Albertson Shot
Bismarck-C. H. Albertson was shot in the foot and painfully wounded Saturday evening about 6 o'clock. The shooting occurred in J. T. McDonald's place and was done by a young fellow from the reservation named Jean Lapelle or as some call him Smith. He was flourishing a 45 calibre revolver and snapping the trigger, when Albertson told him he should put the gun up, he started towards him. As he raised his foot to step forward the man with the gun snapped the revolver again and this time it exploded, the ball entering Albertson's foot between the first and second toes passing through the foot and coming out near the heel. Lapelle took in the woods when he saw what he had done and was taken in later by policeman Hubert and landed in jail. Dr. Quinn was called to dress the wound and Albertson was taken home. The wound is a painful one and may prove serious. The hearing of Lapelle will probably be held Thursday Bismarck Daily Tribune Monday March 12, 1900
Loss of stock —Mrs. H. Gager is reported to have lost 200 sheep, several cows and other stock in the severe storm of last week at her ranch south of the city. She was alone at the place with no one to help her care for the stock during the storm. Bismarck Daily Tribune Monday March 28, 1904
More Motors
George Gussner has installed an eight horse electric motor in his butcher shop and now you can have the finest kind of sausage ground up by electricity, which George assures us gives the succulent delicacy a fine flavor that can be obtained in no other way. Charles Kupitz will soon attach an electric motor to his dough mixer which will make the bread the best ever. John Homan has also arranged for one of these great helps of mankind and will make, bake, and deliver his bread and cakes by the electric process. Bismarck Tribune Thursday April 15, 1905
Soldiers Get Limit
At an early hour Saturday William Connor, a well-known hackman of Bismarck, was set upon and badly hurt by six soldiers who had been in town and were on their way to Fort Lincoln. They wanted the hackman to take them to the post, but he wanted to go to the barn and substitute a sled for the hack, but they seized the hack, beat and threw him from his seat and drove off, turning the team loose on the prairie near the post. Aided by the military authorities the men were rounded up today and given twenty days in jail and a hundred dollars fine, maximum for assault and battery. The assault was so unprovoked, and, following other breaks, has aroused considerable hostility against a certain class of soldiers and is a striking commentary on the mistaken policy of abolishing the army canteen.
