UNEARTH SKELETON
IN CITY STREETS
Bones of Unknown Man Discov.
cred by Street Workers at
"JimtoWn.'

jamestown, Aug. 5.-This afternoon
w.lilc the city team was engaged in
blowing on Seventh avenue south, al
the corner OF st. Paul street, the
plOw struck a skeleton, supposed to
be Of q white man, which had beer
buried in a shallow grave, how long
since, no one knows. The pillow broke
the skull and bones into several
pieces. The skull, including the low
err jaw with all of the teeth intact.
and several bones Of the arms and
shoulders, were gathered up and
brought to the city hall. Near the
skull was found a cigar holder, col
ored slightly red and showing the
burned effects at the end. The other
bones were left where found. How
long the skeleton has been covered
with earth and what were the circum-
stances connected with the death
identity Of the person are matters
for speculation. Perhaps some OF t1e
old-timers of the city might recall the
burial il it was known at the time or
possibly it might be the remains Of
some early day resident or adventur-
er, who met his death by foul means.
Two Feet Below Surface.
Robert Marshall and John Nc
Omade, who were doing the city work
at the time, unearthed the skeleton.
The bones that were brought to the
city were given in charge Of City
Westminster Geise. and were discov-
cred about two feet below the SUR
face.
In the early days there was a
graveyard located at what is now
Seventh avenue south, but the Gene
terry was used only a short time and
t.1e bodies we're removed to the old
Fort Seward 'burying grounds on the
bluff west of town. It is supposed
that all the bodies were then remov-
ed, but the finding of the skeleton to-
day indicates that such is not the
case. Afterwards the bodies of civil
ians buried at Fort Seward were
again removed to Highland Home
cemetery and the bodies of the SOL
diers buried at Fort Seward were
sent to the national burying ground
at the Custer battlefield in Montana.
The cigarhoider is a peculiar shape.
II such it was. 1t is open at both
ends about two inches long and looks
as II it might have been used by an
Indian as a pipe or a part Of a pipe.
The skeleton was standing erect, in
stead Of lying horizontally, and the
foot bones were down to a depth OF
ahout six feet an unusual position in
which to bury the dead. .

PEACEFUL TINES
AHEAD FOR HAYT|
General Babo Troops Will Disarm
Upon Their Arrival at
Capital.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Hope for a
peaceful settlement Of the disturb
ances in Haiti were frightened today
by the receipt Of q message from
Rear Admiral Caperton, commanding
the American naval forces at Port
au Prince and Cape Haitien, announc-
ing that the troops of Resoldo Bobo.
leader of the successful revolution,
would disarm on their arrival at tle
capital. General BObo's men are re
ported enrGute from Cape Haitien to
Port au Prince, and should arrive
there in six days.
The following abstract of Admiral
Caperton's report vas given out:
General Blot left Cape Haitien for
San Domingo on the morning Of the
4th inst. The troops Of General b.
DO have met with no further resist
ance in the north of Hayti and they
will probably arrive in about six days.
General Bcbo's representatives nave
promised that his troops will disarm
upon arrival at Port au Prince"
General Blot commanded the mill
tary force of the government yer
thrown with the assassination Of
President Guillaume. officials infer
red from his withdrawal from the
country that Blot had abandoned
hope Of being elected to the presi-
dency.

dence in the future, the British mill
tary critics make no attempt to be-
little the achievement of the Teutons
or the effect their success is likely to
have in the near asst and the west.
Next Move Mystery.
What the Teutons' next move will
be is a matter of conjecture. Some
military observers believe that they
will continue to attack the Russians
in the hope of finally crushing them,
a task, which it is considered is rem
dered difficult by the fact that the
Russians in %retreating lay the country
waste, making It necessary for the in
vaders to bring every II of food
required for their armies.
Others of the observers think Ser
bia will be attacked, so as to impress
the Balkan States, which remain neu-
trail, while still others look for a big
offensive against the French, British
and Belgian line in the west. All Of
the observers are of the opinion that
wherever the new operation is begun,
1t will be on a big scale.
Blow Up Bridges.
The Russians are resisting heroical-
ly.
"On August 8, the Russians attack.

by the fact that within a few hours
the battlefield was covered with 20

CHINESE BOYCOTT
APANESE GOODS

Picking, Aug. $50 serious has the
boycott of Japanese goods become
that the Japanese government mas
made representations to the Chinese
government concerning it. 1t was the
practice formerly in China for the
Guilds or Business Societies to or
ganize boycotts and see that they
were maintained by all the people
whom they could control or influence;
but the Central government was SER
iously alarmed during the negotia.
tons with Japan, which began in jan
uary and terminated in May, and Off
cial instructions were sent to all the
governors of provinces to prevent any
such boycott. The people, however,
felt so strongly with regard to the
Japanese demands that they passed
the word from one to another, and
such a serious boycott resulted that
the japanese trade throughout China,
which is essential to the heavily
taxed island kingdom, has been SER
iously affected.
The Japanese legation in Picking
has again made representations to
the Wai.Chi.ao-Pu, the foreign Office,
and President Yuan Shi-kai has pro-
mulgated another lengthy mandate in
which he states: "Although it must
be acknowledged that our citizens are
prompted by patriotism, they should
be wise enough t o recognize what is
more vital and serious. To satisfy
ones momentary anger is not an &C.
ton befitting a wise man. The peo.
pie should, therefore, be peaceful in
their vocations and show no hostility
to any one people; neither should they
entertain any suspicion. The Chang
Chun military commanders) and gov
errors should, whenever they hear Of
any boycott against foreign goods or
movement anti-foreign in spirit, do
their utmost to explain matters with a
view to suppressing such. deeds. Any
attempt to disturb the peace should
be strictly dealt with, SO that our
merchants may not sulfer any more
than they do now, nor our diplomatic
affairs be further complicated"

marck May II, 1872, among- Uncle
Sans soldiers, to guard the peaceful
settlers. Mr.. Larson has a host of
friends, as he showed himself a true
friend in the early days.
Joseph Deadrick's youthful looking
face shows little traces Of the 35
years he has spent helping build up
our capital city and finding the high
est market for the settlers cattle.
F. r. Simons came to Bismarck April
8, 1881, and established the Missouri
Valley Nurseries at Wogansport. He
has spent his time and means eXper-
imenting on how to grow successful
ly trees, fruits and flowers on our
great northwestern plains in the
United States and Canada, all Of
which knowledge he has freely given
to the settlers through the press.
The beautiful groves and fruit gar
dens about the settlers homes all
over the country will be monuments
to his memory.
S. A. Peterson came to Painted
Woods in 1878 and established the
first store outside of Bismarck in
Burleigh county, and has taken an
active part in public and social
life. He donated a camping ground
which has been called a little para
disc. Oliver Peterson came to Paint
ed Woods ii 1878, and as a farmer
has been one of the foremost in pro.
noting life in MS community. He is
one who has never failed to give our
reunions his best service. G. w.
Johnson settled in 1878 and Is one
of our leading farmers and stockmen.
He was county commissioner for 1G
years. At his home we always We.
ceive a hearty welcome.
John A. johnson Joined us in 1880,
and he is a farmer who has been very
active in the public and social life
of Painted Woods. He was the lead
ing spirit in establishing the farmers
elevator that has added many dol
lars to the farmers income. Five
of his daughters are teaching in our
public schools. John Satterlund was
the instigator and organizer Of the
Old Settlers Union. His public life
is too we'll known to be mentioned
here. There is scarcely an old set
tier whom he las not helped and en-
couraged. O. fNygard, a successful
farmer, located near Underwood, car.
ried our mail in the early days, when
there was no auto road between Bis.
marck and Washburn. August John.
son. one of the leading business men
of Washhurn, together with Mr.. Sat

on the map.
The following officers were chosen
for the ensuing year: John A. John
