AssAULTING A JOURNALIST.
Tht PerzIs of Dramatic Criticism.

One John Armstrong, an alleged actor, who
is chiefly remembered hereabout by his
eccentric taste in gloves while playing. at the
Museum duriug Fanny Marsh's first season,
gave fsrcical exhibition In which he took the
part Of the fool in this city yesterday. The
circumstances were these:
Yesterday afternoon about half past four
o'clock as Mr.. Melvin W. Higgins, night
editor of the Argus, was passing in font of
the United States Hotel he was suddenly ap-
preached fom behind by Armstrong who asked
him if his name was Higgins. Being
answered in the affirmative Armstrong
further asked if he wrote the criticism on
"Little Em'ly" that appeared in the Argus
that morning. Mr.. Higgins said, be did
promptly, whereupon Armstrong struck him
severe bow under the ear. Mr. H'ggins
attempted to close with him but the two were
at once separated, and Armstrong fed. At a
late hour last night the polce were hunting
for him. 1t is thought that hs left town on
the Boston boat. He was not at the theatre
last evening.
Armstrong took the character of "Urah
Hep" in "Litte Emily" as given by the
George Fawcett Rowe company at Music
Hall Monday evening, and be played it very
badly. Ia the Argus yesterday morn
ing there appeared the following sharp but
Just criticism.
Uriah Heep was never intended by Dickens
to represent fool, but from the idotc smile
which constantly distorted the face Of Mr..
Armstrong it was evident that was his CON-
ception of the authors idea. The part was
overdrawn. and also lacked the redeeming
quality of being artistic even in its exaggera-
ton.
The truth of the criticism struck home
Armstrong was wroth. aud tempted to
revenge himself by assaulting tbs man who
gave SO correct a characterization Of his
'Uriah Heep." He will have the chance, if
the police get their hands on him, of adding
the role Of Jail bird to his slender repertoire.
Let us hope for the credit If the profession
that he will play it better than he does "Urah
Heep." He is certainly better fitted for it,

The Offering of horses for work and farm use
is limited at present. There is not much demand
until after harvest, for this class of stock. We
are not fully prepared to give reliable figures,

largest price when he sells, and always finds

A few, 10 fact, quite large number of
grasshoppers have paid us visit, and they
say and do nothing to indicate when
they intend to bring 1t to an
end. The farmers are wondering what they
mean, whether they have serious inten.
tions respecting the growing crop of corn,
potatoes, &c, or are looking forward to
next springs crops, and have come to make
provision accordingly. But. as they are
very uncommunicative chaps. like this sea.

have to wait until they have taken their
leave, before we can decide as to the busi-
ness that has brought them here. If we
succeed in eliciting any information from
them we will communicate the same to the

Is of interest to every Dakotaian.
Several weeks ago party passed
through this settlement with several ponies,
two of which they sold to Mr.. B. T. Way,
living three miles north of town. A few
days after Mr.. Way rode one of them to
town, and while the pony was tied in front
of one Of the stores, stranger claimed it.
and succeeded in convincing Mr.. Way, that
the pony was his property, and that 1t. with
the rest of the drove from which Way had
purchased, was stolen property. Mr.. Way
wrote 10 the sheriffs of several counties of
Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota, accurately
describing the men. A few days since he
received postal card from the sheriff at
Sioux City, acknowledging the receipt of
his letter and description, and saying that
the men had been captured, and are in Jail
at Yankton, Dakota. That is business, that
is, if the rascals get their just deserts, now
that they are captured. 1t every individual
in community would feel it an imperative
duty to do all in his power, to secure sim
