Sounds Good

Hettinger Headlight: The latest re-
port relative to north and south road
connecting Hettinger with the country
north of us is to the effect that Dickin-
son capitalists will forestall all other
railway propositions with an electric
line connecting Hettinger and Dickin-
son. Although we can not vouch for
the truth of this report the plan would
seem feasible. Dickinson has as many
capitalists to the square inch as any
city in the state. They are also an
entesprisins lot and know the possibil-
tiles Of the Slope country. Hettinger
also has number Of entesprising busi-
ness men who could and would invest
several thousand in such proposition
as the proposed line. The inexhaus-
tible supply Of coal along the line Of
the proposed route would be an import
ant factor in bringing operating expen-
ses down to a minimum and the unsur-
passed fertility Of the contiguous terri
tory would assure the road as much
business as any line of equal length in
the northwest.

FEARED ENEMY
Aged and Crippled Farmer Has
Gladstone Young Man Arrested
for Prosecuting Him. Trouble
Over Ownership of Hay.

Prosecuting an old man, made de-
fenceless through a crippled condition.
and. threatening to kill him for remon-
strating over the ownership of crops
were some of the charges brought out
in hearing here before Justice A. p.
Folsom January II, in the case of Anton
Seller vs. Nick Guelf, both of Gladstone,
in which the latter. a young man, was
charged with assault. ..
The case is rather complicated one.
Some time ago Guelff came from Beach
to the home of Seller, 8 or 10 miles north
of Gladstone and obtained employment
on the latter's farm. Seller is crippled
and aged and needed some one to carry
on his land.
After working for his employer for
several months, Guelff left and went
to Gladstone. He claims that about so
tons of lay on Seller farm belongs to
him. in accordance with terms made
between the two. Seller was unwill-
ing to Give up the hay. Although
handicapped by his physical condition,
he tried. to demonstrate with Guelff, and
was not going to let him draw it away.
The latter then, it is claimed, threat
ened to kill the old man if he interfered
and otherwise tried to browbeat him.
Seller began to be afraid of his life
and came to Dickinson and swore out a
warrant for Guelff's arrest. The latter
was represented by Heffron & Baird.
On the word of his attorney. that he
would not molest the old man any more
and would keep away from him. Guelff
was allowed to 60 free. He also agreed
to commence civil action against the
old mar. for the hay and not take it
away by force.

Leg. Suffering Agony.

AT about II o'clock Tuesday night.
after riding 100 miles over anything but
good roads, = :. Nels Madison Of Schafer
arrived at the Stein hospital in this city
to have his broken LEG set and placed in
plaster cast The accident happened
Monday when Nj. Madison was thrown
from . load Of hay.
Right after tbe accident happened his
brother. Anders, drove to Oakdale ex-
pectina to be able to get a doctor by
te1ephonins from that point but this
could, not be done SO the only thing to
do. was to drive back=to the ranch and
get his brother and take him on the
long cross country drive to Dickinson.
The roads were in the very worst con-
dition. there being neither sleiehing
nor wheeling, and it was with great
difficulty that they were able to pull
through and, as it was, three teams were
completely tired out.
In places the snow was several feet
deep and the trails were the next thing
to being impossible. then..for strip of
three or four miles:the horses were forced
to drag the sleigh over the bare ground.
The trip was enough to tire well person
and to make the journey with broken
leg is something that cannot be i'm
agined. however. Mr. Madison stood the
tedious trip remarkably well and seems
to be getting on nicely at the hospital.
In the early spring this unfortunate
man. had an accident and broke this
same leg and was just about fully. re-
covered from the old trouble when this
second accident happened.
Andefs Madison and James Hall, who
brought Mr.. Madison in from Schafer
will remain in the city until the latter
is feeling comfortable. They. are will
ing to wait a few days until the travel
ling is better.

CITY WILL
HELP OUT
New Water Works Now in Rum
ming Order. Northern Pacific
Will Use All the Surplus Water
to Relieve Its "Famine."

On Wednesday the new pumps at the
water station were started and the water
which the city is now using is obtained
by means Of the new apparatus.
The Northern Pacific is having trouble
with its water supply, and it has been
necessary to use every possible source of
supply. With the new pumps now in
operation, the city has more water than
it needs and so an arrangement has
been made whereby the railroad will
be able to use from IS. 600 to 100. 600
gallons of the city water each day. This.
with the water which we'll near the
water tank in the depot yards and the
old reservoir west of the city furnish
will prove sufficient. it is hoped, to meet
all demands until spring.
The city has been getting its water by
means of small, temporary steam
pump and the big reservoir we'll. The
work of getting the big steam pump and
air compressor ready for use, has been
rushed on account of the situation with
the railroad. At times fully 30 men
have been employed in the work, the
railroad furnishing most of this number.
The work was completed so that the
machinery was started up Wednesday
afternoon. The air compressor is now
drawing water from the six small wells
into the large well at the rate of $4,000
gallons an hour.
The electrical apparatus is all on the
ground and can be in running order
with only "a hours work. There is no
hurry in getting this machinery ready.
however, as the steam plant will furnish
more water than will probably be used.
When everything is all done, the steam
pumps will be used for emergencies and
the electrical machinery will do the
regular pumping. @.. d..
A telephone has been placed in the
pump house and Charles Brislin will
be on duty there throughout the day.
There is so much machinery that the
services of an engineer daytimes will
be necessity.
An example of the possibilities of the
city system is shown when, according
to Supt. Littlehales, the small steam
pump which has been used as sort of
make-shift until the larger machinery
was installed. furnished water enough
last week to supply the demands of all
the city consumers, two fires. one a big
one. requiring much water, flushing the,
city sewer system and in addition fur:
nishing the N. P. with 145. 900 gallons
of water during the week. This ought
to silence all the critics for the time
being at least.

MA|RRIAGE |I!|' Il / ! ! ! /: s
UNLAWFUL


/ There will be CONSERVATION in many

is known that countless marriages which
have been performed in the state during
the past few years are, without doubt.

made, by couples matrimonially i'm
clined. of slipping away from their
homes to neighborine county, procur-
ing a marriage license there, getting the
ceremony performed and returning home.
in serene unconsciousness of the fact
that their marriage would not hold in the
eyes of the law. a ]. !
However, such is believed to be the
case and steps have already been taken
to remedy this shocking state of affairs
by amending the state law on marriages,
as defined by section 1896. 50 that any
marriage license procured in the state
will be good anywhere in the state and
legalizing all questionable unions made
under the present law. This alone will
save the state from a situation the con-
sequences of which would be too dreadful
to contemplate.
The statutes now require that one of
the parties to be married reside in the
county where the license is issued and
the ceremony performed in the same
county. Those who procured licenses
in their home counties and were married
somewhere else, need not do as much
worrying for the law is stretchable on
this point and possible loop hole is
offered. s7 Y: 4. i. n 4: .y.' .6r !,
While the law has been broken times
without number all over the state, it is
here in western North Dakota that a
majority Of the questionable marriages
occur. With Dickinson as centrally
located as it is, the city has become the
Gretna Green of the Slope. Couples
come here from southern Dunn. eastern
Billings, northern Hettinser and Bowman
and northwestern Morton counties to
get their licenses and have the knot tied
and it is in these cases where there is
a flaw in the rope. In the other coun-
ties the judges, who live in the county
seats, are not easily accessible and it
is less trouble to come to Dickinson.
thereby providing the wedding trip
also.
County Judge van der Las estimates
that large percentage Of the marriage
licenses which are issued from his Office
are Of this nature and he has placed
the situation before Senator Simpson
who will seek to have the law changed

w WANT AR'MoR i
Gymnasium Enthusiasts Petition
Directors to Make Fair Offer.
Large Number Interested in
This Most Worthy Project.

1t looks as though the right ones had
taken hold of the latest movement for
a gymnasium in Dickinson and that the
young men of the city would soon have
q place for both amusement and recre-
alton. The Developments Of the week
marx an important step toward a reali-
zation Of the object in view. En-
h a petition is being circulated asking
the directors Of the aImosy to make the
representative Of the petitioners, Guy H.
Dickinson, fair proposition for the
use Of the armory for the gymnasium.
This petition has been largely signed
and contains over 100 names of young
men. physicians, stockholders Of the
armory, business men. ETC.. all Of whom
are much in favor Of having gymna-
sium in the city. It is understood that
the directors Of the armory want more
for the hall than the prospective mem
bers Of the new organization feel they
can pay. IL, t5. u B.
The plan of the hackers of the move
ment is to secure seventy-five or 9 hun
dred men and boys who will give S.
apiece for the benefits Of gymnasium.
With the money thus obtained q very
complete equipment can be purchased.
The gym would be the equal Of any, in
the state. excepting, perhaps. some Of

such as Indian clubs, dumb bells, hori-
