BASEBALL BOYS ENTERTAIN
LOCAL TEAM INDEPENDENT

The members of the local baseball
team held a dance at the armory last
Friday night which was we'll enjoyed
and we'll attended. The boys realized
about S28, which they will use in get
ting the team and diamond in shape
for the seasons work.
Notwithstanding numerous reports to
the contrary Dickinson belongs to no
baseball league as yet, and Manager
Wilson and his men are not anxious to
play under league rules. Dickinson,
as we'll as teams west to Glendive, will
likely play independently.
The local team will be made up for
the most part this season of Captain
Sturgeon, Davis, Kostelecky, Dorfer,
.Rigdon. Wolverton. Mcbride and Smith
of the old team with Robinson and other
new men in the team. They have had
some Sunday practise games already and
are getting the diamond in shape for
the seasons work which Manager
Wilson thinks will commence about
the middle Of May.

Sentinel BUTTE GRAVES
Rec INDIANS TELL STORY

I There has been great deal of discus
sion concerning the graves at the paes
on top of Sentinel Butte, the butte just
southwest Of the town Of Sentinel Butte.
From time to time there has been rumors
that these were graves of Rec scouts.
When Enemy Heart was in Bismarck on
his way to Washington few weeks ago
to get a pension as Rec scout, he
visited the rooms of the State Historical
Society and told the following tale about
the graves.
''Long time ago there was one tree on
top of the butte and there was pass
through the butte. Back 50 years ago
some Rec scouts were out with the mail
train between Fort Lincoln and one Of
the forts Of the Missouri river and when
they got to this pass on the high butte
they were killed. Their bodies were
carried back to Lincoln and buried but
the Indians piled up the two mounds of
stone to the memory of the time and
place they were killed. This was in
August. 1873. Many times years past
when we were out hunting we have
thrown few more stone on these
mounds.
The names of the scouts were
American Black Eagle and Standing
Together. hope the white people wont
disturb the stones and will remember
what happened there. "

DICKINSON DESIGNATED
1912 MASONIC c0NclAVE

At the annual conclave of the grand
commandery of Knights Templar, held
at Fargo on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Dickinson was chosen as the place for
the 1912 meeting. This will be the first
city outside Of Fargo and Grand Forks
that has had the honor of entertaining
this distinguished order at their annual
meetings and it will be an event of
historical Importance to the city.
Dickinson, with its magnificent new
temple. one of the finest in the state,
has every advantage for appropriately
entertaining the many Free MasoDs
from all over the state, who attend these
annual conclaves, and the selection of
this city as meeting place is recog-
milton of the splendid work done by the
local lodge and of the city in general.
Much credit is due the delegates who
attended from this city, for the recog-
milton given Dickinson.
The following grand commandery
officers were elected on Wednesday to
hold Office for the ensuing year: Grand
Commander, William Spriggs of Grand
Forks; Deputy Grand Commandery, S.
j. Hill of Fargo: Grand Generalissimo
Andrew Ekern, Grand Forks: Grand

RAILROAD WORK WEST
ALL ON MAIN LINE so FAR

The resumption of greater activity in
railroad circles, says the Glendive re-
view, is indicated by the announcement
that the N. p. will at once begin the
work of ballastine 200 miles of track
on the Yellowstone division. namely,
that portion of the track from Yates to
Glendive. and from Shirley to Billings.
This work will cost $500. 900, and
when completed it will place this divis-
ion in first class condition.
Supt. B. O. johnson recently made a
trip over the part of the division that
will receive this improvement. in COM
pany with General Superintendent
Goodell, and since then Mr.. johnson has
been organizing the work.
T. F. Lowery, formerly superintendent
of the Great Northern between Havre
and Kalispell, has been appointed as
sistant superintendent to Mr.. johnson,
for particular purpose of giving super
vision to this summers work.
The work will require the starting of
fifteen work trains-some of which are
already eut-and the employment of $50
additional men. Twenty-Five per cent
of the gravel used will come through
Glendive. and probably an equal per-
centaee of the money paid out in wages.
at least, will come into local circula-
tion.
The Review quotes Supt. johnson as
saying:
''The division pay roll made out at
Glendive, in the poorest month of the
year, amounts to SIS, 600. and from this
they run up as high as 5000, 600 per
month, which was the high-water mark
last year. 1t is safe to say that at least
one-third of this sum goes into direct
circulation in Glendive each month.

Some very important history pertain
ing to the battle which was fought by
General Sully' g army with the Indians
at Kildeer mountains on July 2S, 1864,
is being gathered for the State Histori-
cal Society. Curator fl. C. Fish spent
Wednesday afternoon in the city and in
conversation with Geo. M. Frye found
that the location of the Sully camp
shown on the government map OF the
expedition of 1864 was in south
of Antelope on the Heart river, not far
from the B. Lepper and 7. S. Underhill
farms. It was here that the loug train
of wagons were parked for some days.
The tent rings cut in the virgin prairie
by the soldiers are still visible, and
Mr.. Lepper is going to examine the
records at the court house so as to inform
MI. Fish Of the exact spot where Gen.
Sully halted his great train. This is
information very much wanted by the
Historical Society, as an effort is being
made to retrace the Sully trail from the
old fort on the Missouri river below
Mandan, through Western North Dakota.
According to war records Gen. Sully's
army took rations for nine days at the
Heart river camp below Antelope and
made q three-days' forced march to
kildeer mountains, the distance being
about 100 miles. where the greatest
Indian battle on the continent was
fought. All authorities agree that there
were 1900 Indian lodges and some have
estimated the number Of Indians at
10, 600.
Geo. M. Frye. who came 10 the country
eighteen years after the battle Of july
2S, 1864, says that there were still
deep beaten paths through the mountain
passes where the Indians crossed whel
they slipped away from the Union army
at night after the days eneagemeses
For years and years after the battle
there were loads Of Indian relics on the
fiat near the, Diamond C ranch ,at the

derry of knights Templar, which was
held at Fargo on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, was the largest grand commandery

$50 knights from all over the state were
in attendance.
The principal event on Tuesday was
the unveiline Of the monument Of Frank
Jared Thompson, the late grand secre-
tary Of the grand lodge. This will
have much local interest because Of the
residence of his mother. Sarah Jane
Thompson, and brothers, Fred and J.

years. Mr.. Thompson was also we'll
known in Dickinson, where. before his
death. the members of his family often
visited:
Every Commandery in the state was
represented in the procession to the
Riverside cemetery, where the unveiling
took place. The procession was headed
by the Putnam band of twenty-five
pieces. playing for the first. time the
Auvergne Commandery March, composed
by DR.. Putnam and dedicated to the
Fargo Commandery.
After the unveiling by Miss Jaredine
Mason Thompson. daughter of the late
Frank j. Thompson, addresses were
made. the principal one by L. G.

part:
How wonderful this stone is-a

ing in his loyalty. splendidly simple in
character. plain and unadorned in life
and conservation.
Our example, whether good or evil,
the impress we have made upon the
lives of others, is what continues after
we have rendered our account with God.
May the inspiration we have gathered
here, as we think of him whose life we
honor, whose death we mourn. be with
us in the days to come and lead us to

votion and unselfish loyalty to the duties

the afternoon were spent In visit ne
and at the hour for dinner they re-

an elaborate feast was waiting TO-

Mrs. Artz. the program was taken
up. Miss Ira Illinger gave the

Miss Esther O'Keefe read a paper
that brought hack memories of DAYS
gone by. Among the older boys that
have gone out from Plymouth the
name of Hatfield HalSey has often
seen mentioned. but not much has
been said of his family. His wife,
Allene Todd. whose father was a
business man here years age. Their
daughter Is attending an eastern
college. and has written prize
essay on Girlheod In Colonial times.
and this paper was read before the
Chapter by Miss O'Keefe. During
the evening some OF the queer ways
of the early settlers of this country
were brought out. 1t seems that in
ne part OF Massachusetts, no lawyer
was admitted to Church membership
They did not believe in lawyers. but
the clergy settled all disputes Of
boundry lines, etc. Strange. but
apparently true. that since the times
of the American Revolution. lawyers
have now departed themselves that
they have attained a degree of
responsibility in many communities
and would he admitted TO church
fellowship should they ask for it.

guests trere were present Mrs.
