livery barn of Chas. Will; Will
was a contractor for two star mail
routes, which he sub-letto Runyon.
Some time after coming to town
Runyon opened butcher shop in
Dc,erman s store. This was Run
yon's first mistake. He forgot to
ask permission of Ferris. Runyon
thot he was living in the United
States, where he was guaranteed
life, liberty and the pursuit Of
As others, he saw his
too late.
Sometime in the spring of 1907
some parties came to Medora with
a view of locating homcstcads,
and while at the hotel they were
told of some open land up the river.
Runyon, as liveryman, was en-
ploycd by these men to take them
up to see the land, which he did.
That there was Il shack on some
OF the land filed on by these men
is not denied: but there are many
shacks in the Bad Lands, where
no filing has been made. These
parties went to Dickinson where
they found that the land. on which
the shack was located, was open
for settlement. They did what
they had perfect right to do and
what 80 men out of 100 would
have done-filed.
Mr.. Schy could not hold this
land. because he had already used
his right. Can a man hold land
forever because Ing builds shack
on it! If this could be done, no
one could get a homestead in this
county, and Mr.. Nelson, if he
knows anything, knows this.
But Mr.. Schy was not the man
who made the howl, and Mr.. Nell
son knows this too. 1t was anoth.
er party who lived some distance
up the river. Mr.. Ferris took up
this parties quarrel. The meat
market had been ranking in his
brain for some time; here was his
chance. If there was any fuss
made by the citizens, Mr.. Ferris
was the main aggitator and ring
leader. Did he not. as postmaster,
go to Chas. Will and tell him that
he would not give Runyon the
mail to carry, but that Will must
get someone else! Did he not
openly boast that he had run Run
yon out Of business!
The affair was, to say the least,
disgraceful and the act of a bully.
But bullies are towards when they
want votes.
Mr.. Runyon had wife and
three small children and at this
mans within was run out of bust
ness. Mr.. Runyon is still in this
county. See if you can get an
affidavit from him contradicting
the foregoing, Mr.. Nelson!
MIR. Ferris is the man who was
responsible for the appointment of
j. "A. McGregor as county auditor.

HENRY HOWE is DEAD
Former Resident of Dallas Succumbs
To Sudden Attack of Heart
Failure.

A telegram was received in Dallas,
Wednesday morning, announcing the
death of Henry Howe at his home in
Bellingham, Washington. The tele-
graphic message was followed yester-
day by letter from Frank Howe, a
son of the deceased, giving the particu-
lars of his sudden death, which was
due to an attack of asthma and heart
trouble.
Mr.. Howe had gone to bed on Mon
day night apparently i'll the best of
health. Shortly after he awoke Tues
day morning the attack occurred,
resulting in death within the period
Of only two hours.
Henry Howe was a son of William
and Catharine Howe and was born in
Newtown, Indiana, November II,
1882. He came to Oregon in 1851 and
lived near Perrydale until 1860. when
he moved to Dallas.
He was married in Goldendale,
Washington, August 20, 1867, to Miss
America Jenkins, who died in this city
October 15, 1897. After her death he
moved with his family to Skagway,
Alaska, and after a few years resi-
dence in that city, went to Bellingham,
Washington, where he resided until
the time of his death.
He is survived by three brothers,
Robert and James Howe, of Dallas,
and Zachary Howe, of Seattle; a
daughter, Mrs. Nellie Shoemake, of
Seattle, and son, Frank Howe, Of
Bellingham.
The remains will be brought to
Dallas this morning and the funeral
service will be held in the Methodist
church at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Burial will be in the old cemetery
west of the Odd Fellows cemetery.
A man of many excellent qualities,
Mr.. Howe gained the respect and
friendship of all, and his sudden
death will occasion the deepest and
most sincere regret among his many
friends.

some almost shanghigh berries, (eggs)
a grunt and a cackle (ham and eggs
a cup Of near coffee and some not
quite pie" Well, you won't find any
''near coffee around this shop that is,
if we sell it to you for coffee. Our
eggs are fresh-no eastern or packed
eggs. It's easy for a grocer to give
you a good run for your coffee money
if he isn't too stingy. Our coffee is
better than ever before. 1t all depends
upon how much a grocer is willing to
pay for his coffees. You can buy the
real Old Govt. Java or you can buy
near Java which comes from Brazil,
but whatever we sell you whether it is
Java, Mocha and Java or Costa Rica,
you may know it is the best grade
that can be sold for the money.

A wagon passed through Northern
Kansas, says missouri paper, bear
ing the following inscription: Colo
rado and irrigation, Kansas and star
walton. I'm going to my wife's rela-
tion and make no demonstration"
A Missouri editor took the matter
up and answered as follows: They
ought to come to Missouri, where
there is no irrigation and a man
with education can engage in specu-
lation, bring along his wife's rela~
ton, have a good time and free SAL
vation with no danger of starvation.
This is worth consideration" That
made Kansas editor warm under
the collar and he is responsible for
this outbreak: 'The above narration
is snort prevarication that has OBJ
tanned circulation among people Of
vivid Imagination. Such fabrication
have hindered immigration, retard-
ed education, prevented irrigation,
are the shame of civilization and ara
absolutely without foundation. The
population mentioned in the above
narration are the scum of creation,
are beyond salvation, deserve starva-
tion and can have free transporta-
tion to that land OF speculation, OF
to the Indian nation, or to helendam-
nation upon applications"
It is with commiseration, tha. we
think of the people in those portions
of our nation and respectfully cite
them to this we'll known quotation:
