Adams County Record: August Beisil
and Peter Schnell are in from the east
end of the county today and attended
the leasing of school lands at the court
house this morning, MIR. Beisigl leasing

Schafer Record: Sam Rhoades and
Otto Bendorf stopped over in Schafer for
9 few days last week on their way to
and from the Berthold Indian reserva-
ton. where they had gone to make
arrangements for running their horses
for the coming season.
Turkey Track BILL with eight cow
boys and a string of 40 saddle horses
camped on the creek west of town last
week. They were on their way to the
Knife river country to round up a bunch
of from twelve to fifteen hundred head
of cattle which they will drive across
country to the Standing Rock reservation
for W. S. Parkin of Mandan Glen
Ullin News.
Prof. Thomas Shaw states that he
thought the four harrowings he gave
the grain after it was up saved his
crop last years. 1t was so dry that the
grass never got green, yet the yields
were from tweny to thirty bushels. The
%harrowings were given when the grain
was Just coming. when il vas four to
five inches high, six to W inches
and when eight to nine inches high.
Senator L. A. Simpson has been re-
tanned to defend Archie Belden, who
was arrested last week on complaint of
W. T.. King. The hearing was first set
for May 6, but On account of Senator
Simpson having so much time taken UP
with the Cowan trial, a weeks continu-
ance wal granted. Albert MEDINA, who
was recently arrested in Billings county
was taken north of Belield late last
week to the Archie Belden place tc
identify the horse which had been
killed. Mr.. Simpson thinks that it will
not be hard to prove that Archie Belder
had nothing to do with the killing Of
the horse or the changing of any brand
on the animal. 1t is understood that
MEDINA is a green Russian boy. ,whe
had been stopping at the Belden place.
He pleaded guilty, but it is not known
what, if any, evidence he offers against
Belden.
Schafer Record: A number of ranch
men in the southeastern part of the
county, who have several times in the
last dozen years moved to unsettled parts
of the state in search of grazing lands
for their stock. find it necessary to again
move their herds. This time it will be
on that part of the Berthold Indian reser.
walton west Of the Big Missouri and
north of the Little Missouri rivers. This
is the only portion of the reservation
that will not be opened for settlement
this summer under the treaty made with
the Indians some time ago. The tract
consists Of approximately BIS, 900 acres.
. It was fenced by the Indians several
years ago and leased to j. E. Phelan.
Mr.. Phelan's lease expired some time
ago, and since that time the Indians
have been taking cattle and horses t
run al the rate of 81 per head for horses
and ST. so per head for cattle per year.
This will be about the last move for the
ranchmen in this part of the state as, thu
county is rapidly settling up. This
move will enable them to continue thu
business of s%tockraising for a number of
years yet. The Indians will be getting
a tidy sum annually for the use Of thu
tract and Uncle Sam will have some
difficulty in getting them to part with
it. A vast territory known as the Bad
Lands. along the Little Missouri river,
which up to a year ago was thought to
remain in u%ndisputed possession of
stockmen for the next quarter of a cen.
fury or more, is being rapidly settled up.
There are still thousands of acres in
: these bad lands that will never be cult.
waited. 1t is a natural stock country.
