Walter Smith Arrested
For Assault On Swift
Selfr;dge Scene of Another Assault
this Week.-Trial Before Justice
Ostrum Here on Saturday

Walter Smith of Selfridge, was
arrested Monday by Sheriff Gayton
on the complaint of Martin Swift,
whom he is alleged to have. assaulted,
with spade. Smith was arraigncd-
before Justice Ostrutn at Fort Yates
on an assault and battery charge,
and the hearing was continued un-,
til Saturday. ~
The accused is the oldest son of
H. F. Smith of Selfridge, and NOV
ed there recently with his wife from
Minnesota. The alteration took
place at Selfridge Monday forenoon,
during an, argument between the
elder Smith and Mr.. Swift. Smith
and son were at work excavating
basement for the new bank build
ing there, when Swift appeared on
the scene. and told II. +. Smith
that the next time he wanted to get
in his (Swift'O pasture to go
through the front gate. Words fol-
lowed during which Walter Smith
got out Of the basement and struck
Swift on the side of the head with.
a spade.
Outside Of the blow raising a big
swelling, Swift was not seriously in
jured, but had the blow been de-
livered little closer to the temple
the chances are that Walter Smith
would be facing a murder charge in i
stead of simple assault.

Sioux County Requires
Suitable Court House
County Commissioners Must Take Ac-
lion 70 Secure Room for Officers
And Safeguard Co. Records

One of the important matters that
! will come before the board of count!
commissioners at their meeting ir
January is the problem of providing
additional room for the county Of
ficers and adequate protection o.
the records of Sioux county.
The building now used as a tenn
porary court house is too small tc
accommodate oil the county officers.
At the present time the sheriff,
county Judge and superintendent Of
schools have no office at the county
seat, but as they have announced
their intention of moving here after
the first of the year additional room
must be provided.
At present the records are being
kept in safe cabinets. The capacity
Of the cabinets is very limited and
has been reached. There is hardly
room to install any more Of these
cabinets, which are not only expen-
sive, but alao exposes the county
records to damaee in case OF fire.
While the cabinets are supposed to
be 6re-proof, yet no positive guar
antee is given that they will with
stand a severe fire test.
It has been suggested that the
commissioners issue bonds to build
q court house and Jail. 1t has been
estimated that building equipped
with ample vault room for the safe
keeping Of the county records and
individual. office rooms for the diff
ferent county officers could be COM
pleted at a cost Of between $4,000
and $50, 600.
The county is now paying $3.50
per year for the present inadequate
quarters. Money for building a
new court house can be borrowed
from the state at 4 per cent, and
the $500 now being paid out for
rent would pay the interest on $7,-
500. 90 annually.
It is a. matter that the county
commissioners should give serious
consideration.

A Costly Thanksgiving
Fire For Sam Gayton
Back Fire Set by Sam c.y.on Caused
Heavy Loss to Frank Parson.-Two
Horses Smothered in Fire

Frank Parson, homesteadel
living northeast of Selfridge, lost :
valuable team of horses and stack
of hay and straw in a prarie fir
Thanksgiving day..
A fire started during the day
west of Selfridge, and was driven
rapidly east by the wind. When it
looked as though his feed and build
ings were in danger Sam Clayton, a
neighbor Of Parson, started to back
fire. The fire soon got beyond con-
troll and spread to Parsons place
and q strawstack in which the hor-
ses were feeding caught fire.
The animals were enveloped in a
cloud of smoke and flames in a few
minutes, and although loose made
no effor: to escape and burned to
death. The loss is a heavy one to
Parson, and Mr.. Gayton also feels
very bad knowing that he was in
directly the cause of the loss.
Sam Clayton was Fort Yates vis-
itor Tuesday and stated that as he
felt he was in q measure responsible
for the loss caused by the FIRE, all
though his act was governed by the
best of intentions, he had decided to
reimburse Mr.. Parson in full.
So far as the Pioneer can learn
this is the first case on record where
horses has perished in a prairie fire
where they had every chance to get
away.

II Appreciation Week
Second Annual North Dakota Appre.
ciation Week January 21-28, 1917.
Advertise State Resources

January 21st to 28th, 1917, ha.
been set apart by the committee il
charge as Appreciation Week. The
first observance of an Appreciation
\ Week was in the fall Of 1915, the
work being carried on under the
auspices Of the North Dakota Press
Association and the North Dakota
Development League Press Bureau.
Everywhere the results were ex-
ccllent, and SO great was the satis-
faction with the first effort that at
the Grand Forks meeting in jan
uary, 1916, the Association decided
to make this week an annual affair.
The committee in charge went over
the ground during the early autumn
|snonths, and for q number of reasons
among which was that election
work would interfere with the prop
er observation of Appreciation Week
in the early fall. and that the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holi-
days would interfere with its obser-
vance later on, it was decided to
postpone the celebration until the
early part Of the coming year. At
this time it seems likely that this
practice will be followed in the fu-
ture.
The purpose of Appreciation week
is to advertise the state Of North
Dakota beyond its own borders, and
to stimulate among its own peoples
feeling Of thorough appreciation Of
it's value as state in which to live
and to engage in all the proper ac-
tivities Of life. The matter Of out
side advertising is important, but
the development of proper spirit
among our own people is vastly.
more important. The Pioneer will
join in this work, and at this time
it asks the cooperation of all its
readers to the, end that we Of this
locality may do our part in setting
forth the advantages Of our, state,
and may aid in the work Of develop
ing its possibilities.
The Pioneer expects to get out
Especial edition for Appreciation
Week which will T.. be. devoted to q.
series Of descriptive and illustrated
articles onythe development and fu-
ture possibilities Of Sioux county.

ment on the reservation since May
1915.
+ This is one of the provisions of
the bill under which the surplus
unallotted lands were opened. But

DUBLIN is PROSPEROUS
IN SPITE OF REVOLT

Dublin, Ireland, Dec. 5.-The Dub
lin correspondent of the Associated
Press has interviewed the Right Hon
James Gallagher, Lord Mayor of Dub
lin, in reference to the statements
which have been made regarding a
supposed exceptional state of distress
in the city due to the April rebellion
and it's suppression.
The lord mayor said: eve are abso
lutely better off this year than last
year, Notwithstanding the rebellion
There is, as far as l can see, no eX-
ceptional distress at all. There is,
on the contrary, good deal of money
coming into the citf for separation
allowances for the dependents of the
men, most of them of the working
classes who joined the army. Infor
nation obtained from various traders
in the city enable me to say that trade
is as good if not better than it was
twelve months ago. Moreover, EN-
ployment has been added to owing
to the amount of munition work done
in the city. We have five or six fac
tories each employing from one hun
dred to six hundred hands. Women are
earning very good wages and Dublin
women have proved very adaptable in
shell making. The result is that the
government is able to turn out shells
in Dublin and in Ireland generally
cheaper than it can do it in England.
"The effect of the rebellion" said
the lord mayor, twas temporary. A
certain number of people were thrown
out of employment by the destruction
of the premises in which they worked,
but that temporary need was prompt
ly met. | got up fund which
amounted to five or six thousand
pounds, and the local committee which
had been working for the Prince of
Wales fund in relief of war distress
gave me permission to spend from
their resources something like 1000
pounds in addition. We had the ad-
vantage in distributing these funds to
the necessitious of all the machinery
used by the local relief committee The
need was only tmporary; most of the
people who were not employed at that
time have got employment either
from thir old or new employment.
Some went to England and secured
employment in the munition factories.
"The authorities of the st. Vincent
de Paul Society, who have closer
touch with the poor in the city of
Dublin than any other organization,
Tell me that the number of cases on
their books in the city is exactly the
same today as it was at the begin
ming of October last year"
