CITIZENS PLANNING
TO MAKE CLEANUP
WEEK Big SUCCESS

Mayor Alfred White makes no
claim that he is a fashion expert. He
admits unblushingly that Lady Duff
Gordon has him beaten several ways
when it comes to debating what the
debutante, the society bud, shall wear
on this occasion or that. He further
asserts, it is rumored, that he might
not be able to tell a box pleat or a
ruffle from a cheese sandwich except.
by the taste and that he does not
know %georgette crepe from reinforced
concrete. But one style he does
know-and that is the kind of dress
that a thriving municipality like Dick.
inson should wear in the springtime.
Miss Dickinson's costume this
spring, he declares, should be a lawn
gown of green grass, trimmed freely
with trees and shrubs and edged with
flowers, a neat belt of slightly fence
urged to paint her face, which, of
course, no lady really does, and must
wear no ornaments of rubbish piles,
ash heaps or weeds. And the party
for which this new garb is to be
donned will start next Monday, April
80, and will continue through the
week.
For next week has been designated
as Cleanup Week by Mayor White,
and already Dickinson residents are
making great preparations to make it
a real cleanup occasion, in fact as
we'll as in name Householders are al
ready hustling about feverishly, max
ing tremendous drives on the noun
tains Of rubbish which have accumu-
lated during the long winter, clean
Ling yards, repairing and painting
fences, planting trees, shrubs and
vegetables, and doing the thousand
and one things which herald the COM
ing of the merry springtime.
All about the city are indications
that the citizens are entering en-
Enthusiastically into the spirit Of
Cleanup Week, and by next Saturday
night all the unsightly reminders of
winter will have vanished and a clean
attractive city will greet the visitor
within our gates.

LENNEVILLE PLANS
LARGE ADDITION TO
THRIVING NURSERY

William H. L%enneville, assistant
postmaster, is a busy individual, but
he finds time, when not occupied with
Uncle Sans duties, to conduct a
thriving nursery, which is constantly
being extended in size and variety.
Mr.. L%enneville's tree plantation is To-
Gated Immediately north and east of
his residence in the northern portion
of the city, and he now has several
thousand trees in thriving condition,
and is making preparations to plant
increased acreage within the next
month.
Majority of the trees are of one
year growth, though Mr.. Lenneville
has a number which have been planted
for two years or more. Three thous-
and pines, Norway, jack and bull
varieties, are situated at the north
end of the plat, and are growing
vigorously. A windbreak of willows
protects them from north and west
winds, and south of the pine forest"
are cottonwood, ash and elm trees in
a more advanced state of growth.
A tract of ground of 2R acres is
being placed in readiness for planting
a consignment of 1000 trees, which
Mr.. Lenneville plans to set out at
once. Included in this lot will be jack
and lodgepole pines, spruce, cotton
wood and boxelder trees. Around the
new plantation a hedge of lilac and
another of Russian olive will be
placed, and when these varieties at
tain their growth the nursery will be
one of the beauty spots of the city.
A number of juniper, or Bad Land
seeder, trees and Siberian pea trees
are also being propagated by Mr.;
Lenneville, and have attained good
size. Trees will be planted all along
the boulevard, and the nursery and its
surroundings will. be an addition to
the city beautiful of which Dickinson
may we'll be proud in years to come.

The Tribune gives an account of
"Terry's Thief" which brings things
to mind of 81 years ago this month
MI. Roosevelt wrote an account Of this
for the Century Magazine, where il
,can be found on page 80, May number,
1888. I think this is the story which
Mr. Roosevelt once told the writer,
twas written to be read"
In April, 1886, three men named
.Finnigan, Peqenbach and Burnstao
were loafing around the saloons OF
Medora. The latter two were simple
minded, and Peqenback was an old
German more than SO years Of age,
and what we would call an imbecile.
One Sunday evening when walking
near the Cow Boy print shop we saw
.Finnigan, who was under the influence
of fred eye," with a rifle in hand,
shooting into the print shop. William

ALLEGED CAR Thief
TAKEN IN FAR WEST

Clifford Lowell, alleged box car
robber, was placed under arrest
Wednesday at North Yakima, WASH,
by Sheriff Murphy of Yakima county,
through efforts of States Attorney H.
A. Burgeson and Sheriff T. N. Har-
tung of Stark county. Lowell re-
fused to return here for trial, and ex-
tradition papers were procured from
Governor Frazier, and Sheriff Har-
tung has left for the west to bring
the prisoner here.
Lowell is thought to be the head of
the band of a robbers which operat-
ed here during the winter. George
Baker, charged with pilfering mer-
chandise from the cars, was this
week sentenced to thirty days in jail
and fined $100, and he implicated

Senour e. Langley
Everything in Hardware q Farm Machinery
Dickinson, N. D..

Coleman, the father-in-law of Johnny
Goodall, who Lived near by, came out
Of his house and called to Finnigan
to stop firing. Finnigan replied:
IF you dare to come near, I will
shoot you," but Coleman did not stop,
and as Finnigan was very drunk we
really expected that he might take a
shot at Coleman. But the latter went
up to Finnigan and forcibly took the
rife-and gave several kicks under
Finnigan's coat tail.
After this the sheriff appeared, ar
rested Finnigan, and there being no
jail, locked him in a freight car.
During the night Finnigan removed
an end door, and left town in company
with the two men mentioned. Going
down the river until they came to
the Roosevelt ranch, they took the
boat for a trip farther down. Roose-
welt, accompanied by Sewcll and Dow,
ranch hands, followed and made the
arrest and took the parties to Dickin-
son. Peqenbach, we think, was not
tried. Perhaps his condition of i'm
becility was in his favor. The others
were tried and sent to the p~eniten-
tiary,. where after a year or so, Fin
nigan was released, the other .becom-
ling insane. ~.
MI. Roosevelt did not know western
life then as he does today, for we
feel satisfied were such a. thing to
happen now he. would give each a few
strokes with his pony whip and let
them go. We all change with the
times.-James w. Foley.
