taken up. There will be a growing pres
sure then to crowd the Indians from their
reservations or limit them to small areas.
The officers of the Fargo Southern are
very emphatic in denying that the leasing
of track laying implements from the Man
itoba means any collision with that COM
pany. They say the road will be man
aged exclusively by its own officers and
sustain no relations with any other line,
except for convenience or courtesy.
Col. W. C. Plummer, the late editor of
the Republican, has returned from his
claim that he has been holding down by
odd spells the past few months, and it is
said, will go east to spend the winter. He
is great admirer of Gov. Butler, of Mas
sachuserts, grew up quite similarly, and
will probably spend some time visiting
him.
The confidence schemer, whom Sheriff
Phinney, of Becker county, Mimi, trrced
to st. Paul and captured, has been lodged
in jail and Will likely have a chance TO
work for the state. He had victimized
many farmers and is said to have perpe-
trated his nsfarioUs schemes in all parts
of the country. Among his names are
Vim. Leslie and Thos O'NeiI.
Jack Baronette will be in St. Paul in a
few days on his way to Europe on q tour.
He is the famous guide and scout of the
Yellowstone and National park who was
with the presidential party aud has for
thirty nine years roamed the western
country from Mexico to Montana. He is a
small, genial gentleman, a bundle of ro-
mantle experiences and adventures.
1t is said that the government is ship
ping over 10000 pounds OF vegetables,
mostly potatoes, from Ogden, Utah, to
Fort Shaw, Montana, at cost OF five cents
q pound. The local papers claim that all
the potatoes needed could be had at Hell.
ens and other points for one cent pound
and other vegetables in proportion. The
visit of the heads of the government to
this region does not seem to have resulted
n the discovery OF economical methods.
The paper at Lahotu, on DEVILS lake, re-
ports remarkably fine shooting up there,
and the hotels full of sportsmen. Two
parties are said TO have winged forty prai-
RE chickens in an hours shooting. Two
Chicago parties, j. j. Gore and Fl. M.
Johnson, helped kill $50 ducks, geese, brant
and snipe in two days. One of the geese
killed measured from tip to tip six feet six
inches and weighed twenty-five pounds.
Il was evidently an enserine patriarch.
It is reported about town that the high
joints Of both Of the dailies of the city, and
other eminent citizens have lately attend
ed spiritual seances given by Prof Demars,
a recent noted police justice of Chicago,
who IS spending some time here, and that
some of the spirit manifestations were SO
boisterous as TO alarm them and cause a
rapid retreat. The spirit of an Indian
warrior took possession of the athletic
medium and gave the wer-whoop, propos-
posing to commence soalping operations.
A recent dark night boy was supposed
TO be lost On the prairie near the western
line OF Cass county. He started with
team to take hired man to Tower City
Going part way, ne started 10 return and
became bewildered in the darkness and lost
his way. Prairie fires were burning all
about and the horses became frightened.
Then it began to rain and the boy lost all
.race OF the road. The people turned out
to hunt for him, but he drove about in the
rain most OF the night and finally craWIed
under straw stack. He was found in the
morning badly exhausted by his adventure.
At some points in the mining regions of
Montana there is collision and bad feeling
between local miners and new corners
from the west coast, growing out of the
clashing of local laws and customs with
those in vogue in the Pacific mining re-
gions, and from the attempts Of greedy
parties to file upon claims in the name of
mythical proxies. Recently, growing out
Of these causes there was a shooting ARRAY
in camp on Pritchard creek, in which six
men were killed or wounded. The details
are meagre, but the friends of the parties
have taken up the matter and it promises
to result in long and bitter vendetta, as
the local authorities are inefficient.
Recently a special agent of the postal
department visited Fargo to examine into
the adyisability of establishing free de-
livery, as promised by the department. It
is understood that he reported that for the
present IL was inexpedient to establish
that system, IS the streets generally had
no name posted, few of the houses had
numbers and the fact that the chief mails
arrive at such hours that they could not
be delivered by carriers until the next
day. As the postofice is admirably man
eyed, the mails promptly delivered and
access had to the boxes till late hour lie
concluded that the carrier system at pres
ent would not be desirable.
