for his version of the matter. He filed
his reply Saturday, answering first that
he laid sworn confession OF Cralg's con.
federate before Secretary Bristow. He
directed him to refer the came to Solicitor
Wilson and follow the solicitors instruc'
tlons; that the solicitor examined the
case and directed him to institute criminal
proceedings, which, believing the parties
guilty, he did; second, that the police Judge
held them to answer and the grand jury in
dicted them, which in law fully vindicated
the auditor in making the complaint; ;
third, that the parties had procured the
allowance of the claim on the Testimony
of Wellans and that Craig should now be
heard to complain that notice was taken
Of Wellan's admission that his evidence in
support of the claim had been purchased
and that the claim was false; fourth, that
the parties were guilty OF criminal charge
and ought to have been convicted, and
that the acquital was but another case of

The Coming Immigration.

The Coming Immigration.
There . great deal of attention being
attracted to Jamestown from all along the
Northern Pacific Railroad, as we'll as
many points east, especially from Wis
consin;
This is due to its central position on
the Northern Pacific in Dakota Territory !;
to its beautiful situation in the fertile James
River Valley, valley 400 miles long, rich
in agricultural qualities from its head to
its mouth; to the hardly less fertile upland
plateaus above the river; its easily pro-
cured and excellent water, in fact every
thing that goes to make prosperous
farming community and a thriving town.
Not only is attention directed this way,
but tide of immigration has set toward
us that will before midsummer, occupy
all the government lands within Is miles
Ut least, OF our town.
The railroad lands are sold for 10 to 20
miles from jamestown, many of the owners
Of which are now cultivating them or pre-
preparing to do SO.
The business, trades and professions de-
pending upon tue agriculturist, are being
fast represented by active pushing men,
who are fully alive to the coming import
ance of this place, and who will do their
part to make it second to no country place
along the line of road.
This being the case, we would strongly
advise any who propose coming here, to
not procraktinate, but to come soon if they
would secure good chance in the different
~vocations they propose to follow.
