About Naturalization Papers

1t may be of benefit to great number
of the readers of this paper to read care
fully the following notations regarding
the naturalization laws:
All declarations of intention executed
after September 10Th. 1906. become
absolutely void and useless seven years
after date of execution. One of the
United States district courts has held
that the seven year period of limitation
began to run on September 9th, 1906.
against all declaration Of intention exc
cuted prior to that time. Any one
having declaration of intention being
more than seven years old, can not
use same for any purpose after Sep
tember 9th, 1913. and in order to be
naturalized will have to take new
declaration of intention and wait until
it gets two years old.
1t should always be born in mind that
both the witnesses on a petition must
be citizens of the United States; and if
it develops at the hearing that one, or
both. of the witnesses is not citizen,
the petition will have to be dismissed,
for. in such cases, no substitution can
be lawfully made. In each instance
where the witness is naturalized
citizen. he will have to have proof of
such citizenship with him at the hear
ing. If he has not his original certifi-
cate of naturalization, he will have to
get certified copy Of same from the
clerk of the court in which same was
issued.
All petitioners for naturalization who
executed their first papers after the
passage of the act of June 29, 1906,
must sign the petition with their own
hand writing and not by cross marks
ds has been the custom of some people.
The law makes no exception whatever
in favor of homesteaders in this matter.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL
ASKS The CITIZENS TO hELP

H. L. Reade of Bismarck, chief as
sistant fire marshal of North Dakota,
and secretary of the North Dakota
Firemen's Association, was in Dickin-
son the past week and in company with
Fire Chief H. J. Gruschus, made an
inspection of the city. To PRESS re-
porter Mr.. Reade said: Il have not
been in Dickinson since 1900, the year
the firemen of North Dakota held
their annual convention here, and in
deed it is a pleasure to be here again
and meet old friends of long standing.
am not altogether surprised at the
growth of your city, having read of the
progress being made by your citizens.
assure you, however, that the half
has not been told. Chief Gruschus, l
must say, is 10 be congratulated for the
fine condition of the city so far as any
dangerous conditions Of fire hazards are
concerned. The citizens Of Dickinson
may not see much of the fire chief yet
assure you he is familiar with most
conditions affecting the fire hazard
existing in and around the city.
''The fremen of the state have long
recognized Chief Gruschus as one of the
best fire fighters in the country and I
trust the city of Dickinson will give
him the support he justly deserves.
Mr.. Littlehales, your superintendent of
water works, has fully explained all
the workings of your splendid water
system. l am sure Dickinson has one
of the very best water systems in the
state, both for domestic uses and fire pro-
lection. It is clean. efficient and l
trust economical. Your splendid busi-
ness houses, with their large and COM
plete stocks of goods. are unexcelled.
All of your buildings are occupied.
which bespeaks of prosperity.
There are some things in a small
way that can be improved which will
tend to lessen the danger of a fire. A
few of the back alleys could be tidied
up and some of the open doors closed
and thus it would lesser the risk of a
fire. But the business men with whom
we have talked, have so readily entered
into the spirit of our suggestions that
feel certain these various things will
be attended to promptly. II is the de-
sire of the fire marshal of this state to
aid all of its citizens 10 better look
after the surroundings of their places
of business and their homes. This
will tend to lessen the great fire waste
that is North Dakota's annual ash pile.
The saving of property from fire will
eventually decrease FIRE insurance rates.
We ask your hearty cooperation. =

Dr.. and Mrs. Bowen Have Accident

DR.. and Mrs. j. W. Bowen met with
quite serious accidents the night of the
9Th while out in their automobile. 1t
was nearly dark and they did not see
a pile of dirt in the road at the end Of
the water line on the street just north
of the Farmers elevator. The auto
was going at lively clip when the
accident occurred. Mrs. Bowen sus-
tained a fractured collar bone. while
her husband very nearly dislocated
his hip, and both were taken to St.
Joseph's hospital. DR.. Bowen expected
that he could get around within few
days. Mrs. Bowen will not suffer
much discomfort except from having
her arm tied up for a few weeks. The
car was badly damaged.

Dr.. Stickney's
Long Service
future Work Will Be As consuItina
Physician. Here Since 1853.
Stands High in His
Profession.

After a service OF 81 years in the
field Of medicine and surgery Dr.. ".
H. Stickney of Dickinson has elected
to retire from active work in his chosen
profession. and in the future will only
give professional services as consulting
physician. 1t will leave DR.. Stickney
free to do such work as he likes. He
expects to still retain his connection
with the Northern Pacific Ry. ca. as
consulting surgeon.
DR.. Stickney's work has been arduous
at times and he has we'll earned the
change and rest which he now seeks.
In point of service Dr.. Stickney is the
the Oldest railroad physician on the
Northern Pacific system. He received
his appointment in 1886. and it is
only in the last 8 or 10 years that he
5 has had an assistant.
Dr.. v. H. Stickney is native of
Vermont, being a brother of former
Gov. .-Stickney of the Green Mountain
state. He graduated from Dartmouth in
June 1883, coming to Dickinson in
September of the same year. With the
exception of DR.. j. B. Mcdonald, he
was the only physician in Western
North Dakota between Mandan and
Glendive, a distance of 200 miles. For
many years Dr.. Stickney often made
hard drives of so to $50 miles into the
country north and south to minister to
the wants of cattle owners and their
employees. He became very skillful in
both medicine and. surgery and his
work became exceedingly heavy. The
people had confidence in him. which
was a source of great satisfaction to
the doctor while making professional
visits. Few physicians have enjoyed
the confidence and esteem Of the people
in. general as does DR.. Stickney today.
During the year of 1888 Dr.. Stickney
became interested in the growing of
cattle. He has been successful in this
business and still owns or has interests
in number of herds in the country
tributary to Dickinson. His cattle are
closely bred and always bring the
highest market price in Chicago.
DR.. Stickney has been. sent out on
different occasions to lecture before
medical gatherings and has always
been found a most entertaining and
instructive speaker.
For the past few years Dr.. Stickney
has been looking after the estate of
his brother, the late H. o. Stickney, at
Portland, Oregon. This brother, it will
be remembered. was one of the FORE
most athletes of the country, having
won fame in Harvard college and
also at Chicago as foot ball coach.
Dickinson will continue to be the
home of DR.. and Mrs. Stickney and
their two daughters. The doctor has
in the past had much to do with the
development of our city. He has all
ways taken keen interest in educa-
ticnal affairs and other things which
pertained to the best interests of the
community.

jim CLAYTON LANDS IN PEN
A HORSE Thief FOR YEARS

lan0. known throughout the territory
between Belle Fourche and Bowman as
Jim Clayton. occupation horse thief.
has at last landed where he belongs,
behind the bars of the Bismarck peni-
tentiary. Sheriff Barrett delivered him
there this week.
Sutherland was arrested two weeks
ago by Sheriff Barrett on a charge
of horse stealing upon which Sutherland
had an examination four years ago.
At that time he was discharged by S.
L. Sheldon. justice of the peace. This
time. however, it was no joke. Gil
bert, his old pal. was in the pen for a
year and half.
1t will be remembered that four years
ago Lewis A. Jordan of Haynes lost a
span of horses, and they were taken
up by Mr.. Hahn at Ash. H. A. Gilbert
looked over the animals after they
were advertised by Hahn. and later
Clayton, or Sutherland. showed up,
claiming to be the owner, described the
horses. paid the expenses incurred and
took them away. Soon after the real
owner showed up and later the horses
were found in Clayton S pasture. This
is the offense for which he was now
arrested.
After being captured the next thing
was to find Jordan, the complaining
witness and the man who -owned the
stolen horses, but Sheriff Barrett and
States Attorney Torkelson finally To-
Gated him in South Dakota, and found
that he would appear at the examina-
tion.
During part of the time that Suther-
land was in Jail here H. A. Gilbert
was also here but they are not on very
good terms, Gilbert having a suit
against Sutherland.
Sheriff Barrett believes that confess
sion is good for the soul, and likes to
have all his prisoners 'fess up if pos
sible, and it seems that it was possible
for Sutherland after he had been down
under the court house for week or SO
with a prospect of some more Of it. So
he finally told the sheriff that he was
guilty as charged. The states attorney
was sent for before the prisoner could
change his mind, and they got confess
sion on paper with Sutherland's sigma
ture to it.
This confession is to the effect that
Sutherland is the true name of the
prisoner instead of Clayton. That in
the year 1909, on July 9Th or 5th.
Sutherland was celebrating the Fourth
in Bowman, when he was approached
by n. A. Gilbert, who described the
horses in question and told Sutherland
to 60 and get them. This Sutherland
did.
On Monday Sheriff Barrett returned
from Bismarck where he had taken Gill
bert to the penitentiary and that after
noon started for Dickinson with Suther-
land, to appear before Judge Crawford,
enter his plea Of guilt and get his
sentence.
Upon their arrival al Dickinson
Sutherland was Immediately taken be-
fore Judge Crawford and entered plea
of guilty to tile charge Of horse steal
ing. The court then sentenced him to
serve one and half years in the peni-
tentiary at Bismarck. Sheriff Barrett
immediatly took the prisoner to Bis
marck.
Sheriff Barrett and States Attorney
Torkelson are deserving of great deal
of credi, for landing this fellow behind
the bars, and al such light expense to

The music was supplied by several
bands on the occasion of the parade held
by the Woodrow Wilson College Mems
Club on November last, the Saturday
before election. There was much enthu.
siasm in that parade-and much noise
though none like paying the bandsmen
their hard-earned wage. Edward T
King, manager of the 7th Regiment Band
had fifty musicians and leader In line.
William i. Connolly had nine and Lam

When, dissatisfied with the result Of ap-
peals, they became satisfied that they
were not to be paid, they wrote a Joint
note to Joseph r. Tumulty, secretary to

claim for music ought to be taken over
by the National Democratic Committee.

was not responsible for the music bill.
