Judge Stutsman, in compliance with
the statute, charged the grand jury Of
kcokuk upon the subject Of the sale Of
intoxicating liquors. He has made the
same charge throughout his district 1t
can be very briefly stated. He finds the
duties of the grand jury as to the liquor
traffic to be precisely what they would
be if there had been no election upon
the amendment. The laws that were in
force heretofore are the laws in force to-
day. The amendment makes the sale of
ale, beer and wine invalid but there are
no penalties which bring TIE traffic as to
these within the the cognizance Of the
grand jury until the legislature makes
the penalties. The grand jury has no
power 10 pay any attention to the mann
facture and keeping for sale or the sale
of ale, wine and beer. Its duties as to
other liquors are just what they have
been. The majority of the lawyers
hereabouts believe the law to be as

Some Style About This,

A Denver dispatch of the 22d gives
the following particulars of twelve
sided duel between cowboys: George
Howard, owner of herd of 5000 cattle,
and Jno. Kelly, owner of 1900, were
driving in company from Arizona east.
North of Trinidad, on the plains, the
two herds were separated, Howard to
follow the Santa Fe trail to Kansas City,
and Kelly to drive north to Denver. On
the route accidental exchanges were
made, and Howard insisted on having
his stock cut out, but was unwilling to
deliver Kelly's. 1t was finally agreed to
settle the matter by a battle between
six picked men from each party. Ac-
cordingly, twelve men ranged them
selves on horseback on the two sides.
fifty feet apart, and at signal from the
employers, a fight began. At the first
fire four men were instantly killed.
George Lester, one of Kelly's party, was
shot through the breast one of How
ards men fell with ball through his
head, and two others Of the same party
we're shot through the heart. Dismay-

ton Of their employer, fled the camp.
Kelly then road up to Howard and pro-
posed that they fight it out. Howard
declined, saying that he understood that
the matter was settled according to the
terms of battle made beforehand. This
settled the matter. An equitable divis.

dead buried, and the droves, and those

The Fargo republican of the 18th says:
No greater Injustice was ever done any
great STATE or territory than was done
Dakota last winter through that party
policy which refused to divide this great
commonwealth When the democratic
party refused to permit the people OF
Dakota to be divided, it made mistake.
Justice demanded that this territory,
with its four hundred and fourteen
miles of length and over three hundred
Of breadth, should be divided because
it's settlements were in the extreme
north and south, with the intervening
country comparatively uRoccupid. Their
interests were. are and always will be at
variance they can never be identical
No party can, with safety to itself, ignore
the call Of right and justice, and the ac-
ton of the democratic party in congress-
while it probably satisfied the dictators
as wise in party policy, has placed
great barrier in the way of the organiza.
ton Of the party in Dakota. 1t has lined
Itself in opposition to our interests and
has given unmistakable evidence of its
enmity to Dakota. 1t would not have
injured the party to have aided SIMPLY
division. The wisdom Of admission of
the whole or part of the territory may
be debatable, but against simple division
there cannot be found single tenabe
objection. Sectional strife in securing
representation is one of the Objectiona-
hle features of this unwieldy bulk, of
which We have witnessed an example |
during the week at Grand Forks. The |
incongruity of the situation would
among less refued and intelligent gen.
tlemen composing the convention, have
been productive Of dire resalts. Let us
have division, so that neither party w4ll
have TO take its trouble into the camp of
the other, and that this sectional strife
may be forever stopped.
