society at Grand Forks. 1t was the most
complete success of the kicd ever seen in
the place. James Vibrant ard Chas-
MeDonald we're Tao fortunate winners of
articles specially usef;l in g family.
James was voted the popular young
gentleman by 500 majority.
There are intimstions that Rev. ". D.
Walker will decline 20 leave his church in
New York city to aceeps thu Episcopal
bishopic of North Dakota. The reports
in regard to him have created much
anxiety for his acceptance. This is
specially the case at Fargo, which would
no doubt bs his headquarters, and where
he has old personal friends.
Bismarck figures up quite little boom
this year, with over $1,ooo,00o expended in
new buildings, not counting the capitol.
The Tribune also counts the population at
1900, allowing five persons for each resi-
dence and boarding house. This is an in
crease OF 1000 since last year. This Is
certainly good showing, whether the
capital is a fixture there or not.
A man named G. B. Hall, in Grand
Forks county, has become insane by read
captured by the deputy sheriff rowing away
from home at Marvel. Cases of dementa-
tion from that cause are not likely to be
numerous in. Dakota. Possibly sppre-
hensions of this sort may have induced
the Fargo Argus to abandon the puolica-
tion of pulpit discourses.
From the weekly crop reports from the
region of No. hard, collected for the
Fargo Sunday Argus, a few items arc con
Gensed. Lisbon reports the acreage pIow-
ed for wheat in thai township largely in
excess Of last year, with the season scarce
Iy as favorable. The writer says The gold
excitement is Unabated. Parties were out
ell last night stalking claims. Half the
townsite is covered with claims. Ada,
Mimi, reports plowing half finished, and
weather favorable.
Mention has been made of the unusual
hunt of the Indians of Standing Rock
agency. Some 5000 Sioux are on the
hunt, and one of them who returned re-
Gently reports that an immense herd OF
buffalo had been struck about eighty miles
west of the agency and one hundred miles
southwest of Bismarck, and 1000 had been
killed the first day, and they expect to
secure at least ten thousand. They cure
the meat and keep it for their winters
use.
The Grand Forks PEaindeaIer has a
doubling Thomas. He says the coal we'll
was salted. That the we'll diggirs found
rock down in the well, and in order to
make it cut easier put in soma oil. Some
one else got on to the racket and pat IN a
IL l. s.l4 of Nat4
24th. The next day the announcement
was made that oil had been struck at
Mimic. The people went wild and rushed
down there to see the big bonanza, bring
ing along dippers, pans, pals and every
| thing else to get some of the oil. The ex-
citement still runs high, even higher than
the gold excitement at Lisbon.
It is reported from Batbgate in Penn .
bana county, that one night the past week
as man named Frank Lamis, with Chas.
Gravelin who was in his employ, were
driving home from q place out IN the
mountains west, they lost the road and
drove into small slough or cooiie. The
bottom was soft ana the water was about
three feet in depth. Lamis got out on
the tongue of the wagon to unlooss the
4tC4 cCS HAkC44 S'Li4ALtCiISNN u
and knocked him Off Into the water and he
was drowned. The horses dropped dead
! IN their tracks. The locality was over two
miles from house and Gravelin did not
d=re to leave the wagon, where he was
found the next morning nearly des3 from
exposure. Mr.. Lamis leaves a family.
Ths East Grand Forks Courier tells
story at the expense OF Hugh and Tom
Mcdonald, brothers and farmers in that
vicinity. As a large, black bear had been
killed in that neig ghborhood, they conclud-
ed that it must have mate about and they
laid for it, spending many nights in am
bush. A few nights since their perseve-
rance seemed to meet with reward. .SSAcross
al embankment thrown up for q ditch
they discovered large black object which
was evidently the object of their search.
They crawled near on hands and knees
and when the back of the supposed bruin
appeared above the bank they poured G
death dealing volley into it. Apprehen-
sive that the animal in its death struggle
might rend them, they dropped their guns
and ran home for their lives. Concentrating
their courage upon the occasion they went
out to bring in the corpse, which proved to
be fine heiter belonging to them. They
don't care for bears any more.
