 THANKSGIVIHG DAY

Reports have reached Risbee tell ng of a shooting scrape at Paradise on Thanksgiving Day. The trouble was initiated by two MeXicans, Jose and Jesus Ortiz. who came over from New Mexico ostensibly to join the r neighbors in a Thanksgiving festival and dance. As the dance went on the joy became unrehned,, through being alloyed with tequila, the New Mexico brothers went on a rampage and SC riously wounded another Mexican, shooting him through the leg.
 The wounded man has been taken to the county hospital at Douglas, and the two New Mexicans are ln the county jail at Tombstone, charged with assault with intent to do mur- der.

INDIANS
 GUESTS OF DOUGLAS

There are five Indians in Douglas today from the Delaware reserva- ton in Oklahoma, who have been appointed as agents by .leir riue to examine and report on some land in the vicinity 05 Ouuro 5uu- ora. says the International
 One of the Indians, UGg saea
 good English, gave quite aI na- esting history of the ups a-d dc 8 of his people during the last hal century. He said that about fo-g years ago when the Delawares were first put on their present reserva- ton, their tribe amounted to lUr GOO persons. but that today they numbered but a trifle over 500. Asked the reason for the great de crease, the Indian stated that in his opinion the climate had a great deal to do with it, that a great many of the Indians had contracted diseases from the cold and expos ure. which had led to tuberculosis and other diseases which had made great inroads into their population
 If these five Indians make a fav- orable report to the members of their tribe upon their return to Ok Iahoma, it is quite likely that the entire tribe will move to Sonora.

DOUGLAS REVIEWS
 GRATITUDE SEASON

Tn taking a review of the bust ness and commercial interests of the city one will find a general wave of prosperity to be prevailing and every merchant and business man in their various lines report a sub stantial increase in business over a corresponding period for last year Very few people are In the city now without employment and these few could readily secure work should they desire it, and in fact a scarcity of labor is reported.
 The Thanksgiving business was by far better than was anticipated by most and especially so in the meat markets and grocery stores, and sev- eral of them stated that their sDe- cial orders of vegetables and deli cacies ordered for his holiday busi- ness were sold out long before they expected and that they ran short.
 Business with the dry goods and furnishing stores is rapidly increas- ing. possibly due to the rapid ap- proach Of the holiday season and the collection of annual Christmas gifts.
 The real estate dealers unani- mously declare that there is a great demand for good city property and a great many deals are now pending and awaiting the closing up and transfer of the final papers before they can be announced.

LUCKY BOB ST:

\ HENRY GOES BUMP
Too High a Flight in the
/ Realm of High Living
& Brings Down Birdman

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 19.-An-
other aviator has fallen. Robert
G. St. Henry, better known over
the state as Lucky Bob, flew too
high in the sphere of high living
and is a bankrupt:
& In the u. S. court today of the
district of North Dakota the
court adjudicated him a bank
rupt and his case was turned ov-
er to the referee in bankruptcy,
Emerson H. Smith of Fargo. He
voluntarily filed a petition of
bankruptcy.
Y St. Henry gives his home at
Darlington, N. D., where he
owes some of the money. There
are about a dozen creditors in
his home town, chief of which is
one of the banks there.
The assets of the aviator are
placed on the paper with a big
zero and he has not a cent to as
sist in paying his debts. He has
placed his liabilities at $3,917.
The flying man owes no one in
Fargo although he spent two
weeks here at various times.
Although owing several hotels
over the country the Waldorf
management is not named as a
creditor, although he stopped at
the we'll known hostelry.
Among the principal creditors
are the Electric Manufacturing
Co, of St. Paul and the Hollis
Electric Co., of Minneapolis. He
.oYes the Nicollet hotel at Min
neapois the sum Of 500 for
board and room. At the Palace
hotel at Fresno, Cal., he owes a
bill amounting to $500. ~.

St. Henry has appeared in

St. Henry has appeared in
Fargo twice this summer and
thrilled the throngs by his daring
flights over the city and country.
During the U. C. T. convention
in June he was one of the special
attractions and gave three
flights. During the Interstate
fair in Fargo last month, he was
the stellar performer and gave
half a dozen flights, one Of
which was made to Harwood, fol-
lowing, the river down stream
and coming back over the rail-
way.
During his stay here st. Henry
made many friends. He was a
very genial type Of man and
those who knew him always
spoke most highly of him as a
friend and acquaintance.
During the summer the de-
funct birdman has been flying at
different cities over the state of
North Dakota. His last per-
formance has been at Minot
where he attracted a good deal
of attention.

Five are Killed and Over 100
are Wounded Sunday Night
During Big Storm
THE DEAD
Jennie Hunchins, Mohall.
] Baby Carlson, Sherwood.
/, John Patterson, Souris.
Jane Wright, Mohall.
Margaret Carlson, Sher-

Five killed, hundreds injured
and property damaged to the ex-
tent of hundreds of thousands of
dollars seems to be the toll of
the cyclone which struck points
near Mohall, Sherwood, Souris,
Antler, Wheaton township and
Westhope at about $50 Sunday
evening. -.
OF the 12O injured, 100 were
hurt at Antler and Westhope, and
four Of these are seriously hurt.
The property damage at West
. hope and ,Antler is $50, 1000.
Scores of farm buildings were
demolished.
The storm was in the shape of
five funnel like clouds which the
moment they struck the ground
started to whirl and revolve and
carried everything. along that
they came in contact with.
Many hairbreadth escapes are re-
corded and hundreds Of people
owe their lives to the fact that
they had the presence of mind
to lie fiat IN the grain fields. as
the storm was passing.
In many instances fields were
wiped slick and clean of every
thing. Houses, barns and out
houses were taken up in the air
and carried for great distances.
The noise of the storm resembled
a heavy freight train crossing a
bridge and entirely drowned the
shrieks of the people and stock.
Physicians and surgeons from all
sections of the northern part of
the state Immediately volunteer
ed their services and rushed to
the aid of the injured and dying.
The storm was one of the great
est ever recorded in the north
west and it will probably be
some days before a correct list
Of dead and the property losses
can be secured.
