RAMsLAND MUST HAVE
Been GOING SOME

T. O. RamsIand of the Milwaukee
road, was in the city this week and
states that during the present week his
road will enter New England and be
ready from that time on for business of
all kinds. The people of New England
are delighted over the idea of the road
and promises it all kinds of patronage.
Mr.. Ramsland wasn't talking when
he was here, but it is believed that in
side of another year the same line will
be working into Dickinson, which will
be a big boom for this city. -Dickinson
Post.
The Herald is willing to concede that
Ramsland is capable Of keeping up with
the cars, but when he gets sixty miles
ahead Of the track, as the above item
shows, we are of the opinion that he
must have had help.
). As matter Of fact it will be several
days before tie Milwaukee will have
the steel laid as far as Mott. The steel
crews arc busy and the road is surely
coming; but tobe ON the safe side don I
promise the children ride on the
''choo-choos''b efore the middle of next

Washington. D. c., Oct. 10.-By ex-
ecutive orders dated October 4, 1910. the
president has directed that certain lands
in North Dakota. which were. by act of
May 29, 1908. made part of the Lem
mon. S. D., land district, retransferred
to Bismarck and Dickinson, N. D. dis
tricts.
This is the first case in which lands
within a land district were located in
more than one state and the experience
of this case has proven that from an ad-
standpoint it is not a good
policy to pursue because of the dissatis-
faction among settlers and patrons of the
land Office living outside the state in
which the land Office is located
The lands retransferred to the Dickin-
son N. D., district follows: Townships
129 to 1872 north inclusive, ranges 81 to
1O7 west inclusive, in the state of North
Dakota, with the exception of those
parts of the Standing Rock Indian res
ervation as are located in township 129
and 100 north. range 81 west.
Those retI transferred to the Bismarck,
N. D., district follows: All those parts
of townships 129 and 130 north, ranges
The Dickinson press. (Dickinson, Stark County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1927, 1910-10-15

81 10 130 west inclusive. in the state of
North Dakota as are not embraced with
in the Standing Rock Indian reserva-
tion. and all of townships 131 and 1872
north, ranges 81 to go west inclusive,
in North Dakota.
This restores to the Dickinson u. S.
land district 66 square townships of
land, nearly million and half acres.
Senator P. j. McCumber and Congress
smen Hanna and Gronna have been
working for the restoration of these
lands for some time, and the people of
Western North Dakota appreciate their
efforts.
1t was through political trickery that
the South Dakota representatives in
Congress got these lands into the Lem
mon district in the first place.
The department at Washington soon
found that the experiment of mixing
the business of land offices in two
states was entirely unsatisfactory, and
when the matter was presented to Presi.
dent Taft by the North Dakota delegation
in Congress he at once saw the wisdom
of issuing the executive order.

LITTLE BABY VICTIM
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING

A sad case of accidental shooting
occurred at the home of Jake Brauch
near Midway last Friday morning,
George. the one year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. sBrauch. being the victim. the
accident happened in the morning and
the child died at about two o. clock in
the afternoon.
The child's uncle rushed in from the
yard to get the gun to shoot hawk. In
taking the gun from the hooks where it
was hanging the weapon was discharged
and the full load struck the little boy,
who.. happened to be playing on the floor,
in the leg. The child was so small that
the leg was literally torn from its body.
Everything possible was done to save
the baby's life but the wound and the
shock were too much for such small
child and the little fellow breathed his
last at about two o'clock in the after
noon.
The bereaved fam lily are crazed with
grief and for time it was feared that
Mrs. Brauch's brother, in whose hands
the gun was held at the fatal moment,
would lose his mind altogether.
The funeral took place at the Brauch
home Saturday afternoon. The heart
broken family have the sympathy of
many people in their sad bereavement.

WAS FRED VINCENT q
WHEN he FILED CLAIM !?

An important contest was heard Tues
day at the Dickinson U. S. land office.
The parties were from New England.
Miss Alma Ballweber VS.. the heirs
of Fred c. Vincent.
Fred Vincent died in December of
1906 and it is alleged now that he was
not of legal age when he filed on his
claim.
The heirs. Clint and Albert Vincent,
brothers, have kept up the improve
ments, and the prosecution was not able
to prove by the legal heirs the age of
deceased.
Undertaken A. D. Davis was called
and testified that his records showed
that the deceased was but IS year of age
when he died. However, the plaintiff
did not have the Lutheran baptismal
certificate to offer and asked for con-
tinuance of the case to enable them to
procure new evidence. This was denied
on the grounds that the plaintiffshad
had several months and ample time in
which to procure same.
Heffron 8. Baird and H. c. Berry
appeared for Miss Ballweber. H. A.
Bwgeson looked after the interest of the
Vincent estate.
1t is likely that an appeal will be
taken which ever way the local land
Office finds the evidence.

COL. N. A. HJlDRE1h
SPOKE At OPERA HOUSE

Col. M. A. Hid reth spoke at the
opera house on Wednesday evening.
The meeting was not generally advertis-
ed and the audience was not a very
large one, and the PRESS has Col.
Hildreth's statement for it that there
were more republicans than democrats
present. However, those present heard
good campaign speech from demo-
cratic standpoint.
Attorney T. F. Murtha introduced the
speaker. Seated on the rostrum were
Chairman R. c. Hill, F. L. Roquette,
E. A. Lillibridge and Attorney Simon
of New England.
Col. Hildreth of Fargo is a candidate
for congress and he is not unknown in
Dickinson, having been here severa l
times on legal business. His address
was confined largely to the tariff. He
said that the republican party had failed
in keeping its promises of revising the
tariff downward. and he quoted from
such republican leaders as LaFollette.
Oolliver, Cummins and others in support
of his contention.
He attecked the tariff record of Sena-
tor McCumber and Congressman Hanna.
From the tariff Mr.. .Hildreth went into
state politics and gave Gov. John Burke
q good boost, and in closing he was
m mindf,,1 of tho cnookor
Hon. w. E. Purcell, democratic u. S.
senator, will speak at the opera house
this Saturday evening.

papers, however, were not made until
the past week. when Mr.. Sticka made a
good sized cash payment and moved his
family to their new home a few miles
north Of Gladstone. Mr.. Sticka sold his
brick house in South Dickinson to John

FIRE BURNS
LILLIBRIDGE
Prairie Fire at Davis Butte Excit-
ing. Hewson Buildings and Flax
Crop Saved After Many Hours
Of Strenuous Fighting.

Monday afternoon prairie fire started
from the railroad track near the Parker
& Co. slaughter house which came near
doing some serious damage.
AS it was, E. A. Lillibridee had his
hands and face quite badly burned, and
the Fred Hewson farm buildings had
narrow escape. 1t also took some hard
work to save the Daily and Parker fax
crops.
The fire went north through the pas
ture of Roquette Bros. heading in
northwest of Davis buttes. spreading in
a northwesterly direction to the RAIDER
farm.
Several auto loads of people went out
from Dickinson as soon as the dense
smoke was noticed just over the hill.
E. A. Lillibridge and V. A. Hill
started to run up lane leading to the
Fred Hewson farm where they saw help
was needed. Mr.. Lillibridge was driv-
ing his car and just after they had
headed up the lane the wind changed,
causing the fire to shoot in ahead of
them and also cutting off their chance
of running back. The tall grass was on
fire along side the road, the flames leap
ing over into the car blistering the
paint on the same and singing the hair
of the men. 1t was critical moment.
Mr.. Lillibridge knew that to abandon
the car was to lose it and they would
also have 10 run through fire line IN
making their escape. so he protected his
face as much as possible with his cap
and drove his car with all possible speed
on through the lane. His hands were
badly blistered and his face burned
some but not so badly as to leave scars.
MIR. Hill was more fortunate.
Help reached the Hewson farm in
time to save the buildings. A few
straw stacks were burned.
Otto Chamberlain and others were out
with their plows and in this way helped
greatly in the saving of property.
The Schmidt machine had threshed
about 1000 bushels of flax at the DAILY
place and it took some hard work to
keep the fire from the windows in his
200-acre field. MIR. Parker also had 100
acres that he was carefully guarding.
A fire during the past week near the
Mike johnson place. on the other side
of the river, was extinguished before a
great amount of prairie had been burned
over.
These fires are insignificant, however,
when contrasted with the forest fires of
the past week in the northern part of
Minnesota and Canada, where hundred
or more lives have been lost and millions
of dollars worth of property destroyed.
Relief trains were sent out, and contribu-
tions from nearby cities are being sent
in for the sufferers.

4 Federal
INsPEcT0
Col. Fred Bracket Looks Over
Sites Offered in Dickinson. But
Three That Met Requirements.
To Make Second Choice

Col. Fred Bracket, a representative
of the treasury department at Washing
ton, spent Tuesday in Dickinson looking
over federal building sites recently
offered the government.
Mr.. Bracket came in from Montana,
having been down through Nebraska and
Wyomine looking. up sites at various
cities, having something over 100 on his
list.
In Dickinson Mr.. Brackett said that
there were but two or three sites that
could be considered In the first place
not less than 125 feet frontage would
answer the treasury department require
ments. One of the rules is that the
federal building must be 40 feet from
any other structure. For this reason it
was impossible for him to consider the
PRESS site; the Linsley site of 100 feet
frontage was too small the site opposite
the Congregational church would have
been considered favorably had the title
been such as to suit the government; the
Merchants National bank, DR.. v. H.
Stickney, Col. j. H. Field and j. X.
Porter sites were all too small. The
site north of the armory, offered by Geo.
M. Frye, was favorably considered. 1t
is the old Stickney corner. known as the
L. H. Dow corner now. and contains
125 feet. The fact that the armory sets
back seven feet from the north property
line, in reality gives 1872 feet clearance
here.
The C. S. Langdon site, on the corner
directly north of the Oukrop blacksmith
shop, contains $50 feet, including the
Fred Thompson and VIM. Crist proper
ties, and was favorably considered by
the inspector.
The T. N. Hartung corner south of the
court house contains $50 feet frontage
east and meet all the requirements as
to size and comes within the 80 rod
limit of the depot, although, all things
being equal, the government would pre-
fer sites nearer. However, the inspec-
tor did not commit himself as to his
choice of the three sites or the price at
which they were offered. In fact. it is
not presumed that the price makes any
material difference so long. as it is with
in the appropriation of SO, GOO. !.
Col. Bracket will make first and
second choice and it would not be q
difficult matter to guess which they will
be. He will not report to the treasury
department for few weeks SO it is
difficult to tell when the department
will make public its selection.
In selecting "a federal site at Dickin-
son the department takes into account
that the United States land Office is
located here and that within few
years a paid weather bureau station
will come to the city. Hence provision
will be made for the postofice. la I'D
Office and weather bureau.
