CHAPTER VIII.
On Runner Service.

One night q man named Rartel and
were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to 60 to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom I will call the burgomaster and
report to the branch staff headquar-
ters that had been secretly located in
another part Of town. We were to
travel in an automobile and keep a
sharp watch as we went, for Dixmude
was being contested hotly at that time
and German patrols were In the neigh
borhood. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
So we started out from the third
line trenches, but very shortly one Of
our outposts stopped us. Bartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too. so 1t was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They were
convinced after bit Of arguing. Just
as we were leaving q message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold US when we came.
1t was lucky they stopped us, for 9TH
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me, over the tele-
phone. that II French flag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; If q
Belgian. that our forces were either
In control or were about to take over
the place but that Germans patrols
were near. After this we started
again.
When we had pc cssed the last post
we kept sharp lookout for the flag
on the pole Of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings
and perhaps, If 1t should be a German
flag, a timely warning. But after we
were down the road a bit and had got
clear we saw Belgian flag whipping
around In q good, strong breeze But
while that showed that our troops or
the British were about to take over
the place 1t also indicated that the
Germans were somewhere near by.
Which was not so cheerful.
AS we went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge Of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
just as quickly but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold Of
man who came out from little
csfe.
He told us that the Germans had
been through the town and had shot
II up considerably, Killing and wound
ing few inhabitants, but that shortly
afterward small force of Belgian
cavalry had arrived and driven the
Boches out. The Germans were ex-
pected either to return or begin bonn
bardment at any moment and all the
inhabitants who sported cellars were
hiding in them. The rest were trying
to get out Of town with their belong
ings as best they could.
On reaching our objective we made
straight for the Hotel de Vile. where
we were admitted and after short
wait taken to the burgomaster. We
questioned him as to news. for we had
been instructed to pick up any infor-
nation he might have as to conditions.
But we did not get much, for he could
not get about because Of the Germans.
who had made II policy to terrorize
the people Of the town.
We had just got into the car and
were about to start when the burgo-

County Seat Removal
Question Goes To Vote
No Reasonable Arsamsnt 10 Being Ad.
vancsd In Favor Of Removing coun.
q Seat from Fort Yates

The selfridge county seat reno.
val committee is out with a circular
letter in which they say that the
only argument they are advancing
is the location of Selfridge. That
is not much Of an argument az Self
ridge is as inaccessible to thirds
OF the people Of the county as Fort
Yates is to one-third of the popuia-
ton.
Also in these days Of auto
mobile conveyance and daily stage
accommodation Fort Yates is about
as accessible as any point that can
be selected for county seat. Be.
sides Selfridge has no hotel accomo.
dations and could not take care of
any crowd that might be called to
attend court or other matters. In
fact, it is not so long ago that there
was no place where a wayfarer could
get a decent meal or a place to
! sleep. The location of the county
seat is matter Of little importance
to the average taxpayer as he can
transact all his business BY mail.
So long as Fort Yates is Agency
headquarters for the reservation, 80
long will Fort Yates be the leading
town in the county. Nearly every
farmer has more or less business at
the agency, and at the same time
he can look after matters at the
court house, if he so desires, il
the county seat remains at Fort
Yates:

ture to the treaty had its wa.. The
Indians at Fort Bennett were dis
posed to drive the commissioners
from the reservation, but they were
overawed ly the threat that il they
used violence the troops from Forts
Bennett and Sully would be sum-
moned.
The chiefs at Fort Bennett, after
many threats, finally signed the
treaty, and many years after I went
among the Indians and found that
the same subterfuge had been used
at all the agencies. Indeed, as late
as 1889 the Indians often asked me
when the government would be
