RE-BLAZING THE
HISTORIC trail

Bismarck, N. D., July 5.-The state
historical society has been planning a
Stbley trail expedition for a number
of months. In the meantime the men
of the expedition have been gathering
all the information possible, both from
books n old soldiers.
The state has been settling up SO
fast that the expedition hardly expect
ed to find the trail along the prairie,
but they had great hopes of finding
the fortified camps. Curator Fish
went to jamestown where he met
Sheriff Dana Wright and Alex Stein
bach. With an auto they went to
Arrowood lake where they were Joined
by Hugo Riebe, All of these who had
become experts in Sibley history were
anxious to find the actual trail.
That night they slept under the
stars or 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 is,
1858, 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

add MUCH Land
TO TAX ROLLS
ABOUT 41,00o ACRES FOUND IN
MORTON COUNTY THAT HAD
ESCAPED TAXATION,

Grand Forks, N. d, July 5.-Forty-
one thousand acres of land in Morton
county that has heretofore escaped
taxation has been placed on the as
sessment rolls this year, according to
F. e. Packard. chairman of the state
tax commission, who was in Grand
Forks today.
Mr.. Packard says that much Of this
land is on the Standing Rock reser-
walton, IN which patents have been
issued by the government from two to
five years ago. Thus many Of the land
wner will be compelled to pay AK
es that have been overlooked for sew
eral years, and the sum realized by the
state will be considerable. The only
taxation to which they are liable is
that imposed by the state. 2
Assessing Public Utilities.
At the present time the members OF
the commission are devoting their at
tention to the assessment of public
utility corporations, provided for un-
der the tax commission law. This is
the first time the corporations have
been taxed in this manner, and the
commission is in most instances
adopting figures that have previously
prevailed, not having sufficient time to
thoroughly study the conditions.
Mr.. Packard will remain here sever
al days, the guest of his father, and
he is accompanied by his family.

JUDGE BUTTE WENT
AFTER PIGGERS

Rolla, N. d., July Sin passing
on a number Of blindpiggers here
Judge Buttz was most severe. ALI
Besant of Thorne, was fined $500 and
costs. VIM. Utter Of st. John, a $500
fine and $262.70 costs, besides which
each drew seven months in jail.
Oscar Bye of Thorne, was fined $500
and costs, amounting to 1886, and
Arthur Mott of Rolette paid a fine Of
$500 and costs.
The court said the evidence showed
more fragrant violation than he had
ever before experienced in such cases.
That while he was not going to inn
pose the limit, he was going to make
this sort of business most unpleasant
and dangerous, the fine large enough
to take the profit out of it, that the
costs would be taxed against the de-
PENDANTS, and the jail sentence in de-
fault Of payment so strong as to make
it an inducement for the defendants
to pay their fine and costs. Thus he
relieves the taxpayers from the burden
of the expense forced upon the county
by this class of cases.

CROP PROSPECTS
GRAIN IN sTuTsMAN COUNTY
PROMISES A FAIR AVERAGE
YIELD THIS SEASON.

jamestown, N. D., July 5.-Reports
from around the county show that the
crop prospects for the coming harvest
are very good at the present time, and
that recent rains and cool weather
have made the wheat come on very
rapidly, while other grains are also
doing we'll. where the cultivation has
been OF the usual sort. Wheat is
heading out in some fields with rath-
er short straw, but on the whole the
condition Of that crop promises to be
a fair yield although not equal to the
general heavy yield of last year. Rye
is headed out and will be ready for
harvest in a couple of weeks. Barley
Is also growing rapidly and fax is
looking well.
Stutsman county seems to be ia
vored this year from all reports, COM
pared with some Of the other counties
where the rains have been less fire.

Quotations in the local market in
dictate better prices for the crop the
coming season than last year, and it
is predicted by elevator men that
wheat may reach 81 a bushel again.
Agents soliciting the sale Of binding
Irvine report that the demand will be
much less this yea than last, which
is one indication Of the falling off in
the yield. One we'll known represent
alive Of Irvine manufacturers gives his
opinion that the total crop Of this
year will run between a half and two
thirds of the yield of last year.
Local wheat remains about the same
as asst week. Flax is a little strong
er, $1.21. Cats remain steady at 33c,
advance of 10 cents a bushel over

find Camp Shoeneman, or the location
of the Battle of Stoney Lake, as they
were to locate Camp Atchison, and
after a thorough search they found
the breastworks of the lamp on the
farm of L. A. Slaatenhus four miles
north of Driscoll. This camp was a
fortunate discovery.
The slough has given up many iron
parts of wagons. The horses and
mules had given out, and the wagons
were burned and the iron parts were
thrown into Stoney lake.
The Indians attacked the Sibley
forces just as they started UP the long
incline out of the camp, The battle,
on July %, 1858, might have been
fatal had it no been for Jones bat
terry which was always a terror to the
Indians.
They almost cut off the herd, and it
was with difficulty that the army was
kept from being surrounded. This was
the last desperate attempt to delay
the soldiers so the women and chill
dren could get over the Missouri river.
The last camp IN this march to the
Missouri was Camp Slaughter which
is near the farm of Norman Fa1coner.

tracted their steps after reaching
Camp Slaughter.
After Curator Fish and his COM

Shoeneman they broke up their party
and returned home. They have plat

They realize more than ever that

CLEAR COVERS OF
SHOOTING CHARGE
REAcH CHIEF or POLICE FREED.
BY JUDGE, GREETED WITH
CHEERS BY FRIENDS.

Beach. N. D.. July 5.--chief of Po-
lice j. w. Covers was exonerated
from the shooting OF Fred Blumson
whom he killed several days ago
Covers was charged with manslaugh-
ter, the hearing, however, failing to
develop tangible evidence on which ia
hold the police chief.
AS the decision was announced the
court room, packed with spectators,
broke into wild pandemonium and
cheers of Covers friends lasted sew
eral minutes.
Interest vas added to the shooting
because Blumson and Covers had
been political enemies.
The shooting occurred when Cow
ers attempted to break UP a row on a
street In Beach, it being charged
that Blumson interfered. He was
fleeing from the officer when the shot
was fired, the chief stating that he
fired only to brighten him.

RAINS IMPROVE
WESTERN CROPS

Mandan, N. D., July 5.--The crop
conditions have improved materially
during the recent rainfalls which, from
the reports, have extended generally
over the slope country. and the dam
age done to some fields the first week
Of June SENS to have been repaired to
a great extent.
So far the only grain damaged is
that which was sown very early and
was injured by frost rather than from
lack of moisture.
Estimates Of the crop results vary
from so per cent for the early sown to
So per cent for the late sown wheat.
Corn and fax are making great prog
