Success.

Success is the hand trained TO do Its
work,
The eye that sees that the lines run
true,
The ear that hears when the truth you
shirk.
The brain that conceives old truths
anew.
Success is the strife with the heart aglow.
The effort we make for our fellow man.
The pride that laughs at the outer show.
The soul that fulhlls its highest plan.

Alleged Cattle Rustler Taken Up
After Years cf Work,

Williston, N. d., July TO-
Kid Trailer, alias Jack Winni-
fred, is an inmate of the Will
liams county Jail where he is
being held on a charge of cat
tie rustling. Trailer is one of the
oldest offenders in the horse
stealing game and his capture
was brought about only after
the hardest kind of work on the
part of the officials.
When word came from the
Joe Knapp ranch, in the north-
ern part of the county, that
Trailer was in that vicinity,
Sheriff Olson and his deputies
Immediately proceeded to the
place via the auto route. Trail
er had left several horses in a
pasture on the Knapp ranch
and the sheriff and deputies
stationed themselves at the
gate of the pasture. Hardly
had they gained their places
when Trailer rode up. Olson
Immediately got bead on the
man, ordered him to raise his
hands, and the deputies closed
in. Trailer made no fight when
he saw the game was up.
1t is claimed that the prison.
er has been engaged in cattle
rustling between North Dako-
ia, Montana and Canada for a
number of years.
Pat Canonn is another Will
liams county man who is in
Jail for horse stealing. He has
been suspected of handling
stolen horses for sometime and
the officials finally secured
enough evidence to warrant
his arrest.

We remained on this farm
until August, 1862. This was
tho time of the Indian massa-
ere melted by Little Crow. The
whites at St. Cloud sent out
men to warn everyone to leave
everything and to flee to save
their lives. Without going in
to details of this awful time, I
will say that we promptly fled
to St. Cloud as best we could
In the fall of 1862, most of the
settlers returned to their homes
but along Lake Henry, only
five families had made their
homes and We didn't deem it
safe to return so early. During
the ensuing winter, father sold
his farm there. We continued
living in St. Cloud where l
worked in a hotel for a while,
and later in a clothing store. In
June 1866, Mr.. McCauley EN-.

$500 per month and board, and
free transportation on the stage
to my job. l promptly accepted
his offer.
From St. Cloud to Abercyom-
bic IS 100 miles the distance
which we covered in three
days. Our stage coach was a
heavy fourwheeled four horse
vehicle, carrying United States
mail, light express and from
six to seven passengers at ten
cents a mile. Relays Of horses
were placed at a t i o n 8
about every fifteen miles.
Here passengers could get
something to eat. Meals con-
sisted of bread, good old butter,
pork and beans. sometimes po-
tatoes, tea or coffee, and brown
sugar. Dessert was dried ap-
pie sauce. The uniform price
of fifty cents was maintained
everywhere. Beds consisted of
a few pieces of 2x4's, few
boards nailed to the m, some
wooden Stats in the bottom of
the frame instead of springs,
thereon a straw tick stuffed
with hay and pillows made III
the same manner, a pair of
gray blankets, and a buffalo
robe. Such bed always had
to accommodate two persons, and
sometimes three and was given
only to the best looking of the
guests. Whenever the ranch
was crowded, others had to lie
on the floors at the uniform
charge of fifty cents per person.
On the road to Fort Aber-
crombie we met hundreds of
carts. They were clumsy look

of half oak wood. They we're

wheels were larger and higher.
Each was drawn by one donk-

PROFIT IS LARGE
Earnings Of Farmers Elevator
Amounts to 100 Per Cent in
Three Years.

jamestown, n. D, July 10
Manager George B. Crum of
the Farmers Elevator company
of LaMoure is now spending
several days in this city. He
reports that the farmers eleva.
tor has made a fine showing
and it is believed will be able
to cut a 60 per cent dividend
melon at the annual meeting
soon to pc held.
Mr.. Crum is one of the old
residents of the state, an exper-
fenced grammar and has given
the service of the company his
ripe experience. This company
is but three years OIL and yet
it has m ade record of which
any company may we'll feel
very proud. Here is what Man
ager Crum says has been the
records in dividends so far:
The first year the company
delared a dividend of so per
cent; the second year 80 per
cent; and this year it will be
about 60 per cent.
Mr.. Crum says the average
profit of an elevator which does
not hedge and protects it's pur-
chases and sale by means of
futures should be about 20 per
cent-provided there has been
an average business and no
more than the average compe-
ton without price cutting.
