Chief Geronimo Dead.

Geronimo, the noted Indian chief,
died Feb. II, at the fort at Lawton,
Oklahoma, where he had been confined
as prisoner of war for 50 years. Ger
onimo died at the hospital at the fort
army post of pneumonia after two days
illness and was buried in the Indian
cemetery near the fort. The funeral
was conducted by Christian missionar-
les, the decedent having professed re-
ligion three years ago.
In the passing away of this noted
brave, once again is brought to mind
that the evolution of the human race is
but THE Survival of the Fittest. +"
Geronimo, that noble red man of the
proud, blood-thirsty, and naughty
Apache tribe of Arizona, of original
Americans, he who never bent knee
to an enemy nor shirked his duty to a
friend, is but memory now. A men,
ory of that fast dying race, the right
full owners of all American soil. To
those who have been accustomed to the
native Incidence of the coast tribes of
Indians, the name does not appeal, but
to one, as the writer, who has expert
enced the naughty yet courteous treat
ment of the "Chip off the old Block
tribes, the death of old Chief Geronimo
brings pang of regret.

license to wed from County Clerk
Sitton last Tuesday, They then pro-

and he felt rather shaky for fear he
wouldn't do good job, but owing to
the fact that both were non-residen Is
he took a chance.

A Good Bill by Douglass

Senator R. L. Douglass passed
a bill through the Senate Tuesday
providing for an appropriation of
SIS, 900 for an experimental farm
in Churchill County. We know
very little of the provisions of
this bill, but can readily grasp
. the Importance of same. 1t now
remains for the Assembly to give
its sanction.
Such an appropriation would
be of vast benefit to our settlers
and especially to the new comers.
We think this is a good opportun-
ity for the Fallon Commercial
Club to impress upon our assem-
blymen the Importance Of this
bill.

Will Draft Ordinance.

AT meeting of the Council Tuesday
night it was decided to frame up an or
dinanee for the issuance of $500
bonds. Another meeting will be held
Saturday evening for the first reading
Of this ordinance and the matter will
be decided at the next regular meeting,
next Tuesday.
Mr.. Hall, agent for the Fairbanks
Morse Co., of Reno, was present and
gave the board facts and figures rela-
tive to the installation of a water sys-
TEN.
We hope to see the bond issue 20
through without hitch. Think of the
reduced insurance rate, of the fire pro-
lection, of the domestic convenience,
and last, but not least, of the means
we would have of Identifying our city.
We would soon have sewage system.
The tax on the water and sewage bonds
would not amount to as much as the
present rate of sanitary tax and con
slider the difference in the service and
the property valuation that would re-
suit.
The present board deserves great
credit for their efforts to upbuild the
city. We, as citizens, should give then
every support in our power.

TRIED TO solve
GIRL QUESTION
RIOT CALL SENT IN TO THE Po-
LICE STATION EARLY THIS
MORNING WHEN PRETTY
CHORUS GIRLS BECAME HYs-
TERIcAL AT SIGHT OF MEN.

A couple of Fargo men took it upon
themselves to solve the girl question
last night, or early this morning, and
it was not until Capt. Louis Dahlgren
had been called and arrived on the
scene, that all were assured that there
was no great danger imminent.
1t was about / o'clock this morning
when four pretty members OF the
Girl Question troupe returned to the
Swart house after enjoying a fine
motor ride about the city. They were
just in love with Fargo, declaring that
there were more good looking young
men in the North Dakota metropolis
than any city they had struck this
season.
They were assigned a front room
and were in the act Of retiring when
the entire household was aroused with
hysterical screecnes. Peaceful slum-
ber OF scores was suddenly ended with
the fear that murder was being COM
mitted.
The girls explained that couple of
men were trying to gain entrance
through the window, after having
climbed the porch.
One Of the winning young ladies
claimed that the zen semble" which
followed the first scream, resembled
the "nightie" chorus Of roof garden

OPPOSE PLAN FOR
A WATER SUPPLY
SEVENTH WARDERs HAVE SIGN.
ED A PROTEST AGAINST THE
SCHEME FOR REINFORCING Ac-
Qua SUPPLY - DIFFERENCE IN
OPINION AS TO COST.

1t is quite likely that the Seventh
ward will attract considerable atten-
ton at the meeting OF the city council
this evening. The plan for reinforc-
ing the water supply OF that section
Of the city will doubtless hold the
boards for some time.
At the last meeting OF the council
plans were accepted for laying a
twelve inch main along broadway from
the G. N. tracks and then off into the
ward to connect at intersections with
smaller mains.
Since that meeting the opposition
has got busy and petition has been
circulated and it is claimed freely
signed. protesting to the plan on the
grounds that the cost would be con-
f1scatory.
Alderman Tibert claims that the
main can be laid at a. cost not to ex-
ceed $4,000, while the opposition as
sert that it would cost close to $40, 900.
1t is believed that If assurance is given
that the cost will not exceed the for
mer figure that many of those who
signed the petition would be willing to
withdraw. Scores of names are on the
petition now. and 1t is believed the
document will be presented to the
council this evening.

CHECK FORGER CAUGHT
German Journalist, Who Got $125 for
Nothing at Dickinson, Arrested 81
in Montana.

Dickinson Post: August Vetterlein.
the well-known Stark county charac-
ter, who recently cashed a forged check
in this city and fed with the proceeds
Of his handiwork. $125, was located at
Billings last Sunday and thrown into
jail to await the arrival OF Sheriff
John WEIGH.
August was glad to see the sheriff
upon his arrival at Billings the first of
the week and consented to return to
Dickinson and prison without the for
mality of extradition papers. He also
assured the friends he met on the
street en- route to the county bastile
from the train that Dickinson looked
good to him.
AS a further exhibition Of his good
nature the German Journalist has en-
tered plea of guilty and will be up
for sentence before Judge Crawford
at the September term Of the district
court.
This is the second occasion within
the past two years upon which Aug
ust has made an effort to go west and
get start with the country, but this
time, as upon the former excursion, he
got to Billings and allowed himself to
be lured from the train and into the
arms Of the law.

Casselton can boast of no police court
morning with John Wheeler in their

public place last week he uttered
language which was highly resented.
Sasselton can boast of no police court
and it was necessary to bring the man
here. A warrant was issued and the
defendant arraigned before Judge H.
Miller in the justice court. He adj
mitted his guilt, waving examination.
His bond was fixed at 5000, in default
of which he was committed to the

the matter OF issuing an order of re-

nothing whatever to do until the pris-
oner is turned over by the marshal OF
Texas who will have Jones in custody

1t is likely that Jones will be tried
in the federal court here in place of
the Minot district, for the convenience

will put up fight is considered a fore
