Orr HIS DooR-sTRPs AT II O'Clock the
other night policeman Beaubieu street, De-
troit, came upon man pounding vigorously
on the door of dwelling house, aud he asked
what he wanted there. The FOUNDER was
we'll set up. He descended the steps, wont
close up to the officer and softly whispered in
his ear:
It's my--own abode, and w-want to get
in."
But why don't you call out en asked the
blue coat.
B-Beoause don't want to g-give myself
away. want to get into the house b-before
the jawing commences. want my wife to
think it's s-somebody else.'
We'll, go ahead, but don't arouse the
neighbors.
The officer sauntered on, but in about ten
minutes he encountered the tipsy citizen on
the other side of the block The man was
thoroughly drenched with cold water and had
lost his hat.
Hello didn't you get in y

Snow Fences.

Especial Correspondence Of The Tri6une.)
In coming over the Northern Pacific
railway last June [ noticed high open
fences running at different angles from
the road-bed. On enquiry,I learned they
were snow-fenccs. l was not surprised
to learn they were not efficient in pro-
tecting the road in a driving storm. The
Grand Trunk runs in westerly direc-
ton from the: seaboard and in its early
days was much, troubled with snowbanks
upon its track at certain points, trains fire.
qucntly being delayed a number of days
at time and employing many men with
shovels to open the track. they tried
high, tight fences both parallel. with the
road bed and at gles-noting results
from each-fnally they adopted q tight
board fence eight feet high and at some
points nine, about twenty-five feet from
the track, running parallel with the road
and for the past fifteen years the missing
of q trip has been very scarce. The fence,
if tight, changes the course of the gener-
ally prevailing winds, divertng the snow.
Very little assistance outside Of the regu-
lar track ford has been employed for a
long time. These fences have saved the
Grand Trunk thousands Of dollars,

"RahY Minc.',

The owners Of Baby Mine have con-
cluded to form stock corporation to be
known as the Baby Nine Coal Company,
and place the stock OH the market at a
valuation of 100000, in shares of $100
each. Several eastern capitalists have
examined the niue and are satisfied Of
its worth. 1t is thought that the major
ity Of the GOO shares Of stock will be taken
by business men Of Bismarck, which
would keep the cooirol OF The mine in
this locality. The capitalists Of Bismarck
are posted as to the capacity Of the mine,
The quality Of the coal, its advantageous
location and easy market, and will not let
The opportunity slip of retaining the con-

mated between this date and Sept. 18th.

Spontaneous Combustion.

During the heavy storm of Sunday

.CHUBB CHENOOK
LIEUT.. CHUBB REPLIES TO
ssSERVICE STRIPES.'
Some Ground for Service Stripes
Statements, though Apparently
Exaggerated-ASu Suit for
Slauder Possible. .,E

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
FORT YATES, D. T., Aug. 28.-Please
allow me space to reply to an article in
your issue of yesterday, signed "Service
Stripes" and purporting to have been
written at this post do not wish to en-
ter into controversy with any one writ
ing anonymously, but merely wish to
make a denial of the items in his article
referring to my actions. In regard to the
interview with the Argus editors, I will
say that to my knowledge have never
seen Mr.. West much less spoken to him.
The conversation between Judge Corey
and myself has been falsifed. The state:
ment in reference to the two witnesses
making affidavits IN Bismarck, is false.
The statement that a government wagon
drew up at the county Jail to take drunk
en- witnesses to the examination, IS false.
The statement that | approached Mr.. No
Ian and stated that Gen. Carln would
stop has prosecution if Nolan would make
affidavit that he (Nolan) were not Che
nook, is false. There is some foundation
upon which some of these statements
have been built, but they have been en-
larged upon and falsitied. I do not deem
it necessary to refer further to any Of
them, except the last Had I uthority
to make the offer stated, to Mr. Nolan, I
would have done so before leaving the
post, 50 that, in case of his acceptance,
would not have been obliged to leave
home at a most lnconvenient time. What
| did say to Mr.. Nolan was, in substance,
that if he would make affidavit to the ef-
feet that he were not Chenook, Gen. Car
lin would not commence u suit against
him for slander. The conversation was
repeated by Mr.. Nolan 10 Mr.. John A.
SioyelJ, who af.erward said to me, in Mr..
Nolan's presence, that he had advised
his client to make the affidavit, and asked
me, it he did so, would I stop the pro-
ceedings instituted. I replied I could
not and that the already commenced
had nothing to do with the suit for SLAM
Ger I will add, it would be much more
honorable practice if all matters both pro
and con in connection with the case from
this agency were kept until brought be-
fore the jury, instead of being talsifed
and published Ill hope Of influencing the
future juriessunder the head of "the pub-
lic" agree with Service Stripes" in
leaving it to the public to make their own
deductions from the statements Of ."Che-
nook, '"Doughboy'' and ''Service Stripes"

their own names, and those of, very res
pectfully, C.ST. J. CHUBB,

Life Oh the Rail.

Tuesday night about 10 o'clock, during
the severe shower, the freight train due
here ats a. M, met with an accident six
miles this side Of Crystal Springs, that
resulted in the wrecklng Of the engine
and six cars. The engine broke loose
from the train while going at a speed Of
twenty-five miles an hour down grade.
SO intense was the darkness, mixed with
the bowling of the wind and the beating
of the rain, that the engineer, Delano, did
not notice the disconnection until lie had
run some miles. Upon discovering that
he was 'trainless" he put back without
perceiving any signals, at a swift rate,
The freight cars were coming toward
him, loaded with railroad iron, at speed
'oftwenty miles an hour, and in the dark
ness came the crash, demolishing six
freight cars and the engine, though for
tunately injuring no one. A brakeman,
sitting on the tender, had his coat torn
completely off, and was thrown a dis
tance of twenty feet. The conductor in
the caboose was not aware OF the discon-.
1lection until forcibly reminded of the
collision. "A track was built around the
debris so as not to- interfere with the
sched ule time Of trains

Michigan Men in Kidder County.

An important settlement is about being
established at 18th Siding, in Kidder
county. Col. J. Dawson Thompson and
associates have purchased the Elliot
property and large tract of land in the
vicinity, and are opening bonanza

came up from ST. Paul and got him new
Trial. Stoye]l and Irwin had big tilt in
that case. Stoyell was district attorney,
and every night and Saturday afternoon
he and the barber used to work the trap
eze in Sam Whitney's opera house. The
motion for a new trial came on one Sat
urday, and Stoyell wanted the court to
adj ourn cause he was to do the Lions
Leap son the Irapeze, and the crowd
wanted the court to adjourn, too. Bill
Irwin objected. Then says Stoye]l, says

come over from the fort and mash the
actresses and then some fellow gets his
neck sprained. One O. them actresses
had fits, and one night she had one on
the porch Of the hotel. Thirty-one o.

trouble was she didn't have legs and arms
enough. Chance, of the 17th, tried to
catch on somewhere, but the girl was too
crowded, so he stuck his thumb in her
mouth and she chawed it to the bone.
They sent Jack Garland, of the 9th, for

he got back. They do things up there in

county board adjourned for some reason.
He got it adjourned three weeks in sue

OLD "PROB'S'' SUCCESSOR.
Capt. Hewgate Would Like to Wear
His Shoes.

Capt. Howgate has written letters to
the board of trade of the various cities,
urging them to pass a resolution, asking
for his appointment as successor OF Gen:
Myer, chief signal officer of the army, and
to transmit copy Of the same to the
president. Capt. Howgate is first lieu
tenant of the goth Infantry, detailed for
signal duty. That he should be appointed
to position made vacant by a brigadier-
general seems somewhat absurd, while
there are four lieutenants belonging to
the corps proper, and to whom if any
falls the right of succession. AS the mat
ter now stands, acc ording to the present
statutes in regard to the signal corps, an
officer of the line cannot be made chief
signal officer Of the army by transfer.
Congress will have to make additional
legislation, or if in the emergency the
president shall detail a field officer for
The position, it can only be pro tempore,
until legislation is had providing tor the
vacancy. The signal corps is as distinct
from the line of the army as the war de-
paltment is from the treasury. Let the
officers of the signal corps have show
for promotion the same as iinc officers.
| To put lieutenants now at the signal Of
| flee, detailed from their regiments for
temporary service, over the regular Off
GERS of the corps. would net only be un-
Just but would establish a bad precedent
and have a tendency to lesson the efforts
of the member Of the corps who are now
mastering this important branch of the
service, with the hope of reward IN the
shape of promotion. Capt Howgate's
position in he corps is somewhat SINH
lar to that ola paymaster in a department.
He has been pay and disbursing officer Of
the corps3fpr some years, a position for
which he is eminently fitted. but no one
ever heard of 4 .,payElFaster beiH!gs ap-
! pointed to the command ola department
Such an. appointment would seem very
inconsistent with TIC natural order OF
| things.

r. At Marshall, Texas, on the 18th, a
shooting ARRAY occurred between R. L. Jen-

senger, and the Hon. w. S. Coleman, Rep
resentative in the Legislature, in which the
latter was killed. Both were prominent cit
izens and until recently on friendly terms.
The cause of the trouble was an editorial
that appeared in the Messenger containing
personal illusions to Mr.. Coleman Of such a
character as, in his judgment, de-
manded summary satisfaction. He first
visited the Messenger office, but did
not find the object Of his search; a few mo-
ments later botn met in the street. Some
words were exchanged, when revo1vers were
almost simultaneously drawn and firing
commenced. The first shot on each side
missed; Coleman's second shot struck an
awning post which interviewed between him
and jennings; the latter's second shot
pierced Coleman through the heart, killing
him instantly. Jennings surrendered him
self and was placed in Jail to await exafni-
