KILLED EuFFALOES
BY THE THOUSAND.

Thirty years ago. The Register,
published at Chamberlain, 8. d.,
printed the following item which
at that time was of little conse-
, quence. but now 1t makes very in
teresting reading:
James Dugan called at our
landing last week. on his way to
st. Louis, with ten tons of buff
falo meat. His party consisted of
four, who killed last winter 1900
buffaloes. Dugan himself killed
$50 buffaloes, 1875 black-tan deer
80 antelope, 65 elk (s2 at one sit
ting) He states that owing to the
late severe winter, over 100000
buffaloes were killed and still he
says the country between Cannon
Ball and Little Missouri is full of
them. He paid as high as $50
sack for -four and 20 cents a
pound for salt last winter. He
expects to return again next
winter"

MOTHER CHARGED
WITH KIDNAPPING

Devils Lake, N. D.. Aug. 22.-On
complaint signed by Rev. A. p. Pitman
Of Starkweather, Mrs. Sadie Hour
was arrested Sunday evening on the
charge of kidnapping her 4-year-old
daughter from the Pitman residence
at Starkweather Saturday afternoon.
There appears to be several versions
to the affair which comes as the nat
ural result Of a very unnatural mar
riage of a couple. the husband of
which Ia 33 years the senior Of the
wife.
1t appears that there was a legal
fight between the parents in 1910 at
Staunton, Va, over the possession of
the child, which was won by the hus-
band. w. Fl. Houff. Following this the
child was brought to Starkweather,
where the couple were known. The
child was turned over to Rev. and Mrs.
Pitman, with the positive instruction
from Mr.. Houff that the Pitmans
should never relinquish possession un-
less the father was present at the
time.
From what can be learned, there has
been a reconciliation between the
Houffs. The wife arrived here armed
with a document signed by her hus-
band, which was In form of an or
der for the child. In company with
Sheriff Mclean, the trip was made to
Starkweather Saturday. The order was
presented at the Pitman home, but at
the time Rev. Mr.. Pitman was not
present.
According to the statement Of Mrs,
Pitman, the child was taken by force,
positively against her will. The war
rant was the outgrowth Of this.
Application was made to States At
torfey DUEL for a warrant. which was
refuced by the Ramsey county prose-
cutor, who held that there were nc
grounds for the action. The states
attorney was at that time at his
farm.
At the time the case was fought al
stanton, Va, considerable testimony
derogatorv to the wife was introduced
In the effort to prove she was unfit to
bring the child up.
IT ID only natural that after bringing
I'M the little one who has lived with
them over a year, the Pitmans have
become attached to her. On account
OF the fact that the child had never
been legally adopted. the mother as
serts she IL entitled TO possession, with
the order OF her husband It appears
the couple were married when the SIR
was III, while w. Fl. Houn was over
so years old.
The situation this morning present
| ed 4 rather muddled appearance. w
M. Anderson acted as assistant states
attorney last evening In issuing the
warrant but with the return OF the
states attorney today the case came
back to him. There Il every appear
ance that some agreement VIII be
reached today.
The case against Mrs. Sadie Houff
| was taken before Justice McCiory yes
/ terday and dismissed. Flynn q Tray.
nor have been engaged by the Pit
mans and 1t Ii believed 4 legal battle
| for the possession Of the child will
| be started
