tIous IN Bad Lands .

A few weeks ago Rev. ]. NJ. Taylor
of Bismarck, after making a trip
through the Bad Lands in the west
srn part Of the state, wrote an article
especially for the Bismarck Tribune
regarding the petrified trees he had
discovered in that section. That ar
ticle vas copied quite generally by
he papers OF the state, but l.. F..
Crawford, a brother of Judge Craw.
4ord, and a we'll known banker at
Sentinel Butte, writes the following
Interesting letter, claiming that
there is no petrifed forest in that sec
ton:
Sentinel Butte, N. OAK, Sept. 18th,
1912: There is an article going the
rounds Of the state press, entitled
THE Fortified Forests" written by the
Rev. ]. M. Taylor. This article has
been copied by nearly all Of the pa.
pers in the western part OF the state
and will undoubtedly do great injus.
lice to geological truth if allowed te
go unrefutted.
We have, in common parlance,
some petrifed trees; nor properly
speaking, silicified trees or parts OF
trees, the woody fibre of which has
been replaced by some form of quartz.
Mr.. Taylor says that he saw petrifieo
trees on the Little Beaver which arc
80 it. in diameter and which are three
to four hundred feet in length, ant
concludes that they must belong *
the sequoia family. What Mr.. Taylo.
saw was sandstone, more or less
cylindrical in form and broken in
to sections, and from this fact con
cludes that they are petrified trees
The conclusions drawn are absurd II
the extreme. These supposed petri
fed trees are only cylindrical bodie:
Of ferruginous sandstone with no evi
dence OF p%etrifaction Or silif1cation
He is misled by the cylindrical shape
of the sandstone. In the formation O
this sandstone sand was deposite,
near the shore line and the stone re
sulting took sconcretionary form
Sometimes sandslone thus formes

times. cylindrical.
The territory over which MI. Tay
Tor travelled shows many examples
Of both the blobular and cylindrical
sandstone. Some OF the cylindrical
forms may be found several yards in
length with little variation in diane
ter. The essential fact that | wish
to get before the reader is, that such
cylindrical forms are not in any sense
petrifaction, and neither the outward
form nor the internal structure lend
any evidence OF their being such.

NEW SALEM, Sept. l6.-Henry
Eumann had the most evciting exper.
fence Of his wolf-hunting career six
miles this side of Glen Ulln Sunday.
His four hounds chased up a wolf in
some brush and before he could reach
them 1t had torn all the dogs badly,
two so seriously that they may die.
They held it until he shot it and he
found it the largest and fiercest one
he had ever seen. 1t measured seven
foot in length and had tusks so long
that II could readily understand the
damage it wrought upon the dogs.
One has a terrible cash in the side
and the other had his throat laid
open. He has hunted wolver with
hounds for years but never before
tackled so large and fierce a brute.

collector employed by the Rumeley

charge Of malicious mischief prefer
red against him by Neis Selfore, q
prominent farmer residing about six
miles north OF Minot.
According to Selfors' story he had

pany for some five or six hundred
dollars, and that a few days ago he
had made arrangements to pay the
notes held against him, leaving the
money at the Union National bank.
1t appears mat Tarplee went to Sci.

engaged in threshing his grain and
he informed Tarplee that the money

would be delivered to the company

was not satisfied with this, but de.
handed the payment of the money
