The Lepislativa Outlook.

YANKToN, Oak, Oct 25.-1he contest for
members of the next Territorial legislature has
been q sharp one. Not between Democrats and
Republicans. however, for with two or three
exceptions the Democrats have not cared to go
through the farce of making nominations; but
between the different factions of the Repub-
hcans. Early in the campaign, or just after
the Grand Forks convention, Delegate Pettigrew
was heard to say that he intended to control
the Territorial legislature this winter When
this remark was made the delegates to two or
three district conventions had been chosen, and
the men nominated are presumed to be friendly
to the delegate, though there is no reason to
believe that they can be used as the tools of
that gentleman. But the people did not like
the prospect, and they made the legislative
fight in several Enthusiastically in the
Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth dlstrics-and
the Pettgrew men got badly left The bolt in the
Second district is an ant-Pettigrew movement.
The same county convention that sent delega-
ton to Grand Forks choose representa- iyes
to the legislative convention. From Grant
county the anti Pettigrew delegates were ad-
mitted at Grand Forks, but the other men
claimed to be the regular delegates and were
seated in the legislative convention. The anti
Pettgrew men kicked against this, declaring
that with their representation from Grant
county they could have carried the convention.
1t Is not possible at this time to tell just what
influence Mr.. Pettgrew will have in the legis-
lature; but it will probably not be able to
control it If he would though, he will no
doubt have number of warm friends
in both branches. 1t is hoped the members
will not run quite as wild this winter in pass
ing bills over the governors veto for taxing the
people without allowing them to vote on the
different projects, as was done two years ago.
and the prospect now is that the legislature
will be as ab,v and honest q body of men as

never was seen, IA the dim rays
OF the lantern were cast upon the
corpse. His right side from his
neck down to his abdomen, and
from there his entire body to
just above his knees was burned
to black crisp. His right hand
wore a buck-skin glove aud
grasped his clothes on his breast.
The glove and the clothes in his
grasp were unburned. His face
was but slightly burned. The
hair on his head was nearly all
burned off. HIS overcoat was
but partly burned, while his vest,
undercoat and shirts were nearly
entirely consumed. He bore
only one wound and that was a
bullet hole in his head just above
the right ear. j. ID. Lawrence
picked up u large dark sleeve
button near the body. The shirt
collar was burned from around
his neck. A horse shoe nail
was lying on his stomach. One
overcoat pocket was turned
wrong side out, lot of cigars
were found in an inside pocket
of the same coat and an empty
bottle was picked up near. The
gentlemen already named con-
veyed the corpse on horse
blanket To u sl,anty about half
mile distant belonging to John
Leonard. 1t was judged from
the wound that it was made by
80 callbre revolver. The ver-
diet ot the jury was that "Tae
deceased, Daniel Wolfe, came to
his death by a shot from a re-
volver in the hands of some per-
son or persons unknown" The
body was lain upon hay and ma

Excursion to Charleston.

The first excursion to Charleston
takes place next week. commencing
Monday, the l7lh to the 20th inclusive,
tickets good to return until the 22nd,
and we imagine that the influx of visit
ors to the beautiful and historic city will
be large. At no season of the year does
Charleston present greater attractions
than in the spring time, and we advise
our friends to make the trip by all
means. Among the many attractions
are tie Grand Floral Fair, at the Agri-
cultural Hall, and the splendid pageant
in the Tournament and Tilt Of the
Charleston Light Dragons at the race
course, besides others. The cost of the
trip there and back from Newberry is
only $3.50. See schedule in another
column.
