Haskell in Danger.

But there were star plays in the con-
course and not a little comedy was put
over by the wind. In the first place
Jack Haskell might have been killed.
He was not, however. and therefore the
comedy. The chief of the arbitrators
has been going good and there was no
excuse for his providential warning but,
be that as it may, a high foul which
started over the grandstand and was
given I'D for lost, blew back into the
field and barely missed the umpire's
nut.
Then Manager Moore pulled off a Sa-
lone trying to get under a popup by
Miller, finally lost it, and then fell onto
it in time to take down a runner at
second. Whitney also came in for his
exhibition and his act contained some
genuine skill. Wagner hit one a mile
high over the first base grandstand.
The players were wise by this time and
watched it while Wagner beat. the base
line. Just as he passed Whitney the
ball lit in the diamond by two feet,
bounded up into Wits mitt, and the
big fellow took a fast swing at the
runner, knocking off his cap.
You're out" bawled Haskell.
'Hit one while the wind is blowing"
is the way the coachers yelled and Of
ten enough the spectators didn't get to
see the stunt for the dust that cir
cled the stands and settled again to
await another return ticket.
Three Fast Doubles.
Three fast double plays helped the
kaws to win. Hopke got a fast one
near second and whipped to Whitney,
cutting down Andreas and Stem in the
third. Moore caught a liner and swung
to first, getting Breen and Reilly in the
fourth. And in the last. one of those
Hopke to Moore to Whitney kind closed
down on a 500 rally.
The last play of the game was a
sensational one by Whitney. Neighbors
hit a fast one wide of first which look
ed safe But Merit got his meat hand
in front of it. knocked it down and
carried it to the sack ahead of the per-
son who lives next door.

PENDANT in a damage case for the

brought by Plus Dinius Of Richardton,

the case has an offer from a reputable
attorney who AGREES to fight the case for
half the amount he secures It does not
look. upon the face of the matter, as
though the government would leave

EARLY DICKINSON PEOPLE
WILL TAKE LIFE EASY

The fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Sterland of Gladstone were early resi-
dents of Dickinson may be news to
many of our readers. They were en-
gaGed in the meat market business here
as early as 1884, and the following year
ran the Eagle Hotel. later called the
L. D. Kidder House and now the St.
Paul Hotel.
During the fall of 1885 Mr.. and Mrs.
Sterland took a homestead three miles
north of Gladstone. Later they acquired
three additional quarter sections in Stark
county. making All acreage of some over
800 acres. The homestead and two ad-
joining quarters were sold last fall to
julius Hollst of Gladstone at SIS per
acre, possession to be given the coming
spring. They retain a quarter section a
mile north of Gladstone, also stock. farm
machinery, and other property.
MIR. Sterland has had quite a wal
record and a good deal of pioneering.
He was born in England. coming to
America in 1868. He resided in and
about Chicago until 1872. About this
time Mr.. Sterland Joined the 7th cavalry.
his enlistment continuing for five years.
The last four years of this service was
given while stationed at Fl. Rice, 81
miles south of Mandan. General G. A.
Custer vas commanding officer. In
1873 MIR. Sterland was a member of the
Stanley expedition, on escort and scout
duty for engineering surveyors of the
Northern Pacific line. The expedition
worked west to the Musselshell country.
Two encounters with Indians were
experienced, n on the Yellowstone
river, opposite the present site of Miles
City and the second at the mouth of the
Big Horn river. One soldier killed and
three wounded, was the record of
casualties in the last engagement.
In 1874 MIR. Sterland went on the Black
Hills expedition. Fred Grant. aid for
Gen. Sherman, acted as aid FOR Gen.
Custer on this trip. Mr.. Sterland saw
what was said to have been the first
gold minded in the Hills.
The following year he was with Col.
Benteen on a scouting expedition through
the Grand river country. In 1876 Mr..
Sterland was a member of the Gen. Terry
expedition, in which Gen. Custer was
massacred by the Indians IN the 18th of
June at the terrible battle Of the Little
Big Horn. 49, 49,
Gen. Sturgis sci. out in 1877 to capture
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces Indian
tribe, who vas on the war path. Plans
to intercept the chief at the Rockies
failed. They found the old Indians
trail and followed him back to Boulder
creek in Montana. where there was a
skirmish, the chief and his warriors
getting away. Joseph was captured in
October of the same year by Gen. Miles
at Bear Paw mountains. This was the
close of MIR. Sterland's service with
Uncle Sam and iii 1879 he was married
to Miss Ella Blanchard of Blencoe, Iowa,
a native of the state of New York.
Next season Walter Sterland plans on
visiting England, during which time
Mrs. Steriand will likely visit relatives
in Minnesota. Just where their future
home will be is not definitely settled,
although it is probable that they will
move to Dickinson. Our citizens would
surely be glad to welcome this pioneer
family back again.
