Sidney Jackson is here on visit
with his brother Mayor jackson
and recuperating after an expert
ence that does rot come in every

Mr.. Jackson has been acting as
guide in National Park the past few
months aHd started from there to
come to the railway via the Cana
dian pass in the Rockies.
While in camp the pack horse
and the one he was riding strayed
away and we're only found after a
search of eight days. When he
found them one of the animals
kicked him, breaking a jaw and
badly decorating his cheek and
rendered him insensible. He did
pot recover constituencies until
darkness had fallen and was forced
to feel his way back to camp in q
below zero temperature the accident
again laying him up for a few days
more at camp, when he was able
to snow shoe out, find his horses
and then made his way sixty miles
through the cold to Belton from
which point he came to this city.
No medical aid was rendered until
he reached Williston where DR..

SHlKANY'S ENTERED
MONDAY NIGHT
EFFECT ENTRANCE THROUGH BACK
wlND0W-TnREE BOYS ARRESTED
But IWERE NOT HELD

Coming hard on the heels of the
Swedlund burglary of Saturday
night, evidently the same band of
nalfactors broke into the general
store of John Shikany Monday
night making the second burglary
of the week.
Entrance was effected through a
back window where the yegg broke
window and removed a prop
from the back door as at Swed-
lund's, effecting an entrance into
the ware room and then using a
skeleton key on the store door
proper, entered the room.
A hammer was used on the
tumbler dial and knob on the safe
and the mechanism put out of
commission in an effort to open it
which attempt proved fruitless.
The cash register was opened and
about fifteen dollars taken. the
thief missing a small compartment
in the corner which contained
twenty dollars more in gold, the
savings of one of Mr.. Shikany's
children. A few cigars were also
missed and nothing else seemed
disturbed.
Tuesday three boys were arrested
on suspicion but nothing has de.
veloped from the arrest as the lads
were able to tell fairly straight
story of their whereabouts on that
night. Other orrests are expected
in connection with the case at an
early date.

SMASH THREE DOORS
FOR TEN DOLLARS
BAD JUDGES OF EWELRY were SATUR.
DAY NIGHTS RAIDERS AT SWED-
LUND'S STORE

Smashing a window and break
ing down three doors to secure a
total of ten dollar valuation in
jewelry and cash was the rather
ametuerish burglary that was ef-
fected on the store of Swedlund
Brothers Saturday night. The in
truders effected entrance through
a back window, either entering
that way or reaching in and open
ing the outside door to the build
ing that was closed with a crowbar.
From the small back room that
the first door opened into the
burglars tore down the two re-
naming doors with the bar and
entered into the store proper. 1t
is evident that more than one was
implicated in the crime, doubtless
a confederate being on the street
while the entrance was being made
and probably giving the alarm that
caused the man inside to desist be-
fore he had secured much booty.
A cheap bracelet retailing at about
six dollars and about two dollars
in cash was all that the owners of
the store was able to discover as
missing. The choice of the article
showed the thief as bad Judge of
jewelry as much more valuable
articles were in reach of his hand,
among them a small fortune in
fountain pens. hundred dollars
worth of which could have been
carried away in a mans pocket.
Home talent is blamed with the
crime and it is evident that no one
of any size, boy or man, effected
the entrance if it was made through
the window.

The proper utilization of our

Dean Babcock need no introduc-

of close association with its educa-

In addition to his administers

his charge the mining sub.station
of the school of mines at Hebron.
At this station the wonderful re-

WIDOW WANTS INSURANCE
4. {. Clark Of Billings, Msat., Here in
Interest Of Mrs. A. |. Webster

A. l., Webster who went to his
death in the waters of the Missouri
on September /, being drowned
near the G. N. pumping plant on
that day was insured in the Home
steaders Lodge for $4,000. The
widow who lives in Billings, Mont,
is making an effort to secure the
amount of the policy and A, E.
Clark of that city was in the city
Monday looking up evidence in
the matter. While here he secured
atfdavits from Chief of Police
Marmon, Officers Nolan and Bemis,
Joseph Murphy engineer at the
power plant and Chris Chrso an
employee of the power plant.
Webster, says Clark, was a
wanderer and had been little at
home for the past few years, he
having gone from place to place
and made Billings his headquarters.
Clark is a poor man and to get
here walked the eighty-eight miles
from Glendive to Mondak to save
stage fare. Mrs. Webster has
offered $50 and 5000 rewards for
the finding of the body but thus
far it has not been found. Little
doubt seems to be entertained by
those knowing most about the
drowning but what Webster did
come to his death in this manner.
