thirty-fve miles west of Fargo, was frozen
to death on Saturday last, together with three
of his children, two little boys and newly
born infant. It seems he was moving his
family from claim shanty to another and
more comfortable house. He got his wife
and two of his children to their new quar-
tiers, where tho mother, who had been taken
sick on the way, gave birth to her
fifth child. As soon as he could he start
ed back after his two little boys, whom
he had left wrapped up and sheltered in q
dry goods box. Not returning, his wife
managed the next day to reach the nearest
neighbor, over 8 mile away, and search
as soon as possible was made. The man
was found near his boys, and all frozen
stiff. The infant persisted soon after it was
born. The mother and remaining children
suffered more or less from frost bites. They

A RIOT IN A CHURCH.

Dts0r&cefstI Scenes tn a Presbvterian
Church at Ptttsbssrgh-1he Ho,sse Of God
Turned into Den Of Arobttcs. .-..
Pittsburgh Special, Dec. a.
For long time there has been trouble in
the First Reformed Presbyterian church of
this city. growing out of the call on Rev.
Nevin Woodside, of Brooklyn, to serve as
pastor Of the congregation. At the time the
vacancy existed, the disposition of a ma
jority OF the members in favor of Rev.
Woodside occasioned great deal of bicker-
ing and bad blood. When his election was
announced, a very lively protest was entered,
and the anti oodside members made no
secret of the fact that they would not per-
nit him to occupy the pulpit, and as rea-
son for their hostility, charged that Rev.
Woodside's friends used unfair means to Sc
cure his election, and voted by proxy bal
lots men who had no claims to membership,
and secured proxies by garbled and deceitful
statements. Sides were rapidly taken for
and against Woodside, and between
the two factions was carried on
with vigor much more foroible than COM
mendable, eliminating this afternoon in an
ugly riot within the church. The advent of
Rev. Woodside created as much discussion
az bis election to the vacancy in the church,
and on the Sabbath on which he was to de-
liver his initial sermon the anti Woodside
members barricaded the doors and announc-
ed their determination to keep him out and
prevent the place, as they say, from being
detiled by his presence. Whilethe barrioade
was going on the Woodside people kept close
watoh on the energetic professionals, who on
Saturday night had control of the building,
a Fyr1fr
later hour that succeeded in giving them
possession of the church and control of the
services next morning. They went in through
the windows, took off the lock and replaced
it with an improved Woodside lock. Wood
| side preached his first sermon without mo-
lestation, and for several subsequent Sab
baths succeeded in keeping the mob in abey-
| ance. During this time, however the Hous-
ton Mum crowd, as the anti oodside peo-
pie were called, took the matter into court,
and tho court decided that as members thew
had q right to protest, but there was no law
to prevent the enjoyment of the same rights
by people who espoused the cause of Rev.
Woodslde. The synod was then applied to,
and in the interim the clash was kept up in
the church, and both sides held meetings
and services at different houses. To-day
both sides naet in church, when remark
was was made by an anti oodside which
brought the reverend gentleman to his feet,
pulling of his coat at the same time, which
was the signal for general riot. The
Woodsiders sprang upon their enemies,
raising chairs, pokers, etc., dealing each
other terrific blows on the head. No seri.
ous injury was done, however,. The police
were called in, and tomorrow charges of
riot will be made. .711" ri -
