A.. N, KNIGHT is LOCATED
HE JUMPS $4,000 BOND

Courier-News, Jan. 21:-A. M.
Knight, who disappeared from Fargo
three years ago this coming spring,
and was apprehended in Louisville,
Ky, last week, has disappeared again
and I'M consequence two Louisville
friends who put up a $4,000 cash
bond for him are out that amount.
Although Sheriff Ross went to
Louisville last week armed with a
warrant charging Knight with en-
bezzlement and a requisition signed
by Governor Hanna with the purpose
of bringing his man back, the latter's
The Dickinson press., 1915-01-30

friends rallied to his support, and in
consequence the governor of Kentucky
refused to honor the requisition until
there has been a hearing in the case,
which was set for yesterday. In the
meantime, Knight was released, pend
ing the hearing and when his case
was called yesterday he did not put
in an appearance and was nowhere to
be found.
Sheriff Ross, who is still in Louis
vile, has offered a reward of 5000 for
his capture. He is married again and
his present wife, said to be a former
Fargo girl, is living with him in
Louisville. Mrs. Knight, whom he
abandoned in this city, has not OBJ
tanned a divorce, as has been errone-
ously reported.
A. M. Knight was going under the
name of F. G. Thompson and was a
Sunday school teacher in one of the
Largest churches in the city.
The Forum of January 16 said:-
The Medora correspondent of The
Forum sends the following Informal
ton concerning Knights victims:
1.-TWO VI MrS. "A. WI. hnlRNL s DrOCn-
ers lived in this county. One, A. J.
Coils, died last year; the other, Will,
still lives here. 1t was the rumor that
Knight secured $4,000 from Will and
$500 from A. j. Coils. Knight
claimed that he was dealing in wheat
and secured the money from Will for
the business. He secured $500 from
A. j. Coils by selling him what was
supposed to be Rock Island stock
which drew six per cent interest. He
paid him, A.. j., one years interest
and then requested that the stock be
returned to him as it had been called
in, and this was the last A. J. saw
of his supposed stock. 1t is also
claimed that he secured $4,000 from
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Collis."
Mrs. Knight, known in Dickinson
as Miss Clara Coils, when the family
resided in this city on Sims street
just north of the Goodall home, is now
making her living by selling Ger
mania life insurance.
Up to this time the authorities do
not appear to have found any trace
of the ~absconding culprit.

Mike McGinley came to Pleasan,

Mike Mckinley came to Pleasant
Valley early in the spring of 1881
with an outfit to work on the grade
of the Northern Pacific railway which
was under construction at that point.
He did not have any protection for
himself or for his teams and as the
weather had all along been very mild
he really did not expect that he would
have much use for more than the
small tent that he slept in.
The day. after getting where the
work was, he supposed that he would
have steady employment, and so was
ready to go to work, but as it seems
he was destined to get all there was
coming to him, for right in the month
of May there occurred one of the
worst storms Eve beheld by man. It
began to snow early in the evening
and continued until late the following
morning and poor Mike was huddled
with his teams under a bank of Heart
river hardly able to contend with the
keen cold Of the falling snow and the
wind that drifted it right over him in
a continual cascade, until he was 50
completely covered that he felt no dis
comfort from the snow but feared
that he and his horses might be
smothered under the weight of the
ever increasing drift.
Another incident of like nature
sounds like a dream now but was a
| stern reality to him who had it to en-
dure.
I refer to Henry N~ietert, an old
timer Of the plains, readily remem-
bered by many who survive him.
Henry, the winter of 1888 was en-
gagged in hauling buffalo hides and
meat from somewhere neal the mouth
of the Cannon Ball river, to the towns
on the N. P. railway, where shipment
could be made. He loaded up at the
place mentioned and began what
afterward turned out to be a rather
tedious trip. His team vas compe-
tent enough for ordinary travel, but
one of. the team was a mare and she
had a colt beside her about six months
old. This colt was fed by the mother
to some extent and Henry had taught
it to eat soaked oats as part of its
sustenance. This fact later was the
means Of preserving the life of the
colt and possibly contributed to the
preserving of Henry's life, or at least
might be considered as adding to 9
chance that his life was not lost OF
he badly frozen.
Henry did not know so very dis
tinctly just where he was going al
he should have done, so when he wa!
nigh the springs, where later the Col:
grove ranch w=s started, he depressed
a little to avail himself of water ant

Here he was tied up by a blizzard TO:

was very scarce and he had to econ
omise greatly. This. contributed II
his discomfort and to make the matte
still more ~dismaying he had no irol
pins with him large enough SO that h
could pin down his tent securely.
Here poor Henry passed a coupl
of weary and never to be forgotten

REV. ]. G. MORRISON'S EULOGY
We are called upon today to say
the last words over the dead body of
our friend, fellow-church member and
fellow-citizen, Colonel Joseph Harris
Field, who died Sunday morning, jan
uary 24th, 1915, in his 18th year.
BY birth and lineage Colonel Field
was a Southerner of the Southerners,
born in Mississippi January 2, 1910
He was educated in the schools of the
south, and when at the age of twenty
one, the civil war came on, he prompt

THE SOLDIER
AS a soldier, there is nothing else
in his career but earnest, i~ntrepedity

would, no doubt have received ad-
ditional recognition but for the close
of the strife. The warrior gladly laid
aside the sword and assumed the
duties of peace.
For several years after the close of
hostilities Col. Field practiced law in
Columbus, Mississippi. He came natur-
ally by an aptitude for the bar, hav-

MOVED TO DICKINSON
Owing to domestic affliction the
ties that bound him to his beloved
southland were severed and he
sought, in what was then considered
the wilds of the northwest, to forget
the wounds a sensitive heart had re-
ceived, and to begin anew the contest
for a name and a place among his
fellows. He came to Dickinson, N. D.,
in 1896, and with a few months ex-
ception, has been a constant resident
here from that time to his final de-
parture from among us. "
THE CHURCHMAN :.
His time, attention and means were
always gladly given to moral and re-
ligious causes, and it is not surpris-
ing to find his nam enrolled as one
of the charter members of the local
er member of the young peoples So
ciety of that church. His steady
f~aithfulness in attendance upon the
services of the sanctuary have al
ways marked him; and even in these
last years when bodily afliction had
not withheld its grim hand from him,
he has been so very constant as to
excite surprise and comment. A very
attentive listener, he was always
ready to give a comprehensive dis
cussion of the things he had heard.
Since I have known him he has made
many frank disclosures of his heart
faith in God, his humble dependence
on the merits of Christ, and gave his
most hearty allegiance to all the
forms of service that his years and
health would permit. Not longer ago
than last Wednesday I called upon
him as he lay in what proved to be
his last illness, and in response to my
solicitations made a simple acknow-
Judgement Of his trust in God and
HEARTY responce to the prayer that
was offered. With hardly another
conscious interval, after this, "the
silver cord became loosed and the
golden bowl was broken and the
wheel was broken at the .%cistern." 1t
is satisfactory to believe that as we
return his body to the earth, his
spirit has already returned to God
who gave it. "For he has gone to
his long home, and the mourners go
about the streets"

which ne alone could fill, and to those
who have known him we'll, the streets
of Dickinson, and some of the homes
and public places to which he loved
to resort, will seem very lonely with
out him. Far from the land of his
birth, far from the section for which
he gladly and bravely shed his
blood, far from those whose speech

his own, far from the place where .

RETURN HIS ASHES
Joseph Harris Field died. But among
those of a colder nature and harsher
tones he found as loving hearts and
as true friendships, as any that he
left behind in the sunny south. To-
day we gather to bid him goodbye,
as he starts on his long journey back
to the land of his manhood, the
graves of his father and his children,
the land where the signing cypress
and the weeping willow will accord
him suitable welcome, and instead of
whirling snow the hooking birds will
sing above his grave. Soldiers of the
north are here to bid farewell to all
that is earthly of one of the last of
the confederates. Fellow Masons will
bid adue to a craftsman of long
standing. His associates at the bar
will cast a good-by. look at one who
has mingled with them for a double
decade, and his fellow church men are
here to sing the songs he loved and
to pronounce above him the simple
eulogies of a Christian.
"Soldier rest, thy warfare DER.
