Houston, Texaa.-Diamond "1ndica-
tors" Indications Of the existence Of q
diamond mine. have been found In
Montgomery county, Texas. Tho dis
covery was made by Fred W. Packer.

Ing tn Texas following the recent dis
ccvery Of the supposed diamond mine
In Arkansas. Captain Packer has un.
earthed a heavily 1awed stone from
his Montgomery county mine that has
been declared a diamond by a Houston
diamond expert. The stone weighs two
and a quarter carats, but is Of little
value because of the flaws other than
proof of the existence Of q diamond
mine in Texas.
The Texas stone was picked up from
the surface Of the ground. Packers
mining apparatus is very crude and It
Is his belief that several other stones
have been washed through.
Captain Packer al attracted to the
United States by reading in a diamond
magazine In Africa of the discovery of
a supposed diamond mine in Arkansas.
Coming to America he investigated the
Arkansas proposition. then followed
the earth formation into Texas. In
Montgomery county he was confident.
because Of the formation, that dia-
monds could be found. He immediate
" began operations, employing half a
dozen negroes to dig and sift the
gravel.
After months Of operation this first
stone was found. His interest in the
work was kept up by the continual ap-
pearance of indicator" stones, such
as are thrown up in volcanic disturb
ances and which indicate the presence
of diamonds.
No effort yet has been made to go
below the surface into the clay. Blue
clay has been found and it is be-
lieved that better indications will be
found deeper down.

The impeachment trial of John f.
Cowan. the district judge from Devils
Lake, came to an end the afternoon Of
May 4th. Voting was commenced by
the Senate members at o'clock and
lasted for two hours. The average vote
stood about 27 to 16 for acauitta]. II
requires two thirds vote to impeach
and there was not even majority vote
for guilty on any of the eighty odd
specifications.
The trial of Judge Cowan has cost the
state about $50, 600, and if the man is
half as bad as painted it seems strange
that the people of his district did not
attend to his case at the polls.
The Bismarck Tribune gave the vote
under the first two charges as follows:
Charge 1-Charging habitual drunken
ness during period since January 1.
1909, and evidence introduced on this
point includes all of that evidence under

mitted suicide by shooting himself
Wednesday morning at his farm seven
miles southwest.
Clad in only his underclothing, he
went from the house quite early in the
morning to perform the deed. He used
a shotgun, the she'll of which he loaded
himself with heavy charge. After
tying string to the trigger Of the
weapon and the other end to wagon
wheel. he placed the muzzle of the
barrel to his left side and placing his
foot on the string he caused the dis
charge. The unusually heavy load and
the pressure on the mouth of the gun
caused an explosion which completely
shattered the weapon and mutilated his
feet. The charge passed through his
body and death was instantaneous.

CRAWFORD FOUGHT INDIANS
ANOTHER I0WAN REPORTS

A. F. Crawford of Maynard, Iowa, was
visiting his son, R. T. Crawford, of
Dickinson the past week, aud was very
much interested in the PRESS reference
last week to the Indian battle fought
at kildeer mountains on July 28, 1864.
MIR. Crawford was out with his son
last week to visit the old battle ground
near the Diamond c ranch where the
Indians were so successfully routed.
"A. F. Crawford enlisted with the 9th
Iowa Cavalry in 1862. serving the full
three years. His brother, VIM. F. Craw-
ford. now in the navy at Bremerton,
WASH, was also member of the same
troop.
At the time of the Crawford enlist
ment the country was greatly stirred over
the Indian massacre at New Ulm. I'M
migrant trains had to have soldier es-
corts and on the Sully expedition large
train of settlers for Oregon were along.
MI. Crawford helped to build Ft. Rice
below Mandan in 1864 and he says thai
so far as he remembers there were no
white people in what is now North Da-
kota outside of this fort and possibly at
one or two points on the Red river in
the vicinity of Pembina. Mr.. Craw ford
says that after the Kildeer battle his
company had a hard time in the Bad
Lands. West of the Little Missouri
river there was no grazing for the stock
and it was difficult to get water in
places 1t was a very dry season and
the prairie was parched.
A. r. Crawford has kept up an.ac-
quaintance with a great many of his
old army comrads and he is going to
assist Curator H. C. Fish. of the State
Historical Society, in getting additional
information about the Sully expedition
in Western North Dakota.

IS the n. P. HOSPITAL
LOCATED At GLEnDIvE!

If the following from the Glendive
Review is correct the big railroad hos
pital for the Yellowstone division may
be located at Glendive:
At a meeting of the Board of Managers
of the Beneficial Association. held in
St. Paul on April rs, the special COM
mittee which recently made a trip over
the line and carefully considered the
merits of the four cities under consider
alton. Glendive, Miles City, Dickinson
and Mandan. reported as being unani-
mously in favor of the necessity of con-
structing a hospital on the Yellowstone
division, and secondly. that it be con.
structed at Glendive, Montana.
The committee members stated, when
they were here, that the facilities now
provided by the Jordan Hotel, since it
has been enlarged and improved by E..
j. Berry, appealed to them as the strong.
est recommendation Glendive could
offer. ...
There is only one condition attached
to the selection of Glendive as the loca-
tion for the new hospital. Authority is
given to proceed with the project, but
the committee was instructed to consult
with the President and Third Vice Presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific. in order to
determine whether, in their judgment.
the building Of the proposed line from
Mott, N. D., to connect with the main
line at Terry, will have any effect upon
the desirability of this location.
The naming of that condition, how
ever. causes no concern here for several
reasons list, it is not certain yet that
the line will ever be built to Terry End.
if constructed, it will not interfere with
mainline business. but will be used fol
the special purpose Of fast passenger
traffic to the coast in competition with
the Milwaukee; 3rd. the fast passenger
trains are not used for transporting the
sick and injured to hospitals; trains No.
and s, which are ordinarily used fol
that purpose will continue to run through
Glendive. with close connections at any
junction points that may be established.
L The proposed hospital, it is under.
stood, will be one of the finest on the
system, and will cost probably from
! sl25. 600 to $50, 900.
