elizabeth HILL AT
NJ. E. CHURCH DEC. |

The ladies of the Methodist church
have secured Miss Elizabeth Hill. reader.
for the entertainment of the people of
Dickinson for one night only, Decem-
ber /. Miss Hill has made decided
reputation for herself in this state as
well as her native state of Minnesota.
A reading given by her recently under
the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. of Fargo
was very favorably commented upon by
the newspapers of that city.
Miss Hills repertoire runs the entire
gamut from humorous TO pathetic. and
her character sketches are strikingly
human.
The ladies of the Methodist church
should be rewarded for their enterprise
in bringing Miss Hill, by fine audience
next Wednesday evening at 80.

625 BARRELS OF FLOUR
RECORD FOR LOCAL MILL

This week the Russell-Miller Mill Co.
made a record of 625 barrels of flour for
one days grinding. The mill has been
averaging better than 600 barrels right
along for some weeks, which is splen-
did record and means the grinding up of
about 5000 bushels of wheat every "a
hours.
The mill runs every hour in the day
and when lighted at night makes bril-
liant appearance. very noticeable from
almost any part of the city.
Manager Davidson has hardly had time
10 come down town at any time for six
weeks, but he is we'll pleased with re-
suits obtained at this new mill. rhe
average daily shipments of -four are
carloads, the product going into all the
leading markets west as for distant as
San Diego, California, where several
local citizens are writing and are order
ing for their tables the famous Climax
brand of -four ground at the Dickinson
mill.
The Russell-Miller Mill Co. elevator
is buying on an average 3, 900 bushels Of
wheat per day and the farmers seem to
appreciate the service they are getting. },

SOUTH SIDE SCHOOL
IS Guaranteed

The public school house on the South
Side was placed in quarantine Mon
day, owing to the prevalence of diph-
liberia in the school.
For the past three or four weeks there
have been pupils in the school rooms,
suffering from the disease: and the
young child of Gus Anderson. that
died from the effects of diphtheria
Monday. had been playing with the
school children during intermission.
A lite eight-year-old girl, Sylvia
Englebrecht. who was in Mrs. Noark s
room. had been i'll with diphtheria for
week before she was taken from
school; and Floyd Nelson, a pupil in
Miss Larson's room, was ill for several
days before he left off coming to
school.
This is a bad. state of affairs for
the city; but il is hoped that thorough
fumigation Of the school rooms during
the quarantine. and close watching for
the development of new cases. will result
in stamping out this disease which is
gaining such foothoId here.

RED CROSS STAMPS
MILLIONS FOR USE

The first supply of the Red Cross
Christmas stamps has been received
and placed on sale at the postoffice and
drug stores in Dickinson. The money
accruing from the sale of these stamps
will be used by the North Dakota Anti
tuberculosis society in their fight against
tuberculosis in the state.
1t is expected that during the next six
weeks people will buy these little Christ
mas stickers literally for greetings to be
placed on letters and packages sent out
during the holiday season. The Ameri-
can Red Cross has nationalized this work
and hopes through the sales of these
stamps to accumulate this year fund
of five hundred thousand dollars with

Mr.. Harnden will give possession the
first of next March.
MIR. Harnden settled at Antelope in

ed fine grove of trees. erected good

His sons, j. F. and David Harnden,
have been associated with their fsther

tc e-a ~. !. : WATER SUPPLY
,o''esa 'E@. sso9eieE i'm IN RIVER

The Northern Pacific Ry. Co. is taking
every precaution to make sure of their
water supply at this point. The big
reservoir west of the city was dug out
so late that it could not be filled before
the ground froze and it is not quite
certain how useful il will be during the
winter. The company is placing tenn
porary dam in the Heart river just below
the reservoir and installing pumping
station, connecting with the reservoir
with an eight inch cast iron main: This
main can be connected with the main
leading to the city, so that water can
be pumped directly into the tanks in
the yards, and when the tanks are sup
piled the pumping station will throw
the surplus water into the reservoir. 1t
is believed that this can be handled in
q way to keep the reserve supply from
freezing solid.
Next spring the railroad company will
construct concrete dam at the river and
perfect the reservoir SO that twill be
capable Of storing sevefal months supply
of water, thus avoiding the. necessity OF
using river water when it is muddy.
The company alsoshas the old pump
ing station at the river just southeast Of
the city.

The building has 50-foot frontage on
Broadway street and has full base

fall and several cars of other fruits.
They erected a poultry picking plant
last week and in two days dressed $50

BASKET BALL SEASON
Later Than USUAL

Owing to the extremely busy season.
most of the basketball captains have
found it hard work to keep up the steady
practice necessary for the working out
of fast team. Captain Baird of the
local company team is vely much en-
couraged by the showing his men are
now making at practice; and says with
some good hard work from now on he
will have fast first team and another
close second to eep them in trim and
to draw subs from in case of vacancy.
Manager Fleury says it is almost i'm
possible to arrange dated schedule
with the teams in this part of the state
at present. but promises some good fast
games after the holiday rush. One game
with Fargo college has practically been
arranged for, excepting the date, this
team wishes to stop off here en- route for
western points.
Monday night practice game will be
played between the first and second
teams of Co. K.

LOOKS FOR GOOD SALES
MANY LAND INQUIRIES

F. A. Little of Fayette is recognized
every where as very conservative real
estate dealer. He has shown perhaps
more acres than almost any man the
last year or two, and his close business
relation with both the owner and buyer
OF lands has placed him in position
to know the public pulse in these
matters.
Mr.. Little gives it as his opinion that
the true value of our lands has not been
fully appreciated in the past. Our lands,
he says, are not high priced and buyers
are coming to realize this, as is evi-
denced by the steadily increased in
quiries from those who want quarter
or half section of land for home.
Mr.. Little has made several very salts
factory sales in the past two weeks. but

FAVORABLE
EVIDENCE
Senator Simpson Introduces Re-
buttal Evidence That Tells for
His Side-Charges Detectives
With Bold Forgeries.

Following the dramatic defiance of Dan
Russell 10 the attorneys for his brother.
William C. Russell, 10 produce the broth
er in court and convince the judge by
his statements and appearance that he,
Dan, was not his brother. the work of
rebuttal was begun.
A new turn was given the case when
several witnesses from New York. rela-
tives of the Rosseau family, were called
by Attorney Simpson in rebuttal. In
some inst tances these witnesses abso-
lutely refuted the testimony that has
been given by previous witnesses and all
with one accord declared that the claim
ant is not the James Rosseau. formerly
of New York. whom the defense is seek
ing to prove he is.
Joseph Ruso. cousin of James Rosseau,
although he believes in the simplified
spelling of the name, positively swore
that the claimant is not James Rosseau,
his cousin. although there is slight
resemblance. The first time he saw the
claimant. he said, was on the Saturday
night when the claimant and Attorney
Simpson visited him at his home.
An interesting surprise was created
when Adolph Lane of Almy. Wis, E,
testified that he knew Daniel Russell
and identified the claimant in court as
the man who worked for the witness s
father in the spring, summer and
autumn of 1894. This was the period,
as testified by the Rousseau element
when James D. Rousseau was claimed
to be at his home in St. Lawrence
county, N. Y.
Next came witness who knew James
D. Rousseau and witnessed an affray in
1895. in which he declared Rousseau was
slashed with curved basket knife in
the hands of an Indian squaw and wai
disfieured by losing a part Of his eai
and bit of his cheek. He swore the
man in court was not Rousseau. This
is the first mention of any facial scar,
except in questions by Mr.. Simpson,
which were answered in the negative.
Lastly came two brothers-i1-law of the
claimant, who swore they never knew
him by any other name than Daniel OF
Dan Russell and testified that each had
received letters from him. had carefully
preserved them, but that they were lost
last summer in manner which SUGGESTS
their being stolen by q stranger. This
letter testimony calls to mind the fact
that when Mrs. Mary Rousseau, sister
in-law of Jim Rousseau, was on the
stand October 3, and identified batch
of letters purportine to come from Jim,

NED Partridge Dies
new ENGLAND PIONEER

Word was received i'll Dickinson early
in the week of the death of E. B.
Partridge at Musselshell. Mont, on
November 20.
Mrs. Roy Hubbard. eldest daughter,
was called from Glen Ullin last week to
the bedside of her father. and it was
announced then that he was dangerously
ill with pneumonia.
E. 3. Partridge. wife and daughter,
Alice. moved from Woodstock, Yer
mont, to New England in the early
spring of 1887. being one of the very
first families to settle on the Cannon
Ball river in Hettineer county. The
town was being plated then by the New
England Colony association. and fol
some weeks Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge con-
Quoted restaurant in tent. AS soon
as suitable building could be erected
by David A. Waldron. one of the colony
directors. Mr.. Partridge and j. B. Dix
opened the first general store in the
county. Subsequently Elwin johnson
took the interest of Mr.. Dix and in the
fall of 1888. A. P. Folsom took the store
business and MI. Partridge gave his time
to his homestead just south of the river.
He raised sheep 10 some extent.
Finally Mrs. Partridge died, leaving -four
motherless children. The remains were
inferred at the farm home.
Subsequently Mr.. Partridge married g
lady from Louisiana and from this union
one or two children were born.
The family homestead south of New
England was sold to C. C. Mead in the
f-nineties and Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge and
the younger children moved TO Louisiana.
A few years later they returned and
finally settled down at Glen Ullin. A
little over a year ago Mr.. Partridge Sc.

Monaco is Missing.

A killing affair in the Dago steel gang
crews at Richartdon deprived some of
our citizens of their Thanksgiving din
ner, States Attorney M. L. Mcbride be-
ing the one who complained most Bit
terly. ,...
Pasquale Patizzio is the name of the
Italian who received the fatal knife stab
Wednesday night. He lived until
1o'clock Thursday.
Sheriff J. A. Wiech. Attorney Mcbride.
Coroner "A. D. Davis and Capt. A. j.
Osborn went down ON the first train
Thursday which came through Dickinson
about noon.
As near as the authorities could learn.
the Dagos had whisky shipped out from
St. Paul and Wednesday night they were
drinking heavy.
A brother of the dead man says that
he became sick in the car and he and
another fellow assisted him in getting
out into the fresh air. As they stepped
down from the box car some one stabbed
the sick man three times, twice in the
abdomen and once under the shoulder
blade. and disappeared in the darkness.
The coronor's jury. A. j. Osborn.
Adam Foster and A. Dienst. after ex-
amining seven witnesses, returned a
verdict that Patizzio came to his death
from being stabbed by Matteo Monaco.
The man charged with the crime was
missing and could not be found. The
gang foremen checked UP their men and
found that they were short one besides
the dead man. so the supp0sition is that
Monaco, the man unaccounted for, COM
mitted the crime.
States Attorney Mcbride learns that
Monaco was mixed up a few years ago
in q killing affair among Italian crews
in Montana.
So far as could be- learned Patizzio
had no quarrel with Monaco.
The chances are that nothing more will
come of the case. No arrests are made
and there is no chance of making any
as it looks now.

PIGGERS
RAIDED
Walter Schneider of Gladstone in
Trouble-His Malt Front Pune
tured-Medora and Beach
Men Also Pulled.

The blind pig clean up at Gladstone
came Tuesday night when the authorities
swooped down on Walter Schneider 8
place.
Constable John Lerfald of Belfield
served the injunction. and, as in the
past. he made clean job of it. Four
or five barrels of liquids labeled malt
beer" were found and samples obtained.
The front part Of the building had
been used as barber shop. pool room
and scant supply of merchandise, the
two rooms in the rear being occupied by
Mr.. Schneider and wife. Detectives had
previously taken bottled beer from the bar
room which tested full strength and there
is no doubt that the samples taken this
week will prove to be something besides
malt, although that would not be nec-
essary for the conviction of the party
arrested.
An officer called Mr.. Schneider's at
tention to the fact that he had no govern
ment license posted, whereupon he pro-
duced the document. saying that he had
been advised that it was just as well
not to post such things. The fact of de-
fendant's having this license, according
to the law. is evidence sufficient to con-
vict. If the place only carried soft
drinks. as claimed. why the license?
Mr.. Schneider insisted that he had
been advised by the very highest legal
authority that he could sell malt, provid-
ing it did not contain more than per
cent of alcohol and he produced the
letter giving this opinion, but the officer
went right along and placed locks on the
room. The liquids were left in the
room and Mr.. Schneider was given per-
mission to keep fire in the place to
keep things from fir eezing. No injunc-
tion was placed on his two living rooms,
and if he obeys the law his troubles will
not increase over what he has already
made for himself.
At Beach fellow by the name OF
Prehn was gathered in the past week,
and where the enforcement league will
strike next remains to he seen.
Frank C. Heffron of this city, special
prosecutor for the attorney General, is
we'll pleased with the evidence in the
Gladstone case. also the Medora and
Beach cases. He will have long string
of criminal prosecutions for violations OF
the prohibition law at the December
term of the Stark county court.
Some of the people who have been
arrested commence to realize the
seriousness of their case and others will
before they get very far into the prose-
cutiOn.
