Alleged Cattle Rustlers
"Jump" Their Bond.
Joe Burdick and Pearle Hicks E.esps
And are said to be in can.d.-
Another Rustler Gone

States Attorney Edw. S. john
son last week received orders from
Attorney General Langer to re-
arrest all the alleged cattle rustlers
in Sioux county and order their
bonds fixed at $1,000 as provided
for in bill which was passed BY
the last legislature.
Deputy Sheriff Jake Jordan in
serving the papers on Walter Bur-
dick, Pearle Hicks and Joe Bur.
dick, learned that the latter two
had left their bondsmen in the
lurch and escaped to Canada.
Walter Burdick was brought before
Justice Mcdonald at Solen and his
bond reset at the legal amount, and
was afterwards secured.
The Burdicks and Pearlc Hicks
were arrested some time ago by the
Sheriff on h charge of driving cat
tic Oft the reservation range and
butchering same.
1t is also understood that H. T..
Keller arrested some time ago to-
gether with his cousins Jack and
Ben Guyer for alleged cattle rustl-
ing and who was also out on bonds,
has left the country.
Hon. John NJ. Carignan, who
was a member Of the last legislature
introduced the bill which provided
that the bonds of alleged cattle and
horse rustlers should be- fixed at
$1,000. Mr.. Carignan's 80 years
experience in cattle country had
taught him that whenever the state
had a strong case against men of
this class and their bonds fixed in
small amounts they would invaribly
leave the country.

In the death of DR.. Robert H,
Treacy, has passed away one Of the
pioneers of North Dakota. In the
upbuilding and development of the
state he took an important part,
and his name will be inseperable
connected with the history of Sioux
county. He was president Of the
Western Townsite & Development
Company, owners Of the townsites
Of Fort Yates, Solen and Cannon
ball. He was also for a time presi-
dent of the First National Bank Of
Fort Yates, now the First State
Bank. This was the first bank in
the county.
In addition to his financial in
terests DR.. Treacy took an active
part in the campaign for the Or
ganization Of Sioux county, and
through his influence largely, did
Governor Hanna issue the procla-
nation which established Sioux
county and gave a local and stable
government to the reservation
country. He was largely influenced
in this matter by the need Of schools
and state rights for the settlers.
DR.. Treacy was a man of pleas
ing personality and many good
qualities: He was, both as repre-
sentative Of the people in the lesis-
latiYe halls Of his state, and as the
head Of a large federal government
bureau, the friend of the common
people with whom he always assoc
lated. His memory will be cherish
ed most by those who knew him
best:
