From Accepting Work of
The |. W. Hancock
Company.
Matter to Be Tested In Courts
By Citizens.

Last Friday several citizens met
in the County Court room and de.
termined to test in the courts the
question of whether or not the
brick street work recently done by
The L. w. Hancock Company
comes up to the specifications and
contract. Legal talent was secured
and Saturday a test suit was filed
by Jno. W. William, B. f. Cock
rell, j. F. REYNOLDS and others re-
straining the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil from accepting the work. The
petition alleged that the work was
faulty in many particulars and that
the plaintiffs were informed that the
Mayor and City Council were about
to accept the work, notwithstand-
ing the alleged defects. Under
the terms of the restraining order,
no action can be taken until the
order is dissolved, and until the
litigation is determined, the L. w q.
Hancock Company will receive
nothing.

tion he neither confirms nor denies.
1t is said his present visit to the Flick

of hearing one of the sermons of the
evangelist, Billy Sunday. However,
when asked about this. Mr.. Clark
smiled and shook his head, saying that
was not the object OF his visit.

FROM INJURIES
JOHN ROBERTS AGED 66 YEARS,
sUcCUMBS TO FRlGHTFUL IN
JURY RECEIVED WHILE At.
TEMPTING TO BOARD PASSEN-
GER TRAIN IN EFFORT TO
STEAL A RIDE.

John Roberts is dead He was an
old man, the suns of 66 summers hav-
ing shone upon his brow. His life
less body is stretched out in the
morgue, while county officials are
wrangling as to who shall consign it
to the dust from whence it came.
John Roberts is dead. He went
down in the maelstrom OF life, which
no longer has any terrors for him, nor
of whose joys will he sip again. He
was one of the pariahs of society.
Aged, decrepit and homeless, with no
living relatives, friends fleeing from
before his coming, he gave up his life
to his Maker. John Roberts was just
one of the horde of hoboes which trav-
els hirher and thither throughout the
nation.
The old man was stealing a ride on
No. 7 Saturday afternoon. At DaW-
son, where the train stops for water,
he climbed from his hidden perch to
Get drink to cool his own parched
throat. The train started, and Rob-
erts ran to board it once again. He
slipped. His left leg went under the
wheels, and naught but few shreds
of skin held it together below the
knee after the cruel wheels had done
their work. Weakened from loss OF
blood, his heart in poor condition to
withstand the shock, his age against
him, he was brought to Bismarck on
No. Saturday night and placed in a
hospital.
Surgeons amputated the useless,
hanging portion of his limb Monday.
The shock was to severe for the old
man and he died. Mo fond mother
was at his death bed to cool the rag
ing fever of his brow: No loving
daughter fingered near to make the
last moments of her dear old daddy's
life brighter. and less free from pain.
Forsaken by the world, save for the
sweet-faced Sisters who ministered
unto him, and the grim surgeon who
watched the pallor of death stealing
over his countenance, he passed away
an outcast.
Perhaps in some brighter cline a
mother is welcoming her son. Per-
haps kind father is grasping his
boys hand, thrilling with happiness
at the reunion over there. Perhaps
sisters and brothers who long ago
Joined the angel hosts are singing no.
sannas that they have met. a reunited
family, in the realm beyond the skies.
Sons and daugAters-weret they await
ing the arrival of the old man? Who
can tell? John Roberts was only a
tramp. and he Is dead. But some
where in that mystic region of which
we know so little he has met those
loved ones who were not here to cheer
his dying hour.
Meanwhile his body lies in the
nlorgue, covered with a white STROUD.
He is a pauper. Who is to bury him
Must Burleigh county pay the expense
of covering him over with six feet OF
earth in a pauper's grave. or will Kid
der county attend to his burial. Local
authorities are awaiting word from
Dawson before they take any action.
He was only a tramp. but is sleeping
secure in that eternal rest which
comes to all, young and old, rich and
poor alike.
