In recent fight at Moberly, Mo-, with
the Cook brothers, the ladies greatly aided
in the capture of the desperadoes. An eye
witness says that for long time the fee
ing desperadoes kept their unarmed puE-
suers at bay by firing back at them, but the
ladies all along the line came out with
their husbands revolvers and shotguns and
handed them over to mounted men, who
soon brought the desperadoes to account.
One citizen thus hurriedly armed shot one
| of the desperadoes, and as the latter turned
on him the citizen knocked him from his.
horse with the empty gnn.

Nellie Lincoln Rossiter, who is only
fifteen years of age, is now holding an ex

is gayly decorated. Around the sides are
arranged tables containing various articles
of interest, the most attractive of which
are cocoons, and grelt profusion of
pretty objects made of the silks. Near
the center of the room are two silk reels
and pan or basin in which the raw floss
is separated from the cocoons. In glass
jars are cocoons from every state in the
Union. These, in size and shape resemble
nothing so much as peanuts, and in color
they vary from creamy white to pale
lemon. One jar of cocoons is especially
interesting by reason of the fact that it is

Children, spun by worms raised entirely

How the Official Birds in Their Little Nests
Don't Agree by a Large Majority--The
Indictments Against the County Commits
siOners and Treasurer.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
FARGO, D. T., Jan. 3.-There is quite an
excitement here among some of the politi-
cal fiends, as it leaked out to-day that
sixty eight indictments had been found by
the grand jury against Mr.. Brooks, chair
man of the county board of commission
ers, and forty eight against P. P. Nokken,
the present county treasurer of this coun-
ty. In this thriving city of Fargo
there happens to be two
morning daily papers, and each has q
following in political as we'll as other
matters, and it seems that the faction led
by Brooks and the Republican of this place
have had county matters pretty much
their own way and very recently $4,000
of the county funds have been disbursed
by this crowd for the building of county
Jail.
These funds were all disbursed without
any regard to the usual legal way by
warrants drawn on the county treasurer,
but simply paid upon some kind of a
voucher issued by Brooks on the county
treasurer, and now the grand jury have
found the above number of indictments
against this liberal disburser of county
funds for this and other causes.
1t is alleged that Brooks and Nokketi
are liable to have some trouble about this
matter, as it is the opinion of some they
quietly made some money for themselves
out of this transaction. But if they did,
it cannot probably be proven, and your
correspondent gives it for what it is worth.
The statement above made about the
indictments was made by one of the grand
jurors, and although nothing has been
made public here yet, it is liable to be
soon through the Daily Argus. A. W.
Edmunds of the Argus is making the own
ers of the Daily Republican some trouble
with his libel suit, and they are spending
some money IL hunting evidence to cor
roborate some of the statements made pri
or to the recent campaign detrimental to
the character and reputation of this heavy
weight gentleman who claims his fair
name has been injured to the tune of $50
600. The grand jury have not finished
their work yet as they are overhauling the
county accounts and propose to make a
thorough and complete investigation OF
the county affairs before they make their
final report.

There is a legend to the effect that
Speaker Fletcher, on certain time not
many years back, telegraphed back from
Winnipeg that he was in shell of a fix"
The reporter does not pretend to know just
the situation Fletcher was in at that
time, but the reporter feels
confident that if he could
be induced to express his own idea of the
situation he is in now, in the matter of the
appointment of the house committees, he
would say that in comparison he was hav-
ing really jovial time when in Winnipeg,
the pressure upon him for positions upon
the various committees being simply ter
rible. For instance, one member has put
in claim for the craftsmanship of the
committee on ways and means, finance and
public buildings, and place on three 9th
er committees, while some other members
are little more modest in their demands.

SENATE.

A siult and dnintaresting session OF The
senate was held Yesterday, the net result OF
which was to reconsider the vote whereby
the senate had resolved to meet the house
in Joint session for the purpose of counting
the votes for supreme and dist%ct court
Judges. 1t appears that the Legislature
don't count the votes for judges of the su-
preme court, and when the senators got
posted on the law relating to that subject
they reconsidered.
The carpenters are at work making a
partition across the wide approach to the
senate chamber so as to interrupt the
blasts of air complained of by Senator
Doran and others on Tuesday.
Numerous contractors and builders Wig
tied the capitol yesterday to inspect that
atrocious structure, and all express the
opinion that the GLOBES criticism of yes
terday was none to severe, if, indeed
it was not actually mild. Some builders
say that under the superintendent OF an
intelligent ARCHITECT the capitol can be re-
arranged internally so as to accommodate
the legislature and state officers reasonably
we'll One builder thought that the tower
could be rebuilt so as to be not only safer
but to answer as a light-shaft and thus
considerably increase the amount of room
on both floors.
Many senators are averse to expressing
their opinions and preferences on the SEN
atorial question, merely saying that their
neighbors appear to know more about
their minds than they do themselves,
leaving the impression that good manage
ment on the part of the opposition. would
result in the defeat of Window.

GribbIe a Citizen.

In the United States circuit court yes
terday morning Judge Nelson considered
the motion to strike out part OF the
answer in the case of Edwin r. Gribble
against the Pioneer Press company. The
plaintiff, Mr.. Gribble, was put on the stand
and examined on the question of citizen
ship. The examination showed that the
father of the witness, although native of
England, had come to this country at an
early day, and that he had been
naturalized at Pittsburg on
Oct. 80, 1888, the witness at that time be-
ing under twenty-one years of age. AS
conc fusion the court held that the case did
now come under the jurisdiction of the
United States court, but that the case
should be heard il the district court. The
case was remanded bat no order was made.
This is the frst-blood for Gribble. and now
look out for music by the full band.
