Sentinel Butte items

From the Republican, June o.
j. H. Moore, the Williams rancher-
farmer, purchased a full blooded
imported French Percheron stallion
at the Dickinson Horse Sales this
week and took him out to the ranch
yesterday. Mr.. Moore is areadly
raising good horses but is evidently
going t. improve them.
Art. tombstone of Alpha, who
has been having a very serious
time with his foot since it was
hurt in an exposition in a we'll
last spring. was up from Dickin-
son last Thursday and says the in
jured member is improving nicely.
1t still has to be dressed every lay,
however, so he returned to Dick
inson that evening.
Deputy State Veterinarian And
erson was here the latter part Of
last week and tested all Of Sever
son Bros horses, finding two more
infected with CHAMBERS, which
were killed. There are no further
evidence of the disease and it is
thought that the matter was taken
up early enough to be "nipped in
he bud, !" as the saying is, and that
no further cases will develop.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sundburg arrived
last Friday from Chicago for a
visit with relatives. Mrs. Sund-
berg was formerly Jessie Strahon
of this place. Mr.. Martin took
them out to the Strahon home in his
new auto, and then made a tour of
the Valley via. Beach, returning
home in the evening, and reports

warm weather.
A petition has been drawn up
and is being circulated for the
building Of road from a point
one mile west of Sentinel Butte
straight south along the township
line for q dstanice Of twelve miles.
This will bring the road pretty we'll
down into the Burkey country and
will give those people an excellent
road to reach this town-which is
certainly badly needed. When
this road is completed the Burkey
mail will doubtless be carried that
way as the present route is almost
impossible.

appear before the local U. S. land
Office on the 18th Of July and de-
fend himself against the charge
of knowing that his land contain
ed a merchantable mine of coal at
the time Of entry, contrary to law
and to what he swore in his oath.
A special government inspector
hasbeen going over the land in this
district finding out what section
are more valuable for the coal than
agricultural purposes. This in
spector charges that Fishers land
contains valuable deposits of Ignite
coal and is chiefly valuable there
fore, also that the entryman had
knowledge Of the same before fill
ing. The question of residence is
not involved.
o. R. Branick of this city is an
other whose claim is contested by
the government. His land is in
section 20-139-97. One of the
forties contained coal deposits of
value. His home was built in this
quarter. Branick relinquished the
forty to the government and then
bought back the land in the usual
way coal lands are filed upon.
The question in this case would
seem to be whether he ever estab-
lished residence on the other three
forties.
Gustav Belzer, near Beach must
answer to charge similar to that
of Fishers. Earnest Prehn of Beach
is charged with making entry not
for the purpose of securing a home
stead but for speculation. Jessie
Strahaw's claim is contested on
the grounds that she never estab-
lished a residence. All these cases
will be heard at the land office in
the near future. A thirty days
notice was issued claimants this
month.
Notices have also been sent out
to nearly l25 homesteaders in this
district, informing them that they
have sixty days in which to elect
to take patent for their land. such
patent to reserve to the United
States all coal in the lands or to
prove that deposits of valuable coal
did not exist upon the land at date
of final proof and entry.
By electing to take the patent,
the homesteadsteder can mine coal
for his own use but not to sell or
give away.
In some of the government cir
culars it is noted that a 36-inch vein
of coal even depth of 500 feet is
considered merchantable and the
land therefore more valuable for
mining than for agricultural pur-
poses.
A good many entrymen, after
getting the notice, elect to accept
what is known as the service pat.
ent because they argue that the
government will never find coal
on the land in paying quantities
to mine. Others will likely prefer
to have a hearing and, if possible,
clear up the title.-Dickinsor

No Refer for North Branch,

CREsTON, Ia, Nov, 13-(speclal)-A
communication recently received from p. S.
Eustis, passenger traffic manager OF the
Burlington. by the railroad commissioner
says that no relief can be afforded north
branch towns on the Creston & Cumber-
land lines at present, that the income from
this line at present Is not sufficient TO
Werrant Idded expense OF regular passen-
ger traffic. He says no formal complaint
has ever been made to the State Railroad
board, but complaints had been made 20
officials Of the company by patrons OF
the road, and as all branch service was
now receiving attention, he had taken up
this matter himself and thinks II impos-
sible to make any improvement at present.
From this 1t is inferred that until some
formal complaint is filed with the com
missioner the north branch towns will
have TO accept the inevitable. But recently
the committees from those towns have been
busy and have laid a formal complaint
with the commissioners Just what action
may be expected later Is hard 10 predict,

OF the case by II. S. Ridgeley. senior eoun-
sci for the defense. Brink offered to let

Mayor MRlOney Presents Proposition
TO Accomplish Result.
Mayor Thomas Maloney is to the fore
again with the proposition to repave
Broadway. which has nearly as many ruts
In It as a plowed field. He has had City
Solicitor KimbaH prepare a petition to be
circulated among the owners Of Broadway
property between Scott street and the
crossing between Main and Fourth streets,
asking for the requirement. Of tina portion
Of the t~horoushfare. Unless something
happens the mayor will circulate the petit
ton today so as to have it ready to pre-
sent to the city oouno at it's meeting Mon
day night.
The petition as drawn by the city So
licitor at the mayors instance. calls for
requirement. of the central portion Of the
street with vitrified pressed brick on a
six-lnch concrete base, while the cutters
on both sides Of the street for a space Of
four feet from the curbs, are to be re-
paved with the granite blocks with which
Broadway is now paved.
1t has been suggested to use some as
phalt filler for both brick and stone, and
when the petition is circulated, the senti-
ment OF the property owners interested
will be sounded as to this. The filler
would add slightly to the cost, but would
make q pavement which, It is claimed.
would be practically noiseless and much
more durable than when a filler is not
used.
The councilmen are in favor Of the i'm
provement If the property owners want it,
and II the petition receives the necessary
number Of ~signers, it will undoubtedly be
ordered.
