graph. express and electric railway
companies. The only change In the
telegraph companies from last year
is the assessment Of increased mile
age.
The Western Union has 2,571 miles
of lines in the state which is assessed
at s1O7 per mile or total OF $2sS,-
1877.
The Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault
ste. Marie Co. has 1,10S miles in the
state and Is assessed at $62.S6 per
mile or a total Of s6,SSS.
The Great Northern Express Co.
has 1,544.5S miles in the state upon
which It is assessed at the rate OF
S100 per mile, a total of $l16,454.
The Wells Fargo Express Co., has a
mileage OF 254.71 which Is assessed at
500 per mile, or total Of $22,s2S.
The American Express Co, has a
total mileage in the state of 1923

The only item now left to eoualize
is telephone companies. 1t has been
discovered that the real estate OF
some companies has been returned by
the assessors while some has escaped.
It win be the duty Of the board to as
sess that which has been omitted. The
failure Of so many companies to file
their reports with the state auditor
is going to complicate matters some
what, but solution will be reached.

800 NILE CHASE
ENDS in FAILURE
TRICKY HoRsETHIEF DoDGEs A
PURSUING POSSE IN WEST
ERIN SOUTH DA.
koTA.

Lennon, S. D., Aug. 22.-Sheriff
Craven and posse from Butte county
have returned to their homes after
a chase Of 800 miles after horsethief
who, Notwithstanding the persistency
OF the officers, succeeded in making his
escape
For four days and nights the sheriff
and members Of his posse were on the
trail of the fugitive The thief Is
wanted for the theft Of a horse and
buggy from a rancher named Hantz.
living in Butte county. In his flight
he visited several ranches, but left
from one to three days ahead of his
pursuers. At one ranch he was SO
bold as to negotiate for the purchase
OF the place, stating he would be back
IN a few days and close negotiations.
The officers found where he had camp
ed in canyon near the frontier town
of Ludlow, and from which point he
walked to town and purchased some
supplies.
All along the route travelled the fugi-
tive had been inquiring the road to
Haley, N. d., and after being informed
as to the direction would follow the
road a mile or two, or unti1 he was
out of sight Of those who had given
him the direction, and then would
double on his trail and cut across the
country and go in an opposite direc-
ton. The sheriff and his posse fol-
lowed him to point eighteen miles
south of Bowman, and there lost all
trace Of him. He may have headed
westward into Wyoming, or north
westward into Montana. Officers over
a wide extent of country have been
notified to keep a watch FOR him.

PRISONERS MADE
THEIR ESCAPE

Bottineau Courant: Late Sunday
night or early Monday morning dur
ing the storm, two prisoners in the
county jail, G. f. Mefford, serving four
months for assault with intent to COM
NIT rape; and Paul Gore, serving three
months for violation of the prohibit
ton law, but in default of payment
of fine and costs, liable to serve five
months additional, made their escape
In a manner that indicates help from
the outside. A paddock not accessible
to from the inside was wrenched apart
and the outer door, which has Yale
lock. was opened and relocked, which
would indicate that a duplicate key
had been made by someone who had
obtained a wax impression. 1t Is
thought Mefford has had considerable
criminal experience and that in all
likelihood has confederates who would
come to his assistance.
Sheriff Sandstrom and his deputies
haze secured the country in all direc-
tions but have found no trace Of the
men and the only thing which in any
way indicates the manner of the get
away was the discovery Of buggy
track coming from the direction of the
courthouse very early Monday morn
ing. On account of the heavy rain
this was very noticeable up to the
place where 1t converged with the
main road north of the city. Roads
leading to Canada have been covered
thoroughly and no trace of the run
Always found The police in towns on
both sides Of the line have been noti-
ed to be on the lookout for the
men. 1t is not improbable that the
men are in hiding in the mountains
where they could easily remain for
weeks without much chance Of dis
coyery.

Devils Lake. N. D., Aug. 22.r-With
the defense holding the center Of the
stage the Eeough- Regain contest case
broke into the third week yesterday,
but from present indications the ia
nous land battle Is on the last lap.
Shr-rebuttal was started under the
questioning of Atty. p. ]. McClory.
The history of the quarter section
Of land in question, located near Web
ster, NJ. D., dates back to 1889, when
1t was originally filed on by Margaret
Keough. Since that date the title has
been the subject of contention.
Before Margaret Keough offered
final proof to the land, she died, ana
Thomas Keough endeayored to perfect
the homestead requirements and se-
cure the patent, as an heir. His proof
was first contested by the government,
which later withdrew to allow Peter
Regain the present defendant, to
prosecute the contest. Regan came
out winner on the ground that

MUCH WANTED
CROOK NABBED
POLICE CAPTURE LEADING MEM.
Der OF A WELL KNOWN
GANG OF THUGS.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug 22.-By the
arrest of man named Oliver last night
local police believe they have broken
up gang of badly wanted crooks who
have been operating in this part Of
the country for long time.
They went into Jack Lyons res
taurant and sat down at the counter,
ordering meal and throwing some
money down in advance. The waitress
gave them their change and after they
had started to eat, Oliver desired to
sit at table instead Of at a counter,
so his wishes were complied with and
they moved to a table nearer the
change drawer. The girl went into the
kitchen to get the remainder of the
order, and upon returning she found
the men gone and about $40 in change,
the contents Of the dish also missing.
Lyons notified the chief of police,
who started on the trail at once and
found his man on the street an hour
or so later. He also found the place
where the bunch had been staying and
got some clothes belonging to another
crook named Mcdonald. The prisoner
is one Of the leading spirits of the gang
and has gained a reputation as kid"
Oliver. 1t is believed that some of the
petty crimes committed around here
lately can be fastened upon him He
was identified as the man who had
taken money from the Lyons restaur-
ant in the same way the first part Of
the week and probably though that he
had snap once and could repeat the
performance.
The same men were seen lettering
around the depot the other day and
were arrested upon general suspicion
by the police, who knew them. Moth
ing of suspicious nature could be
found about them, however, so they
were released and warned to leave
town.

twelve miles southwest Of this
place, OF tickling people under
the chin, punching them in the

GOOD ROADS
Will RESULT
NEW PLAN OF IMPROVEMENT
INAuGuRATED BY MANDAN
AUTOMOBILE CLUB.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 22.-The Man
dan Automobile club recently organ
lied, has launched new plan of road
improvement work that bids fair to
become unusually popular and which
will result in the best kind of road
work on the highways leading out of
this city. The plan is one in which
competition plays an important part
and forms the basis for what the club
believes will result in a successful
road campaign.
Seven roads have been designated
on which the club win do work, and
on each of these roads committees
have been named to take charge.
Then will come the competition for.
the best work, and as result the
work throughout the district that
will be covered will be decidedly
good.
Auto Owners With Farmers.
Evidences Of cooperation between
the automobile owners and the farm
ers in the matter of road work is
found in the experience of w. A. Lam
terman, prominent Mandan man
who had been assigned to a stretch
OF road south of the city. On his
way out he pulled out all the stones
that were in the road, and was sur
prised to find that farmers along the
road had gotten the spirit of the thing
and had filed all the holes, leaving
the road in good shape.
Some day this week will be set
aside by the club for general road
Ill u
committees will go out.
The manner in which the club
membership has been divided for the
road Improvement campaign provides
for fourteen members for Mandan to
Flasher road with seven members
each for the McBratney. Center, New
