EXPECT DIRT TO
FLY MAY FIRST

1t looks very much as though the
Dakota & Western Railway Co. would
be under process of construction early in
May. The grade stakes are being put
in as fast as possible and engineers and
crews have been going out from Mandan
for the past ten days. There are three
divisions of crews at work along the
survey. setting the stakes. One crew is
working near Mandan, one about half
way between Mandan and the Cannon
Ball. The other crew is working on the
proposed grade that follows the Cannon
Ball from where it IT ikes the stream.
Here there is said to be a little difficulty
in that a new river channel will have to
be effected to give the track a way with
out making a deep cut in the bluffs.
BY the first week in May, it is ex-
pected that a large number of men will
be sent out and the dirt will begin to
fly in the grading. Right of way agent
George H. Stone has purchased a lot of
land and many other deals are about
closed. Chief of surveyors Ikstrand il
now making arrangements for board and
supplies for a number of his men t.
remain in Hettinger county during the
construction work this ummer.

RON DOWN BY AN AUTO
STILL able TO travel

! Louis Traunt is the. first man to be
run down by an auto in Dickinson and,
although he was knocked over twenty
feet and then run wei by the machine
he is not so badly off as n might
imagine and after a few days rest
will be able to work at his trade as
butcher. The accident occurred on
Wednesday evening on the corner of
Willard and Sims street neal the Leon
berger block.
Mr.. Traunt was going to the station
to. gel his grip when he was struck by an
automobile driven by DR.. H. A. Davis.
1t seems to have been a case of miscal-
cufation of speed both on the part of the
autoist and the pedestrian and a COL
lislon was the result. Mr.. Traunt was
badly bruised but was not seriously in
jured and is able to be about town. He
is being cared for by DR.. Davis.

GARDENERS HORSES
CAME HOME AGAIN

William Gardner. who lives nine miles
south of town was considerably alarmed
last Friday when he found that fourteen
of his horses were missing. The next
day he made a thorough search for a
radius of several miles in his neighbor-
hood without finding any trace of the
horses.
Late Saturday evening one of the
bunch returned and the first thing to at
tract Nh. Gardner's attention was the
change in the brand. Over the old
brand a half moon brand had been made
by cutting or clipping the hair off tight
to the skin. The new brand made the
owner feel sure. that the horses had been
stolen and that the one that returned
had been cut loose from the bunch be-
cause of her being heavy with foal and
unable to travel fast. On Sunday the
search was renewed but with no success
and Sheriff J. A. Wiech was notified
by Mr.. Gardner.
The next day cards were sent to every
postomce In this part of the country and
officers were notified for miles around to
be on the lookout for any party OF parties
going through the country with a small
bunch Of horses. Mr.. Gardner received
q second surprise Wednesday when a
man from the country brought nine Of
the horses that he rounded up al his farm
several miles distant -Four of the
horses are still missing. but it is ex-
pected that these will be located in a
few days. Ten Of the bunch were
yearlings with no brands and this cir
Fcumstance caused Nj. Gardner more
worry: as il would be q point in favor Of
ustlers.

llIll1'l SEASON LOOKS !. KS. ....
VERY Prosperous

The automobile season for 1909 in
Dickinson starts out with bright pros
poets and from present appearances
quite a good many in this vicinity In
tend to invest in new machines this
spring. There are at present over 50
autos in the city Of Dickinson and about
IS in the surrounding country. As Dick
inson has the only GARAGE in this part
of the country, west of Mandan. it
makes the city the automobile center
for a large territory and even from as
far south as the Milwaukee. It is
necessary to come here for all heavy
repairs.
A LARGE number Of people in Dickin-
son purchased their machines last year
and there are few changes in the new
models. 60 aside from the years wear,
and tear they are al good as new.
With paint and varnish applied during
the winter and the polishing Of the
metal. these autos look spick and span.
Most of the cars out here are built for
speed and wear. rather than appearance.
This is necessary on account Of the hard
roads and uneven going frequently en-
countered in the country. However, it
is the only practical way Of covering
the ground and In some lines Of busi-
ness autos are almost a necessity.
Two carloads of new machines are
expected this week by the Northwestern
Motor CO. of this city, and a ready
market is anticipated for them all, from
the number who have been looking up
the styles and prices with the intention
Of purchasing. These, added to the 120
or 50 now owned in this part of the
country, will make quite a showing.
It is fortunate that Dickinson has so well
equipped a GARAGE. Everything ready
for the seasons rush of business and
the force is to be. increased by two OF
three mechanics within u few days.
This will make the shop capable o.
handling all the work and of running the
auto livery in connection with it.
The following are among those in
Dickinson and vicinity who own autos
at the present time:

CHANGES PLANNED
AT SMITHS STORE

Extensive changes are to be made al
the corner store which will be occupied

cigar and ice cream business. He will
also put in a line of five and ten cent
goods. The whole store will be repaired
and reprinted and made very attractive.
Mr.. Smith is to install two OF three
booths which will be occupied with ice
cream tables, making it possible fol-
small parties to enjoy their frozen
dainties with more privacy than at the
other tables.
