of
the new publication has not yet
been decided upon, but it will no
doubt be hummer, and we shall
be glad to be placed on its ex-

i've upon this side of the Missouri
river, and we sincerely hope that
the good example set by your hon
or will be emulated by future
judges in this district.
s. While we fnlly appreciate
the dignity Of the Office of judge
Of the Sixth judicial district, and
have a lively sense Of the respect
due to..the incumbent Of that po-
sition, yet we cannot help but feel
from the evidence presented be-
fore us, and our knowledge of the
conditions that have prevailed for
the past fifteen years in this
county, that these conditions could
not exist without the knowledge
and at least with the tacit consent,
of the judge Of this district, and
we are constrained to believe that
had he used the power of the high
office which he has filled all these
years, in support of the constitu-
ton and the laws, the conditions
referred to would not have contin-
ued to exist.
After the court had thanked the
jusy for it's labors, he discharged
it and shortly afterward the court
adjourned to February, and thus
closed the most interesting session
held in this county for many years.

A BRIEF STORY
OF GERARD'S
MISSOURI TRIP
As Taken From the Reports Of the
State Historical Society-Near
the N. P. Bridge,
$4,000 Worth Of Gold Taken From
the Miner and Scatter on the
Big Muddy's Wave.

The account of the following
incident, which happened at the
mouth Of Burnt Greek, about 8
miles north of the N. P. bridge
near Bismarck, is taken from the
report Of Historical Society:
In the fall of 1865 a mackinaw
boat from the Montana gold min
ing camps came down the Missouri
river and stopped at Fort Berthold.
On board were seventeen men, one
woman and two children. The
traders showed Gerard where the
bulk of their gold amounting to
$lOO,OOO) was concealed. The boat
had false bottom and beneath
this was small space filled with
sacks Of gold. The men carried
also in their belts gold dust amount
ing to about $4,000. The miners
had heard that the Sioux had
committed massacres in Dakota
and Minnesota, and wished to
ascertain whether the river were
safe for them. Gerard advised
them to stay a week at Fort Ber-
thold, until the Sioux, whom he
had heard were crossing the Mis-
souri, to the west, should be out of
the way. Through some misun-
derstanding or possibly from false
reports the miners decided to push
on at all hazards. Gerard then
warned them to proceed with the
greatest caution, travelling only at
night. camping always on the west
side of the river, and covering
their boat with brush during the
day. Above all else he warned
them not to build fire or fire off
a gun until they were far below
the mouth Of Heart river. In
spite Of these warnings, however,
the occupants of the boat used
none of the usual precautions
necessary in a hostile Indian
country. At the old ford just
north of the Heart river the boat
was discovered by the Sioux and
every person on board was killed
except one little girl who died in
captivity few weeks later. The
bags and belts. containing the
gold dust were cut open
and the contents scattered
on the sand. Gerard afterward
bought two coffee pots full of this
gold dust mixed whit sand which
had been gathered up by some
Arikara, who later visited the
scene Of the massacre. An inde-
pendent trader at Fort Rerthold,
Jos. McEllery, also bought some
of this gold dust.

Don't Let Fear Ruin Business.

OF what earthly use is soldier
who drops his musket and takes te
his heels at the first onslaught OF
the enemy? Where would ma,
ton end with an army Of such
soldiers? Where business?
At present this country stands
face to face with a most absurd
enemy, who came like a bolt from
a clear sky and wholly without
cause.
That enemy is Fear.
Are you good fighter or are
you a coward? Are you going to
lay down arms before this imagin-
ary fictitious apparition, or are you
going to march breast forward
and help break down this fear in
the minds of your customers?
There is no reason why mer-
chants or any one else should be
alarmed. The backbone and foun-
dation of this nation :is its integri-
ty and natural resources, which
are in most superb condition. In
fact. the land 'fows with milk and
honey" The only trouble is the
people (some of them) are scarted
stiff.
And about what? Absolutely
nothing. It's just like a cry of
fire in an opera house where no
fire exists.
Fear is no person, place nor
thing. It has no actual cause-no
real power. In the presence of
confidence it becomes absolutely
nothingness and vanished as dark
ness before the light.
When a snag is blown out of a
river by dynamite the noise creates
excitement, but the snag being re-
moved leaves the river clear.
Several snags are being removed
from the Financial river" but the
should cause no alarm.
With the snags removed this coun-
try's prosperity will flow on great
er and more powerful than ever.
Which side are you fighting on
fear or confidence? Every word
you speak, every thought you
think, has power for good or evil.
Think it over and be an optimist.
-Ex.

Mandan, Dec. 6-The Morton
county grand jury has finished
it's labors and been discharged after
it had filed with the court one Of
the most sensational reports ever
made a record in the district
court of the Slope.
The report swung around the
circle like the tail of a scorpion
and left stings here and there
which will hurt for long time.
The report follows:
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY
We, the grand jury, having COM
pleted our labors, and being about
to adjourn, beg leave to submit to
the court the following additional
and supplemental report:
1. We have carefully examined
the public buildings Of the county,
and find them in good condition
and properly cared for. However,
we find that there are no provisions
made for the care of female pris-
oners or the insane. and we rec
ommend that a room be properly
fitted for the care Of females and
that a cell be padded for the care
of the insane. We find that the
lighting Of the Jail is very made
quate and we recommend that
additional lights be installed in
the Jail building. We also recon-
mend that the vaults of the regis
ter Of deeds and the county auditor
be made freproof. We also find
that the treasurer holds one prom
issory note of S343.79, due county
as payment for one dipping tank
sold to 9. F. Massingham and
others at the Massingham place,
which was due on November LIST,
1904, of which $305 is still unpaid.
We, therefore, recommend that the
states attorney be instructed to
enforce collection of the same.
We find from complaints made to
us that a number of bills presented
by county officers for sots incurred
in the enforcement Of the law,
have been passed over from session
to session blythe board of county
commissioners without action, and
we would recommend that the said
board take some action upon the
same at their next meeting. Our
attention has been called tor'tthe
fact that the county superintend-
ent of schools and states attor-
ney in the past have been very
dilatory and negligent in compel
ling children of school age to
attend school and we therefore
recommend that these officials be
instructed to vigorously enforce
the law in this regard. As fur
ther result of our Investigations we
have found that the board of coun-
ty commissioners fitted up and
maintained room in the vault of
the court house as a resort, where
intoxicating liquors have been
kept and stored, and where the
members have been in the habit !
of congregating with their friends !
and drinking said intoxicating liq-
uors. We deprecate the use of
the public buildings of the county
for such purpose and strongly
recommend that this vicious prac-
tice be abolished.
2. We have taken it upon our
selves to investigate the reform
school and under the escort Of
Superintendent Brown have Wis ]

MORTON C0.JURY
MAKES REPORT
Closes Its Labors With Sharp Criticism Of
Many Public Officials, Not 0mitting
the District Judge.
SHERIFF HANDED A LEMON AND LIKE THINGS

tied the grounds and buildings of
the state reform school located in
this county, and found them ex-
tremely neat and clean, and ably
cared for. We found the inmates
cheerful, happy and apparently
contented. We consider this
institution admirably managed,
and congratulate the state on
having SO energetic and competent
officials in charge thereof.
3. From the Investigations we
have made we are led to believe
that the sheriff of this county has
purposely remiss in the perform
ance Of his duty in respect to the
enforcement of the so-called pro-
hibitory law; we find that condi-
tions have been such that he must
have known that this law has been
continuously and openly violated
throughout the county by a large
number of persons during many
months past. and yet he has taken
no steps whatever to enforce the
law or to punish the law breakers.
We therefore respectfully recon-
mend that the court instruct the
sheriff as to his duties in this re-
gard to the end that in the future
he will take active steps to prevent
further violation of said law.
4. We deplore the fact that GER
tain newspapers of the county. and
especially those official papers
which realize large sums Of money
from the county treasury for pub
lie printing, have deemed it nee
essary and advisable to openly
countenance and encourage the
violation of the prohibitory law,
and we hope that in the future
these papers will succeed in per-
ceiving the drift Of public senti-
ment and conform themselves to
it.
5. Our attention has been called
to the fact that there is consider
able secret gambling going on
throughout the county, and espec-
tally in the city of Mandan, and
while the evidence was not sufh-
cient to warrant indictments, we
are morally certain that a perni-
cious practice is more or less prev
alent. and we sincerely hope that
the newly elected board of COM
missioners for the city of Mandan
will take such steps as to eradicate
this evil in said city and that the
county and village officials thruout
the. county will act accordingly.
6. We deem it our duty to eau
ton those druggists throughout
the county who hold permits for
the sale of liquor for medicinal and
mechanical purposes to exercise a
more careful observance of the
letter and spirit of the statute
authorizing such sales, as there
mas been complaint made to this
body regarding the same.
Z. We desire to thank your hon.
or for the stand taken by you jim
;he matter of the enforcement Of
The prohibitory law in this county
md district, and to congratulate
he law abiding and law observing
citizens of the county upon being
,ven temporarily favored with a
Judge who is fearless in the per-
:ormance of his duty and the en-
:orcement of the laws. realize
hat this is the first time in the
history of our county that the
