. BITS OF PIONEER HISTORY. Z
} By Jean McNaughton Stevens.

. BY Jean McNaughton Stevens. .
In December, 1887, Delegate Clifford
ial from the Dakota Legislature, ask
ing for the division of the Bismarck
Land District, and the establishment
Of Land Office in Minot But it was
some years before the request was
granted, and even then it was soon
enough, for more than one. of the
early settlers will remember how lit
tie the first receiver, Colonel Plum
mer, had to do for while. But he
husied himself with the preparing of
some fine speeches, for he was always
in demand.
The Bank of Minot was noted as
doing q more extensive lOaning bust
ness on final proofs than any other
moneyed institution west of Grand
Forks. They obliged settlers at Bis
marck, Devils Lake, Cando, Towner
and elsewhere, as well as satisfying
the local demand.
E. Skies Of Minot made a trip to
Towner, says the local Minot paper.
He does not make many now, for he
is too busy improving his fine ranch
near Stanley in Mountrail county.
The Manitoba road finished its big
bridge over the Missouri at Great
Falls, the only bridge north and west
of Bismarck.
The Minot Rustler notes that "the
ladies Of Minot have just organized
w. C. T. u, and they propose that
saloons shall CO." And go they did.
But the ladies will cheerfully admit
that the men in the Constitutional
Convention did their full share.
The Marquis de Mores, who had
set up a vast cattle business at Me
dora, west of Bismarck, concluded to
leave America. This is how he did
business. On one occasion his agent
at Medora wrote him about the loss
of 5000 sheep, and giving full details.
The Marquis turned the sheet over,
and wrote: "Please do not trouble me
with details like these" He said then
he would go to India and hunt tigers.
Perhaps he did, but later he joined a
hunting expedition in Northern At
RIGA and disappeared. It was long be-
fore his widow knew the sad ending
of the story.
Another famous rancher of that
country, all neighbors of Minot and
Bismarck in those days, is making
tour in South America today and re-
f1ecting glory on the U. S. as well as
on Theodore Roosevelt.

HOG SERUM GRAFT SCHEME.
Farmers Bite on Mail Order Scheme
and Prom0f era Make Biz Pr0fifa

Farmers Bite on Mail Order Scheme
and Promoters Make Big Profits.
Ppwards of $4,000 has been taken
out Of the state during the last sea-
son by the sale of fake hog cholera
serum, which has been sold by mail
order houses in the larger eastern
cities, according to Professor E. f..
Ladd, who has made an analysis of
the alleged serum.
According to the opinion Of Profess
sor Ladd, and other prominent men
Of standing, the serum which was
widely sold is worthless as preven-
tative or cure to the disease which
has during the last season caused a
loss of over 100000 in North Dako-
ia.
In many cases the loss cannot be es-
timated from the actual loss Of ami
mails, for reports from many localities
are to the effect that the brood sows
have suffered greatly from the disease
and this fact will decrease the number
of hogs raised in the state during the
coming season, it is said.
The analysis Of the serum sold in
North Dakota by the United States
Specific company Of Indianapolis, Ind,
shows that the material in an 8-ounce
bottle which was sold for IS is water
and four and sixty-hundredths grains
Of potassium iodide.
In the opinion of Prof. Ladd the
material used in the manufacture of
the article put out by this company
cost about five cents for an 8-ounce
bottle and consequently netted an
enormous profit.

home, four miles northwest of

day morning. The fire caught
in the roof and is believed to
have originated from a defective

rowly escaped the flames. They
got away with only the clothing
on their backs, being able to
save only a few pieces of furni-
ture besides. The loss comes
heavily upon Mr.. Carter as the
house was only partially in
sured. The family have quarters

FIGHT FOES
BATTLE RAGING BETWEEN TAM
Plco AND VICTORIA.
Thirty Americans Are Starving to
Death in Town Ruled by In
dians In Mexico.

Mexico City, Dec. 27.-There was
heavy fighting Thursday along the rail-
road line between Tampico and Vic
toria, capital of the state of Tamauli-
pas, which is in the hands of the reb-
els. General Saragosa and General
Asmenui were in command of the
federals. The rebels are attempting
to destroy the railroad. The insurrec-
tos made a determined stand at Pretil
and about SO were killed on each side.
The federal commander, finding the
rebel force was too strong to be dis
lodged by a direct attack, sent to
Tampico for reinforcements and troops
left that city at dawn.
Washington, Dec. 27.--Famine faces
30 Americans in the town of Topolo-
bampo, in the northern part of Sina-

from an authoritative source.
Topolobampo is in the control of

still fight with bows and arrows and
hang the heads of the enemies they
kill on poles outside their huts.

U. S. TO INVESTIGATE
II Is Reported a Secret Agreement

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-It was learned from a

such an agreement was made at a
meeting between Sir Edward Grey and
DIR. Bethmann Hollweg in Belgium in
1912. 1t has been learned that in get
