CONTROVERSY over
COUNTY HIGHWAY
COUNTY COMMISSIONER HEAR
COMPLAINTS OF THE
FARMERS.
Long Travelled Highway Was Closed
BY Land Owner Thus Forcing Them
to Drive Around.

The county commissioners were
treated to a lively discussion for .
few moments at the court house Fri
day afternoon. The trouble aros.
over the fencing in of one of the Iona
travelled roads of the county.
1t seems that the highway whict
has always been used to go out tC
the cemetery from the northeast corn
err Of the city crosses the farm land
owned by H. C. Rhud. According to
testimony which was presented to the
commissioners it has been Travelled
for the past forty years. Mr.
Rhud decided that it cut off a great
deal Of his property and was a detri
ment thereto Also that the farmers
should follow the township line when
built a fence which crosses the road
about a half mile northeast of the
O'Brien farm near the city, and which
blOckaded traffic.
The road in question is the old trail
from Bismarck to Fort Totem, and
its usage dates back to pioneer times.
The people have been using the
highway for years and felt that their
rights have been encroached upon,
and cut down the fecne and continued
to drive across. 1t is stated that there
is one party, woman, whose ap'
prOach to the road is completely shut
off when the fence is up.
Mr. Rhud feels that he has a right
to keep people off from his land, and
the farmers think that they have a
right to use the old road So the
county commissioners were appealed
to.
There is law in the state which
says that all public roads and high.
ways which have been open and in
use for the past twenty years or more
shall. be confirmed and established as
such whether or not they have been
lawfully laid out, established and
opened.
Mr. Rhud never received and money
for the use of the land which is used
as highway. and he feels that
his rights are being infringed upon.
The probable course which will be
taken will be the prosecution of a
law suit to determine once and for
all whether or not the road is a lega,
highway.

DANDY" HONOREO
With GENERAL CUSTER
EAVORITE HORSE OF MASSACR
ED HERO is NOT FOR
GOTTEN.
Was Only Survivor Of the Battle Of
the Little Big Horn and Bore News
Of Slaughter to Command.

A few weeks ago a monument to
General Custer was dedicated at Mon.
roe Michigan. Mrs. Custer did the
unwilling and President Taft made a
speech. There we're other orators
present and Will Carlton read poem
he had written for the occasion.
After the Civil war General Custer
became a distinguished Indian fighter
in which service he laid down his life,
with his whole command, when, on
June 25, 1876, he met the Sioux near
the Little Big Horn.
The only survivor of his command
was his horse, I'andy-every man
was killed.
The statue shows General Custer
mounted on his favorite and famous
horse, Dandy, in lis characteristic at
titude just befor' the battle, when
he would ride to the head of his CON-
mand, suddenly rein in the plunging
horse. who is represented as standing
with curved neck and rigid forefeet,
while his master, with his hat in his
hand, is surveying his command and
about to gve the orders, Come on,
boys"
This horse could only be ridden by
his master. He would not go slowly
and would allow no horse to pass him.
Yet, when the general was aiming,
he would stand as rigid as statue.
Coming back to another command
after the slaughter, Danday gave the
first intimation of what had happened.
After things had Gained down some
what the horse was sent to the gen.
erals home at Monroe, where Mrs.
Custer asked an officer to ride him
for exercise. He tore through the
little town at an alarming rate of
speed and was considered unsafe for
anyone else to ride.
The aged father Of General Custer
took a great fancy to the horse and
the affection seemed to be mutual.
The old man, therefore, insisted upon
mounting him, and, strange as it may
seem, as soon as he did so Dandy
gave up his impetuous ways and the
aged father rode him everywhere.
--e died in 1890 and the old man
soon followed

BISMARCK POLICE
make BIG HAUL
THREE FULL CASES OF BEER
CAPTURED FRIDAY
AFTERNOON
Eight Cases Of Empties Also Seized
Terrible Fate of Policeman When
Told to Obey Orders.

Patrolman Martineson seized three
cases of beer from Mrs. Logsdon, a
resident of the bottoms, Friday after
noon. He also captured one case OF
empties from her, and as he had
seized seven cases of empties from
her earlier in the week. this made a
total of eight cases of empties and
three cases of full bottles taken from
her since the Fourth of July.
Friday afternoon Chris received a
call to hunt up COW belonging to
John Robidou and accordingly wend-
ed his way across the tracks to the
river bottoms to look for the animal
AS he passed the building occupied
/ by Mrs. Logsdon, he became sus.
picious of appearances there and de-
termined to institute a search. He
found one case of beer hided in the
house and two cases more about the
premises. He also found one case
of empties. He promptly seized the
whole number of them.
Sunday, Chief Mcdonald and Pa
trolman Martineson We're in the bot
toms looking for evidence They
searched the house of clyde Town
send, but could find nothing there.
From their house the police went over
to Mrs. Logsdon's. They searched the
premises, but without avail. Mrs.
Logdsdon herself was sitting down
on the ground and would not get up
to assist the police in their inquiry.
Her continued refusal to move led
the patrolman and chief to suspect
that something was wrong. The
chief. instructed Martineson to pick
her up and carry her away from
there.
A crowd of the neighbors were
watching the affair from distance
and were cheering Chris on. When
the policeman approached her, how
ever, he was met with a TRADE of
abuse, and finally gave it up as a bad
Job. 1t was learned afterwards that
the woman had been apprised of the
raid and it is thought that she had
hidden what few bottles she had left
under her clothing. thus accounting
for her refusal to move away when
told to do so. Whether Chris sus
pected something of this sort and
his innate modesty forbade him to
force her to dig up the bottles. will
remain a mystery. Suffice it to say
that they were probably numbered
among the empties captured Friday

Didn't Know What He Was Writing
About

(StAtesville Iandmark.)
The Ashev.lle papers were much
displeased because the Charlotte OBJ
server, the Sunday before the election,
felt called to deliver itself of g poll
teal forecast as to the Congressional
elections in this State, and IN doing
so placed the Asheville district in the
Republican column. We hardly think,
however, that the Asheville papers
have as much cause for gr evance as
some of the rest Of us, inasTnuch as
in the same forecast the Observer
placed the Eighth district, right at its
own DOR, in the Republican column,
in the face of the fact that the best
Informed newspapers and people in
the district considered DOughtOn'S
election almost a certainty: and in
the face OF the further fact that such
a statement in the Observer, on the
eve of the election, was calculated to
do harm to the Democratic cause in
the d'strict. The election returns show
that whoever wrote the article didn't
know what he was writing about and
that his guess that the district would
go Republican as based on the fact
that they had so voted two years

IAPAN'S ALIEN LAND LAW.

| The already prevalent impression
! that the Japanese are self-sufficient
| people. independent naughty, jealous
| of their position in the world, is
Strengthened by the popular conception
of proposed new land bill recently
passed by one of the houses of parlia-
ment and likely to become law.
The truth is that this law is a lib
eral measure, instead of being of a
contrary purpose. as many seem to
( think, but its discussion has focused
attention on the general character Of
the land laws of the mikado's country
with the result that altho these laws
are not of themselves new. either N
Japan or elsewhere. they present some
thing new to many people.
Heretofore the law of Japan has for
hidden any and all aliens holding land
in the empire The proposed bill as 1t
now stands denies the privilege only
TO certain aliens. The reproach has
often been directed against Japan that
she forbids foreigners to acquire or
hold real estate. But that is precisely
what various other nations do. and
what the United States government
has been doing for many years in all
the regions under its direct control
The law of March 3, 1887. prohibits
foreign corporations and alien individ-
uals from acquiring or holding land in
tories. and the amendatory act of ten
years later gives only the concession
that aliens who have declared their
intention 10 become citizens may ac-
quire lind in the territories. Some
exceptions to this law appear to have
been made by special treaties, as, for
example. that with France. which gives
French citizens equal rights with
Americans, and that with Great Brit
ain. which permits British citizens to
hold or to inherit lands which were in
was made In the individual states Of
the union the practice varies. Iowa
forbids nonresident aliens TO acquire
or hold land. and Illinois does the same.
Kansas and Idaho forbid any alien 10
acquire or hold real estate. New
York, under a law of 1897, grants the
privilege of acquiring, holding, or con-
veying land only to citizens of nations
which grant similar privileges to
Americans. This latter plan appears to
be that which Japan has decided to
adopt.
SO, any i'll impression in this con-
nection would appear to be founded on
nlisinformation, and to be quite unjust

The President Not q Politician.
IHarper's Weekly1

President Taft wanted to be chief
justice. not president. He declared,
several times before he consented to
run for president, that his ambition
was not political. He has also declared
that he is not a politician. The country
did not know then how extraordinarily
candid he is or it might have taken
him at his word. Evidence is accumu-
lating that he told the truth. The con-
trast which in this respect he offers to
his immediate predecessor, whom SO
good judge as Cleveland pronounced
the most consummate politician that
ever inhabited the White House-out-
CHASING Jefferson, Jackson and Van
Buren-is striking and edifying. A good
politician would have seen at the out
set of the new administration that there
was nothing to gain and everything to
lose with the public by letting it ap-
pear that there was any sort Of com
mitment to Aldrich and Cannon and
their wing of the republican party.
There was nothing. to gain by such a
course, because Cannon and Aldrich
and their following, the conservative or
staIwart element in the party did not
need to be plaeated. There was no
danger that they would get too indie
pendent or go over to the democrats.
They might sulk but they would never
! secede. There was everything to lose
by such commitment, because those
two men were already unpopular, par
tioular1y with the most independent
element in the party, the element. there
was most need of placating if it was
to be kept in line. That need had been
seen before Taft was nominated, and 1T
was planned to name thoroughly
representative progressive from the
west-probably Cummins = for vice
president Not that Taft was not and
is not himself in sympathy with pro-
gressive policies. He was and is.
Every important measure he has rec
commended to congress proves it. But
he lacked the political instinct.
