Mr.. and Mrs. Weights suit OF rooms
consist of four. The first, a sitting
room, next to the street; the second a
bed room, the third an office and the
fourth u bath room. at about half
past 8 O'Clock p. M, M. W. was en-
gagged at work in his office, his wife be-
ing in the room back of him. All at
once, and directly in front of him, he
heard the door open quickly, which
startled him some. Looking up he OBJ
serued the face of a young man with
his hat on, the man himself looking
somewhat startled, or It least surpris-
ed, and the following conversation took
place:
Burglar-"Is Mr.. Howell IMP"
Mr.. Wright-"I don't know Mr..
Howell"
B.-"whyl these rooms are hi, are
they notP"
Mr.. VINO; they are not"
BIZ supposed of course they we're
Mr.. Howell's, from his description
and, going to the door of the front
room, found it open and stepped in.
Finding no one in, L walked right
through expecting to find him in here.
| am very sorry l took the liberty OF
walking through your apartmentsl"
Here he ~apologised p~rofusely for the
intrusion, and wound up by saying
he supposed they were Mr.. Howell's.
Then, in the most polite and suave
manner, he asked permission of Mr..
Wright to go through to the hall. way
by the office door, all of which was
granted. While Mr.. Wright thought the
matter a little impertinent, he did not
for a moment comprehend the Dature
of the visit. In a moment after a
Chinaman appeared to collect a wash
ing bill. On Mrs. Wright going to the
bed room, where her purse was, found
it open and what money it contained
"a few dollars-gone. Her suspicious
were at once aroused and looking about
including a bunch of keys, three
in number. The watch had with it a
gentleman's gold chain. There was
not a trunk or drawer in the room that
had not been turned topsy-tGrvy, all Of
which must have been done in the
course of ten OF fifteen minutes, and
very quietly, for be it understood Mr..
Wright was sitting in the ext room
quietly writing. The watch gone is a
neat and valuable one, enameled In
black, aud is worth about $3.50.
AS a matter of course Mr.. Wright,
during his conversation with the thief
had abundance opportunity to observe
his general get up. He is about FIVE
feet six inches in height, smooth, color
less face, with rather prominent month;
weighs about 1875 pounds, and is be-
lieved to be about % years of age.
Complexion light and hair approaching
to lightness. Mr.. Wright did not take
much note of his eyes as his hat rim
shaded them. He wore a dark sack
coat with a light brown thread in the
cloth. Pantaloons thought to be of the
same material as the coat. Button
shoes with heavy solss, pretty well
worn and ~unblacked, His dia-
lect and pronunciation were
that of what is frequently to be
found among his class in New
York city. The keys taken with the
watch are, one Yale, a postoaice and
outside bedroom key. Workmen dur
ing the morning were engaged in the
front room fixing the steam heating
apparatus. Mrs. Wright remembers
distinctly that, after having put the

A DEXTEROUS THIEF.
A Bold, Sly and Successful Undertaking.

A robbery occurred yesterday after
noon which, for audacitY and slyness,
exceeds anything that the LEADER has
been called upon to chronicle for some
time past. 1t occurred in the roonso of
the +. E. Warren block, above the
door a suit of rooms are occupied by j.
p. Crosson and wife and an adjoining
room by ]. p. Selle, well known as
being engaged in General David's Office.
On the floor above another suit Of
rooms are occupied by @. w. Wright,
attorney for the stockgrowers' associa-
ton, also a cattleman, and wife. 1t
was in these rooms that the robbery
took place. Though there was no very
great loss of property, yet for expedi-
tious and thorough work in the business
of pilfering it is evident a skilled rogue
was on hand.
With reference to the rooms of Mr..
Crosson, it has been the habit of his
wife that when she went out to conceal
the key OF the door under the rug
which lies in the hallway. Yesterday
she went out at about l p. m. to make
calls. At about 6 Mr.. Crosson came 10
the room. and, reaching for the key,
was unable TO find it at 6rst in the dark,
but finally found it much displaced.
He thought nothing of the displace-
ment and went into the room. Some
time after Mrs. Crosson came in and
then for the first time they discovered
that they had been robbed. A neat
and valuable gold chain and gold ring
were missing from the dressing case,
and there were evidences showing that
the drawers had undergone an inspec.
ton from parties unknown.
AS stated, Mr.. Selle occupies an ad-
joining loom. During the afternoon
he came in to find the door leading tc
the .Crosson room open, his trunk open,
the inside lying on the floor, q general
disturbance of his personal effects and
two pocket books gone, both Of which
contained papers of no value to a thief.
A small port monnaie, containing @
few East India coins, with a tight CLASP
was torn open at both sides; but the
coins left. Mr.. Selle was puzzled about
finding his 20 door open and the con.
dition of his trunk, but supposed he
had done it himself. He did not mis-:
his property until he thought of exam.
ing, after he heard of the other robber'
les. Except the two pocket books Mr..
Selle is not aware of anything else hav.
ing been taken. One of the missing
pocket books contained certain mining
shares.

A Prehistoric Cemetery.

Mandan Pioneer: 1.-TWO miles from
Mandan, on the bluffs near the juno
ton of the Hart and Missouri rivers,
is an old cemetery of fully 100 acres in
extent filled with bones Of a giant race.
This vast city of the dead lies just east
Of the Fl. Lincoln road. The ground
has the appearance of having been
filled with trenches piled full of dead
bodies, both man and beast, and COW
cred with several feet of earth. In
many places mounds from eight to ten
feet high and some Of them 100 feet or
more in length, have been thrown up
and are filled with bones, broken pot
terry, vases Of various bright colored
hints and agates. The pottery is of a
dark material, beautifully decorated,
delicate iii finish and as light as wood,
showing the work of a people skilled
in the arts and possessed of a high
state of civilization. This has evident
ly been a grand battlefield where thous-
ands Of men and horses have fallen.
Nothing like a systematic or intelligent
exploration has been made, as only lit
tie holes two or three feet in depth
have been dug in some Of the mounds
but many parts Of the anatomy Of man
and beast, and beautiful specimens of
broken pottery and other %curiosities,
have been found in these feeble efforts
at excavation. Five miles above Man
dan, on the opposite side of the Mis-
souri,, Is another vast cemetery as yet
unexplored. We asked an aged Indian
what his people knew Of these ancient
g%raveyards. Tie answered: "Nte know
nothing about them. they were here
before the Red man."

Swindling.

The dominant desire of this age of
many wants is to get something for
nothing. If it is only possible to get
possession Of what really belongs to
another without rendering an equiva-
lent-either in shape Of bonus, getting
work done for less than its value, or
on account of some real or supposed
benefit OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES succeeds
to unrest and the individual thinks he
or she has gained much. Not only is
this custom tolerated by business men
upon business principles, where the eX-
ira spool Of cotton or card of buttons
determines the purchaser at what es-
Enlistment trading shall he done next,
but there are transactions going on
daily in which no business sagacity or
courage in making ventures has any
part. Business rules count for moth
ing and the business man is placed on
Il level with the rustic. OF this class
:tre all the thousand and one lotteries
and chance enterprises that are going
to at once make every one who invests
their money in them wealthy; to such
an extent has this swindling been 60
ing on that the general government in
many instances has felt called upon to
step in and protect the simple minded
from loss.
When the matter is considered in it's
true light the question naturally arises:
should the government try to prevent
theperson from being swindled? There
must OF necessity be two parties to the
t~ransaction-a sucker" to bite as well
as an angler after bites;-one of them
says send me your money and | will
send you more than it's value. The
other in effect says: Send me for en-
closed check more property than this
will really buy. Had they not both
agreed, each to wrong and defraud the
other, there would have been no com
m%unication between the parties and
consequently no need Of the law inter-
posing between them.
This same principle holds good in So
':iety and in the church; not only do
society people put IN airs and by their
appearance strive to make a better i'm
preston on and get q better opinion
from their associates than they are re-
ally entitled to, hat the same Is true In

Homestead Entries.

Under the instructions relative to
entries, under the homestead, pre-emp-

promulgated by the General Land Of

prescription settlers on unsurveyed
lands should be allowed three months
after the filing Of the township plat of
survey in which to put their claims
upon record, and that no party should
be permitted to make final proof in any
case until after the expiration Of this
time. This rule was, however, modi-
flied by the Commissioner of the Cen
eral Land Office in u dispatch to the
Register and Receiver at st. Cloud, in
STRUGGLING them to allow certain parties
to perfect their entries, who have al
ready given published notice to make
final proof thereon, prior to the expira-
ton Of three months from filing Of the
