Manson had said.
Dr. Carey had told the story to the
major with an unfeeling brutality that
had Jared upon his nerves, rendered
tense and irritable by the internal
heat Of the sun.
Assuredly. thought the major. he
did not like this Dr. Carey, who had
come from no one knew where. DR..
Carey never volunteered any informa.
ton about his past life. His appoint.
ment to the army. it was known, had
been due to civil service and a pri.
vate pull in congress Dr. Carey was
undeniably handsome. He had an
air OF refinement which the major ad.
mitted to himself jealousy, no one
else In the battalion could acquire. DR..
carey had cut a wide swath among
the bellies Of Manila, and his evident
cnasrin at having to depart therefrom
had been the one consolation the
other officers Of the mess had found
for coming to Majon.
And now Major Tracy's thoughts
went back to the day from which he
mad ever since computed time-tbe
day he had met Rita, who later had
become his wife. Rita was a slender
city-bred girl Of the east with q face
exquisitely feminine in the Puritan
delicay Of its outlines and expression.
Her father was tho descendant OF a
family which had acquired the found.
alton OF its permanent fortunes by re.
ceiving and vending the wares Of
smugglers In Colonial days. He had
married favorite cousin.
His thoughts Of Rita alone in Ma.
Mia took effect that evening, when he
preached the subject uppermost in his
mind to Captain Manson and DR..
Carey, telling them of his intention to
write the next day for his wife to
come out into the hill country and

Story of a Tragedy in the Depths
OF the Bamboo Tickets of
the Tropics.
, BY FRANK n. MELooN,

Major Tracey's opinions of the
Treaty of Paris, which gave the Phil
ippines and their ten million brown
heather over to the civilized infiu
ences Of American arms, would hardly
have borne repeating in the presence
OF his superior officers of the war

ing. Well, he unused. he had reached
the halfway mark of the five grades
at a very decent season of life, the
other two being more often attained
by age than by merit.
In Manila the majors battalion had
found life endurable. There were
means Of entertainment. II one could
call 1t by that name. In the Philip
pines anything that diverts ones at
tention from the humdrum round of
daily existence is termed entertain
ment; but after a sufficient time has
elapsed. everything fails to turn the
mind from its wearying contemplation
of the eternal sameness. Then it is
that man goes out into the bush and
musters himself out Of service. The
official records are generally kind
enough to lay it to the natives.
The major looked past a clump of
bamboos and saw Captain Manson
lounging lazily on the ground, which
was baking around him like the clay
moulds in brick kiln. Captain Man
son looked intolerably old and ugly.

Mrs. p. M. barrow of this city died

DEATH CLA|MES ENGINEER

Engineer Buck Bartlett was we'll
known in Dickinson and his many
friends here will grieve to know of
his death, details of which were given
in the Mandan Daily Pioneer of April
10, as follows:
Although death was not unexpect-
ed, information received Sunday morn
ing that Engineer Arson Bartlett had
died at 1880 o'clock Saturday night at
the N. P. hospital at Brainerd, Mimi,
caused genuine sorrow among his
many friends and associates.
Arson Bartlett, aged 81 years, was
born in December, 1858, at Winnie
bago, Mimi, and came to Mandan in
1882. He was employed in the local
Northern Pacific shops and round
house for a time, but o. rapidly by
close attention to his work and
through efficiency.
Mr.. Bartlett was given a position
as fireman with the N. P. on Septem-
Der, 10, 1883, and on January IL, 1888,
was promoted to engineer.
There was perhaps no better known
engineer on the Yellowstone or Da-
kota division than "Buck". Bartlett.
For years he had had his pick of the
runs, for he was the oldest engineer
on the division.
He was united in marriage in 1890
to Miss Ada Lowry of Sedalia, Mo-,
who was then engaged in teaching
school in Mandan. One son, Arson,
who is a student at Purdue university,
and his wife, survive. Two sisters,
Mrs. James McQuay, formerly of
Mandan and Dickinson, and another,
and his aged mother, survive. All
three reside at Winnebago, MINI.
The body was taken to that place
today and it is expected that the fun
eral will be held there tomorrow I'M
der the auspices of the Masonic lodge.
1t was MI. Bartlett's request that he
be taken to Winnebago.
Deceased was a member of all of
the Masonic orders, including the
Eastern Star, Mandan Lodge No. 8,
A. F. & A. NJ, Missouri Chapter No.
1, r. A. M. and was n Of the local
Knights Templars who worked to Sc
cure the Couer de Lion Commandery.
He was also a member of the Fargo
Shrine.
His work in the Masonic lodge was
appreciated, for he had at different
times held all Of the positions of
trust. A few years ago, the Masons
presented him with a handsome dia-
mond ring as an appreciation Of his
services. ""| u
Mr.. Bartlett also was a members of

at Hebron. He was sent out in April
of 1885 to open the station. At that
time antelope peacefully graz

NEW COPPER LINE
D|CNNSON-BELF|ELD
CREW FINISHING HEAVY COP
PER LINE EXCLUSIVELY FOR
N, SOUTH
HEART, ZENITH AND
BELFIELD BUSINESS.
Reach Killdeer Saturday Night.
Through to Golden Valley; Then
Killdeer to Manning. New
England Next.

The past week Foreman L. M.
Parsons has been working a crew of
10 men between Dickinson and Bel
field stringing a new No. 10 copper
wire. It was expected that the job
would be completed Friday night and
that the crew would reach Killdeer
by Saturday evening.
This new line is exclusive for Dick
inson and Belfield business, no places
outside of South Heart and Zenith be-
ing permitted to cut in. This will
take a big load off the 65-mile line
between Dickinson and Beach which
has taken care of all the business
heretofore. The business between
Belfield and this city is large and it
will now be possible to get parties on
the line without any delay.
Manager M. E. Hall of the local
exchange is pleased with the way the
extra line crew is putting the work
through in his territory. The crew
will work out of Killdeer the coming
week, stringing a new copper wire
to Golden Valley, where they will
meet and connect with the Mandan-
Stanton extension. When this job is
finished, Foreman Parsons will come
back to Killdeer and construct a new
copper line direct to Manning. Later
in the season the Manning end will be
rebuilt into Dickinson, a straight
shoot being made from this city to
the county seat town of Dunn county.
The next work will be a new copper
line strung from Dickinson to
New England. This will be in addi-
ton to the present iron line and will
give our people splendid service. The
exchange at New England, as al
ready stated, is to be rebuilt.

DETECTIVE WORK At MANDAN
LOCAL CASES DISMISSED

"Mandan News:-Who stole brass
and copper from three dead engines
n were kept in the Mandan N. P.
yards is the issue which is being fer
reted out by Special Agent ]. F.
Murphy of the Yellowstone division.
Some of the stolen metal was found
at local places where junk is bought
and sixteen little boys of from six to
twelve years of age have confessed to
taking some of the parts and selling
same but the officials believe that old
er persons are implicated in the thefts
and if it is possible the robbers will
be found and prosecuted to the limit
of the law. Some of the boys con-
cerned may also be prosecuted and
sent to the reform school to pay for
their misdeeds.
GAS yet no legal action has been
taken but Mr.. Murphy is exerting
every effort to find evidence that will
lmplicate the older ones who have
been engaged in this sort of practice.
The attention of higher officials has
been called to the local affair which
is said to be the worst of it's kind
known outside of big cities and in any
event some sort of prosecution will re-
suit"
j. F. Murphy is the man who has
been doing detective work around
Dickinson, as a result of which two
arrests were recently made. The COM
plants were finally withdrawn and
the boys were given their freedom.
To a great many it looks as though
a mistake had been made. Perhaps
the thing was pulled off too soon.
Some think that the boys should have
been held until they told what they
probably knew about other parties be-
ing in the gang which has been COM
hitting thefts around Dickinson the
past year.
One hardware firm lost around $500
in revolvers, knives and articles that
were stolen last summer and fall.
The robbery at the McGillivray house
last fall amounted to considerable.
Some of this stuff is supposed to
have found it's way to the pawn
shops of the cities and a few things
were recovered here.
II the arrests made the past week
result in breaking up the gang, all
we'll and good.

TELEPHONE SERVICE

The past week L. B. Richards of
Fargo, general manager of the North
Dakota Independent Telephone Co., N.
F.. Young, chief engineer, and F. l..
Shuman, district manager, were over
the line in this part of the state.
The trip was made in company with
Manager M. E. Hall of Dickinson.
Arrangements are made for general
improvement of the service in west
ern North Dakota. A crew starts
from Mandan at once to string a con-
per wire through to Killdeer. This
copper line will be run into Dickinson
via Manning, thus greatly improving
the present service. The exchange at
New England is to be rebuilt and a
heavy copper wire strung between
Dickinson and the railroad terminal
south.
1t is the purpose Of the telephone
company to give better service to pa
irons without increasing the toll fees.
The officers were much pleased with
the development which is going on in
this part of the state.

Max Pfaender of the Northern Great

For nearly three years he had been
in poor health and for the past year
has been practically forced to give up
all work. A trip to the sunny south
land helped him but he gradually
weakened. Rheumatism in a most
serious form had affected his heart
and weakened that organ so that is
could no longer perform the functions.
He was taken to the Brainerd hospit-

gradually declined until the call of the
