A GOOD PLOT
FOR A NOVEL
A Man .Whose Adventures Would Ri
val Those of Sinbad the Sailor
Passes Thaough Fargo.
He Was Scalped by the Apaches, Both
Ears Cut Off By a Boxer
and Was a Slave.
For fifteen minutes last night Fargo
had witTTiif its borders a man who, in
many ways, is one of the most remark
able characters living. He has been
scalped by the Apachcs, been made a
slave by one of the wild tribes in
Africa, had both cars cut off by a jag
ged piccc of pottery in the hands of a
Boxer in the late troubles which shook
China from center to foundation, and
has twice narrowly escaped being eaten
by cannibals in the south seas. At
one time he was in the employ of the
United' States government as a scout,
and has spent many a night 111 com
pany with Tom Horn, the Wyoming
cowboy murderer who was recently
hanged at Cheyenne during the time
when the nihie of Geronimo was a
terror to white people living in the
west.-
The man is Arthur L. Carnngton.
and was born in Scotland 57 yeajs ago.
He ran away from his home near For­

res. on Moray Firth, when he was 10
years of age, and shipped to New York
as a stowaway. From New York, after
working a while as a messenger, lie
went to Kansas' City, and afterwards
drifted further west, where he took up
the occupation of a scout for the gov
ernment. He has a personal letter of
introduction from General Miles to
Albert Edward, written before that
prince became king of England. Car
rington has never presented this letter.
It was while hunting for Geronimo
that he and four companions fell in
with a band of Apaches in Arizona,
and his four companions were killed
and scalped Carrington was left for
dead. He was found five hours later
by government troops. After the sur
render of Geronimo Carrington went to
San Francisco, and went before the
mast. For five years he cruised in the
south seas, and in 1899 was wrecked on
a small island in the south Pacific,
about 100 miles south' of Jarvis Island.
Himself and companions were made
prisoners by the natives and prepara
tions were begun for a feast. All man
aged to make their escape, but during
the chase while followed Harrington
became separated from his companions
and was again captured. Another siege
of waiting while he saw the savages
about to .begin their feast which would
consist principally of himself, and then
Carrington's lucky star again began
the ascendant, as a French man-of-war
appeared, and, upon the demand of its
captain, Carrington was delivered over
to him. His companions had been
picked up by the man-of-war and had
come to his rescue.
He also saw many bloody scenes dur
ing the Boxer uprising in China, arid

while in one of the fights he was cap
tured and both ears cut off by a piece
of pottery. After this uprising had
been subdued he again went to sea, and
entered the service of a dealer in
ivory.
Carrington says that himself and five
sailors became lost in the deep woods
in Africa, and, while following the
tracks of a large band of elephants
were surrounded by natives, all armed
with spears. The six men made a des
perate fight, but were all wounded and
captured. They were kept by the tribe,
which ha.d its headquarters near the
Kamerun mountains, until the Kjal
pees, as the tribe was called, were sur
rounded by a detachment of German
troops, and forced to surrender. The
six men had bsen used ,'as servants
during their captivity.
Carrington recently arrived in Seat
tie from Honolulu, where lie is now en
gaged in mercantile pursuits. He is 011
his way to hh old home in Forres, and
will go to Fort Worth, Tex., to visit
a cousin before leaving for Tiis home.
He passed through Fargo .st night
on the N. P. and his story as told dur
ing the brief moments the train stop
ped here, was substantiated in part by
the absence of his ears and the scalped
soot, about as large around as a dollar.
Carrington talked freely to a reporter,
and expressed himself as sorry that he
did not have longer time in which to
relate his adventures, some of which
would probably rival, those of Sinoad
and Sailor.

ANOTHER CONVICTION.
A Third Mam Convicted for Cqqmlif Ity. in the
A»hley Murder^ v
Ellendale Record: The trial of Peter
ReidHnger, charged with being one of
the slaters of Chris Rott in the blind
pig of Freda Winters in Ashley last
February. resulted in the jury finding
the defendant guilty of manslaughter in
the second degree, the punishment be
ing fixed at improisonment in the peni
tentiary for a term of one year. The
case was submitted to the jury Satur
day noon, and after debating the prop
osition for a few hours the above ver
dict was arrived at. Attorney Boucher,
for the defense, immediately gave no
tice of intention to move for a new
trial, and asked that Mr Reidlinger be
admitted to .bail pending this motion.
This was granted by Judge Fisk, and
the bond heretofore given by the de
fendant was deemed sufficient and Reid
linger departed for iiis home in Mc
intosh County Sunday, to remain Until
the final disposition of his case.
The evidence in the Reidlinger case
differed little from the preceding ones,
the prosecution depending for a con
viction principally on the testimony of
Freda Winters, who conducted the
blind pig where the affair occurred,
and L, Grinanger, the printer,.who was
present during the time, and whose
testimony was substantially the same
as given by Mrs. Winters. On the oth
er hand, the defendants claimed the
trouble arose in an entirely different
manner and that Grinanger nad a hand
in the fight. Many Of the prominent
citizelis of Mcintosh County were call
ed to the stand and testified to the
good character of the defendant, Reid
linger, during, his residence in that
county, and a verdict of not guilty by
the jury was not unexpected. The
pVessure of business in his own dis
trust compelled thp return of Judge
Fisk to. Grand Forks Saturday at the
conclusion of the trial of Peter Rejd
litog.ei?, and as it was impossible at-this
time to secure another judge to try
the remaining defendant in the Rott
case, Gottlieb Schaefer, court was ad
journed until March, 1904^
Andreas Schlabs and John Nagcl
were taken to Bismarck Monday by
Sheriff Thompson and Oscar Perry,
wher£ theji will serve out their senten
ces of five years and one year respec
tively. Nagel has already served (sev
eral tnonths of his sentence of "one
year, and with good behavior will be
released next spring. Schlabs has been
very despondent since he received his
sentfeig e, but had apparently recovered
his spirits, and appeared cheerful

advertising columns o\ The Tribune to
the effect that the Northern Pacific Re
frigerator Car Co. at Medora offers its
immense slaughter house and ice
houses free of charge to any person
who is responsible and will start some..
industry therein, indicates that Mme.
de Mores is doing something for the
future of Medora. The offer should
not long remain w'ithoutthe acceptance
of some person or firm. Certainly this
is a liberal inducement, if there is any
industry in the manufacturing line.that
can profitably be carried on in the
western part of the state.
CONSUMPTION
Malfily Caused by Chronic

A member of the firm of Fout
Porterfield has given a good deal
time to the study of consumption, ani_
finds that comparatively- few cases- arc,,.
hereditary.
Mostly all are caused by neglected
coughs and colds, Which gradually
weaken the whole pulmonary system,
and befot-e people realize it there is a
diseased spot in one lung spitting blood
soon follows and eventually a collapse.
Such an unnecessary end, such a pity,
for all could have been so different.,
We know of hundreds of cases where
our wonderful cod liver oil preparation
Vinol, has saved a young and valuabl
life, which without it would have bee*
-sacrificed. We have letters from people
who were giyen up to die, and who
!ositiveiy state that Vinol, and Vinol
alone, saved tKeijj- lives" when all* efe(p
had failed to help them.
Vinol is able

cure hanging on -co

most perfect preparation of cod liver
oil ever compounded it contains no oil
or grease to

yet it does 'contain every one of the

we will supply all the Vijiol we think
necessary to cure any case of chronic
coughs, hanging-cm colds or weak arid
