may be adopted, as the flannel drawers
now used are not safe by any means.
Ii is true they are sometimes tiec with a

HANGING OF BRAVE BEAR.

AT YanktOn, Dakota, last Friday, Brave
Bear the Sioux Indian, was hanged.
Joseph Johnson, who had long been in
the employ of the pOst-tTadeT at Chey-
enne River Agency, and having saved
nearly $1,000, started in May, 1879, for
the Upper James River, more than 100
miles distant, where his mother and
brother had started pioneer settlement,
taking with him the savings of several
years of hard labor. He was a quiet
and inOffensive man, but he was destin-
ed to never reacn his home. His brother
became uneasy at his nOn-arrival, know
ing he had started, went to Fort Sully,
and with the assistance of parties there
made search, and some distance out on
the lonely prairie found the dead and
purifying body of Joseph Johnson, with
bullet through his brain. His pockets
were empty, and the horse he had rid
den, his revolver and rifle gone.
Brave Bear was afterwards seen in
possession of a rife and horse which
were identified as the property of John
son. Just as steps were being taken for
his arrest he fled to the hostile camp
but was compelled to come in when Sit
ting Bull surrendered, when he was ar
rested and tried for the murder. The
evidence at the trial was such as to leave
no doubt of his guilt. His own cOnfes.
siOns, recently made to confidential
friends, exhibited the blOOdthirsty char
aeter Of the assassin who lay in wait for
him. He expiated his crime in the Jail
yard in this city, fate he richly meri-
ted, as he is known to have committed
other murders in addition to that of JO-
seph Johnson. He has few sympathizers
here in the West.
When Brave Bear was brought into
court at the time of his trial to hear his
sentence, he looked upon the floor, then
sighed little, and touching his fore
head with his finger, said: 81 have
brains and intelligence, and 1 know
better than to point gun at a white
man." The Judge replied that was rea-
son, and continued, "the sentence of the
court is, that you, MatOOpilike, alias
be removed to the place from whence
you came until the 18th of November,
upon which day you shall be hanged by
the neck until you are dead, and may
the Lord have mercy on your SOUL" The
Indian seemed to take the sentence cool
ly, though he appeared to be very seri-
GUS all the way through. He made sew
eral attempts to take his own life. This
is the first instance where Dakota In
dian has been sentenced for murder.
The hanging occurred at noon, the
gallOws being erected in the Jail yard.
Although the state law requires execu-
tiOns to be private, this was witnessed
by many from outside buildings, and
there were probably hundred, inelu-
ding officials, clergymen and newsps-
per men in the enclosure. Brave Bear
did not manifest any fear, the only thing
troubling him seeming to be the dis
grace Of dying that way. A last appeal
wired to the President in his behalf was
not granted.

explain how 1t is that in Britain, where

to publish both sides of a question. If
so, please give this letter a place.

More About Morrison

The article in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE
concerning the death of the prisoner Ed
Morrison in the county jail, under circum.
stances of seeming neglect and ill treatment
attracted widespread attention and com
ment.
Concerning the death of the outcast moth.
ing particularly new was developed on yes
terday. The absence of the coroner from the
city, who returned last evening, however,
made any action in the premises almost out
of the question.
Attracted by the account in the GLOBE a
lady Mrs. Morrison visited Mccarthy & Don.
nelly's store, accompanied by her daughter,
yesterday morning., to view the remains, in
order to ascertain if the deceased had been a
hayward son and brother whose whereabouts
was not known. The daughter would not
permit her mother to enter the place where
the remains lay for fear their worst fears
might be realized.
1t proved a wise precaution for on enteiiug
the room the young lady cast her eyes in the
direction of the disfgurhd and repulsive re-
mains and straightway fell into swoon.
Fortunately she was accompanied by Mr.. Nc
Carthy.
The body was so decomposed that it was
really beyond Identification, although Miss
Morrison is quite certain that it was not her
brother.

upon the necessity of holding an inquest.

CoRRECTIoN-In the Monday morning
GLOBE, several letters written by the late
Gen. Garfield, were inserted, taken from
the Cleveland correspondence of the Chi
cago Tribune. One letter was prefaced
thus: "The following letter to Mr.. Ly-
man w. Hall, now of st. Paul, Mimi,
but for many years the edi-
tor of Gen. Garield's home or
gan, the Ravenna Republican, Democrat,
has just been made public in that paper,
which is now edited by Mr.. Halsey p
Hall, son of the former editor. lsey
P" is mistake. Halsey R. W: Hall is
the person intended, and he is now the
editor of the paper referred to. Mr. Halsey
r. W. Hall was, several years ago, for one
year, connected with the editorial staff OF

remembered by many citizens of st. Paul.

party and exhibited himself upon the
route as sort of snide side show to the
presidential party.
Halstead recently visited New York
whereupon an evening paper IN that city
reproduced malignant item from the
Cincinnati Commercial relative to Gar
field, just before the nomination. The
independent" editor responded in card
explaining that the paragraph was strick-
en- out in the proof sheet but finally ap-
peared by mistake. AS Mr.. Plimpton,
the only other Irresponsible" editor of
the Commercial, besides Halstead, was in
charge at the time, the item
was undoubtedly written by Halstead
himself, and he now resorts to the ennis
take" dodge as an apology. But worse
than all, Washington newspaper I'M
earths the letter to Dick Smith, which
was to be shown to the Ohio delegation,
but withheld by telegraph, and it contains
almost the Identical language of the dis
carded paragraph, and certainly the same
sentiments. This was a sumner for
the ''independent" genius, and he i'm
mediately sailed into Dick Smith,
for Misrepresentation, whereupon that
florid topped individual announced that
all his correspondence with Halstead,
relative to Garfield, was at his (Halstead's)
service if he desired it printed. After a
day or two passed in reflection, Halstead
announced that it was dead issue, and
the correspondence being private should
remain so.
The GLOBE has given this space to
what might be considered a small subject,
in order to call attention to the fact that
Halstead and his newspaper did what
they could to precipitate the panic of
1878 and damage this region of country
He senta correspondent to st. Paul and
from here over the portion of the line
of the Northern Pacific then completed,
with instructions to "write it down. and
the correspondent ebeyed orders.
He depicted the land as bar
rem and worthless and invented the
phrases american descent" and "banan-
ma zone' which are now used in derision
of the lies then circulated. So far as he
could, this trucking and toadying editor
brought about the Jay Cook failure and
sought to destroy great national enter
prise which is developing rich region
of country. The hardy and industrious
settlers along the line of the Northern
Pacific, have crammed Halstead's lies
down his throat, and they will enjoy the
stripping of the political mask from his
venal newspaper.

THE GERMAN CARP.

Mr., Watkins Returns from Washington
With 100 of these Celebrated Fish,
Mr.. Watkins, superintendent of the Mime
sofa fish hatchery, has inst returned from
Washington, D. c., with 1859 German carp,
both kinds, leather and scale. They were OBJ
tanned for breeders, are two years old, and
weigh from three quarters of pound to one
and half pounds. Mr.. Watkins saw some
of these fish when he was in Washington that
were six years old and weighed twenty pounds.
The fish feeds on vegetable food and refuses to
eat meat. They can be fattened on
corn meal, like turkey. These
fish are held in very high esteem and the gov
eminent tried in vain for long time to trans
port breeders from Germany to this side of
the water but was unsuccessful. The author
tiles finally gave up all effort to transport
breeders, and as last resort, took lot of
very young ones and succeeded in getting
thirty-three once here. From those the gov
eminent has distributed many thousands to
different parts of the country, so that this
very valuable fish is now being propogated
very rapidly. This is more readily accom-
plished as this species Of fish does not destroy
its own produce. Mr.. Watkins says the fish
hatchery at Washington is an immense affair
and is admirably conducted.
