BANQUET AND RECEPTION
GIVEN Up FOR PRESENT

Owing to the unusual interest TAX
en- in the speakership matter at Bis
marck, it became necessary this week
to postpone the Commercial Club BAN
quet and reception which had prevl-
ously been arranged in Dickinson for
the legislative members Of south
western North Dakota.
1t was found early in the week that
the Stark county delegation, Senator
M. L. Mcbride and Representatives
C. C. Turner, H. J. Blanchard and
Frank x. Wanner, would feel obliged
to be in Bismarck not later than
Wednesday; the same was also found
to be true of the most Of the other
members of this part of the state.
The citizens of Dickinson had made
preparations for a grand reception
for the legislative members of this
district and it was with much re-
luctance that they gave up the gath
ering scheduled for the evening OF
January End.
= It is impossible at this time to tell
when the reception will be held.

ITS KELLER'S MOVE

1t is expected that Mike Keller will
be brought before Judge w. C. Craw-
ford on January End to see what he
wants to do. He pleaded not guilty
a few weeks ago and his bond was
fixed conditionally by the court at
$1,000, the condition being that he
should not go near Richardton. The
prisoner has besought many to go
his bail but without success.
When Mike Keller was first taken
to Jail he wrote Judge Crawford and
States Attorney J. P. Cain that he
was willing to plead guilty to such
charge as they considered proper.
However, when he subsequently came
before the court he had changed his
mind and said he was not guilty of
manslaughter as charged in the COM
plant.
Mrs. Keller and the children are
conducting the hotel at Richardton
and according to report are getting
along very nicely.

MANNING PRISONERS
S|NGED WHEN JAIL
BURNED DECEMBER 26

The Dunn county Jail burned at
Manning at an early hour the morn
ing of December 26th and the three
inmates were released just in time to
save their lives. AS it was they were
smoked up a little before the deputy
sheriff came to their rescue.
Harley Houser and Amos Chase,
waiting sentence for beaver trapping
on the river near the Wilcox ranch,
and Schmity, the fellow sent up from
Killdeer for 80 days for wheat steal
ing, were the frightened prisoners
liberated at o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Fritz Miller, who slept in the
corridor and attended to the wants of
the prisoners, ran two blocks in his
bare feet to get the deputy to come
to the rescue.
The prisoners have since been
taken to the Jail in Dickinson.
Fire started from a defective CHM
ney. The Jail building was erected at
an expense of $500 last season after
the burning of the court house. 1t
was covered with galvonized iron,
cement floor, lathed and plastered in
side and was looked upon as being
practically fire proof, or as nearly so
as is possible to make from such ma
terial. There was no insurance.
The beaver trappers were caught
by o. P. Branick, who seized the hides
which the men had killed ont at KILL
deer as mink and weasel skins.

Of EARLY DAYS
Historian G. s. Cfyne Gives Graphic
Description of History Surround
ing the A. B. Robinson House
Which Was Partly Destroyed
by Fire Recently.

The item that appeared in the
PRESS recently regarding the burn
ing of the A. B. Robinson house in
the northern part of the city Of Dick
inson brings to mind the fact that
that building was erected in Glad
stone in the month of August, 1882,
and was removed to Dickinson some
where about 1887 or 1883. It was
built for hardware store and also
was occupied as a dwelling by G. S.
Cryne and family until they moved to
"Stone Grange" their homestead, in
1884.
Many notables were entertained
within the walls of this pioneer build
ing in the early sos: such names as
E.. v. Smalley of the Northwest
Magazine" Peter B. Groat and other
officials of the N. P. Ry. Co. frequent
ly stopped at Cryne's in those days,
because he kept open door, and be-
cause he was always identified then,
as now, in boosting the country.
Then there came to his home for
mer acquaintance in the person of
Col. Daniels (1st Wis. Cavalry during
the war of the States), professor of
geology in the University Of Mime
sofa.
DR.. Peale of the Hayden & Peale
expedition, the first persons to know
anything about the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park-made Cryne's his head
quilfters for a time before going east
in the fall of 1882 to permanently
become identified with the labors of
the Smithsonian Institute in Wash
ington, D. c.. 1t was he that had
the honor of naming the "Dakota
Sandstone" (Something will be said
in future article about this incident.
"Uncle Rufus Hatch" was a visitor
at Cryne's in the summer of 1888
when he was escorting coterie Of
friends into the Park region.
Jack, Billy Germain, the secret serv
general utility man of the U. S. gov
ernment, an acquaintance of Andrew
Jopp, stopped while on a visit to Mr.
Jopp at Cryne's, as matter of fact
because there was at that time NJ
hotel to stop at and Mr.. Jopp was
occupying small quarters in the first
building completed in Gladstone
which still has being and stands ir
the rear of the Gladstone Mercantile
building.
Nearly every representative hunter
scout and frontiersman, at one time
or another, was entertained at table
by the Crynes.' Mr.. Colgrove and his
son, James, O'Donnell Wannegar
Lufsey (he whom the Marquis de
Mores punctured for his own good)
and many other notorious, or other.
wise, men of the early days, all were
expected to go to the supply store Of
Cryne when they came to Gladstone
The store room saw divine worship
Sunday school, card parties, etc., ano
was a general rendezvous for every
one seeking little recreation or re.
Taxation from the duties of life, or q
little cheerful council regarding the
pertinent problems of the day and ths
time.
Now the old landmark stands in
Dickinson gutted ignominiously by
fire and will probably be dismantlec
or greatly changed in rebuilding. Sc
it goes the old must make way for the
young and the new.

course the school levy for the various
districts may raise or lower the total

Those who are to have charge of
the county affairs in Billings for the
ensuing two years are:
AUDITOR. A. Beery.
Treasurer-Jonn F. Tester.
Sheriff.. V. Porter.
Clerk of Court-Paul Lebo.

It will be remembered that Golden
Valley was carved out of the western
portion of Billings, taking most
of the territory west Of tn. Little
Missouri, two years ago. The final
settlement. between Golden Valley
and the parent county was effected
but few days ago, when it was
found that the new county was in
debted to Billings for some over
$1,000.
Under the law auditors do not take
office until the first Monday in April
and treasurers the first Monday in
May.
j. A. Beery, auditor-elect, has been
serving as deputy in the auditors Of
flee for about four years. He was
originally from Indiana, where he
was raised on a farm. He taught
school for a time and then attended
college. Mr.. Beery was deputy in
the Decator postoffice for six years,
during which time he had a business
experience that is proving very use
full to him in these later years. He
was located at Mott with his three
brothers for time before going to
Medora. The father and two broth
ers are still residents of Indiana and
a sister lives at Mott. When Mr..
Beery first went to Billings county he
was given a salary Of $75 per month
which amount was soon raised to 500
and at the end of six months his pay
was advanced to $100 per month with
out his asking for it, which lis evil
dence that he has been handling the
work in fine shape.
