EIGHTY PER CENT OF
RAILROAD STATIONS
MAY BE REMODELED

Eighty per cent of North Dakota's s
railroad stations must be rebuilt if
Representative Petterson's house bill
No. 43 becomes a law.
This measure requires that every
railroad station in towns of not less
than 400 must be provided with separ-
ate and distinct waiting rooms for
men and women.
Not only would this require recon-
struction or rebuilding in practically
all Of the smaller towns in the state,
but it would necessitate alteration on
the part Of railroad companies main
tanning passenger stations in Grand
Forks, Fargo, jamestown, Valley City
and other Of the larger cities.

WANT LIMIT PLACED
ON AMOUNT OF NORTH
I DAKOTA BOND issue

The "steam roller" hit the Stark
county representatives in the state
legislature with a vengeance on Mon
day and Tuesday last, when they, to-
gether with several other minority
members, advocated the placing of a
limit on the amount of bonds that the
state can issue or guarantee, as pro-
vided by Section 173 IN House Bill
No. AZ, to revise the constitution.
Representatives Turner, Blanchard
and Mackoff,, together with several
others, asked again and again that an
amendment be made to this section,
limiting the amount for which the
state can bond to one, three, five or
ten millions. This plan was met with
rebuff, however, upon every occasion
by the Nonpartisan League members
who insisted that "the sky should be
the limit"
!. GAS the section now stands" said
Representative Blanchard, ''the sky's
SAtst. lasInit. T believe it is our. duty to
generations to come to limit the
activities Of the present administra-
ton and those to come, rather than to
give them free hand to plunge our
state into a mass of Indebtedness
which never can be overcome"
Representative Mackoff also made
an eloquent appeal to the house
members that they eliminate possible
danger by placing a limit upon the
amount of bonds that the legislature
can issue-ten millions of dollars, at
least. He stated that no one could
tell what might happen at future ses-
sions, and it was not more than fair
that the people be safeguarded at
least to the extent OF stipulating a
limit in the constitution.

PREPARE FOR Home
COMING OF GUARDS

AS the exact date when Company K
will be mustered out of service at
Fort Smelling, Minnesota is not known,
it behooves the people of Dickinson
who wish to show their appreciation
of "our boys" upon their Homecoming,
by decorating their homes, stores and
public buildings and thoroughfares, to
be ready for this work upon very
short notice. Company K may re-
main at the Minnesota fort for two
or three weeks, and again they may
remain only for few days. The sup
ply of flags, bunting and other decora-
tons should be available for immedi-
ate use as soon as telegraphic word
of the muster out lis received. Il,

A clearing house for Dickinson
would result in many conveniences
for the banks, and in addition would
act as reliable barometer of the
business transacted in this city.
Now each bank in the city goes
through the slow process each day, OF
sending a representative to each Of
the other banks in turn to clear the
checks Of the banks during the day.
The clearing house system would do
away with this, as a central office
would be maintained where the checks
of all Of the different banks could be
sent, a balance arrived at and pay
ment made of any balances without
the necessity of going to each one in
turn, and then back again. The usual
rule is that each bank maintains the
clearing house in it's turn, for periods
of about six months each.
Dickinson is rapidly taking its
place among the metropolitan cities
of the state, and the above move is
but another step in that direction.

The attention of Deputy Sheriff o. E. Patterson who happened to be in the store at the time. was attracted when the Mexican purchased a pair of shoes entirely too large for himself.

 Garcia. if that is his real name, according to local officers, Is one of the most desperate men that has ever been placed In the Douglas jail He is a former Sonora outlaw. and since taking up his residence on this side of the line, about a year age when things got pretty warm for him in Sonora he has continued his lawiessness.
 He was the leader of the band Of Mexican bootleggers who sbout six weeks ago attempted to assaesinate Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler when the latter. with . deputy, was lying in wait for them near Courtland.
 Garcia admits being in the gang. but officers say he wac the les5er. and the one who first fired at Wheeler. He has unusually large feet. wearing about . 12 shoe, and his tracks were plainly visible. Of ficers were on the lookout for him at that time. but sinee tAen have been more than ever anxious to get

Garcia was brought to Tombstone this afternoon by Deputy Sheriff A. A. Hopkins and Deputy United States Marshal James Mcdonald. and was placed in the county jail. When the officers arrived at the sherin's office with the prisoner. Sheriff Wheeler confronted the man. who Is a giant in stature and whose shoul- ders tower above the sheriff several feet. "why did you shoot at us that night7" asked the sheriff. To which Garcia replied that he did not shoot shot. but 1t was the oth- CT members of the party that did the shooting. "why did you run with the rest of them. then?" queried Mfr. Wheeler Because I was scared" said Garcia Sheriff Wheeler then asked him regarding many of the details of the gun fight between himsen ana Gi1.o. ::a the Mexi. cans. which Garcia answered. One question asked by Sheriff Wheeler was why the shooting stopped so suddenly and Garcia replied that he was lying down with one of the Mexi cans. who was shooting at Wheeler and that the return fire from the sherif's gun had gotten too close and he persuaded the other man tc
 stop firing. He said the entire
 party, four of them were drunk, and
 having had been robbed several days
 before of a load of whiskey thought
 they were going to be robbed again
 and as soon as he found out that | ] was the sherifY, that he ordered thu
 men not to shoot. but they woul( not listen to him. When the sheriff
 and Deputy Gibson charged he sait the Mexicans were some distanc' away and made for the hills to es cape. he. said. He said none O them were hit by the bullets. bu some of them came awful close-to, [ close to suit them and they left. ieav ing their whiskey and pack outfit behind. fearing they would be eithe
 killed or captured
 The Mexican steadfastly claim,
 he did no shooting. and tried to keei
 the others from doing SO. and sav, ] the names of the balance of tk.
