FOLLOWING UP THE
OLD SIbLEY TRAIL
STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
LOOKING UP SITES OF FOR
MER SIBLEY CAMPS.

Bismarck, July 5.-The State His
torical society has been planning a
Sibley trail expedition for a number
of months. In the meantime the
men of the expedition have been
gathering all the information possi-
BILE from both books and old soldiers.
The state has been settling up so
fast that the expedition hardly ex-
pected to find the trail along the
prairie, but they had great hopes of
finding the former camps. Curator
Fish went to jamestown where he
met Sheriff Dana Wright and Alex
Steinbach. With an auto they went
to Arrowwood lake, where they were
joined by Hugo Riebe. All of these,
who had become experts in Sibley
history, were anxious to find the ac-
tual trail.
That night they slept under the
stars on the site of Camp Atchison,
the place where the base of supplies
for Sibley were stored in his trail
to the Missouri. This camp is four
miles south of Binford, on the farm
of J. K. Thune, and the walls are
still very plain.
This camp was established July
1S, 1868, by Gen. H. H. Sibley. As
soon as he had selected the camp he
set 1900 soldiers to fortifying it..
The sick and disabled soldiers were
left in this camp as guard, with
three or more companies. 1t was a
sorry day for the soldiers left be-
hind, as action in the field was more
. preferred, and then, too, those few
soldiers did not know what dangers
were in store for them as soon as the
2,O56 troops left for the west. Some
of the soldiers half expected the In
dians to come up from behind the
| Devils Lake hills and kill them all.
! The outposts on all the high hills
. surrounding the shores Of Sibley
lake Indicated how carefully the
camp was to guard against sur
prise. 4
From Camp Atchison, Curator
Fish's party left for Camp Sibley:: or
the battle of the Big Mound. At this
camp the party surveyed and plated
the fortified camp. There are still
markers on the field to indicate the
death of DR., Weiser. who was mur-
dered in cold blood under the pro-
lection of flag of truce. DR.. Wei

MORE STOCK RANGE FENCED.

Among the visitors at the court
house today looking after an assess
ment matter was Fred Fischer, one
of the old time stock men of western
Stutsman county. In connection
with E. r. Reardon, brother OF DR..
Reardon of jamestown, the Fischer
Brothers are using large pasturage
for stock, which they have fenced
in. They have leased school sec
tion and there is now three quarters
of a section under fence for cattle
and horses. Some farming is also
being done by the Fischer Brothers.

ferred with the programs.
Nearly 200 jamestown baseball
fans accompanied the team to Valley
City intent on witnessing their nine
play at that place, but the rain
stopped the game before the first
inning; the teams had been prac-
ticing but a short time when Jupi-
ter Pluvius called the game, and the
fans were drenched in the grand
stand.
Medina had a big program for the
Fourth, and many Jamestown and
county residents Joined the citizens
of Medina in observing Independence
day. An eloquent patriotic address
by States Attorney R. D. Chase of
jamestown was heard with great
interest by all of the thousand pres
ent. The speech was delivered from
the bowery dance floor over which a
tent 40 by so was stretched protect
ing all from the rain. The bowery
dance was largely attended, music
being by Carey's orchestra. Horse
races, athletic evnts, foot and novel
ty races, band concerts, a picnic and
fire works were included in the pro-
gram. The ball game between Me-
dina and Jamestown Mail Clerks was
called on account Of rain at the end
of the second inning, with score tied
/ to 1. The committee in charge OF
Medina's celebration included w. H.
,Nye, John Geger and viii Higgins.
- At spirdtwood Lake the usual
Fourth of July celebrations occurred
with large number of picnicers at
the shores of the summer resort, at
the Tucker pavilion and the Lake
view Hotel, while every cottage was
filled with a merry house party. A
bowery dance at the pavilion occur
red in the afternoon and evening.
Crowds attended from Jamestown,
Courtenay, Wimbledon and the coun-
try tributary to spiritwood lake.
Every boat at both LaBrash's and
fuckers boat houses were engaged
by the crowds days before the
Fourth. Nearly 1000 people were
gathered at the lake during the af-
ternoon and evening. Two horses
were killed under the trees near the
lake, struck by lightning during the
afternoons storm.
Edgeley's Fourth of July celebra-
tion attracted large crowd, over
200 attending from jamestown, Mil
larton, Sydney, Nortonville, and the
territory along the Midland Cont
mental railroad.
A Hoosier Fourth of July picnic
was held at the VIM. Stine farm
north of jamestown Friday, attend
ed by nearly Is former Indiana resi-
dents, families and friends. A fine
social gathering resulted, and in the
evening there was big dance in the
hay NOW of the barn, cleared for the
purpose and greatly enjoyed by the
young people. The crowd brought
picnic dinner and supper, and re-
mained for midnight lunch, with
chicken, turkey, salad, ice cream,
coffee, etc. This is the third annual
picnic by the Hoosiers.
