An old clipping of the New York
World, date unknown, recently
brought to light, tells the following
interesting story Of pioneer days in
Dakota:
Back in the sos, when the north
Fern portion of the Territory of Da-
kota was hardly more than a bleak
waste of uncultivated ground, the
town of. Pembina was founded by
Enos Stutsman. Stutsman was q man
as remarkable for his eccentricities
as he was for his physical deformity.
He emigrated to North Dakota from
the huckleberry districts of Connects
cut and located in the upper Red
River Valley, where he filed and
proved up on 500 acres of land. 1t
was the ground on which Pembina
now stands. He had the head and
body of q giant, but his legs were
hardly more than foot long, and he
was unable to travel without the aid
of two short and powerful crutches.
He was ashrewd, calculating fell
low and soon became a recognized
leader among the handful of emmi-
grants who had taken up their places
in his neighborhood. AS political
diplomat he never had an equal in
the territory. For four consecutive
sessions he was chairman Of the
council in the upper branch Of the
territory legislature, and he was one
of the most famous draw-poker play
ers in the territory. He numbered
among his close friends a pioneer
named Jud LaMoure, who owned
line Of stage coaches running be-
tween Grand Forks and Pembina.
1t was those two men who played
the best game of poker that was ever
played in the territory. The game
was played in the old Levee hotel in
Yankton, in 1862, and it lasted from
10 o'clock on Friday evening to 3
O'Clock on Sunday morning. During
it's progress the people of the town
assembled in the hotel and watched
the two men as they fought like
bulldogs over the pile of red, white
and blue checks.
The legislature was in session at
the time, and as Stutsman, who was
chairman of the council, refused to
leave the game, that branch of the
legislature adjourned until the fol-
lowing Monday and the members
watched the game to the finish.
Early in the game Stutsman's luck
was wonderfully good, and he played
with a recklessness that surprised
everyone. Later on the tide turned
against him, and the chips began to
flow in the direction of LaMoure,
who with his SLOUGH hat pulled over
his eyes, was watching every move
of his opponent. Slowly and surely
the chips went over to LaMoure's
side of the table, and work what
trick or artifice he would he could
not turn them back.
Matters went on this way until
past midnight of Saturday, when
Stutsman threw two $50, bills on the
pile of chips in the center of the
table and called 800 bet made by
LaMoure. Stutsman held king full
on queens and he felt sure the pot
was his, but when LaMoure threw
down his cards there were four
deuces, and Stutsman, gritting his
teeth, exclaimed: "Jud, I tell you
what I'll do. You've won $4,000 of
my money. If you'll put $4,000 with
it I'll stake the townsite of Pembina
against you, and will play for it in
a lump to win or loose in one DEAL"
The men shook hands.
According to the agreement the

WRECK MORE SIGNS
Auto Crusaders Devote Day to
Hoffman Boulevard.

Members of the Automobile Club of Amer
lea continued their warfare on roadside
signs yesterday, making Long Island the
chief point OF attack. Signs along the Hon-
man Boulevard We're knocked down and
many We're smeared over with paint. As
vet the club has met with no opposition.
In fact the people along the roadside seem
to approve of the crusade and cheer the
workers as they attack the signs.
Altogether eight miles Of roadway were
cleaned I'D Yesterday In some cases the
signs were placed on high trees or posts
and members OF the attacking party put
on climbing spurs TO reach them. All the
signs torn down were loaded on automobile
trucks and carried to a blacksmith shop
near the boulevard. Enough wood was

Charles +. Fosdick. secretary Of the CLUB,
said last night that word was being re-
ceived from clubs all over the state that
the work OF tearing down the signs was
heinc taken I'd. In Westchester County and
the entire western part Of the state the
work is being carried on with enthusiasm.
The work will probably continue as lone

SUES FOR ASSAULT AND
FOR THE LOSS OF HIS JOB

Frank Lambert, formerly a foreman in
the employ OF Gould & Son, general con-
tractors, brought suit for $4,000 damages
for false arrest. imprisonment and assault
against John Martig, saloon keeper at 1904
Howard street, in district court Friday.
Lambert alleges that he presented a check
given him by one NJ. Stein to the saloon
keeper for cashing. Lambert endorsed the
check, which was for s2165, and received
the money for II from Martig. The bank
dishonored the. check and Martg called
upon Lambert to make II good. Lambert
alleges that he was upon the point OF doing
this when Martig assaulted him and called
the police. Lambert was locked up, but
discharged the next day. He alleges that
by reason OF the arrest he lost a position
worth s. day.
