NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
|ROBBER SHOT
AT VALLEY CITY

Valley City. N. D., Aug. 5.-Charles
Davis, an employe of the 500 road in
North Valley City, peered into the
darkness of a box car filled with tran
sients only to be covered with a Colts
45-caliber revolver in the hands of one
OF the hoboes He was ordered to climb
in and pretending to do SO, asked for
a INT. AS the hold-up man extended
MS hand, Davis shot him three times,
each shot taking effect. The man es-
capped in the darkness.
IN the same car were thirty or forty
other transients, who were huddled in
one part of the car, covered by the
gun in the robbers hand. The gunman
had just finished taking all the cash
and yaluables his companions had, and
as paws stopped to look in, he whirl-
ed n gun to cover Davis.
Now it's your turn he cried.
e your hands up. Now climb in, and
don't make any phony notions to that
gun of yours"
IT'S too high" complained Dayis;
help me in'-and as he grasped the
hand or the outlaw with his left, he
whipped his revolver to his hip with
his right, n fired three times before
the gunman could get a single shot.
The robber reeled and fell, but re-
covering himself leaped from the door
on the other side and escaped in the
maze OF sidetracks. Davis rushed to
the NestOr farmhouse. a quarter Of q
mile away, and summoned James Kelly
and Fred King, deputy sheriffs from
valley CITY proper. a mile away. The
deputies rushed to the scene in a car,
only to find the hold-up man missing.
He had boarded a freight for the north,
anu getting off at Rogers, doubled on
his trail. When southbound train No.
10 pulled into North Valley City later,
the two deputies and Davis easily cap
tured the robber, who was hidden on
the rods and was weak from expos-
ure and loss of blood. He was taken
to a local hospital, where he is now
chained to the bed in anticipation Of
his recovery. -.
When taken, the robber was thor
oughly searched, and on his person
were found a gold watch, a purse with
over $S in currency very. likely taken
from his companions in the car, and a
iold chain and a ring with an emerald
setting.
One side of the watch had been hit
by Davis shot to the mans hip, and
was completely ruined. The hands
showed that the shot had been fired at
just 2:54.
The condition Of the man is at pres
n very critical, but physicians at the
hospital where he was taken believe
he will recover. The wounds were
made in the arm, hand and hip, and
might not have proved so serious but
for the loss of blood.

LEAGUE FORMED

Ryder, N. D., Aug. 5.-The annual
meeting of the Rerthold Development
league was held In the new opera
house at Plaza. OFFICERS chosen for the

President-H. H. Natwick.
Vice President-Rev. c.. E. Van

Treasurer-O. H. Tracey.
Secretary-D. Larin.
Together with the officers five others
We're elected to comprise the leagues
executive committee of nine, Bert T.
Legg, Arthur Bassett, Earl B. Wilson,
III. N. Hem and DR.. McFall.
One Of the leagues primary objects
is to form out of the reservation the
proposed county of Hanna, named
after Governor Hanna. AS congress-
mar Governor Hanna was instru-
mental in having the Berthold reserva-
ton opened to settlers, who feel they
W him the proposed honor.
During the past year the league has
been gathering a fund in preparation
to institute a suit in the state supreme
court to define the reservations status
whether or not it car become a coun-
tV. A few days ago the league placed
it's case with Atty. B. A. Dickinson Of
Ryder, who in turn has secured Attor-
ney Dudley Nash Of Minot to aid.
Atty. Tracy%Bangs' opinion in the mat
ter has also been had. These attorneys
maintain the reservation presents q
novel phase in county organization.
They hold the reservation is. un-
organized territory, that the counties
now assuming jurisdiction have never
been legally qualified to do so, and
that there is no record Of the r~eserva-
ton ever having been attached to
other counties for Judicial purposes.
In effect they hold the 1900 claim
holders on this reservation are
orphans" having neither parents nor
legally qualified guardians. And,
while in their opinion, there can be
no doubt of the reservation settlers
right to form a county for themselves,
the curious fact remains that our
state statutes make no provision for
forming a county out of organized
territory. Provision is made for I'M
organized counties becoming organic
ed, but unorganized territory Is not
taken into account. Having establish
ed the fact the reservation is I'M
organized territory, and that contigu-
Gus counties have no jurisdiction, the
Legislature must take c~ognizance of
this unusual situation by an act to
permit unorganized territory to form
counties. The point is n to which
unusual interest will attach. In the
meantime the settlers on the reserva-
ton will refuse to pay taxes when due

lures of money by the contiguous

Enthusiasm prevailed all through
the meeting and several important sub
jects of benefit to the newspaper fra
ternity came before the members for
open discussion and among some of
them was Affidayits. One of the great
est troubles that the newspapers OF
the state as well as those of Nelson
county have is that of payment on
legal notices where afidayits are is
sued by the publishers before a remit
lance is received. This subject re-
ceived a thorough discussion and 1t
was decided that no publisher in this
county should hereafter grant an af-
fdavit on legal notices before the
party ordering or responsible for the
amount due on the legal.
Patents with ads came up for con-
sideration and within a short time
Nelson county will not have a paper
using patents with ads. There are eight
newspapers. in the county. Five are
on all home print, one on adless print
and two one aid prints. All three of
the latter will either go to all home
or cut out the ads in the very near
future. Two of them are using the ad
prints due to complicated conditions.
Free advertising of long postal mo-
tees, circus dope, railroad articles and
cuts Of free advertising nature were
tabooed, Combination clubbing offers

subscriptions received due considera-
ton. All fake" advertisements came
in for their share of censuFe. Reliable

consideration, providing companies
and agencies did not request space at
lcut rate prices.
Several other matters of Importance
lcame up for discussion. All in all,
the meeting was a most profitable one
to the publishers. And further it gave
the newspaper men q chance to get
together in d friendly get-acquainted
session Every county in North Da-
kota should have a. county association.

ROW AT MANDAIN .
Fl!
over PAVING

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 5.-The Kenne-
dy Construction Co. arrived in, Mandan
Sunday afternoon with their complete
paving equipment. They will immedi-
ately startito work on the paving OF
the Mandan streets that were desig-
mated to be paved in the contract
drawn up by Engineer Atkinson, rep
resenting the city, and James Kenne-
dy, head OF the Kennedy CONSTRUCTION
Co.
Several of the taxpayers issued a
complaint of injunctional affidavit with
order forg the city of Mandan to show
why this work could not be checked
and was filed with the clerk of court
and a copy of same was served unon
each of the city commissioners, 2r
the summons had been sign oy
Judge Nuchols, of the Twelfth JUDICIAL
district. The authorized city officers
Will appear to answer the on
the morning of Aug. 6.
The suit being brought up will not
stop the progress of the work of Mr..
Kennedy as he will put up a bond to
indemnify the city.
The reason for the complaint being
issued arises from the fact that the
owners of property, liable to assess
ments for the improvements that
would be made by the paving, claim
that on April 10 the city commission
passed an ordnance creating a. paving
district known as district No. | which
is not in compact form as nearly as
practicable. They also protest the fact
that they have not one word to say
regarding any matter that might be
due for discussion as the contract lies
wholly between the city engineer. II.
r.. Atkinson. formerly state engineer,
and James Kennedy of the Kennedy
Construction Co. of Fargo.
The plaintiffs in the action are also
dissatisfied with the material to be
used in paving the streets. 1t was
agreed at the time of discussion to use
bitulithic pavement.
Interest of highest tension is mani
tested among the citizens in the re-
suits that will be brought out in the
hearing Aug. 6. 1t is rumored that an
effort will be made tt change the btu
lithic paving to that OF the creosote
blocks If that will have any bearing
in uniting all factions.
