ROBBERY CASES, SECURED Fred C. Youngblood Found Guilty of Perjury and Sen- tenced for Two Years: LES SIMPSON INVOLVED Trial of Dickinson Lawyer Con- nected With Same General Issue to Come Up Later Fred C. Youngblood, Golden Valley rancher, was convicted of perjury in the federal district court here and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment at Leavenworth as a result of his tes- timony in the Northern Pacific car robbery cases in which Youngblood’s brother and an associate, employed as brakeman on the Northern Paci- tic, were, convicted a year ago. Fred C. Youngblood, with Conduct- or A. N. Boxrud, in charge of the train crew, were tried more than a year ago on charges of conspiracy. receiving stolen goods and under oth- er indictments growing out of an al- leged systematic looting of, boxcars between Dickinson and Beach. The younger Youngblood and his confed. erate were not in the state when the trial of Fred Youngblood and Boxrud came up, the former having been in- ducted into the army and sent to Camp Custer. As a result the gov- ernment was unable to substantiate its case against Boxrud and Young- blood, although the two younger men were brought back to Bismarck for the following term of court and were convicted and sentenced to Leaven- worth, where both died from flu last fall, On the strength of these trials and the evidence entered therein and al- leged facts surrounding them, Fred} C. Youngblood was indicted by the Jast-grand jury in Fargo for perjury. Indictments were also found by a federal grand jury against. Leslie A. Simpson, a Dickinson lawyer who ap- peared for the defendants; Sheriff T. N. aHrting, and Conductor A. N. Hartung, charging them with having} spirited material witnesses away from the jurisdiction: of this court. Simpson defended Youngblood in federal court this week on the per-; jury charge. Youngblood flatly de- nied the authorship. of statements contained in affidavits which he had signed dealing with the disposition ‘of Goods taken from Northern Pacific boxcars and kicked from the trains along the right-of-way, near the ‘Youngblood ranch, where Youngblood ig alleged to have picked it up. Much of the missing merchandise, it was alleged, was found in Young- blood’s home when a raid was made. It is not known when Simpson will be arraigned for his own trial. The trial of Isham Hall of _Bis-| marck, charged with having vioiated the state and federal bone dry sia-; tutes, is now on. Youngblood is in jail pending the! filing of a $5,000 bond and applica- tion for a writ of error. ‘CHICKEN FEED’ CIRCULATES IN YUKON CITIES; Douglas, Alaska, (By Mail)—“What would the old pioneers of this land of gold, say if they saw a friend coming in from a trip to the mines with a poke of dust, walking up to a bar, or- dering an ice cream soda and paying for it with four nickels and a rusty penny?” Douglas “sourdoughs” asked when news reached here that pennies would be put into circulation in Alas- ko to enable residents to pay ,the| government’s tax on so callei lux-j uries. Lowly copper pennies, which have long been curiosities:in Alasta where they were never even given the name| or dignity of “chicken feed” are slow: ly being brought into use in the north. ern terirtory, much to the disgust of} the “old timers’ Time was. the! “sourdoughs” say, when the iwenty- five cent or “two-bit” piece was tne| smallest coin used in all Alaske, At) this day in the interior of the terri-| tory dimes and nickels are selacm seen. . Always, of course. pennies have} been accepted by the post offices for stamps. “Keepers of the road houses and business places in the towns and cities would look twise at a man, how- ever, who would offer them pennies! in barter. . “Now,” says The Douglas News, “it will be imperative that the rounder who starts out on a soda water Jam- boree weighs himself down with sev- eral pockets full of copper money so he will not be embarrassed when paying for his drinks.

D., June —Northern Emmons county, as far south as Tem- vik, is having a hard tussle with the Loppers, advises H. O, Sauer, county agent. Owing to the rapidly increas- ing infestation, poison materials have not been sufficient to meet the demand. Although no complaints have come in from south of Temvik, there are mil- lions of young hoppers lurking in the pastures, hay ‘meaodws and along the edges of the fields, ready to cause trouble. According to the opinion of County Agent Sauer, it is only a mat- ter of ays, or at the most weeks, until the whole county will have more or less trouble with hoppers, [BAD STRETCH IN RED TRAIL GETS TOURISTS’ GOAT Tourists have launched a movement jthe whole length of the Red Trail for more consistent dragging. This is cn care of in good shape through Mii nesota, and from Fargo west to Tower City. There is, however, between Tow- er City and Valley City a stretch of neglected highway which is the bane of all tourists. From Valley City west to the Montana line the road is above reproach, The Red ‘Trail, tourists claim, is losing prestige and business to the Yellow trail merely because of this cne short strip of bad road, and an effort is being made to prevail upon Barnes and Cass county officials to have this section dragged. Tourists are much interested in plans for a con- crete speedway on the Red Trail from Moorhead to Minneapolis, wide enough tv accommodate fifive cars abreast, and | for which they state the foundation has already been laid.

At any rate these mines have for years figured in stories which refer to them as possessing gold worth a ransom of an Inca emperor. Years ago when Fort Fetterman was the trading post for all of north- ern Wyoming, two miners laden with gold came to the fort and declared they had struck a bonanza in the Big Horns. The miners insisted they had observed signs which indicated to them | the mines had been worked many years! before. The men returned to their claim and were never seen again. It was reported they were killed by In- dians but other rumors of a sensa- tional nature persisted. Because the two unfortunate gold seekers believed that the deposits had been mined by Spanish explorers, the region became known as _ the Lost Spanish Cabin mines. For many years Jake Johnson, a pioneer, has! searched for the property and at last} he believes he located the mines about 18 miles east of Hyattville. It is said that nuggets found in this district have been sent to assayers. DEAD IN FERGUS CITIES GIVE RELIEF Fergus Falls, June 25.—With the death this morning of A. L.

Branden- berg, president of the First State bank. Food supplies have arrived from St. Paul, Minneapolis and other points in sufficient quantities. During the night four shots were fired at guardsmen by men who. were believed violating: the looting order. HEALER Cures New Yorkers by Laying on Hands BY J. H. DUCKWORTH, New York, June 23.—Strange sights for this modern Babylon are being wit- nessed at Trinity chapel, , The lame, the halt and the blind are making pilgrimages daily to this famous old bulwark of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States, to be treated by James Moore Hick- son, a practitioner from England, who peal teens by the laying on of hands and, by prayer as taught by Christ himself. e et I Among the “miracles” this modern healer is credited with having per- formed in New. York is the cure of Two children, victims of infantile par- alysis, Tall, broad-shouldered, with kindly gray eyes under shaggy brows, ruddy cheeks and. closé-cropped hair, Hick- son looks rather a typical British bus- iness man fond of golf or some other outdoor sport. “My purpose,” he declared today after having treated some 30 invalids, “is to bring to the sufferer the great fact of the: Lord’s presence. The heal- ing by. the laying on of hands and by prayer belongs to the church, and this has: been neglected since the fifth century, “Faith has much to do with the suc- cess of treatment of diseasé—the faith of the sufferer. On this account the best results sare “pbtained avith children. ,They have nothing to un- Tt was as a lad of fourteen in his native Australia, Hickson says, that he first discovered the power of heal- ing within himself. A neighbor child suffered so from neuralgia that his face twiched. Then an aunt had the same nervous ailment. Both he cured by laying his hands on them. “My mother said it was a gift from God. Well. it was.” i BOUNTY GRAPT IMPOSSIBLE Helena, Mont.—One of the oldest and most profitable industries in Montana is rapidly ceasing to exist, It was represented during decades in many sections of the state and it is stid to have made snug fortunes for hundreds of citizens, The industry sing bounty ani- mals for the bounty, The new bounty eet has killed it. Under the old law, anyone who brought in sealps got the money—and few questions were asked. There were many ways to cheat. One was to dispose of the same beast in TWdaho and Montana, Bounty wag col- lected on the scalps in this state and on the feet in Idaho. The new Montana law requires that TOWNLEY TO APPEAR BEFORE COURT TODAY Too Busy Campaigning to Face Charges of Sedition at Jackson JURY IS SWORN IN TODAY Jackson, Minn., JJune 25.—When the trial of A. C, Townley, president of the Nonpartisan league, and Jo- seph Gilbert, organizer, was resumed this forenoon in Jackson county dis- trict court, Townley had not yet made his appearance. He was in Fargo yesterday, and his associates said it was understood he would leave Fargo for Jackson some time today. Prosecuting Attorney Nichols be- gan his address to the jury shortly af- ter 9 this morning. The indictment returned against Townley and Gil- bert alleges that they entered into a conspiracy to teach disloyalty. “The crime of conspiracy means| that two or more persons have been in unison together to commit an un- lawful act.” said the state’s attorney. “These persons must only agree to commit the offense; they need not actually commit the act. One or more of them, however, must commit an avert act. Two or more persons, for instance, may conspire to commit murder. Should one of these pur- chase a pistol, the law would hold the offense committed, although there was no actual murder.” Only a few spectators were in the court room when the case got under way. The county attorney did. not make any reference to the actions of Townley at the outset of his address. He dwelt at length upon the alleged activities of Townley, Gilbert and Freitag, a league organizer, during the early months of the war. A motion of the defense to segre- gate witnesses was denied for the|,, present. “If it becomes necessary the} witnesses will be segregated, said | Judge Dean. “Ole Thorson, judge of probate, at Lakefield, was ‘the first wtiness called by the state. He testi- fied that on January 18, 1918, county authorities said a letter to Nonparti-| san headquarters notifying the league | it could not hold meetings in Jackson | county. He testified that on January 23, 1918, Joseph Gilbert came to Lake- field and said that the county authori- ties had no right to stop the meetings of the league and he intended to speak. GATE CITY BUYS PUBLICITY BY THE YARD OF HOLMBOE Fargo, N. D., June 25.—The Pubiic- ity Film Co,, of Bismarck, has been engaged by the Gate City Commercial ¢ciub to make a number of films of Far- xo and vicinity, The famous Schroeder farm, operated by the president of the National Holstein Breeders’ associa- tion, and whence was recently sold a Holstein bull which brought $65,000, will be featured in these pictures.

PAVING MAN ASKS CHANCE T0 SAVE CITY $50,000.00 Representative of Refined As- phalt Product Declares He’s Bucking Trust COMMISSION “INTERESTED” Appearing by his own admission in the role of a mercenary philanthropist, W. A. Gill of Minneapolis, representing the Texaco Asphalt Co., attempted Monday to convince the city commis- sion that Bismarck can save from $30,000 to $50,000 on its proposed four | and one-half miles of paving by alter its specifications so as to permit the Texaco company to buck the as phalt trust.

Shortly before a recess was taken! sion seems inclined to belleve that tw Nicholas discussed the, address at Lakefield, Minn., in January, 1918. The indictment alleges’ Gilbert told his | audience that “men should not invest money in U. S. bonds, and that the U. S. soon would be bankrupt if we continued in this war.” Taking the testimony at the trial of President A. C. Townley, of the Na- tional Nonpartisan league, on a charge, was begun in district court here this afternoon after Judge E. C./¢ Dean denied a motion of the defense to dismiss the case. Attorney for the defense asked for dismissal on the ground that the in- dictment charges more than one of- fense.
