Ing under his overalls which he had
secured in some manner. Warden
Hellstrom when asked about the case
last night stated that it would prob
ably mean that the man would now
have seven years to serve In the pen
instead Of only few weeks. The
penalty for Jail breaking is the same
as the original sentence and now
there will be the charge of burglary
in the first degree. for which there is
a penalty of five years. The rumor
that Peterson was facing charge. of
postoflce robbing is not thought to
have much foundation as the warden
had received no word to hold him
for the government authorities.
Peterson was sent up from Cass
county for breaking into store at
Casselton and since he has been in
the pen has made confession of a
number of postofflce robberies, both
in this and other states. In making
the confessions, however, he stated
that he wished to restore what plum
der he had, but when he was cross
questioned it was found that he had
none of the alleged stolen property
where. he could put it in the hands Of
the government officials. 1t is the
general opinion among the officials
at the pen that the man is little of
mentally.

the field, when they realized the facts
as to the Presbyterian organization.
The church was organized in tent
Paul for gambling purposes. It had
not been used as yet for any purpose.
All of the saloons and gambling hous'
es in town closed out of respect for
the church, opening up later in the
day as usual. But during two hours
or more Bismarck was as quiet as
a country Sunday school. After the
church was over the two ministers
went to Fort Abraham Lincoln and
conducted services there. During the
service there the Indians made a
raid on the cattle herd grazing just
south of the fort Custer gave chase
and lively skirmish ensued in which
one Indian, at least, was killed, and
some of their ponies captured. The
herd was also retaken.
A few days later as the surveyors
were starting on the line of the sur
vey west of the river, the Indians at
tackled the surveyors. The troops
from the fort gave chase and seven
Indians were left dead on the field.
It was the Indian idea that the whites
were welcome to possess and occupy
the land east of the Missouri because
it gave them opportunities to trade
at their villages They had been
charged excessive prices by the trad
ers and robbed, as they thought, in
fixing the value of their peltries. The
stores at the villages had treated
them Xfairly and they wanted them,
their land. No whites were allowed
to go west of the river without an
escort. Dennis Hannafin and few
others were out and occupied a coal
mine a few miles west. Fort Han
nafin, may never be known in hi"tory,
but it was mighty important posi-
ton for few days until the troops
from Lincoln made it possible for the
invaders to let go. 1t was a year lat
er when Mr.. Henry, who tried to run
vegetable farm west of the river
was killed by Indians. John Wright,
was killed later four miles north of
Bismarck, and there was many a day
when the whole town had reason to
fear attack and were armed to repel
it.
John Mclean was mayor in those
days-later days than those first men,
toned, and he felt that he was or
ought to be a major general on ac-
count of the great responsibilities
resting upon him. He came here as
he told us, on one memorial Fourth
of July wen the houses were all
tents,' and was mighty active force
in the upbuilding of the town. and
every old timer ought to hold warm
corner in their hearts for him.

ESCAPED PRISONER !
HAS Been CAPTURED
DISCOVERED NEAR N. p. DEPOT
WHERE He WAS WAITING

eurley's Watch Was Found on Him
Fell Into Vacant Decentralization
erts and Logan. In at the Death.

There was whole gobs of excite.
ment on the streets tuesday evening
about $3.50 when it was noised about
that Oscar Peterson. who had escap.
ed from the penitentiary brick yard
Monday morning was in hiding in
the very business center of the city
1t seems that close watch has been
kept of the Northern Pacific depot
since the man escaped and one OF
the guards saw his man hiding near
the electric light station and called
to him and getting no response fired
several shots from his revolver. The
fugitive made dash for the crossing
and went across Main street on Sd
street and turned In at the alley be-
tween Main and Broadway on Third.
He either jumped or. fell into the
basement of the new. Masonic build
ing and as it was dark there he could
not be seen and while Chief of Police
Mcdonald, o. w. Roberts and Alex
Logan were patrolling the basement
the guards from the pen went to the
armory to secure lanterns. Upon the
return of the guards with the liant
ems the first one to locate the man
was Alex Logan, who was stationed
at the southeast corner and when
he said, ''Here is your man." Peter
sons dream of freedom was over.
Guards helped him up from the base
ment and without word~to say he
was lead away to a livery barn where
he was placed in hack and taken
to the penitentiary where he will
finish his present term and then
some.
When searched it was found that
he had in his possession Max Bur-
ley's; watch which had been stolen
at about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning
and also that he, was wearing suit
of underclothes taken from Burley's
rooms at the same time. Some of
the stolen clothing, III wever, was
missing. The story of the stealing
of the clothing is as follows: About
2 o'clock Tuesday morning someone
(n0w known to have been Peterson)
entered the William Coates residence
on Ninth street and going to the
room occupied by Max Burley made
away with an entire outfit of cloth
ing The theft went to the barn and
there put some Of the letters and pa
pers that were in a sack coat into an
overcoat and leaving the overcoat
in the barn took his departure. When
Peterson was caught 1t was suggest
ed that he be searched for the watch
and then he took 1t ont Of his pock-
ct and gave it to one of the guards.
He had on some of the stolen cloth

LINCOLN 5 OFFICE CHAIR.

a stain, whose soul was that Of q
prophet and whose mercy. patience
and gentleness recall the divine mar
Of Galilee strike me as a marvel like
that of Shakespeare OF Joan of Arc, a
thing that cannot be explained and
that t~ral.sccnds mere human expert
ence. Nor is this the end of the Won
der. AS striking as the man himself is
the universal appeal he makes to men.
The avidity with which everybody
reads each scrap about the martyr
president is almost as much Of a mira
Gle as his character. The interest In
him was great during his life and has
increased every hour since his death.
At first it was because he was presi-
dent, but now it is because he was
Lincoln.
1t is this insight Into his essential
and spiritual nature which is the be-
ginning Of the true understanding Of
Abraham Lincoln. 1t has taken q long
time to reach 1t, vet it has always re-
quired q century or two for the world
to come to an appreciation Of its great
est souls. That this measuring of the
spirit Of Lincoln has ever started in
time for the centenary Of his birth
shows that mankind move faster than
ever before. When the world does see
the real soul of this man, with all its
whiteness and love, | believe hat Lin
coin will do more for men by his eY-
ample and by the Intangible influence
he eXerts on the souls of others than
he did even as president. He was not
a teacher, and yet his life is q teacher.
Nobility ought to be contagious, and
Lincoln had enough of it to inoculate
the whole race.
Materialism explained any
man. The smallest human being that
even lived infinitely transcribed it.
Then how little can it explain Lin
coin. We must get at such a man
from the Godward side Of him before
we can understand him at all. Seen
from that angle he becomes intelligi-

Must Not Throw Paper on Streets

Scraps Of paper and newspapers
thrown aside ON sidewalks and roads
Boon make a town look untidy and
anything but attractive. Any move
ment to prevent such a state of af-
fairs is worthy Of consideration. In
indianapolis, Ind, the women who
throw bits of paper into the street
from their carriages, men who tear up
letters or bills and toss them where
they will mar the looks Of the city
and those who throw bills and circu-
lars from the housetops will not be
permitted to do so in the future.
Mayor Bookwalter has decreed 1t: so
has the board Of public works, and
the board Of public safety has passed
it along to the police department for
enforcement. washington is one Of

clean largely by seeing that citizens
do not litter up the streets. Indianap-
