river about ten days ago, it ls learned
that the Indians III that vicinity we're in
very discontented condition. The
Chief cause of dissatisfaction seemed to
be lack of food, and loud complaints
were uttered against Mr.. Snyder, the
agent, who, it was claimed, withheld the

gardly manner, although there was q
large stock on hand in the warehouse.
So incensed, indeed had the Indians be-
come at his management that they sent
messenger to Capt. Read, in command

whether he would interfere in case they

ing malcontents.
1t was reported that the Indians were
leaving the agency in small parties, the
ayowed purpose Of many of them being
to go to Standing Rock agency, where
they expected to get full rations and
ample supplies of food for all. There
was no disposition on the part of the of.
ticers at Poplar to blame Mr.. Snyder, the
agent in charge, for the scantiness Of the
rations, as he simply obeyed the orders
of the Indian office in distributing the
supplies on hand. No serious trouble il
anticipated, and the movement from the
| agency, which is thought to be exagger
ated, is considered to be an attempt or
the part of certain hungry fellows to gel
more food either by hunting or going tc

The editor of the Valley City Times
has recently been assessed six cents by
. Barnes county jury under charge OF
libel. The article was brought for dam.
ages amounting to $4,000. In the
charge given by Judge Hudson occurs
the following paragraph which is inter.
esting to newspaper publishers:
Now, gentlemen, after you have set
tied these questions you must then con.
slider the evidence given by the defend
ants tending to show justification In
these actions of libel the defendants have
legal right to justify the use OF Ian
gusge by showing by evidence that wha,
they have published Was true, which
they seek to do in this case, and if the,
have satisfied you by evidence that all
these publications which charge The
plaintiff with crime or would lead per
sous to believe he had committed 6
crime for which he could be imprison &c
were true at the time they were made
then the defendants are not liable and
the plaintiff cannot recover. But wher
the proof Of the truth of the chargs /,
attempted by way OF Justification, il
must be full and as broad as the charge
and each identical charge must be me-
aud shown to be true else the justifica
ton will not avail the defendants. L
may not be necessary to show that til,
words were true in all particulars aud il
alt circumstances. but that they are sub
stantiauy true.
