Tuttle's Trumpery.

The Mandan Pioneer, the paper
that guards the interests () of the
West Missouri country, has devoted
a large portion of its space, during
the latter part of last and the most of
this week towards the injury of Dick.
inson. Every issue since last Satur-
day has contained a batch of sensa-
tional lies in regard to the trouble
had here last week with three ruff
fans. The Pioneer we'll knows that
such sensational articles do a town
and country great injury and thereby
proves itself an enemy to the West
Missouri country and especially Dick
inson. The Pioneer of Saturday says
.nineteen deputy sheriffs were sworn
in but failed to render much assist
ance, the cowboys threatening their
lives with revolvers and Winchester
rifles" The deputy sheriffs We're
ready to capture the men at any time
and were on the street for that pur'
pose, but the COW boys had disap-
peared and it was not known until
the next day that they had been
hiding in q cellar on the outskirts of
the town. "Four cowboys UNDER
took to clean out the town. and the
fob was none too great for them.
Some who were told to git obeyed
and sgot;;' all who were d%isobedient
were thrown out. But what a queer
lot of people Dickinson must possess
to allow four cowboys to overawe
them. We are informed on the most
reliable authority that seventeen de-
putty shcriffs started out with hands
on their guns to arrest one-a paltry
nnit-cowboy. He stood on the
street corner, Illuminating on the fiery
state of Dickinson whiskey. and when
he turned his gaze upon the oncom-
ing crowd of sheriffs, they halted
quicker than a fash" The above
is quoted from Sundays Pioneer and
is another of Tuttle's misrepresenta-
lions. The citizens here were not
ssoverawed' and the seventeen depu-
ty sheriffs did not start out to arrest
one cowboy and halt as soon as he
turned his gaze upon them.
The Pioneer a short time since sent
out a stirring appeal for the suppress
sion of the Police Gazette, yet it only
falls short of a Police Gazette itself
in proportion as it lacks ability to
run such a paper. The action of the
Pioneer is condemned by all respect
able people in this section Of the
West Missouri country and the oon
er it learns to stick to the truth in
such matters the better it will be
for it.

Senator Edmunds having resigned

fore Judge Wylie. John A. Walsh
was called as a witness, but did not

counsel moved to postpone the trial
till he be produced. This being op
posed by kellogg's counsel the Judge
took the papers and said he would
decide the point to-day. What a DO.
nanza the star route cases have been
for the lawyers. 1t is doubtful if the
star reuters made as much out of
'expediting" as the lawyers have and
will before the matter is settled. 1t
is all very we'll to say 'let the guilty
suffer-" but the trouble is they don't
seem to suffer to any great extent,
the treasury only seems to do the suf-
fering act.
When Gen. Rosencrans, of Califor-

and provides if they are first and Sec

This is probably the "joker," for to

it is.

Why They Go.

1t is astonishing to observe the
eagerness with which a few eastern
newspaper daubers will grasp at the
slenderest pretense to attack the
fame of Dakota. Some that have
been apparently alternating for years
spring to life as if goaded with a bare
bodkin, at the mere mention of a jar
in the %pervading harmonies of the
territorial machinery, and write with
a vlgor that knows no ceasing until
Webster has been ransacked from
cover to cover for disparaging terms.
They filled their sheets with innuen.
dos when the wheat crop was in a
precarious condition, they took pains
to circulate a libel concerning her
products, and now, last of all, they
are exerting themselves to the ut
most to make people believe that the
usual exodus from Dakota this fall to
caste Ell homes is an indication that
both she and her resources have been
unduly magnified, and that general
dissatisfaction prevails among her
people. Nothing could be more er-
roneous. Doubtless there are some
restless spirits who never know con.
tentment, that will tell in their east
ern stopping-places of the want and
woe experienced by the average Da-
kotan, but listen to the story of the
honest farmer who left of his power
ty nothing behind him but warm
hearted friends, and note how differ
ent the pictures. Hear his pockets
jingle with yellow gold garnered
from the mellow loan, and nothing
but praise for the glorious country
that gave him an INDEPENDENCE will
be heard from his lips. Around the
tiresides of his friends he will relate
the wonders of the bounteous terri
tory, and Tom. George and Harry,
young men who have listened to the
glowing recital, will form a resolu.
ton to come west and carve for them
selves homes, and accumulate for
tunes. The n man becomes a nu-
cleus, around whom will gather a
score of industrious followers, who at
the first Indication of spring will
plant themselves permanently upon
Uncle Sans Offering of 800 acres of
the best tillable soil. That is what
the vast majority leave in the fall
for. They are successful missiona.
ries, whose mission it is to dot the
prairies with independent h%abitations
to multiply the nightly rays from
happy homes to the number of daz-
cling stars in the trmanert, and offer
peace and plenty to the careworn and
furnishing in eastern hovels.-San.
