SHOOTING AFFAIR FATAL
Two Quarter breed Indians in Drunken
BrawI start Something and One
Dies as Result.

Pretty Rock Sentinel: shooting
affair occurred near Thunder Hawk, be-
tween two quarter breed Indians, Sun
day night as a result of which one of
them is dead and the other under ar
rest. Bob Gillian shot and killed Tom
Powers. The shooting was the result
of a drunken brawl. The affair is the
more sad since they were first cousins,
their mothers being sisters. They re-
side on their allotments in the western
part of the reservation not far from
Lennon. The boys were just return
ing from the agency at Fort Yates with
some cattle that had been issued to
the Indians by the government, and a
number had joined together to drive
their cattle In bunch. 1t appears that
young Gillans name had been men
toned in connection with some horse
stealing that had been going on and
1t is understood that 1t was an ac-
cusation to that effect that caused
Gillian to shoot Powers. 1t is known
that they had been drinking, and it is
believed that Gillian shot, to scare Pow.
ers, rather than to kill him. Several
shots were fired by Gillian. After the
SLOOLhl6 HS TSLufHSu 20 MOrT1SL0Wn
and an Indian agent has since taken
him In charge.
The body Of Tom Powers was taken
to Fort Yates to be buried in the large
Indian cemetery there. Ben Gillian, an
older brother of Gillan's is also in the
tolls Of the law, being charged with
horse stealing, and 1t is curious fact
that his father had just returned from
Linton Saturday night, where he had
gone to bail Ben out. Three parties
are involved in this case, according to
our informant, Ben Gillian, Frank Kief,
and blacksmith of Lennon, who has
been dealing in horses, who is charged
with buying the stolen animals. He
claims he did not know they were
stolen property He is william Bovee,
and he is being held under a $500 bond
Frank Kief is still at large. This case
was set to be tried at Linton yester-
day.

st. Paul. Mimi, Aug. 12.-There is
no greater honor which Harvard col
lege, the oldest college in the United
States, can bestow, than that accord
ed the northwest and west in the cleo
ton of Howard Elliott, president OF
the Northern Pacific, .as a member OF
its board of overseers. The south
west and middle west have been rep
resented among the thirty overseers
but the northwest and Pacific west
have not heretofore received recogni-
tion. Overseers of Harvard are elect
ed on commencement day. They rep
resent 1906 men holding degrees
from this university who are nov
alive. ...
To be elected an overseer is the
most distinguished honor that can be
conferred upon a Harvard alumnus
President Elliott's name was submitt-
ed with twenty others Of prominent
Harvard men to all living alumni for
a letter ballot. Each graduate voted
for six men and the twelve highest in
the total vote were placed on an off,
cial Australian ballot and were voted
III ny OH present
commencement. Mr.. Elliott received
the largest vote of any of the nomi-
nees, an additional and emphatic rec
ognition of the increasing importance
of the west, and fitting recognition
of his energetic work in the interest
of the ancient institution of learning.
F. A. Daleno of Chicago and George
d. Markham of st. Louis are members
of the Harvard overseers. These were
the only men living outside of the At
lantic coast states. The election Of
Mr. Elliott who serves for term of
six years, gives the great empire from
st. Paul to Puget Sound direct repres-
entation and an active influence in
the management of Harvard, and en-
ables the west to voice it's convictions
in the government of the great uni
versity Harvard has many grad

FORGER MUST PAY
PENALTY FOR WORK
CARL STONE RosT is BROUGHT
BACK FROM MINNEAPOLIS AF-
TER SERVING SIXTY DAYS FOR
FORGERY THERE-sToLE SUIT
AND PASSED BUM CHECK HERE

AS a result OF effective work in
sleuthing, Deputy Sheriff ]. X. Bing-
ham arrived last evening from Min
neapolis having is custody Carl Stone
Rost who is wanted here on charges
of both forgery and larceny. Rost
will have to answer for forging the
name of George H. Dover on a check
made payable to himself for SIS, which
was cashed at Alex Stern & Co. He
might also be prosecuted for the theft
OF suit of clothes belonging to Mr..
Dover.
The check, which was drawn on the
First National bank of this city, was
dated May 26, which is the date of the
departure of Rost from Fargo, The
forgery was never reported to the po-
lice and it was not until Chief Grant
received word from Minneapolis that
a man named Rost had just sold a
suit of clothes on which was found
the name of George H. Dover of this
city. The chief called on Mr.. Dover,
who is employed at the Stone Piano
Co. and inquired IL he had lost a suit.
1t was not until he had examined his
wardrobe in the Elliott that he dis
covered his loss.
1t appears that Rost broke into
Dower's room and besides taking a
winter suit, got next to his check book
A blank check and another bearing
Dower's signature were taken. With
the original for pattern he was soon
able to copy the signature and the
check for SIS was drawn.
At Minneapolis he was arrested for
endeavoring to pass forged note and
served sixty days in the work house.
The complaint was filed in Judge H.
F. Miller's court June Is. On account
of the absence of the justice, Rost was
arraigned before Judge Martin Ryan
in the police coure yesterday after
non and his case wac adjourned to
Friday at 10 o'clock. In default of
bonds he was committed to the coun-
ty Jail On account of there being two
charges on which to prosecute, there
lis little chance of the man escaping
a term behind the bars.

Coaches Returning From the West to

lt is easily discernable which way
traffic is the heaviest this summer.
The long surings of empty coaches
which are hauled east every day tells
the story in an effective manner.
Hardly a train goes east without talk
ing several coaches, with doors locked.
The immense amount OF traffic west
ward has taken large percentage of
the rolling equipment towards the ex-
position, which is being returned as
