PART OF MALTESE
| RANCH Was SOLD
ORIGINALLY OWNED BY RoosE.
vELT--PRoPERTY NOW GOES
TO WILLIAM Balm.

Dickinson. N. D., Feb. IA trans.
action has been closed whereby VIII
liam Balm became the owner OF the
Merifield ranch, known in early days
as the Roberts ranch, ten miles south
of Medora, on the Little Missouri
river. The deal includes all cattle
ON the range, all decided and leased
land, farming tools and machinery
including one ten horsepower Fair
banks & Morse engine put in some
years ago for irrigation purposes
but the project was never pushed
to completion.
The cattle are figured at $32.5o
per head, to be turned over after the
spring roundup.
G. Q. Mead has had cattle on this
range for several years, being looked
after by Mr.. Merifield, but the stock
will be sold the coming season. Will
liam and Miss Jane Merifield came
down from Montana some ten years
ago. having been in wyoming and
Montana good many years. They
have no definite plans for the future,
but are keeping their little bunch of
stock horses. and will likely find
some place where they can run them
to good advantage.
William Bahm came up from the
Big Missouri river country several
years ago, with his brother Charles
Balm, bringing their horses and cat
tie with them and establishing a
ranch above the HI. T. ranch, and
successfully handling stock there un-
til the settlement of that section nec-
essitated a change of location.
William Balm is son-in-Iaw of
L. Telley who bought the J. b. Har-
mon ranch year ago, and, as these
ranges are contiguous by working to-
gether they have about as good a
proposition for cattle range as any
now left on the Little Missouri river.
These ranches in the center OF the
Bad Lands are, in fact, a part of the
original Theodore Roosevelt Maltese
Cross ranch, and Chimney Butte, IA
nous in story, still stands towering
just head above any other pinnacle
in that locality. Several sections of
the Chimney Butte ranch are now
owned by Mrs. O. J.. deLendrecie of
Fargo and have been looked after by
w H. Merifield. Mrs. deLendrecie
has in mind the building of a fine
house on the original Roosevelt
building site and not long since
wrote Mr.. Merifield relative to it.
AS many of our readers know, the
Roosevelt ranch south of Medora,
passed into the hands of S., M. Ferris,
of Dickinson and J., A. Ferris of Sid
ney, Mont, previous to Mrs. .deLend-
recies ownership. The original
Roosevelt log cabin, erected by the
former president On this place, was
taken to the worlds fair at st. Louis.
and is now located on the capitol
grounds at Bismarck. @
1t should be mentioned here that
William Balm has acquired the Mer-
field land holdings on the Little
Missouri bottom for the purpose of
developing the irrigating project
said to be one of the best places any
where on the river for this purpose
There are 100 acres under fence and
the land cam all be irrigated and
sown to alfalfa with profit,

T, .
Dunham Press: There is no
longer any doubt about Theodore
Roosevelt carrying North Dakota
at the presidential primary on
Mar 19. For months it has been
evident that the people were de-
termined to cast their ballots for
the man who belongs to the state
by adoption, and now many prom
inent men are openly declaring
themselves for the former presi-

People have confidence in Theo-
dore Roosevelt as they have in
no other man. President Taft

United States as soon as they
saw he was not inclined to carry
out the reform measures started

With a bit of smile playing about
With bit OF smile playing about
the corners OF her lips, and accoutred
as If about to go out for the after
noon, Sylvia Mostad, was escorted to
the courtroom in the Grand Forks
county courthouse at o'clock yester-
day afternoon to answer to charge
of murder in the first degree.
Just ahead Of the girl walked her
mother. She. too, proceeded as though
she did not half appreciate the seri-
Gus charge which her daughter is
facing. Immediately behind the girl
was her father. He appeared de-
termined and looked neither to the
right nor left
For an instant the little smile faded
from Sylvia Mostad's face--that was
when she entered the courtroom and
looked into the staring eyes Of the
spectators--then it came back again
and when Judge Te1npleton took his
place behind the big desk, the girl
was almost herself again.
Little Evidence of Suffering.
It has been understood that Sylvia
Mostad was almost beside herself with
grief and remorse and has been suf-
fering great anguish Of heart in the
county Jail. The spectators could
hardly believe that the pretty girl,
with the pink cheeks and the near
happy countenance who stepped into
the courtroom was the same girl that
had been pictured as pining away
while in custody.
Sylvia Mostad threw back her pony
overcoat nonchalently, as she seated
herself near her attorney, f. B. Feet
ham. Then she looked over her shoul-
der and again that winning smile was
revealed as she nodded to her mother.
The mother smiled in return, The
father sat motionless directly behind
his little daughter. His clear, keen
eyes told the story of a love that only
a. true father has for his child-no
matter how naughty that little child
has been.
Sylvia Mostad pleaded not guilty to
the charge placed against her at the
preceding term of district court, and
the first work in the case yesterday
was the securing of a jury.
Adopt New System.
A different system than usual is
employed in selecting the jury in this
action. AS each name is called by the
clerk of court the venireman steps tc
the jury box and is Immediately eX-
amined This method is said to be the
most satisfactory. IN this case the
