X FRO INTER- DAYS IN BISMARCK X
" By allan G. Ridge "

home; that an insult to womankind
was punished in such drastic meas
ures that there was no need of a court
to administer justice, and that drunk
eness was no excuse: that all who
wore the garb of womankind was en-.
titled to protection and deep respect,
and that is was the administering of
the law by their own hands that made
it possible to populate your city and
make it what it is today?
Too much credit cannot be given to
the Tribune and to Colonel Louns-
bury and later, to Mr.. Jewell, who mi
grated with Stanley Hunter from Chi
cago, for their untiring efforts to
build up the territory and Bismarck
in particular; they had faith in the
outcome and, if they still live, have
no doubt have seen their ideals rea-
lized. Many years have passed since
my residence in that neighborhood,
but I still live in hopes that some day
l may sojourn among you and renew
old friendships, even though my name
may not be recalled by only a few
who now reside in your city.
Among those whose names l recall.
besides those already mentioned, and
who saw strenuous times, were: DR..
Bentley, DR.. Dunn, John A. Stoyell,
Malloy, Dennie Hanifin, Griffith
Erothers, Alex Mackenzie, (the god of
North Dakota), Billy Bell, he of the
bank Lewie Peterson, Veeder, Satter-
land, (who linked it" for the Devils
Lake region), Charley, the genial
stage driver; the big, good natured
first policeman the town knew; Bogue,
of the all-night lunch; Davidson, at
the depot, after the Northern Pacific
went through; "Baldy" Sharples
"Frenchy," Long Proctor, Cheap John,
who staked the boys when broke; Kit
Adams, Billy Maze, both of whom, il
my memory serves me were of the
Tribune family about the time of my
departure for pastures now (and to
escape the dreaded penny which I
have seen aplenty since; Halloran,
Nye. Draper, Of the telegraph office;
Little and Big CASING, Toothpick Nell
Calamity Jane, and others whose
names do not readily come to mind.
In giving the list I make no pretense
Of order, nor have endeavored to
name then relative to their coming in
as "tenderfeet," but simply as they
came to mind and to show that old
names and faces linger in memory.
Here, in Connecticut, I have run
across other boys who served in the
Did days and when We meet find pleas
IRE and enjoyment in talking over old
times and the good times had in Bis
marck and Mandan. and one and all |
agree that Bismarck was the only
Town then on the face of the earth
Ind wish her and it's citizens all the
that those old timers
looked forward to in the early SOS !
md dark '7O's.
Nothing would give me more pleas
Ire than to receive a sample copy of
he Tribune as therein I might pos
IDLY see some name in it's advertis~
ng columns or news notes that would
ecall some old, familiar name. re-
main, looking backward,
Respectfully yours,
Allan G. Ridge.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

These are unpleasant days for the
calamity howlers. Nobody is kind tn
them; all the world is against them,
says an eastern writer. Only yester'
day the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
whose dividends these gloomy ones
of evil omen were reducing a few
weeks ago, had the effrontery to make
a magnificent statement of earnings,
while the Atlantic Coast Line, too poor
three years ago to pay it's full divi-
dend in cash, increased it's rate. Yet
another unkind blow came from North
Dakota. 1t was more than unkind; 1t
was an exhibition of gross ingratitude.
All summer long these gloomy souls
worried and fretted because the poor
farmers of that state would have no
crops and no money to spend. Yet
those ungrateful farmers. having 80
much produce to send to market, and
who are buying so much with their
money, protested they are not getting
cars enough to handle their business.
We are sorry for the gloomy ones,
we are too tender hearted to rejoice
in the sufferings of anybody or any
thing. but We must congratulate the
country on the accumulated evidence
of improving business.

The Tribune Is in receipt Of the fol
lowing letter which Will prove inter
esting, not only to the old settlers o.
the capital city, but also to those men
women and children, who have come
in later years and done their share
| in Transforming Bismarck into the
metropolitan city which it now is:
Editor Tribune. Bismarck, N. D.
Dear S:r:-Memory, as time passes
seems to revert to old scenes and
faces, and today mine goes back tc
the '70is and early SOS when your city
was the wild and woody" and the REQ
man and buffalo roamed at will and
the Tribune was the weekly God-send
that came to us stationed at old Fort
Lincoln, on the Mandan side OF the
Big Muddy, as it ofttimes gave us ad
vance notice of "hikes" after our
friends (?), the wiley red, before or
ders were issued by the commander
or adjutant; obtaining such informa'
ton from source that caused con-
sternation among the officers and
brought forth words that would not
sound we'll in prayer meeting and oc-
.casioned knowing winks and mods
among the enlisted men, who well
knew that Stanley Huntley, then con-
nccted with the "Trib," was beloved
by officers and men and was thereby
able to obtain inside information.
"Stan," as the boys called him was
always a welcome visitor at the Fort,
his stories aiding in passing what
would have otherwise been many
dreary hour and they were repeated
long after his departure to the East.
Not only were his visits enjoyed by
the men but a certain officers daugh'
ter who, if memory does not fall me.
afterward became his wife, was wont
to rec'"~+ the orderly to inform hel
if Mr.. Huntly came over on the ferry.
Those were the days when citizen and
soldier had a common cause and each
mingled with the other in friendly
and fraternal way; when the "bit"
was the vernacular given to our pur.
chasing power and the penny had not
made it's advent to drive the old
timer to distraction and the territory
to the "bow-wows," as we then put
It; when open gambling was the rule
and night turned to day. when the
old Seventh saloon was in its prime
and the limit at Truax's as big as the
territory itself If you wished to make
1t so, and the "boys" Clipped in their
gold to maintain the parson and build
the churches.
What would some of the present cit
liens of Bismarck say If they were to
see a minister of the gospel enter
gambling place, place his hand "a
on the back of player and
calling him by name ask what luck?"
and know that II the one addressed
was in luck he would reach for stack
of red and blues" and with pleasant
smile and kind word pass it over to
the parson for the maintenance OF
himself and the church. Do they rea-
lie that the early churches of your
city were built and maintained in no
small measure by these gamblers, and
that in those days of ''lawlessness"
wife or daughter was as safe on the
street at midnight as in her own

rating BOOK HAS
AROUSED Interest
PEOPLE WHO ARE SLOW PAYING
THEIR BILLS ARE DOING
SOME THINKING,
Credit Will Be Refused to Those Who
Will Not Make Settlement Of Their
Just Accounts.

A few days ago the Tribune had
occasion to refer to the rating book
betting gotten out by the National
Rating league, wherein is to be given
the standing of every man that has
purchased goods of any Of the men,
bers on time and has overlooked the
fact, thereby allowing his name to
be posted in the undesirable class.
There has been little commotion
stirred up among those who are slow
in settling Their accounts. With some
it has caused an honest anxiety, with
others real CONSERVATION. With the
honest persons, even If unfortunate,
there Is no reason. for alarm as If
they need a doctor or medicines hur-
riedly and are owing for previous
services they can go and show will
lingness to pay as soon as possible
and very seldom, indeed, will they be
refused. So with an urgent grocery
bill. The person owing the bill can
act the part of the gentleman and go
and make arrangements for an ex-
tension. The same applies to his
newspaper or any other account. But
the man who gets credit for while
and then tries to elude settlement by
some course or other such as lodging
the bill or trying to get credit some
where else, he it is that is going to
have trouble. For just so sure as
he does not settle up he is subjecting
himself to be reported to the league
and then he is spotted" as man
that does not pay and at once credit
is refused. ..,
The honestly unfortunate will have
due consideration by explaining their
situation to those they owe and the
dead beat is going to get just what
he deserves.
Hundreds of preliminary notices
are being mailed by merchants and
other members of the league and the
persons receiving such notice will md
it to their advantage to come at
once, to the person mailing it and
get themselves set right before harsh
methods are resorted to and credit
refused them

A 2O-year.old Michigan boy who
was found guilty of larceny, was
placed on ten years probation in lieu
of q sentence, with the following re-
quirements made by the court: "You
must attend church every Sunday for
the next ten years. start a bank &C.
count, join the Y. M. c. A., quit drink
ing and smoking, and be in bed every
night at 9 o'clock" Probably never
before has any young man had out
lined for him in so succinct a man
ner the fundamental principles of ac-
curing success, prosperity and the re-
spect of his home community.

CONDUCTOR Heath
PERFORMED HIS DUTY
500 LINE OFFICIALS STATE NO
INVESTIGATION WILL BE
HELD.
Heath Did Right = Not Allowing
Edna EiIickson to Be Taken Fore
ib'y From His Trair Except by
Proper Officers.

In a conversation today with Super
intendent S. w. Derrick of the 500,
the Tribune learns that the wire story
sent out from Monango to Bismarck
worked something of an injustice to
Conductor Ed Heath, who was in
charge of the train, and also to the
500 officials in charge of this division.
When an attempted search was
made of the train by a number Of ex-
cited citizens, Conductor Heath sim
ply performed his duty in protecting
his train, and the girl, who was pas
senger with a 'cket for Bismarck.
However, further up the road when
a proper officer appeared seeking the
girl in question, there was no inter-
ference. -
There will be no investigation by
the 500 officials as to the conduct of
MIR. Heath, for as Mr.. Derrick says,
he only did his duty and exercised his
proper authority while he was in
charge Of the train

SUPREME COURT

In the Supreme Court. State O.
North Dakota, October Term, 1911.
Claus Hagert, Plaintiff and Respon
dent VS.. Emma Hagert, Defendant and
Appellant.
% A separate and equitable &C
ton at the suit of the husband against
the wife will lie to compel the wife tc
support and maintain the husband
when amply able to do so, and whe1
she has not been deserted or aSoan
| doned by the husband, when he be
cause of age and infirmity is unable
! to gain his own livelihood.
(2) Such an action may be main
tanned without joining Herewith an
action for divorce and the statutes
governing alimony in divorce cases dc
not bar an equitable action for main
tenance and support brought by one
spouse against the other.
go Such an action for mainte
tenance was cognizable in equity at
statehood, under the then prevalent
equitable usage; continued under Sec.
lUO VI Ou1 0LdlC SOA0C&CuIAOA az
formerly vested; and hereunder the
district courts of this state have jur-
isdiction of separate maintenance &C.
tions in the absence of statute di-
vesting them thereof.
az In actions of this nature the
practice follows, as far as practicable,
the practice in alimony proceedings
in applications for alimony pending
suit for divorce; and the trial court
has the power of granting, on good
cause shown, temporary maintenance,
counsel fees and expense money pend
ing hearing and before judgment in
the main action.
(5) Section 1907, imposing upon
the wife the duty of supporting the
husband under these circumstances,
does not declare merely an unenfor'
chile duty, but, coupled with Section
4O78 of the statutes. grants one spouse
an inchoate interest to the extent OF
necessary support III the property
real and personal, of the other.
(6) Such an interest is of itself
sufficient to vest court of equity
with jurisdiction to fully administer
relief to the INDECENT spouse as
against the other; and where neces-
sary to do so, to prevent the Offend
ing husband or wife from defeating
the order Of the court by alienation
of property, lien may be declared
on real property; and where prayed
for in the complaint injunctional re-
lief against alienation or incumbering
the property, real or personal, may
be granted and enforced by appro-
pirate order.
(Syllabus by the Court.)
Appeal from an order of the dist
riot court of Grand Forks county,
Templeton, j., allowing support and
counsel fees pending suit for mainte.
nance.
Defendant appeals, challenging the
Jurisdiction of the court to entertain
the action or make such order.

Justice at the time of hearing, who
