and as a result Jack Denzia is in Jail

Special Agent Batten OF the North

a few days ago. He and Chief of Po-

shack back OF the Bismarck Bank

ME Duggan, alias Johnnie Fisher live.
They did not find any traces of the
beer but Chief Mcdonald saw an over
coat hanging on the wall and asked
Denzie where he got it. Denzie said
that he found it in the alley. The
chief placed Denzie under arrest on
suspicion, and told Captain Martin

him. Martinson found Duggan on
Main street and arrested him. BY a
little judicious questioning Martinson

tered the court yard and were about
ten feet from the Jail door Duggan
broke away from Martinson and ran
around the corner OF the building.
Martinson dropped the overcoats ana
started after his prisoner but it was
so dark that he had hard work to de-

fired two shots after him but could

but it will probably go hard with him

DAKOTA TERRITORY
ANNIVERSARY WILL
Be OPENED BY TAFT

The president of the United States
has received an invitation to attend
the Celebration OF the First Jubilee
Anniversary of Dakota Territory, and
while greatly regretting his inability
to attend the event, expresses his cor.
dial endorsement of the occasion in a
splendid letter in which he points out
the National significance and import
ance Of the celebration in words that
should impress the hearts of all Dako-
tans exultingly for the parts they have
taken in building up the great EN-
pire of the Northwest.
The officers of the old Settlers AS
ISOLATION of Yankton, take pardon
able pride and great pleasure in pre-
senting a copy of the Presidents let
ter to their fellow citizens Of the half
century old territory, and hope that
it will prove an additional incentive
to bring us together at Yankton, the
first Capital of the Territory, and one
of it's earliest settlements. The let
ter of the president you will read with
interest. Here is copy of it,

My Dear Senator Gamble:
have the courteous and cordial in
vitation. supplemented by your own,
to attend the celebration at YanktOn
commemorative of the Fiftieth Ami
versary of the organization of the Ter
ritory of Dakota, and greatly regret
my Inability to accept.
The occasion marks most import
ant event in the history and progress
of the Northwest and we'll deserves
recognition by a celebration such as
is proposed. The development of the
Territory has been a factor not only
of great moment to the people and re.
gion Immediately affected, but Of the
highest cons equence to the Nation at
large. When organized the Terri
tory embraced one-tenth of the area
of the republic. Within practically
its original limits five great states
have been founded and admitted into
the Federal Union. The progress in
material, social and commercial de-
velCpment of the commonwealth in
question has been marvellous, and the
gratitude of the people of the respec.
tive States and of the Nation as a
whole is due the pioneers and citizens
who contributed so much in laying
the foundations.
The celebration which you have in
contemplation should be worthy of
the high aims and heroic courage of
the men and women who braved the
dangers and hardships of the from
tier, and who, through their self-sacri.
fice and devotion, aided so materially
in the upbuilding of the republic.
With good wishes for the complete
