and lofty tumbling that | ever saw. Some of
the people who had objected to our Presenta-
tion of that sterling drama, The Count of
Monte Cristo," rose in the air and turned
somersaults coming down with thuds that
sounded like butcher throwing a quarter of
beef on a chopping block. Others shot out
them just doubled up and rolled hoop fashion
In a little while the alley was choked up with
groaning, grunting, swearing, and spluttering
men, and then l went on to the hotel where the
Doc and the rest of our company were waiting.
The wizard left the watch he had damaged,
telling the landlord to try to find it's owner and
return it, with one dollar and fifty cents, which
large hack which the Doc had hired from the
hotel keeper, who also ran the leading livery
stable. The mob was beginning to get its sec
ond wind when we started away.
A S we went around a corner two wheels,
with lot of indignant citizens chasing
us, somebody rushed out from behind tree
and tried to get on the rear step of our rig. 1t
was Richards, the property man. The Doc,
with a smile of glad satisfaction, reached over
and did something,- lust what, none of the rest
of US was able to see,-and Richards, with
howl that made my ears ring, let 60.
Il have an idea," said the wizard, that he
will be able to induce our friends not to follow
us any farther"
He was right The yelling soon ceased, and
we went on with glad hearts and high hopes,

could carry it conveniently, and then started
on. The yelling, which had become faint for
a few minutes, was getting louder again, and
we knew that the mob was coming back toward
We reached an alley before long, and the
Doc, after listening for moment. proceeded
to stretch the line across the narrow driveway,
fastening it about foot above the ground to
a pole at each side and doubling it so that it
was good and strong.

hotel after the trouble is all over here. / will

TT had begun to rain a little, and was very
dark. The whooping of the mob indicated
that Angel Willie and the heavy man had got
their bearings, and were headed for our boarding
place The Doc went out toward the street
which we judged they were on and waited. 1t
wasn't long before Willie and the heavy man
passed. Then the Doc rushed out into the
middle of the street and gave yell. There

could see him, and the howl that went up beat

A prairie fire. starting in Otto
Chamberlain camp. a few miles north
east of the city last Friday, did a
great deal of damage. Mr.. Chamber
lain and his men were balins hay a
short distance from the camp and saw
the fire when it started, but owing to
the high wind that was blowing at the
time, were unable to reach the camp
in time to save anything or to prevent
the fire spreading. Mr.. Chamberlain
lost his tent and entire camp outfit,
amounting to about 500. Two large
stacks Of hay belonging to F. P. Stults,
were burned, this being practically all
his winter supply.

his buildings by hard work. The fire

''Just now the newspapers OF the

against the advertising fakirs. who,
without one cent of capital invested,
drift into town over night and make
a killing" at the expense of the mer-
chants. /"
First it is this fake, then it is the
next. All kinds of advertising pro-
grams are brought under the ban. The
fakirs blow in, clean up all the money
they can. and then blow out without
any particular ceremony"

On Tuesday. M. j. Donoghue of Bel
field was calling on some of his old
Dickinson friends. He is an old timer
in this country, having been in the
employ of the Northern Pacific Ry. Co..
continuously for nearly 29 years, having
been at Belfield for. eight years. and
now holding the position of section
foreman east from that place. and hav-
ing from six to eight men in his crew.
Few men have a more honorable
record with a railroad company than
Mike Donoshue. Early in April Of 1851
he came out from Mandan on an N. P.
train bearing q load of portable snow
fences for Little Missouri, near Medora.
where companies Of soldiers were in
camp. On the 18th Of the same month
he started in for the company, since
which time he has only taken q months
vacation and that last spring when he
visited the Yellowstone National park.
He started railroading even before the
construction company had formally
turned over the road to the Northern
Pacific Ry. Mr. Dausherty was his first
superintendent and then came Supt. D.
r. Taylor. now a leading druggist in
Mandan. Pat Murn, j. c. F. Parker
and H. DAILY are past roadmasters
on the division that MI. Donoehue has
very high regard for. There is not q
foot of track bed between Mandan and
Sentinel Butte that this veteran section
man does not know.
1t was five years ago next February
that NJ ]. Donoehue was SO terribly
scalded at Belfield when the plug blew
out Of the company's stationary boiler
there, but he is now enjoying very
good health and takes the same faithful
interest in liis work as in former years.
