Messrs. T.. n. Tenney & Co., OF Duluth

county, Minnesota, occupying some sixteen town
ships, and whatever can be devised to smooth the
rugged paths Of pioneer Life, they deyising As
result, G,yndon, one Of the Colony towns now
numbers several hundred inhabitants. The EN-

church and school, and number Of business houses,

ItbeIs On Bismarck.

A number of editorial scriblers have
selected Bismarck and some Of its people
for target practice and the result is some
of the most outlandish lies. One may
be found on the second page. Geo. AL
fred Townsend dishes up the sporting
ing men in manner unjust to them
and injurious to the town. Charley
Stanton who is held up as murderer
and william of the blacklist dye was
tried before a Minnesota court for shoot
ing Shumway and honorably acquitted.
Notwithstanding he is a gambler he is
very much of a gentleman. Morton,
who was also mentioned in no hattering
terms, is respected by all who know
him. Townsend did not go into Mnl-
LENS place and dre- molly on his
imagination for the material for the ac-
counts given. The following from the
st. Paul Dispatch had no foundation
except that church was held in tent
which was originally erected for q gamb-
ling hall but used only as public hall
and carpenter shop. There is a yeget-
able market and tobacco store between
this place and Crummey's establishment
which was closed and the tables covered
on the occasion alluded to.
The Dispatch says: "Onr late towns
man, Crummey, seems to be we'll estab-
lished at Bismarck. "A correspondent
from that place says that last Sunday
religious services, including the preach
ing Of asermcn, were had in Crummey's
establishment, without interruption of
the regular game. On each side of the
stand occupied by the clergymen, faro
banks were in steady operation, and
though the players were quietly intent
on their business, yet the rattling of
their ivory chips was distinctly to be
heard in the pauses of the prayer and
sermon. One of the lucky gamblers
said he admired the pluck OF the the gospel csrr,
Singer and if hat had been passed
for him he would have dropped in it a
big stake off his pile of chips
Sneh stories are uncailed for, wholly
untrue and positively injurious to the
town.

THE KIDNAPPED.
PExBINA, July 1.-THE history OF
the famous Gordon kidnapping case is as
follows: Armed with what they sup
posed full and competent authority. the
Minneapolis authorities attempted to ar
rest Gordon and bring him to the tribu-
nal from which he had fed.
THE MANITOBA AUTHORITIES
regarding this attempt as violation OF
their sovereignty not only released the
prisoner but in turn arrested and held
not only the American officers VINO
made the arrest but several other well
known and 80.
HIGHLY RESPECTED CITIZENS
of Minneapolis, who happened at Fort
Garry at the time, on the charge of.kid-
mapping. Such briefly are the facts in
the case. The attorneys who came up
to act for the prisoners were refused
that privilege by Manitoba authorities
and prosecuting officers. The author
tiles are pushing the case against the
American prisoners with Bitterness and
treat their outside friends in the most
INsoLENT AND BRUTAL
manner, refusing to extend them the
courtesies demanded by common de-.
cency.
The case is likely to be disposed of
Saturday and it is generally thought
that bail will be refused and Hoy,
Keegan, Bently and fletcher will be
CoMMITTED FOR TRIAL
