PEERLESS BAKING POWDER.
A FRACAs AT BRuLE CITY.

George E. Rand, better known here and
in the upper country under the alias of
"Red Cloud" who came down from Rrule
City the other day, gives US the particulars
of q fight near that place last week In which
the notorious jim Somers seems to have
been overwhelmed by superior numbers and
temporarily laid out. Red Clouds account
of the affair is thst Somers visited the house
of his father law, Mr.. hr%istensop, and
there corralled a wood chopper named
John Dillon, against who he held an old
grudge. Somers attacked Dillon and felled
to the floor by a blow with a club, laid
on across the front part of the wood chop
per's Uranium. Christensen then grabbed
a loaded gun, but instead Of shooting hit
Somers q heavy blow with it, bringing him
down and breaking the gun stock 10 two.
Somers got up and ran from the house,
pursued by the two men and several other
telling strokes were got 10 during the
melee. The result was that Somers was
badly used up, has taken to his bed and is
splitting blood. He says that as soon as he

A REVOLVING CRIME.

A revolving crime committed nearly three
weeks ago has just been brought to public
knowledge. Mons Nelson, y Norwegian, is
the perpetrator Of the crime and his victim
is a little girl, eleven years Of age, II daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Larson, who lives in q chalk
stone house on Capital street, opposite the
Excelsior mill. Larson formerly boarded
with the family and on his re urn to Yank.
ton, several weeks ago, he took tempo
rary lodging at their house. On the
nigat of the crime the parents Of the chill
drsn were away fom home and Nelson
broke open the door Of the room in which
the girl was sleeping and forcibly accomp
lished his devilish purpose. The affair was
kept quiet for a time, but Marshal Baumann
finally got hold of it and has since been en-
deavorinE to induce the parents Of the girl
to swear out a warrant against Nelson. This
they refused to do, and this morning Bau-
mann got out the necessary papers and sent
them to the sheriff Of Union county, accom-
panied by instructions for the arrest Of Mel
son, who is supposed to be at work near Elk
Point. His young victim is now suffering
from a loathsome disease, the result of his
british act. If There is any offense against
law and humanity which merits the severest
punishment given in the name Of justice it
is the one charged up against Nelson.

The Supreme court Of the
United States has recently rem
dered decision in respect to
marriage ceremonies that is of
considerable Importance. The
common law treats marriage
simply az civil contract, entire
ly valid for all purposes with
which the law deals when the
consent Of two parties, compe-
tent to make the contract. is
established as fact, without
any form of solemnization. The
doctrine of the Supreme court
is that state statutes enacted to
regulate the mode Of entering
into this contract, providing for
a solemnization by a minister or
a magistrate, do not render a
marriage invalid at common law
bv reason of its nonconformlty
herewith, unless those statutes
so declare. They are, in the
absence of such declaration,
simply directory, and do not
effect the validity Of the mar
riage contract or any Of the
rights resulting thercfrom.
They neither confer nor take
away the rights already secured
by the common law. While this
is to be accepted as the law of
the land, and all questions OF
n civil nature relating to mar
riage are to he settled according
ly, 4 formal solemnization Of the
contract in some public manner
and by some ceremony is never
theless eminently expedient.
Such is the general sense of the
people as shown by their prac-
tice, and society would be q
loser, rather than gamer, by
abandoning it.

Land Grants.

Congress has adjourned with
out taking action on the House
bill, which was favorably report
ed, for restoring to the public
domain fully one hundred mil
lion acres Of land. These lands
have from time to time been
granted to States and to corpo-
rations, to aid the building of
railroads, telegraphs. and other
public works not completed
within the, terms of the grants.
These lands are 10 doubt for
feitable, if not forfeited; but as
1t IS held that ,he forfeiture does
not take effect without legisla-.
ton, legislation should have
been applied. There We're twen-
ty-three different projected rail
road and telegraph lines con-
cerned in that bill, principal
among which was , Northern
Pacific Railroad. some OF the
grants date back more than
twenty years; they include land
IN Mississippi, Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Mich
igan, as we'll as in our own and
other Territories of the West;
and the Northern Pacific, Allan
tic and Pacific, and Texas Pacific
roads received fr eiXths + f all
the land thus granted. Though
some of the lands are of little
value, others are extremely fer
tile. In a few cases the lands
have apparently been allowed
to remain part Of the public do
main, even when the terms OF
the grant have been complied
with, i'll order to escape taxa
tion; but this also is ! piece OF
sharp practice that needs to be
checked.

General News.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 20.-In the city
it seems probable that the Kearneyites
will elect all local candidates, but the
vote will be close. From returns thus
far received it looks as though the nom
partisans had carried the second and
third districts, with the fourth district
in doubt. 1. is difficult to form an opin>
ion from partial returns, owing to the
breaking up Of old party lines.
The counting of the city vote is pro-
ceeding very slo xly. The general opin-
ion is that the Kearney candidates will
have about 1000 majority. with the ex-
ception of DR.. O'Donnell, who ruus be-
hind and is expected to be defeated.
Tho complexion of the convention as
regards county delegates will be as fol>
lows: Non-partisans, %, Working
men. 4S. Republicans. 10, Democrats,
s. Full returns may vary the above to
the extent of half dozen.
1t is still a matter of doubt as to the
80 delegates from the state at large
The city will give probably from 1.50O
to 5000 majority for the Workingmen,
but the large counties Of Alameda. San
Joaquin. Sacramento. Sonoma. Butte,
and others have gone heavily non-psr-
tisan; whether sufficient to overcome
the city vote will perhaps require a
complete count. Nevada county gives
the workingmen large majority.
