In the year 1896 Bros. w. p. Dick
son and N. w. Macaulay, assisted by
some others, made application to the
Grand Lodge for a dispensation to
revive the Lodge and restore the
charter, which was granted, and the
Lodge was recognized. Bros. w. P.
Dickson and N. w. Macaulay deserve
special mention for their heroic eff
forts, zeal, time and energy used in
putting the Lodge In good standing
again. The Grand Lodge RENTED all
past dues and revived the charter. At
the reorganization, a called communi-
cation was held under dispensation,
Tor the purpose Of electing, appoint
ing and installing officers for the Ma
sonic year of 1896. The officers act
ing pro ten for this called meeting
were Bros. A.. Zimmerman, w. NJ;

The Lodge was opened in due form
IN the Third Degree and proceeded to
the election Of officers, resulting as
follows: Bros. N. w. Macaulay, w.

J. D.; S. p. Tannery, Tiler.
The newly elected officers were
then duly installed by District Dep
uty Grand Master r. e. Harrison,
from Abbeville, S. c.
A committee was appointed to pro-
cure a suitable hall for a meeting
place for the Lodge, which they did
from ]. S. Carter. and the brethren
moved the Lodge furniture and met
there for several years.
Just here l will state for informa-
ton that Bros. o. H. and e. A. Birch

after the Lodge reorganized l was
offered, as a token Of respect and ap-
probation for long past services to

Lodge was not then in financial con-
dition to assume this responsibility.
Again in 1900 the same honor was
offered me and declined for the same
reason. In 1909 the Lodge made me

At this time there are five Masonic
Lodges in Oconee county, namely,
Walhalla No. 90, Fair Play No. 1872,
Seneca No. 1873, Westminster No.

many Of its valuable records stored in
it's archives; but o 1t Is in a pros

its Lodge roll. Bro. White also fur

MED0RA SCHOOL LAND SALE
$50 PER ACRE HIGH Mark

The first state school land sale for
Billings county was held at the county
court house in Medora on Thursday. 1t
was the first public sale of state lands
in Western North Dakota and therefore
there was much speculation as to the
prices that the lands would bring. Some
had predicted that there would be no
demand for these school. lands, located
in the very heart of the Golden Valley
district others said that they would 60
like hot cakes. AS a matter of fact, of
the 40 quarter sections offered by the
state. all but about a half dozen were
taken. The quarters located at Beach
were appraised at $50 and $50 per acre
and were taken at this figure. Quite a
number of quarters were appraised at
$40, SIS. $50 and $35 per acre and in
instances these 160-acre tracts
were taken at several dollars above the
appraisement. Some of the $12 land
went at $40 and SIS. and there was but
one or two sales at $40 per acre. On
most of the $40 appraisements there
were no bids.

when some of the absent senators
returned this week the question was
revived and may come up again for a

did Jerry Leave CITY?
MISSING SINCE MONDAY

Since some time Monday no one
appears to know the whereabouts of
Jerry Ihli. the boy who delivered mes
sages for the Western Union Office. He
was probably about IS years of age, the
son of John Ihli, Of South Dickinson,
and was formerly bell boy at the St.
Charles hotel.
Everybody knew Jerry" and as a
rule they thought well of him. 1t de-
veloped, however, that he had been max
ing collections for r. B. Pelton, the
.drayman. and that he was not account
ing for the money 50 collected. Mr..
Pelton became uneasy about the matter
and thought he would take the accounts
away from the boy and went around to
the city Western Union Office to see the
young man, but whenever Jerry saw Mr..
Pelton coming he went below or out
the back way. and they never met.
Manager Norton did not like the way
Jerry acted and had already told him
that he could not keep him as message
boy.
1t is understood that Jerry did not get
any great amount. probably less than
500. and the probilities are that he has
not gone far. and possibly he is yet in
hiding in the city.

CAsS COUNTY TREASURER
MAY HAVE Been INSANE

Was H. A. McConville of Fargo, the
county treasurer of Cass county. insane
when he stole 81. 500 of the county funds?
-Four weeks ago he was an honored
citizen and the custodian of the county
funds nov he is an inmate of a cell in
the state p~enitentiary. His method was
to take cash from the drawer and put in
a slip for the amount. He kept a
private memorandum showing the
amounts that he had taken. Despite
the fact that he knew exposure was i'm
minent, he made no effort to cover up
his crime or escape.
He took 81. 500. but could have fled
with 500. 600. 1t is a matter of
establishment to his acquaintance that
he stole. but, having stolen, they can't
imagine why he stolidly remained II his
post instead of taking a larger sum and
fleeing.
Attorneys believe that if he had put
up a plea of insanity instead of plead
ing guilty he would have escaped in
stead of going to prison for five years
with a fine of SIS. 900 hanging over him.
1t more recently developed that as
treasurer of the Sunday school funds he
was also short in his accounts. He was
a home loving man. thoroughly devoted
to his children.

Prof. W. B. Snyder, superintendent of

the state university, located at Hebron,
addressed the senate on Thursday.
Professor Snyder occupied the attention
of the upper house for more than half
an hour. He spoke of the work that is
being done at the Hebron institution in
the way of making %briquettes. asking
for an annual appropriation for the pur-
pose of making further experiments in
the manufacture of brlquettes.
The talk was interesting as well as
instructive and much information was
gained on the subject OF North Dakota
soil and its various qualities and prop
critics. The Hebron superintendent d.
lated on the phase of briquette manu-
facture, asserting that the cost to pro-
duce the experimental fuel was 81. Is
per ton. He showed its derivation from
Ignite coal and its by-products to be
tar, gas and ammonia. Professor Snyder

MATT SMITH FORGING
IT Is.HIs Old TRICK

Matt Smith, who was recently dis
charged from the state %penitentiary after
serving a year for forgery. is in the city
jail at Bismarck and will have-to face
another trial for the same offense. It
developed that he passed a check on the
Lenhart Drug Company for SIS. The
check was made payable to himself and
was supposed to have been signed by P.
j. Jacobson of the penitentiary Office
force. Jacobson declares it a forgery.
Matt Smith was sent to the pen from
Dickinson. His game was to forge
checks in small sums and take chances
on the parties doing anything about the
offense. He served considerable time
in the Stark county Jail on account of
his crookedness and after many repeated
forgery offenses was sent to Bismarck.
He was formerly a U. S. land office
clerk. Later he was with the Quinlivan
Lyle Land Co. He was a good
stenographer and at one time made
application for the position of court
stenographer with Judge Winchester
After a short trial he concluded that
there was too much work connected with
this position.
1t is said that Smiths parents are
respectable and well-to-do people and at
n time the father offered to help him
out of financial difficulty providing the
wayward son would reform.

CAUSE OF SUICIDE
BROTHER CAME FROM ILL,

John Br0derick was the name of the
man who hanged himself at Belfeld last
week with his s%uspenders and the bed
post in a room which he was occupying
in the Imperial hotel.
The man was a transient and on
registering at the hotel told Landlord
Eslick that he had been doped on the
train and had his money and valuables
taken from him, but that he expected
money from the east in a few days. He
was seen on Tuesday evening going to
his room and was found on Thursday.
where he had strangled himself. 1t is
said around the hotel that he was des-
pondent over the fact that he couldn't
find a liquor store in Belfield and was
unable 10 procure any wet goods there.
The man had a wife and baby in
Sterling, ILL.,, whom he expected to join
him here later. A brother, Joseph
Broderick, of Sterling arrived on Sunday
and took the remains Of the deceased to
Dickinson where they were inferred in
the Dickinson cemetery on Monday after
noon.
Deceased was about As years of age,
travelled a good deal and had no occu-
patton in particular. The cause of his
rash deed is attributed solely to drink.
