FATHER TIME PICKS OFF
OLD INDIAN FIGHTER

Mandan, Jan. 2.-Daniel Connolly,
aged u, years, pioneer settler of west
ern North Dakota, civil war veteran
and Indian fighter, died this morning
of pneumonia. He had failed greatly
in the past year, and two months ago
was taken to the hospital suffering
from a complication of diseases. Pneu-
monia set in and in his weakened con.
dition he could not Withstand the dis
ease.
Dan Connolly was without question
one of the best known settlers of the
slope counties.
He was born April 10, 1874, in New
York state. When the civil war broke
out he enlisted when at the age of Is.
and served with the northern army in
many OF the notable engagements:
He was later with the famous
Hatch battalion which came west in
the early sixties to subdue the hostile
Indians. This battalion chased the
renegade Sioux into Montana.
In 1882 Connolly came to Mandan to
make his home. He remained here but
a short time and then went up into
Oliver county and took up home
stead near what is now the TOWNSHIP
of Hensler. He acquired more and
more land, and entered into the ranch
ing and farming business on an ex-
tensive scale. He has since made his
home at that place.
Six daughters and one son survive.
They are Mrs VIM. Greenshields, Mrs.
VIM. Smith, Mrs. Denison, all of DIV
er county, and Miss Josephine, Nellie
and Veronica, who reside at the old
homestead. One son, Daniel D., also
lived with his father.
Daniel Connolly was one of the men
who made this section of the great
west habitable for the modern day
farmers and citizens. AS an Indian
fighter he had experiences which come
to the lot of but few men; as a pio-
neer and settler he early evinced his
belief in the future of this great state.
His death is greatly regretted by a
great circle Of friends.

MIL Employees
to Work Part
Time johnson
USSELL-MiLLER MEN RESTORED
TO JOBS THREE DAYS
EACH WEEK
IDLE THREE WEEKS

Approximately IS employees of the
Russell-Miller mills in Valley City,
who were laid off two weeks before
Christmas because shortage of freight
cars made it impossible to ship flour
beyond Minneapolis, were given des-
ultory work about the properties, be-
ginning Jan. /, that they might not be
in want.
Manager Johnson said Wednesday
the plan would be in effect until April,
at least. By that time the car short
age should have diminished. The men
will be given work three days week.
This is not what we would like to
do for our men," Johnson explained.
But it divides the burden. Our men
are all steady fellows of them
married-who have lived in Valley
City for years. They have stood by us
and we don't intend to put any hard
ships on them that can be helped.
I'm the larger cities nothing is
thought of laying off shifts of men
once the mill wheels cease turning,
but our forced layoff in December was
one of the first, believe, in the state.
1.-THE men are now doing what re-
pair work and cleanup work is needed.
1t offers an opportunity to keep up
the efficiency of the plant"

Save by Keeping Good Roads Good.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, July 23.--The main
tenance of roads is subject that may
appear to be overworked, but in spite
of all that has been said and written,
we do not yet appreciate the value of
a properly organized system of road
maintenance. The spirit of the times
is to prevent evils, whether in the
political, social or economic fields,
rather than to allow them to develop
and then attempt a cure, and in no
field of endeavor can it be more ef-
fective than in road maintenance.
There are, at the present time in
Missouri, hundreds of miles of road,
built at cost of from four to twelve
thousand dollars mile, upon which
not a single dollar has been expended
for maintenance. The result is that
these roads are now practically ruin
ed, and the original cost must again
be expended for complete reconstruc.
ton. How much better to have dis
bursed small amount year by year
In judicious maintenance to keep the
road surface practically intact! That
this can be done has been proved
again again and again.
Farmers paint farm buildings to in
crease their length Of life; they keep
their fences In repair to insure SER
vice; they house costly machinery to
prevent deterioration and decay.
Similar measures must be taken to
safeguard the dollars they pour into
road construction.---E. J. McCaust-
land, Dean Of Missouri University
Engineering Faculty.

Judge Bradley Receives Commission
iDunklin County NeWs.i

tDunklin County News.l
On Thursday morning, July 18th,
the motion of Judge Argus Cox for a
new hearing in the contest against
the Missouri supreme court overruled
Judge John II. Bradley for seat on
the bench of the Springfield Court of
Appeals, and issued commission to
Bradley, which he received Friday,
July l3. The same day Judge Brad
ley went before Circuit Clerk j. W.

tered of record, and the court pro-
ceeded to reoganize, electing Judge
John T. Sturgis, Benton county, pre-.
siding Judge.
Judge Cox, during the time he oc.
cupied the bench, acted as presiding
Judge. This court, since its creation,
has had rule by which the short
term judge presided, but Cox took
advantage Of an old statute which pro-
vides that the Judge having the oldest
license to practice law may preside,
and not withstanding the rule in
force, Cox invoked the force of this
old statute and assumed the position
of presiding Judge.
The present court is composed Of
three members: Judge John 4. Stur-
gis, of Neosho, Judge Johns. Earring.
ton of Springfield, and Judge John H.
Bradley, Of Kennett.
MISS Grace West was appointed
stenographer for Judge Bradley at q
salary Of sl25 per month.
Judge Bradley will move his family
to Springfield In time for his children
to enter school In September, but
will continue to maintain his legal
residence in Kennett.
There is q call term OF the court
which will convene September 10th.
Judge Bradley will draw the salary
of the office which amounts to about
$500 per month, from January 1st,
1917, the time he would have taken
his seat had it not been for the con-
