THE DAMAGE DONE
BY ONE GOPHER.

Medina Citizen: This is generally
the season for early fish stories. AS
we can't boast of any stories of this
kind here we will give you gopher
story that is a perfectly true one @.
L. McCumber of Marstonmoor, was in
town Monday with $12 worth of gopher
tails and showed the writer small
tobacco pouch that contained esq
grains of wheat and twenty two grains
of oats that he had taken from the
jaws of one gopher he had killed. He
saw the little pest at d grain sack and
shot 1t. When he examined the go
pher he was surprised at the amount
of grain it held In its jaws and count
ed the same with the above result.
This makes pretty fair load for one
small gopher to pack away and shows
the amount of damage bunch OF them
can do In grain field when they get
started.

skin to remtin until they are dry.

There is only one logical and scien-

means OF LIQUID containing soluble

Storm at LitehviIle Also Causes Much
Damage.


Damage.
Litchville, N. D., May 16.-In a hard
wind storm which struck here it is
estimated that $4,000 damage was
done. A $500 barn on the Jacob
Stroder farm was completely demol-
ished.
Others losing barns and granaries
were August Anderson, Lewis M. OIL
son, Charles TRACER, Evert Boom, Gus
Miller, DR.. Leland and w. A. Miller.
A large number Of other barns were
damaged.
Rain started falling at o'clock, and
1t rained continuously for twelve
hours. A wellhouse on the farm Of J.
Fl. Lubbenhousen was carried off, as
was a gasolene engine used for pump
ing water.
The engine was found three quar-
tiers of a mile away, and was not
damaged. Lubbenhousen also had
twenty chickens blown half a mile.
Growing wheat was blown into the
ground as if a roller had gone over
it. This is said to have not harmed
the grain, as 1t viii come up with
a firmer root than before.

Big Fight TO
COLLECT $4,000

Jamestown, N. D., May 16.-That the
$4,000 judgment secured by John
Tetz against J. E. Perry by default,
in the district court here a week ago,
has not and probably will not be col
lected without a strenuous fight was
made apparent today when Atty. Geo.
w. Thorp. who is chief counsel for
Perry served on the publishers of the
jamestown and Steele papers, in
which notices Of execution sale under
the judgment are running, and on the
sheriffs of the two counties, copies of
the order signed by Judge Coffey of
the district court staying all proceed
ings under execution for a period of
sixty days.
Attorney Thorp made application for
this order Saturday and went to Cour-
tenay in an auto to present the matter
and obtain the order. The order eff
fectually ties up the execution sale
until defendant Perry can make ar
rangements to set the machinery in
operation to move for new trial and
to have the judgment re-opened for
the purpose of permitting him to in
troduce a defense to the now famous
$4,000 law suit. 1t is understood that
he has defense that would throw
an entirely different light on the big
judgment which was obtained against
him when he was nearly 5000 miles
away from the seat Of war.
Perry through his attorneys, Geo.
w. Thorp and Jas. A. Murphy, has
ordered a transcript of the testimony
taken at the hearing, at which hearing
it was contended by plaintiff that he
was suffering from osteo myths of
the humerus, or decay of the bones of
his arm. occasioned by Perry's treat
ment of him, which consisted of rub
bling. pulling, jerking and manipulat-
Ing the arm. He adduced testimony
to prove that pus had formed and that
the treatment was dramatically or
posed to The proper care of the disease
from which he was suffering. Perry,
he claims diagnosed his trouble as
rheumatism, and gave him what are
termed magnetic treatments" there
for.
Perry left jamestown over a month
ago, and has just returned to look
after his interests. He is the owner
Of several sections of valuable farm
ing land in Stutsman county, and it
is evident that 1t was not his inten-
ton to permit default judgment to be
deliberately taken against him.
The sheriff of Stutsman county has
been served with affidavits in third
party claim by two residents of this
county, who claim that some of the
land levied upon is properly theirs. ana
that they hold good and valid convey
ances therefor.
This matter of title has not vet been
adjudicated. and will probably occupy
the attention of the court at the June
term
Considerable interest Is being
evinced in the Tetz- Perry case, on ac-
count of the fact that the parties are
--f known here, and also because of
the large Judgment, which is probably
the largest ever rendered against an
individual in this county.

TAKING UP FARMS
AMONG BAD LANDS
FAMOUS REGION OF WESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA, BELIEVED
UNAVAILABLE, SET
THING UP.

Schafer, N. D., May 16.-The Bad
Lands of western North Dakota and
famous by Theodore Roosevelt, the
Marquis DeMores and others, and long
believed fit only for grazing horses
and cattle are rapidly being settled
The homesteaders are daily encroach-
ing upon the stockmen, driving the
cattle and horses from their strong
hold, the vast territory along the Lit
tie Missouri, and feeling between the
ranchmen and the homesteaders is
getting rather tense. The stockmen
offer rewards for the arrest of anyone
caught driving stock from the ranges
but nevertheless the practice contin-
ues.
II was believed until a year ago
that these lands would remain per-
manently in the possession of the
stockmen, but they are being filed upon
so rapidly this spring that the big
ranchers within the last week have
acknowledged defeat and are getting
ready to make one more discouraged
move with their herds, this time to
the portion of the Fort Berthold res
ervation lying north of the Little
Missouri and west Of the Big Mis-
souri,. Some $4,000 acres Of good
grazing land are comprised in this
part of the reservation which in not
to be thrown open to settlement along
with the rest Of the Indian lands next
fall.
Make Deal With Indians.
The land was fenced by the Indians
several years ago and leased to j. E.
Phelan of Dickinson. Mr. Phelan's
lease expired last summer and since
that time the Indians have been taxi
ing cattle and horses to run at the
rate of 81 a head for horses and $3.50
for cattle. The Bad Lands ranchers
have just completes arrangements
with them to use the entire tract this
season The move of the cattlemen
from the Little Missouri region to the
reservation will be their last pilgrim
age in North Dakota.
The Bad Lands, though for the most
part not tillable, yet have here and
there isolated among the buttes grassy
flats and coulees. 1t is on these areas
the homesteader are putting up their
shacks, and turning sod. Claims are
fenced in and the stockmen will not
be able to make use of the thousands
of acres of grazing land.
