Blackburn. who feurished In the west
many years ago. Blackburn ran away
from home when he was a mere boy
and sought his fortune In the west.
where he grew to manhood as an In

man he was possessed Of great acu-
men. to which was united q keen wit
When gold was discovered in Califor

proceed thither. The miners. as a
sort OF Joke. elected him alca'de. an
Office that combined the duties Of
mayor and Justice Of the peace. The

My train arrives at Budapest at
1920 o'clock. At 7:40 O'Clock ! am at

opera house. where Tristan und
Isolde" is the Offering Accounts of
that opera house have depicted it as
one OF the wonders of the world. but
1t isn't. The building Is substantial
and of good proportions. but over
ornate. A rough guess that it seats
not more than fifteen hundred. The
audience was In all sorts OF attire.
AS critic recently said OF perform
ance of grand opera in Chicago.
there was a costume for every hour
Of the day" The performance was
fairly good. Budapest. often referred
to as one OF the most advanced cities
OF Europe, gives more than one re-
minder of Chicago. 1t Is advanced in
the sense that under artificial slim
illus it has grown very rapidly In the
last generation. and. therefore, has a
greater proportion of buildings of
modern type, but to say, as many do.
that it Is more cultured than the older
cities of Europe is nonsense.
AT the hotel in order that l might
have private bathroom it was nee
essary to assign me to an apartment
of the royal suite. AS in ST Peters

top to bottom OF each window. and on
the sill between tie sashes was

WANTED FOR PASSING
WORTHLESS CHECKS

MANDAN, N. D., Sept. 18.-Ed
Johnston, we'll known in this city,
was sentenced to one year in the
state penitentiary by Judge Nuchols.
Johnston is professional horse train
er and a we'll known dealer in horses
in this county. He formerly resided
in Mandan, but has made his home
in New Salem for the past several
months. For some time he has been
lavishly purchasing various articles
from stores in this city and New
Salem and rendering checks on the
First National bank of New Salem
in payment.
When the checks started coming
in from the merchants to be hOnOred,
the holders were informed that Ed
Johnston had no funds in the bank.
Complaint was made of his obtaining
property under false pretences and
he was apprehended by the proper
authorities. He was brought before
District Judge Nuchols, where he
pleaded guilty to the charges pre-.
ferred against him. In accordance
with the new law which gives a
Judge power to sentence a man if he
pleaded guilty, Judge Nuchols sen.
fenced Johnston to one years i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary.
He was taken over by the sheriff and
Is now serving his term.
