Telephone Girl
Locates Boy
Beach Operator Gives Informa-
ton to Detective Which Leads
TO Location Of Lost Boy.

Minneapolis, Nov. 2l.-
Through the tracing Of a tele-
phone call over a distance of
nearly 100 miles, Detective Fall
tico found Percy ]. Webber, ~
year-old English lad who disap-
peared from Miles City. Mont.
Through a technicality it is
probable that the reward offered
by R. M. Douglas of Miles City
will not be paid. as Mr.. Douglas
left Minneapolis last night with
his nephew, declaring he wouldn' t
pay. Suit for the reward offered
is likely, since it was widely ad-
vertised.
Young Weber was found
through a story published con-
cerning him in The Tribune last
Saturday. 1t reached Oscar Pet
erson, a farmer four miles west
of Robbinsdale, on Sunday. MIR.
Peterson telephoned Miles City.
Mr.. Douglas was away from
home. and Mrs. Douglas is said to
have understood Peterson to say
that the Minneapolis chief of po-
lice was talking. Instead he says
he gave his name and told her
to communicate with the chief Of
police of Miles City. since they
could not understand each othe,
plainly over the telephone.
As a result Mr.. Douglas came
to Minneapolis. Chief Martin
son, when he arrived told him he
knew nothing Of the boy and that
he had not talked to anyone in
Miles City. Douglas insisted the
boy was in Minneapolis. and De.
tective Faltico was assigned. Al
first he searched for the lad in the
city, with Mr.. Douglas and Ed.

MAN
MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT
Intense Excitement Over Mysterious
Shooting Street Gossip Says the
Dead Man Was Victim of Murderer.
Blackmail Believed to Be the Cause.

Richardton, N. D., Nov. H.
Richardton has been aroused to
a high pitch of excitement by the
shooting of c. c. Gordon, a we'll
known and respected citizen of
this place, who was shot and kill
ed Friday afternoon under very
mysterious circumstances.
About 3 o'clock in the after
noon Gordon went up to Attor-
ney B. M. Riegler's office, and
asked Riegler if he. Gordon.
could use the Office on some pri-
vate business, ard Riegler con-
sented with Gordon.
Gordon then stepped down
stairs and in a minute or so came
back with Mr.. and Mrs. E. F.
Hill of Antelope, and Riegler
went downstairs.
Gordon and Mr.. Hill and Mrs.
Hill occupied the Office until 4:l5
when Gordon was shot and kill
ed.
1t is known that Hill was at
tempting to coerce Gordon 10
make money settlement in re-
gard to some family trouble. Cor
don asked to have until Monday
to think it over, but Hill would
not consent to it and wanted the
settlement right away. There
were some harsh words exchang-
ed and when the parties were
leaving the office. Hill claims that
Gordon shot himself.
Hill is under arrest and the
authorities from Dickinson are in
vestigating the affair.
Gordon expired at 6:55 p. M,
never regaining consciousness. He
leaves a widow. two married
daughters and a host of friends.
While Hills wife was the only
person present besides Hill when
Gordon was shot, it is generally
believed at Richardton that Hill
actually murdered Gordon when
the latter refused to pay another
large sum of money.
Gordon was rich man. and II
is said. that only a year or SO ago
Hill coerced him to pay three
thousand dollars for having been
intimate with Hills wife, and that
Hill was pressing him for still
more when they met at Richard
ton Friday evening.
1t was generally believed at
first that Gordon had committed
suicide. but the murder theory
seems to predominant now and
there is intense feeling towards
the Hills. Sensational talk was
rampant al Richardton all day,
but the sheriff and his officers be-
ing present, prevented any vio-
lence.

Senator p. J. McCumber Has Let
ter About Lands for Designa-
ton. Homesteader Can Make
His Own Application.

Register ]. c. Quinlivan and
Receiver w. A. Mcclure of the
Dickinson land Office has receiv-
ed the following communication
from the United States Geologi-
cal Survey department, address
ed to Senator P. ]. McCumber.
which will be of special interest

Hon. P. ]. McCumber, s

My dear Senator McCumber: L
Before lands are designated by
the Secretary of the Interior as
suitable for entry under the en-
larged homestead act, the secre-
tary requires that the Geological
Survey certify them to him as
nonirrigable. In its Investigations
of and reports upon the irrigabil-
ity Of western land the survey is
in constant receipt of letters and
petitions from those interested
asking that particular tracts be
designated. These requests are
given as prompt and full consid-
Grafton as the force and means
available to the survey permit.
Every endeavor is made also to
encourage the petitioner to take
as simple and direct action as pos
sible. 1t is wholly unnecessary,
for instance, for him to go to the
expense of employing an attor-
ney to draw up formal petitions,
for such petitions usually contain
no more convincing array of es-
sential facts than direct letter
from the petitioner to the survey
| wish to make it as widely known
as may be that the simplest form
of request will receive as prompt
and full consideration as a more
formal request expressed in legal
Technology and often represent
ing considerable expense to the
petitioner. You may desire to
aid in giving publicity to this mat
ter within your state.

The biggest surprise was the
small vote received by Dennis,
the noted orator and stump
speaker engaged by Dennis seems
to have acted against their inter-

his extreme unpopularity in these
parts.

claim of many that Dennis had no

Dennis received only 166 votes

80 to 80.

Fiiremen's S Ball
Big Success
Finest and Most Successful Social
Affair Ever Given in Beach
Over 200 Tickets Sold.

Without doubt the First An
nual Firemen's ball given at the
opera house last evening was the
most enjoyable and successful So
cial affair ever given in the city.
The hall was beautifully decor
ated with flags, stringers, pen
nants. and hremen' apparatus.
The floor was in excellent condi-
ton and Fosters orchestra oi
seven pieces rendered the music.
The fremen acted as a recep-
ton committee and saw to it that
everyone was taken care of and
given a good time. Not count
ing the fireman, numbering about
Is, nearly SO couples were pres
ent and over 200 tickets were
sold altogether.
The supper served at the State
Line hotel was no small part OF
the event, the dining room being
decorated in harmony with the
hall and a Thanksgiving spread
fit for king was served on two
tables the full length of the din
ing room.
The hremen are to be congrat-
ulated on the manner in which the
whole affair was pulled off, and
the splendid attendance proves
that their efforts were, have been,
and will be appreciated.
During the day the boys were
pleasantly surprised by receiving
a check from the Northern Paci.

citation of their work in saving
the coal dock here week
