ing. A bitter feeling has been cherished
by many miners Of the district against the
Daveys for long time, growing out of a
belief that they were endeavoring to dry
the district, or backcap it, as it is termed,
80 that he could receive coveted property,
and hard words and no little newspaper
controversy has frequently occurred
Young Davey visited Desdwood Sunday
morning, returning to Galena at noon.
He was met at the postof1ce by German,
when harsh words ensued, terminating in
German knocking Davey, mere boy in
physique, PROSTATE twice, when Davey
sprang to his feet and drawing . pistol
fred. inflicting wound from which Ger
man died in half minute. German
owned a conflicting interest in claim ad-
joining the Sitting Bull. Davey surren-
dored to deputy sheriff. Col. Davey is
at present in New York, aud Frank, a.
though only twenty-five years old, is in
charge Of Affairs. The family is one Of
the most respectable and favorsbly known
in the Hills.

stutsmau County Abroad.

Sometime ago Messrs. Fry & Insley Of
this city made up an exhibit of James
River Valley products to take to
the fair at Charlottesville, Ind. A paper
now comes from that city with an extend
ed notice OF The Dakota exhibit, which
will do great deal in the way of adver-
Using our valley in that vicinity. That
part of Indiana has already furnished .
number of good citizens for Stutsman
county who will be followed next year by
many more of the same sort. The pro.
ductlons of this country are matter Of
wonderment to the people back IN the
states, and i, is not to bc wondered at that
such Is the case, for Dakota has heen re-
sarded as III the Great American Desert,
and by many intelligent people looked
upon as uuluhablted and uninna bltable,
except by the wild buffalo and savage In.
uians. lhe exhibits that have been sent
out this year have fully corroborated the
most exlravagant statements made by the
newspapers, which statements have NO.
oeen believed IN cne-half they published
.elatlve t.. the country until their declsra-
tlons were coniemed by the actual pro-
ducts OF the country.

The jamestown Alert says that what
that town wants is "a few good trees or
telegraph poles, from which to suspend
some specimens of its devils for public in

women would be comparatively safe. 1t

The above was copied in the Alert from
the Moorhead items in the Fargo Repub-
lican, vas followed BY some comments,
but in making up tho forms the foreman
Inadvertently separated them, which left
the item to appear as original and applying
to this place. The foreman was taken
out and SHOT early the next morning, and
the night editor escaped with his life by
taking the first train for the states. We
hope this eSpiAnetiicn will be sufficient to

stutsman Oounty's Candidate.

At the county convention last Sat
urday evening Mr. Nickeus was with fiat
,ering unanlmlty designated as the choice
Of the republican party Of tbs county for
that position, in view Of which fact the
Alert deems it proper to give few of
the points in his history that indicate the
education. both commercial and political,
ne has had, that would be of great value
and advantage to him in the halls of leg
lslation. He was brought up and educated
IN the public schools of Washington City,
and is scholar Of many superior accom-
plishments. AS clerk in store he ac-
4ulred good commercial education. From
This he entered upon a clerkship in the
Uni.ed States Senate, in which situation
he acquired thorough knowledge of the
various tactics used IN securing desired
legislation, and of parliamentary practice
as exeuplltied in the greatest aud grand
est legislative body in the world. In
1880 MIR Nickeus came to jamestown and
engaged in the practice of law, having
taken g course of study in
Washington City. At the election
IN 1881 he was elected clerk of the district
court, which position he has filled with
credit and honor both to himself and the
people who elected him; and who have
evidenced their respect for HIM as man
and a citizen, and confidence in his lnteg-
rlty and ability as an officer, by the unan-
unity with which they selected him as a
candidate to present before the conven-
tion to-day for representative in the ter
nrial legislature. MIR. Nickeus IS fluent
speaker, an able lawyer, aud possesses
thoses rare social qualities which would
II once give him prominence and intiu
ence as = member of legislative body.

A Tribute to Col, McCaruer,

Col. j. M. McCarter of this city was
the gallant colonel Of the old Gard
Regiment Pennsy lvania Volunteers
Z hich did such effective service il
putting down the rebellion. The Colo
dress in tle town of Lebanon where he
recruited his regiment, on decoration
day which announcement has called
forth the following from the Lebanon
Courier of May oath:
Tie annuu, cement that Col. McCar.
ter will deliver the Decoration address
in Lebanon, ,on next Tuesday afternoon,
insures large gathering on the occa'
sion.
The frey oratory of the little Colonel
always strikes responsive chord in the
hearts of his hearers. Those OF Leb
anon whose memories run back to the
stirring times Of 1861, will recall the
ringing appeals to patriotism and
the anathemas that was hurled at trea
sou in the old Methodist church on
Tenth street where Col. McCarter, then
the pastor of the congregation worship
ing there, made as eloquent appeals
for the punishment of treason and pre-.
servation of the Union. as Peter the
Hermit did for the rallying of the brave
Knights of old for the rescue of the
holy Land from the polluting hands
of the Infidel. In the score of years
passed since then, men have grown
older, and their feelings have become
less intense, but they Will listen with
delight to an eloquent retelling of the
story of "the days that tried mems

mander Of the gallant old 93i. Colonel
McCarser is now engaged in compiling
an excellent Cyclopedia of Delaware
to be published by the Aldine publish.

Congress YeSterday.

In the U. s. Senate yesterday, Mr.
Jackson, of the Committee on PensionI
said that the Mexican War and Other
pension bills would probably be report
ed next week. A Senate bill for re-
imbursemept of the Creek Orphan Fund
amounting to S251, 1852, was discussed
and went over. The Japanese Indem
nifty Fund bill was taken up, and Mr.
Morgan ex Explained aud advocated it.
1t directs the President to pay to the
Government of Japan the 81, ,5l6, 1864
now held as such fund by the State
Depar tment and, further, to pay
$254, 900 of the fund as prize money to
the officers and crew Of the U. s. ship
Wyoming for services In 1863. The bill
was opposed by Mr.. Jones, Of Florida,
and went over without action. After
an executive session the Senate ad.
journed.
In the House, the struggle on the
South Carolina contested case of Mac key
vs.. Dibble was resumed, the Democrats
continuing their "flibustering' to
prevent action on the case. Two or
three times the Republicans secured a
quorum in voting on the dilitory mo
tions, but soon lost the advantage.
AT B o'clock recess was taken until
8, when the struggle was again resum.
ed; but, nothing being accomplished, a
motion TO adjourn was carried at 10
o'clock. During the afternoon session
q message was received from the Presi-
dent asking legislation on the subject
of the Venezuelan awards. The Presi.
dent enclosed Communication on the
subject from the Secretary of State,
and says: II earnestly invite the at
tention of Congress to this communica-
tion. In case neither House takes
action on 1t during the present Congress
l shall feel 1t my duty to direct that
til IS prolonged discu .sion be definitely
by recognizing the absolute
of all the awards
