Pulled off in North

Mandan, March 13.-Two foxes,
three hounds and fifteen hilarious men

Saturday in the first real fox hunt
which ever took place in this state:
today 1t is said that those who rode
horseback are taking their meals
from the mantles.
The idea of 30 curious a days di.
version is credited to George Ford
rangements with Chief of Police Nc
Donald n Fred Knowles of Bis
marck to obtain from them two foxes
which those gentlemen imported from
Minnesota and kept in Bismarck and
turned loose about a mile and a half
north of here. Two sled loads of men
and six horseback riders, with the
assistance of two fox hounds and one
running hound, took up the chase at
$3.50. George Ford commanded the
force with Mr.. Newton an able lieu
tenant.
About noon H. l.. Henke. who was
a veritable knight in the grace with
which he sat his horse and took
the barbed wire fences, was fortu-
nate enough to shoot one of the ami
mails, thereby acquiring title to the
deceased Sir Reynard's hide worth
six or seven dollars.
Soon after three p. m. the second
fox was taken alive, when the party
returned to this city. worn out and
happy. The survivor of the chose is
being held until warm weather, when
he will be turned loose and run down.
The sport is a brand new M here,

FINDS CHANGE IN
THE RESERVATION
National Guard Officer Well
Pleased with Improve
ments at Rock Island

Devils Lake, n. D., March 13.-On
his return to Fargo after attending
the meeting of the military board
here, Engineer Anders gave out the
following interview concerning Rock
Island Military reservation and what
has been accomplished by the present
board:
Last Sunday had occasion to Wis
1t the Rock Island Military reserya-
ton on the north side of Devils Lake.
This reservation is the property of the
United States and is under the direct
charge OF the North Dakota national
guards. Tho guard is represented by
a board composed of Gov. John Burke,
Gen. w. C. Treumann adjutant gener-
81 of the state; Col. Jos. NJ. Kelly Of
Devils Lake. and Capt. Il. G. Boyd,
Co. l. Of Hillsboro.
Three years z l was the guest Of
the national guards while at camp on
the reservation, and on my recent Wis
1t l a an opportunity to compare
the present appearance of the reser-
walton with that of three years ago.
The board has accomplished a Won
derful amount of work with the re-
sources at hand.
"A great deal of the reservation has
been cleared of underbrush and dead
trees. and h underbrush has been
burned as the work progressed. The
work has been so carefully managed
that the sale of wood obtained from
clearing has hecn sufficient to pay
the entire cost of this Improvement.
Fine Improvement.
Probably n of the finest improve
ments undertaken by the board and
completed recently. is the new quar-
~termasters' building for the storage of
camp %equipage and other supplies
necessary to put the first regiment on
a campaign footing.
This building is built of stone OBJ
tanned from the shore of the lake, and
the work has beer as carefully and
an appearance as any building of this
character l have ever seen. Every
convenience necessary for handling
heavy equipage has been provided.
and an ample quartermaster's office
a been added to the building. a
wide porch screened in, provides a
gathering place for the officers. and
this is a feature that was greatly miss
ed at the former encampments.
THE building is located on n knoll
overlooking the lake making the view
from 1t very pleasant.
This building is one that has been
needed for many years. and the guard
can be congratulated Upon the ac-
QUESTION of a structure that will meet
all their needs along this particular
line for many years to come.
This building will be under the
direct charge of Captain Angus Fraser
of Fargo. regimental u~uartermaster,
First regiment North Dakota national
guards"
