was to the effect. that the North

Northern Pacific did not expect
any donations from the farmers
excepting the donation of the
right of way. 4

themselves as greatly surprised at

HIGH OFFICIALS OF' NORTH
ERN Pacific WERE HERE


Considerable excitement was
occasioned in the minds of many
Beach people last Tuesday eve
ming when No. ; palbsd in and
the special car of President Han
naford Of the Northern Pacific
was switched off on a siding. In
company with Mr.. Hannaford
were Vice President George
Slade. Chief Engineer w. L.
Darling and Superintendent of
the Yellowstone Division T. H.
Lantry. 1t became known the
first of the week that officials of
the Northern Pacific had engag-
ed two automobiles. of Mr.. Burr
Baldwin and John Jepson. for
Wednesday, But just who the Of
ficials that were to come, was not
known until their arrival Tuesday
evening.
The party were taken out in
the autos in the morning and
made a run over the south coun-
try, particularly along the surveys
made by the Northern Pacific,
and down into the country north
of Baker, around Burkey and
then north about IL miles north
of Beach and around Saddle
Butte.
When the party returned to
their car in the evening, the
Chronicle man secured an inter.
view of about half hour. Mr.
Hannaford and the other gentle.
men were talkative and statec
that their trip was one of inspec
ton and had no bearing on an,

'Not With Criminal Intent"
In speaking of the recent city
election a Glendive paper says:
Later returns seem to indicate
that in order to create sentiment
in favor of candidate Smith a
plan was consumated wherein
K o. Zollinger who edited the
Advance election special a Smith
organ. was supposed to have been
shot at as he was writing at the
hour of 1890 Tuesday morning.
The shot was fred but not with
criminal intent. perhaps, and not
while the editor was seated at his
desk. The reason the shot was
hred was it is thought, to spring
an eleventh hour sympathy boeie
in favor of their candidate. As
indicative of the ruse the assail-
ant escaped leaving his gun be-
hind him. No attempt was made
apparently, to identify the owner
of the weapon"

ceived in past years. had been
hauled into Baker the last year.
They also asked many ques-
tons regarding the proposed elec-
tnc line. and Mr.. Hannaford
seemed particularly interesed in
what had been done by the pro-
moters back of that project.
When informed of the statement
made by Mr.. Hyde that the Nor
thern Pacific or Milwaukee dare
not enter he south country with
a railroad for the next twenty
years on account of an agreement
between the two roads. he laugh
ingly remarked, the Milwaukee
must have had this agreement in
mind when they paralleled over
400 miles of our mainline" He
added. if there is such an agree
ment the officials of the North
ern Paciac knew nothing of it.
When asked if the south sur
vey had any connection with any
other proposed line of the Nor
thern Pacific, Mr.. Hannaford
stated that it had not. that it
would be constructed simply as
feeder for the mainline and had
nothing to do with the proposed
extersion Of the Mott line, al
though it might connect with it.
AS No. E pulled in from the
west and backed up on the sid
ng to pick up their car, and as the
interview was about to close, Mr..
Hannaford said that we could
rest assured that the south branch
would be built, regardless of
whether or not our friend MIR.
Hyde builds his proposed electric
line"

Frank Shero, Who Rss;d,s So.th
OF Beach, Went Through Gold
en- Valley Year Before the
Custer Fisht-Reca,l. Interest
ing Incidents Of Trip from Biz
marck to Glendive.

Frank Shero. who lives with h.
son, Clarence. south Of Beach.
was a Chronicle caller last Sat-
urday and while in conversation
with the Chronicle man told of
his b exciting and interesting trip
from Bismarck to Glendive. with
a party of Northern Pacific sur
veyors and U. S. soldiers, during
the fall prior to the Custer fight
on the banks of the Big Horn.
Mr.. Shero's father and MI. A.
o. Whitney's father homesteaded
about fifty years ago in Benton
county, Minn.. where the subject
of this article made his home. In
1874 Mr.. Shero joined a COM
pany of 1000 men, made up of
surveyors and soldiers which set
out to lay a preliminary survey
from Bismarck west. The ex-
pedition left Bismarck in the
early fall under General Thomas.
as MIR. Shero recalls, and made
their way along what is now the
mainline of the Northern Pacific
to the banks of the Yellowstone
where Glendive now stands and
then returned to Bismarck, the
trip taking them three months.
The expedition comprised 800
wagons which carried the provi-
slons, ammunition, etc., two large
cannon and other weapons of
war. 700 of the men were reg
ular soldiers while the balance
were surveyors, helpers, etc., but
all were armed and prepared for
any conflict which they might
have with the Indians. Mr.. -Shero
says however, that they saw no
trouble, but that the Indians fell
back ahead of them during the
entire march, set fire to the
prairie and annoyed them in
many ways. 1t is his belief that
if the march. had been continued
beyond Glendive that they would
have had a big battle as the In
dians seemed to be gathering
ahead of them during the entire
trip and were in the neighbor-
hood of Glendive in great num-
bers when they commenced their
return trip.
The burning of the grass
caused them a great deal of hard
ship for their horses. leaving
them nothing out grain to fccd.
Buffalo overran the country in
great numbers and this supplied
them with fresh meat during the
trip. along with other game. One
o. the interesting sights Of the
trip were tn, many grave yards.
the bodies being put up on poles
and in some places. Mr.. Shero
says, over 200 bodies could be
seen hung up to dry" as he put
it.
Mr.. Shero. with his son. came
to the Golden Valley about ten
years ago among the very first
settlers, and have lived here .;nc.
that time. The old gent. how
ever, says his home is at White
tlsh' Mont. where he owns two
houses and where one of his chill
drcn reside. he being the father
OF o. two boys and a girl. He i.

LAST PLANTAGENET.

The long pedigree of the late town
clerk of Burton-on-Tre which goes
back to King Alfred the Great, Is
surpassed by that of the late General
Plantagenet Harrison. This remark
able family tree, which is appended
to his history of Yorkshire, shows q
descent from Odin, King of Asgardia
about 16 B. c., and includes among
distinguished ancestors or relatives
the Roman Emperors Diocletian and
Claudius, Harold King of the Saxons
and William the Conqueror. So GER
tain was he of his regal descent that
he petitioned Parliament in 1858 to
be summoned by the title of Duke OF
Lancaster as their of the whole blood
of Henry VI" But he failed to con
vince the lords. In private life he
was known as the last of the Plan

inches, he certainly looked every inch
