BILL KING W|THDRAWS
HAS BUSINESS WEST

Readers of the Press will be inter-
ested in the following article from the
Belfield Times regarding w. E..
King, one of the Oldest and most re-
spected citizens of Stark county:
1t is with regret we announce the
withdrawal of William King from the
sherif's race for the republican nomi-
nation as a result of business inter-
ests in California which may need
his personal attention. William King
has been a resident of this locality
for some thirty-four years and has
always been more or less identified
with the sherif's s office, holding the
appointment of deputy for many
years. During those years it was
when this country was on the frontier
the days when the cowboys and
the "six-shooter" bespoke the law of
the land. It took courage and in
trepidity to wear the star then, but
during that time long before Bel
field was Incorporated as village
Mr.. King policed this community and
when the time came that, our people
wanted something a little more mod
ern, William King was one Of the
first to bare his breast to the lawless
bullet and call the "bad mans" bluff.
Those days are past and gone, but
the old settlers still remember, and
it s.these "reminiscences that so
stirred the citizens of Belfeld and
farmers Of the Golden Circle to the
support Of Mr.. Kings candidacy. It's
an old saying: 8 Business before poll
tics, and, much as we regret his
withdrawal, Mr.. King is only taking
q wise mans course ais. we UNDER
stand his western interests arc Of
goodly proportions. .4sss I.

Man FROM iowa BUYS

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Thurston of
Center were in Dickinson on Monday.
They had been to Fryburg and were
on their way home, going via New
Salem and Youngstown.
Mr.. Thurston is publisher Of the
Oliver County Republican and also
owned the Pioneer at Fryburg un-
til the past week when he sold to
Mr.. Nye, who comes out from Iowa.
Possession was given on the 18th,
s. Fred S. Shipman had the Fryburg
Pioneer leased the; past year and at
one time expected to buy the paper.
He was also figuring on buying. the
Medora Herald and operating both
newspapers in Billings county. How
ever, the Herald passed to other
hands and Editor Shipman gave up
the idea Of owning papers in this
territory. He was out in Slope
county q short time ago looking over
the country, but SO far as known no
definite plans have been made. Here
is wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Shipman
good luck wherever they go. 3. =. s'f't 81 ii Il

CHARLES. POST ON TRIAL. Ri ......
CASE FROM MERCER Co,

Charles Post, charged with a
statutory crime, was brought to
Dickinson early in the week from
Stanton by the Mercer county au-
thorities for trial. Katherine, the Is
year old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Fischer of near Beulah, swore
to the complaint last December:
The Mercer county officers had
long chase for Post last winter: After
his crime at the hotel in Zap, he was
about to leave with the girl at
Beulah, the next town east, but find
ing that the officers were near ne
suddenly changed his plans. The
girl had been given SIS and told to
buy two tickets and go into the pas
senger coach and wait. This she did.
The officer did not know Post and it
was an easy matter for him to slide
out on the opposite side of the train:
He was soon located at the parental
home in Olean, N. Y, and brought
back the first Of the present year. At
Stanton the prisoner slipped away
from the deputy sheriff and started
south to reach the main line of the
Northern Pacific. He slept in straw
stacks and managed to get as far as
youngstown before the authorities
could re-capture him.
Charles Post is "a years of age and
employed John F. Sullivan of Man
dan as his attorney.
Sheriff VIM. Haevisher and deputy,
Julian Kucklow, brought the prisoner
to Dickinson, the case having been
transferred to Stark from Mercer a
few months ago. Mrs. Maude Lucy
Of Zap, the land lady, came as a wit
ness; also the father, John Fischer.
The father does not give one the i'm
preston Of having much concern
about his daughters case.
One peculiar feature of the case is
the fact the authorities landed in
Dickinson while Judge Crawford was
in Manning on Monday. No notice
had been given but special jury was
summoned for Thursday morning,
both sides having agreed to the ar
rangement. At noon on Thursday the
jury was secured and the taking OF
testimony was commenced after din
ner. It was thought that the trial
would be finished easily on Friday.

A FAREWELL DINNER FOR
Mr., AND MRS, HASNN

Last week the Monday Club at
Mandan gaze a farewell dinner at
the home of Banker and Mrs. Joseph
P. Hess for Conductor and Mrs. J. c..
Haskin, who, according to the papers
there, are soon to leav c for Spo-
kane, Washington. At Dickinson,
however, it is understood that Mrs.
Haskin is soon to come to this city
to spend some time with her moth
er, Mrs. Lucy Dobson, and other rela-
tives, during which time they will
decide upon their future home. The
Haskins sold their home at Mandan
a year or so ago, and have been con-
sidering the advisabiity of going
west for some time. Mr.. Haskin has
extensive mine interests in Washing
ton and other places on the Pacific
coast.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. J. C.. Haskin
were among the earliest residents of
Dickinson, moving to Mandan when
Mr.. Haskin was advanced to pas
senger conductor. His family lived in
the house on the corner just east
of the court house, known now as the
Belden property, for long time.
Conductor Haskin still holds his
regular run between Mandan and
Glendive and it would indeed seem
strange to many of our people not to
see his familiar face now and then
when travelling on the road. If he
is going to give up railroading, the
old friends at Dickinson would be
very glad to have the family return
to this city, where Mrs. Haskin has
mother and two brothers.

HAD" GOOD RAIN '.

This section had a good rain last
Saturday and Sunday, a little over
half an inch falling. It. was cloudy
and cool for several days and the
moisture all settled into the ground.
This rain naturally cut the wheat
acreage down, as only about rs per
cent Of the grain had been; sown
when the rain started. Some OF
the land that was intended for wheat
will now be sown to flax.
I The ground is in splendid condition
for crops and the farmers in general
are feeling good over the prospects.
AZ little damage resulted from the
high winds on the 9th and 10th and
a few fields have been reseeded.
