DICKINSON A CLEAN CITY
after TENTH OF MAY

Tuesday, May 10. is the day set by
the city council before which all dirt in
the city must be cleaned up. There are
but few days left and no doubt they
will be busy ones as no one wants to
be found lacking in performing the
duty of cleaning up his premises.
Although Dickinson is not an especi-
ally dirty city, still there is filth and
refuse in back yards and alleys and
around stables that is almost a disgrace
to residents of live city. besides
being a menace to sanitary conditions.
It is not best to wait until some in
fectious disease or epidemic has spread
itself over the city, before we material
ize our good intentions to clean up.
Filth fosters germs and is the home of
contagious diseases of all kinds and
more especially with the warm days OF
spring. We should not feel as if this
cleanup ordinance is law we are
forced to obey but duty to ourselves
and our neighbors with which we are
glad to comply.
If we want clean city, one that will
attract the best kind of people to settle
with us. infuse spirit of civic beauty
in the children and above all protect
aud preserve the health of the citizens.
We should not feel satisfied until not
particle of unnecessary dirt can even
be microscopel in Dickinson.

c. F. DUG OUT SOUTH
and WENT TO ST. PAUL

AS intimated in the PRESS last week,
c. F. Merry slipped out of Dickinson on
April "a soon after the sheriff called to
arrest him for defrauding the McHenry
county people. He drove south via
Edton and Alden to the Milwaukee and
went on to St. Paul, it is supposed.
1t seems as though this old promoter
had mania for hot air railroad lines.
He talked to those on his. overland
route south and told them he was going
to build them north and south railroad.
1t is not learned that he grated any
one on this forced trip of his.
On Saturday of last week Sheriff
WEIGH had telegram from Secretary
of State Blaisdell asking him to tele-
graph authority to Ramsey and Henne-
pin counties, Minn., for Merry's arrest.
The secretary said that he had al
ready telergaphed the Twin City author
tiles full description of Merry.

TO START PROSECUTIONS
RECOVER ON BAD WARRANTS

Andrew Miller, attorney general fol
North Dakota, was in Dickinson this
week and very carefully went over the
matter Of proceeding against the ex.
county auditor and his bondsmen to re.
cover some $40, 900 worth of fraudulent
warrants issued during his terms of Office.
Prosecution will be started at once
and Mr.. Miller says that there is nc
reason in the world why the face of all
the bad warrants. together with inter.
est on those already redeemed. should
not be recovered for the county.
Mr.. Miller had a long consultation
with States Attorney M. L. Mcbride
and it is expected that there will be
something doing very soon.
j. S. Whites sureties while in office
were bond companies.

Fire. broke out in the Geo. Heaton
Lumber Co. Office in this city about 10
O'Clock on Monday evening. There was
no one in the Office at the time aud the
fire got under considerable headway
before beina discovered. The Dickinson
Fire Department, however, made short
work of the flames after arriving on the
scene.
The fire is thought 10 have started in
the ceiling over the hall leading up
stairs. 1t may have been, from the con-
cea]ed electric wires. Any way, the
fire crept along between the joist, break
ing out here and there and made its way
into the attic. The water probably did
more actual damage than the fire. The
rooms up stairs were occupied by Ralph
Heaton and his furniture and personal
effects were seriously damaged. A
piano appears to be totally r,ined.
This property, as well as the building,
was fully insured. The loss may reach
something like So, 600.
The Heaton Lumber Co. are loud in
their praise of the successful way in
which the department handled the fire.
demonstrating again the oft tested
efficiency of the Dickinson volunteer
members.

also slightly injured.
A freight train with engine No. 1903
which was making ready to pull out
of the yards for the west. backed into
switch engine No. 539 and four cars

standstill and probably in the darkness
the distance was miscalculated. The
unfortunate switchman was standing
on the rear foot board of the engine
when the collision occurred and was
crushed between engine and car and
held fast by driving timbers or draw
boards. When extricated from this
position he was dead.
Engineer Hueaboom was thrown
precipitately from the cab window and
sustained a broken nose and other
facial injuries. The fireman was un-
hurt. Switch Foreman Edwin Fox
was fortunately on the ground when
the accident happened. The switch
engine was damaged somewhat.
C. H. Weisenstein has been in the
employ of the N. P. at this place about
seven months. He was single snd
about "a years old. His body at the
time of going to press was at L. A.

dale, ILL.,, and brother at Portland,

REPUBLICAN RALLY
PR0eREssIvEs SPEAK

The first political rally of the cam
paign was held Thursday evening at the
opera house, James A. Buchanan, candi-
date for governor, and H. L. Helgesen,
candidate for congress, spoke. Hon.
I. F. Marshall, candidate for U. S.
senator, accompanied the speakers
These gentlemen represent the pro-
gressive wing of the republican party.
They are the class of republicans
which the stalwart wing (often referred
to as the ''stand patters' of the party
calls insurgents. They are not satisfied
with Aldrichism and Cannonism and
herein differ from the people who vote
for the old regime and thereby indicate
that they are satisfied with present
conditions.
James A. Buchanan is a farmer re-
siding at his old -emption homestead
twelve miles north of jamestown where
he has lived with his family for the
past thirty years. Mr.. Buchanan does
not make any pretense of being an
orator. He is plain farmer with lots
of good common sense and is one OF
those men who comes right out and
states where he stands on every prOpo-
sition.
He has been successful on the farm and
has always taken an active interest in
politics and has always shown that he
was opposed to sangism.
Mr.. Buchanan stands we'll with the
people and the stalwart forces up to
the present time have been unable to
find man to take the field against
him.
H. T. Helegsen has been a resident
of North Dakota for twenty-five years
and was the first commissioner of aeri-
culture and labor. He is a good speak
er and gave one of the clearest and
most logical explanations of the present
workings of the tariff system that has
ever been presented in Dickinson. He
showed how figures were made to show
q reduction in tariff, on important com.
modities when as a matter of fact the
practical workings of the new bill i'm
pose large increase.

MI. Marshall is opposed 10 Aldrich and
Cannon methods. He was defeated fol

candidates. but thinking people are

IT
IS JAILED
Carl Albrecht in Jail for Stealing
Horses. Sold Them at Baker.
Purchasers Out Their Money as
Thief Had Blown it in"

Carl Albrecht is in the Stark county
Jail on two charges of horse stealing,
bonds in each case being fixed
at 81, QUO.
He is young fellow who had been
hanging around town all winter. with
out any visable means of support. and
the fact that all at once he seemed to
have plenty of money caused suspicion.
1t was known that horses had been
stolen within the county and the proba-
bilities were that some person familiar
with local conditions, committed the
theft.
; Joseph Schmitz of the Heart river
country and Misses Currie and Alcott
had lost horse each recently and
Sheriff WEIGH getting word of horses
that had been offered for sale at Baker,
Mont, went over to investigate. He
had talked the matter over with Chief
Of Police Corbett and it was agreed that
Carl Albrecht was sure enough suspect.
At the first opportunity he was nabbed
by the Dickinson chief and thrown into
Jail. On his person was found q ship
ping receipt for saddle from Baker to
Richardton.
At Baker it was learned that Albrecht
rode the Schmitz horse to the livery
stable of H. W. Sparks and gave him
and E. c. Ecmethry bill of sale of
the animal for $50. They in turn sold
the horse to Reebe Clark near Beach at q
small advance in price.
Sheriff WEIGH found that the Currie-
Alcott mare had been sold to Tom
Sparks and Rusty" Hoimen for, $3.50
and resold to Andrew Wenz for $17O,
the parties all living in the vicinity of
Baker.
The horse and mare have been restored
to the riahtful owners and the men who
bought the stolen property from Carl
Albrecht have refunded the money
they received when they resold, and
all that they have in sight now for the
money paid the thief is the knowledge
of how the law works in cases of stolen
property and the further satisfaction
of knowing that Albfecht IS in fair
way to get penitentiary term.
The second trip that Albrecht made
over to Baker he left the saddle at Matt
Bohn's. 18 miles south of the new Mon
tana town, or he so states The sheriff
will find out very soon.
At the examination held before Just
ice A. P. Folsom. Ablrecht waived
examination. H. C. Berry appeared
as his attorney.
There is some talk that others may
be implicated with Albrecht. It is
certain that he rode the horses south
and gave the bill sale and received the
money and that will be enough to
!. convict him.
Albrecht is a distinctly marked
fellow. having holes through his ears.
His parents live south of Richardton
in the Springvale county.

The redistrictine board. composed of
Auditor j. L. Hughes. Probate Judge
J. van der Las and Clerk of Court j. G.
Saunders. met last Saturday afternoon
as provided by law and redistricted the
commissioner districts of Stark county.
There was protest from Gladstone
against. the changing of the present
boundaries. The petition was signed
by Al citizens and Messrs. Lee and
Prindle appeared in person. John
Dolwig came up ON delayed train but
was not in time for the meeting. which
was held at 2 80. The people from Bel
field and the west end of the county sent
in petition signed by 40 citizens.
hence it left the board with nothing else
but to redistrict.
The first district now includes ranges
81, 90 and SO and runs east to include
South Heart the second district has
ranges "a. 95 and 96. including Dick
inson and divides on the range line
about half way between Gladstone and
Taylor; district number three includes
ranges 81. SO and SO.
This gives districts of about equal
size and for all concerned seems to be
the best division that could be made.
There are few who think tina t they
would like five commissioner districts.

Gladstone, Dickinson and Belfield, but
it is no. probable that majority would
see it in this light.
In redistricting Dickinson becomes a

district. the commissioner board. as

at a meeting this week, appointed Gus
Anderson, whose petition was the only
one presented. It was largely signed.
indicating that his choice was generally
satisfactory.
Gus Anderson is an old-timer, having
lived in Stark county something like %
years, and he has always been counted
as one of the substantial business men
of this part of the state. Mr.. Anderson
lives out few miles from Belfeld and
was formerly extensively engaged in
stock growing.
