Clubbed to Death.

MANDAN, Aug. II, p. ma sickening
murder was committed yesterday afternoon
about four o'clock, short distance below
Fort Lincoln, the particulars of which are as
follows, as near as could be obtained last
night: A farmer named Peter Booke came
in late last night and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Harry Hall and John and
Charles Trumbull, on charge of numbering
his brother, Jacob Booke. It seems that
Hall and the Trumbull brothers had taken a
sub-contraot under Mclean & Macnider, of
Bismarck, to furnish hay to the post at Lin
coin, and that Booke also had contract.
They had several disputes shout their rights
in cutting certain hay, and good deal of
bad feeling was stirred up. Yesterday, ac-
cording to Peter Booke's statement, Chas.
Trumbull threatened to strike him with an
axe, and he defended himself with gun,
for John Trumbull to adjust the difficulty.
When he arrived, Jacob Booke was grinding
sickle. Then began dispute in which
Booke drew scythe on Chas. Trumbull,
who struck him with his fist, and then
picked up the treadle of the grind
stone, a long oak stick, and hit
him with it several times, knock
ing him down. Booke got up and ran
to the fort, where he shortly afterward died
from his injuries. John Trumbull was sit
ting in buggy near the scene of the trage-
dy. The affair was also witnessed by Booke's
brother and woman named Egan. John
Trumbull returned to Mandan and was ar
rested by Sheriff Carr. He was taken before
Justice Bateman, and there being no wit;
nesses the examination was postponed until
this morning at o'clock. The sheriff starts
for the scene of the crime at daybreak, and
will arrest the other two witnesses.

Sr. PAUL, Aug. l.-The town of Richfeld,

company him down the road. But when she
finally wanted to turn back he whipped her
and pulled her hair, in order to make her
stop her cries. It was about 3 o'clock when
the child was missed. The nelghbors turned
out to assist the parents in their search.
Later in the day they found her two miles
from home, near "the Red Mill" crying
bitterly. As near as could be learned from
the little ones story, the villain had seen the
pursuing party, and becoming frightened
had run across the fields and made his es-
cape, having been unable, on account of the
quick pursuit, to accomplish the villainous
outrage which he undoubtedly contemplated:
The only description the child could give Of
the brute was that he was rough, ragged,
dirty, dark complexicned and with big
black mustache.

& New Weather Indicator.

Considering that a fall Of the barom-
eter in general indicates coming rain
only when the moisture increases at the
same time, Herr K!inkerfues, Of Got
tingen, has devised combination Of
the barometer and hygrometer. The
horizontal axis of a rotating index has
two supports behind, and between these
a short piece projecting in opposite di-
rection to that of the index, which is
more or less oblique. Over this piece
passes a thin, soft cord of microscopic
fibers (e. S., of human hair deprived Of
grease), reaching from the outer sup
port to the middle of the corrugated
plate of an anerod case. 1t will be
understood that when the air-pressure
increases, the cord is stretched and the
index rises. But, if the moisture in
creases, the cord slackens and the index
falls.

Thurman, lived in the house with him,

honeymoon was half over, the graceless
young grandson was sitting up to lis

mother and eloped with her. The ven

hands some pancakes, in whose COM
position she had taken the utmost
pains. When Mr.. DObson come to eat
them, however, the taste did not cx-

breakfast he observed his wife in tears,
and the poor woman, between her sobs,
explained that it was because he had
turned up his nose at her pancakes.
" You are always saying that nobody

up to the carrying capacity of the grid
