.Joseph Gamble was In Dickinson

$50 per round to Frank B. Gore.
Joseph Gamble was in Dickinson often
in early days. He has been very sue
cessful in the stockgrowine business in
the Little Missouri country near Mar
marth, and can write his check with the
big ones now.
At one time Mr.. Gamble was states
attorney Of Billings county. He did not
care much for law business, prelerine
to give his attention to stocksrowing.
He has the money now and, would not
be willing to exchange for the best law
practice in Western North Dakota.
Mrs. Gamble was q former teacher ii
Stark county and tauaht in the Oickin-
son schools for some years, her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Crowley. residing in
the city a part of the time in those days.
Just what the plans Of Mr.. Gamble
are for the future is not known BY this
paper at this time. He is said to have
reserved two mich cows and It may be
that he will remain at the ranch for
the present.

BILLINGS co. REG. OF DEEDS
GLASS CHARGED WITH MURDER

Matters are warming up again around
Medora. 1t is understood that the
action of Charles McCloskey in getting
the courts approval of his bond is like
ly to put George Burgess in a position
where he will have to make a move
pretty soon if he is to retain the Office
of register of deeds.
Judge W. C. Crawford's being ava y
at Minot has delayed Attorney L. A.
Simpson from getting a writ of manda-
mus which may result in placing his
client, Mr.. McCloskey. in the Office. II
the hearing results in placing this man
in the Office. then Geo. Burgess will be
compelled to try the title in court. w.
F. Burnett will appear as his attorney
in the matter. The Nels Nichols end is
being looked after by Casey.:& Burgescn.
and it really looks now as though there
would be some heavy legislation over
the register of deeds Office in Billings
county before the question is settled.
Another bit of interesting news fos
Billings county is noted in the follow
ing dispatch from Medora this week
Herbert Glass, who has served one
year in the state institution for viola.
ton of the prohibition law. having
been sent from Billings county. has
been brought back here. charged with
being implicated in the murder Of
Thoams Corcoran at Marmarth in Sep
TENDER. 1911. This is the murder TO,
which Thomas Carberry is now serving
q thirty year sentence in the Bismarck
penitentiary.

The story of the hard winter of rs
years ago is told in this issue of the
PRESS by G. S. Cryne. who was at the
time a volunteer weather bureau observ-
er for the government at Gladstone. and
had the only facilities at the time in
these parts for getting the degrees of
cold and the correct wind velocity. AS
many of our readers know, the winter of
1867 is referred to as the most severe
ever known in the northwest. The pre-
vious winter had been an open one and
stockmen had not made any provision
for feeding cattle during the winter
months. leaving. the stock and horses
on the range to Craze their living and
to shift for themselves as best they
could. The country was sparsely set
tied. the few settlers having been in
the great Territory of Dakota but q few
years and it is a wonder that many
lives were not lost in so terrible a storm
as that of January, 1887, one of the
few real billiards ever known out this
way. The word blizzard means parti.
cles of ice in the air and that is some.
thing that very few have ever witness
ed. Anv country has some unusual
storms once in a while. North Dakota
being no exception to the rule. How
ever. this country was just commencing
to settle rs years ago and the advent
of q terrific winter storm then was seiz-
ed upon by the eastern papers and mik
lions of people were made to believe
hat such storms were If common occur
renee out here. The reports were highly
colored and their dissemination result

PRESS SECURES INFORMATION
FOR HISTORICAL RECORDS

On several occasions Curator H. C..
Fish has told US that the PRESS was
the most valuable newspaper agency
on the Slope for gathering historical in
formation of early days. Again this
fact is being demonstrated this week
in the publication of A. S. Jackson's
letter regarding the location of the
breastworks thrown up by Capt. James
Fisk and his handful of soldiers dur
ing the late summer of 1864 at a point
not far from the present site of Mar
marth. The State Historical society
has been in search Of the spot for a
long time. The government record, a
copy of which can be found at the
Dickinson public library, fails to locate
the place where Capt. Fisk was sur
rounded and held by the Indians for two
weeks. other than to say that he was
1870 miles from Fort Rice and in the
edge of the Bad Lands. Notes in the
diary of Mrs. Kelly, then a captive
with the Indians in this territory, gives
information which made Curator Fish
think the impromptu fort or corral was
on the head waters of the Cannon Ball
river. The government report says that
Capt. Fisk followed the Sully trail for
80 miles from Fort Rice which was
possibly to the government horse corrals
a little south of Antelope at the point
where Sully turned a little more north
in his march to do battle with the In
dams at Kildeer mountains on the 18th
Of July of 1864. 1t is quite likely that
Capt. Fisk went by a more southerly
route to the Cannon Ball river, follows
inc this clear stream of water 10 to
the present site of New England and
thence past the Rainy buttes and on
through the Chalky butte country. Mrs.
kelly's book. now out of print, tells Of
how the Indians offered her as q ransom
to Capt. Fisk for two loads of supplies.
This plucky white captive found that
the Indians were planning to deceive
Capt. Fisk in the proposed offer and
managed to send him 3 note Of warning,
as she did later in the season when

That a Woman Can Adopt for
Ordinary Wear.

The woman who rejoices in q Va.
riety Of separate blouses may revel to
her hearts content in her favorite sar-
torial fad this fall, for blouses are
again smiled upon by Dame Fashion,
and no one can possess too many.
Blouses themselves are in fact sim.
ply backgrounds against which are
posed the more interesting details OF
vests, collars, cuffs and sashes. The
sash Is a paramount feature of the
new blouse. and effects q happy har.
mony between it and the accompany.
ing skirt. Plaid and checked blouses
show broad crushed sashes Of the ma
terial knotted at one side of the waist
and falling in short ends over the
skirt, giving very pleasing length OF
line to the figure and doing away with
the chopped off look that shortwaisted
women sometimes have in high-waist-
ed skirt worn over blouses OF light ma
terial.
Another feature that gives length Of
line to the figure is the coattail. This
coattail motif Is used with excellent
effect on some dressy blouses design
ed for wear at the matiness or after
noon bridge, with tailored costumes Of
velvet or broadcloth. A white char
meuse blouse. for example, has pleat1
ed coattail attached at the back Of
the waist under three satin colored
buttons, the sides and fronts Of the
blouse being in cutaway bolero style,
opening over an under blouse and

A sash Of the white charmeuse is drap-
ed around the waist and fastens under

fronts of the bolero sloping downward

MEDIEvALlsm OF THE FRENCH
Seeking Miraculous Cures at Grave Of
Unorthodox "saInt" at Lit
tie Village.

Paris.-From the little village of
Magny-sur-T near Dijon. there
comes story reminiscent Of the SUI
perstition OF the middle ages
A few years ago there died In this
village an old woman named FRANCHISE
Souvestre, who had the reputation Of
being able to effect miraculous cures.
Her reputation survived her and her
tomb was reputed also to possess
miraculous properties, which led to its
becoming center Of pilgrimage while
the dead woman was unofhcially cam
onized by Inhabitants OF the surround
ing districts
Eventually the Bishop Of Dion was
compelled to prohibit the cult of this
unorthodox saint" but to no purpose,
and recently the report was spread
about that FRANCHISE Souvestre's body
had resisted decay. This led to the
fanatical believers in the saint" de-
manding and obtaining authorization
for the opening of the grave. The ex-
7humation took place last week in the
presence Of two doctors. a notary and
some four hundred Of the faithful"
the last named wearing medals and
rosaries.
When the coffin was opened the be-
levers were at first stupefied to behold
nothing but q = skeleton. But their
fanaticism Immediately revived and In
hundreds they descended into the
grave. mingling the ashes of the de-
fuhct with their handkerchief. their
crosses, their crucifxes and their med
ais in order to convert those into in
struments OF miraculous healing.
Some, with really macabre fervor.
mixed such bodily remains as they
could find in water and drank the hor-
rid mixture in frenzied exaltation.
