"If a debtor can enter into verbal or

A terrible fight occurred between a
party of New Mexican whites and a
band of Apache Indians, whereby thir-
ty-two out of company of fifty of the
former were killed. The particulars
are as follows: A company of volun-
tecrs who were organized to punish the
band of Apaches under Victoria, who
have been raiding in New Mexico,
crossed into Old Mexico in pursuit of
the sayages, and were ambushed in the
Candelevia Mountains. The whites
fought with desperation for several
hours, but were outnhmbered and, at
a great disadvantage in position. suf-
fered terrible loss, thirty-two being
killed and nearly every one Of the sur
vivors wounded.

In regard to the building of a line
from Sauk Centre to Browns Valley,
by the St. P. M. & M. R. R. Co.,
we do not think it will ever be con-
structed, but do think that they will
build road from Morris to Browns
Valley, if for no other reason than to
prevent the Little Falls & Dakota
from making connection with the
Hastings & Dakota; but whether such
a line would prevent the extension OF
the L. F. & d. west of Morris remains
to be seen. The stockholders say it
will not; they have ample capital to
to push the road through, and can
readily compete with any line that
may be built by the St. P, Nj. & M.
Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-11-13

Now that the election has passed
and majority of the voters have de-
cided to aid the Little Falls & Dakota
Railroad, there is not much for us to
say in regard to the matter. except
that we candidly and honestly believe
that our county will be the gamer by
the operation, and that we will never
have occasion to regret the step taken.
It is but question of time ere this
section of country is covered with a
network of railroads, which will cen~
ire at either Duluth or ST. Paul, and
we certainly think that it will be df.
rectly to our advantage to be on two
orthree lines of road, instead of having
them cut us off on every side. This
country is developing rapidly; capital
is seeking investment, and judging from
the past, it is not human nature to al.
low one man, or set of men, to monop.
olize the trade and reap all the profits.

Satterlee came near being elected
governcr-within about twenty thous.
and votes. This was a narrow escape
and should be warning to him. Right
here we might ask what kind of non-
sense and damfoolism is this farce of
Prohibition party. All the forms are
gone through with, and candidates are
nominated, but not one town or village
out of a hundred, nor ten counties in
the state were supplied with election
tickets. Ifthe temperance people ever
expect to accomplish anything in poll
tics they must organize and work.

Last Friday, the 7th inst, two Ger
mans named Railway and Steinway,
living in the town of Ward, fifteen
miles north of Long Prairie, Todd Co.,
Mimi, were found murdered. The
particulars of the tragedy. which re-
suited in the lynching of one of the
murderers, is as follows: A neighbor
called at the home of the murdered
men and was Mortified on finding the
floor, walls and furniture Smeared and
covered with blood and brains. Search
was made for the bodies but without
success. It was revealed later that
feud had existed between Polander
named John Meide, known as Black
John, and the two men. John had
threatened to shoot them. Tt seems
that last spring he came to the town
of Ward with a woman said to be his
wife, and for time lived with Black
John and his brother Michael. The
woman left Hallway and lived with
John and Michael Meide. About
three weeks ago the Meides' house and
stable were burned by an incendiary
fire. Black John accused Hallway and
Steinway of setting the fire. These
circumstances led to the arrest of John
who confessed that his brother Michael
committed the double murder, ard
told where the bodies could be found.
They were discovered buried in hole
in the ground, the bodies tied up in
sheets. Hallway had hcle blown
through his head with buckshot, and
Steinway was hacked and mutilated
beyond recognition. John then made
another confession, in which he said
that both he and his brother committed
the murders.
About three o clock Sunday morning
Deputy Sheriff Barton and one assist
ant were awakened by persons forcing
the door of the Jail. 1t was soon brok-
en- bown and the mob entered. The
sheriff and assistants were ordered not
move, at their peril. The cell door
was chopped away, Black John was
dragged by rope around the neck
about eighty rods to small tree, and
the next morning his body was found
hanging in the wind Michael had fed
previously, but was arrested by Depu-
ty Sheriff Davis. who took him to
Long Prairie, ignorant of the fate Of
John on Sunday. Sheriff Chase mott,
fed the gathering mob that he would
defend the prisoner, and with stfong
posse drove to the Jail. The prisoner
was then spirited out of Jail and with
a feet team was taken ten miles into
the country and by Justices court
was committed.

Official returns give Pillsbury ma.
joriety of over $4,000, and Gilman
over 90, 900. This is somewhat singu-
lar, but not unexpected. Pillsbury
had many enemies among anti-third-
ternlers and others who were dissatis-
fed at his being forced upon the people
by the politicians; while Gi1man's ex-
traordinary run is due mainly to the
fact of his being always ready to do
any thing for any body when it would
place party under obligations to serve
him in turn. This has been his game
for years, and now he has got the in.
terest, the principal will be collected

The st. Paul Globe says: ''The

every man in the house who was a

We think the last election will have
the effect of strengthening, purifying
and inyigoratiDg the Republican party

form combinations, that the people,
the voters, will not tolerate this whole.

support of that party is worth retain

it implies support. The egotistical
idea that enters into the heads of some
people that they are the only ones
qualified to represent party, or fill
an Office, is as silly as it is presumptive.
This notion must possess the minds of
those to whom we allude-else why dc

it is what we want. We are one and
all jealous of our neighbors prosperity;
we, while, perhaps, not begrudging
him his wealth, are, provided we can
do so, liable to embark in the same

The Minnesota election has resulted
as usual, the Republican State Ticket
is elected by the customary majority.
Pillsbury falls behind, his majority be-

ten thousand only. Reports from va

republican gains, although there was
a disposition on the part of the people
to vote independent of party.
