DIES WITH BOOTS ON;
WISH COMES TRUE

Ambrose, N. D.. June 2.-"Dutch," a
Desperate, who long has been a terror to
the good citizens of this vicinity, died
with his boots on" as he often said he
would. He shot up the town once too
often and his fate. 1t is hoped, will serve
as a warning to the lawless element along
the Canadian boundary.
The bad man began his work In the con-
ventional manner of desperadoes, first
loading up on a sufficient quantity of red
eye" to make him mean. Then leaping to
the back OF his horse, he plunged spurs
into the steed, and with a brace of big
pistols f%lourishing rode straight to the
door of a blind pig"
The horse plunged through the door and
Dutch" fired several shots and ordered
booze for himself and animal. Several
more drinks put the bad man. in the
proper spirit for a 'frolic,'' and reloading
his guns he turned his horse into the
street.
"Dutch"-nobody knows his real name
started down the main t~horoughfare,
shooting right and left as he rode. ]. A.
Ltpphardt, an editor, was slow In getting
out of the way and a bullet put his pencil
hand out of business for a time at least.
Attorney L.. s. Todd was the next target,
but Dutch's aim was bad. :,
About this time a citizens pose of 40
was ready with revolvers and rifles to try
conclusions with Dutch and a bullet
sent him tumbling from his horse, dead,
as he hoped, with his boots on"

BUTTE COUNTY TO BE
DIVIDED INTO THREE

Camp Creek, S. D., May 29.-At last
the people of Butte county have come
to an agreement of the division of the
county. For some time there has been
need of a segregation, but the people
of the county could not come to an
agreement on the matter. The people
on the sparsely settled ranges want to
be in a county by themselves lest the
people in the thickly settled parts vote
the herd law on them and curtail their
chief industry. A committee has de-
cided upon d division which, it is be-
lieved will be satisfactory to all sec
tons. A new county, Stokes it will
probably be called, will be blocked out
in the northwestern corner. this will
make two other coupties in the south
and east of Stokes county, of nearly
equal size, named Butte and Lennon,
respectively. This will allow the people
on the ranges a county by themselves
and avoid conflict.
