The following account of the horri-

k case will come first.
The following is the News & OBJ
server account of August 5th:
"Hotly pursued by more than
a score of Sandhill citizens bent
on lynching his three prisoners
charged with criminal assault on
a white woman, and perhaps IA
tally shooting her husband as he
lay asleep just outside Southern
Pines early Friday morning,
Sheriff D. A. Blue, of Moore
county swung through the gates
of the State Prison at Raleigh
shortly afternoon and gave the
three negroes into the custody
Warden Busbee.
Not twenty minutes behind the
Packard in which Sheriff Blue
had covered the 72 miles be-
tween Southern Pines and Raj
.eigh in considerably less than
two hours, a dozen other high
powered touring cars pulled up
at the prison gates. They had
left the Sandhills behind the
sheriff and his prisoners.
Black Crime Charged.
Presence of members of the
pursuit group in the city last
night, and widespread rumors
skflat~an attempt to storm the
State Prison might be made dur
ing the night, caused Governor
Morrison to order a Machine
Gun Company and a detachment
of the Raleigh Service Company
for guard duty here. Everything
was quiet when the guardsmen
went on duty last night at 10
O'Clock, with two machine guns
covering the approaches to the
prison. Prison officials said that
the step was purely precaution-
ary.
Behind the race between the
sheriff and the enraged Sandhill
citizens lay one of the blackest
crimes in the history OF the
State. Thursday night, A. E.
Ketchen, his wife and year old
daughter, making their way
leisurely from Miami, Fla, to
their old home in Connecticut by
automobile, had pitched their
camp just outside the corporate
limits of Southern Pines.
At o'clock in the morning
MRS. Ketchen was awakened by
a shot. Her husband had been
shot through the left breast as
he lay asleep on his cot. The

What Grand Forks needs most in
my opinion says Dean V. p. Squires,
OF the state university. sis a general
and genuine revival OF religion. I do
not mean by! this an insistance on de-
nominationalism. OF an emphasis on
creeds or doglnas. Such an emphasis
or insistance frequently results In feel
ings and actions which are subversive
Of true religion. True religion was
defined long ago. by the prophet Micah
as doing justly, loving mercy, and
walking lluInbly with God. That -
Just what we all need to do in Grand
Forks.
This would mean careful observ-
ance of the law on the part Of the
citizens and careful enforcement of it
on the part of officers. 1t would mean
more faithful oversight of children by
parents and greater respect for par
ents on the part of children. 1t would
mean orderly streets, clean lives, hon
est industry, and fair and square deal
ing On the part of all. It would also
mean good will and cooperation
among neighbors. a common enthusi-
asm for all good things. a common
opposition to all the forces which tend
to drag down youth or shrivel life in
any way.
ut would mean that Grand Forks
would be q cleaner city a happier city.

A railroad from St. Paul to.Duluth,

in 1869. The track between Thompson

in operating the Northern Pacific,

During the year fifty miles of the road
was constructed and on December 1.
1871, the track reached Red river
at Moorhead. Although there were
now two railroad lines by which emf
grants could reach the upper part of
the valley, still but little immigration
took place for several years. The
reasons for this lack of immigration
will be discussed in another chapter.

FOUNDING OF GRAND FORKS.

Prior to the year 1870 it may gener-
ally be said thai no settlers located
in the Red River. Valley with any very
serious intention Of remaining and
making their homes here. AS we have
seen, there were Il few settlers on the
Minnesota side of the river above
Georgetown and a few others at Nc
Ca%uleyvillc. In 1870 just a few came
to Cass county and located in the TIM
Der along NRed river. At the close
of the year the only inhabitants on
the Dakota side of Red river between
the mouth of Elm river and Pembina,
were the few at Grand Forks. and
Frank LaRose, who, was located
twelve miles south of Pembina. Those
in the valley prior to 1870 were men
connected with the fur trade, with
transportation interests, both by lane
and on the river, with mail carrying
and with the military posts.
During. the winter Capt. Griggs had
interested several persons at Hender-
son, Mimi, to come to Dakota Terri
tory and settle on the Grands Forks
townsite, and they made preparations
to depart in the spring. Goods for a
store and the machinery for Il saw
mill were shipped. The party consist
ed of Thomas Walsh, Burton Haney,
James jerks and Alexander Blair.
They proceeded by railroad to Ben
son, to which point the line then be-
ing built from Minneapolis to Breck-
enridge had recently been extended,
and from there they went on foot to
Old Closing, where they took
h stage to Mccauleyville.

had expected to SO down the river on
the. Selkirk, but the boat not being
quite ready, the party procured a fat
boat and loading their outfit into 1t
they floated it down to the Grand
Forks townsite, where they arrived
about April Is, 1871. 4
Repair Griggs' Cabin.
The first work done on the original
townsite was to put Griggs' log caplr
into habitable condition, some build
ing material having been brought
along as part of their freight. The
cabin had neither floor nor roof, and
was filled with snow. First the snow
was cleaned out and then Il oof and
