office, while punishment Of crimes, Of
polygamy is left as under the former
law to the courts of justice. Under the
anti-pelygamy act the commissioners had
good success at the general election IN
august 1883 in excluding polygamists
from the polls and as far as advised very
few if any illegal votes had been cast il
Utah. Since the commission took charge
Of registration and elections in August
1882 the enforcement Of the present law
against twelve thousand polygamists who
have been excluded from the polls shows
the act has been fully executed. II is4
thought the discrimination between Nor

who do not, while net likely to have ef-
feet on elderly men who already have 9
number Of wives and several families,
must have some weight with the young.

and would not like to embrace political

WAHPEToN, Oct. 3O-Conslderable ex.
cltement was created here to-day on &C.
count Of the trouble between the Fargo
Southern and the st. Paul, Minneapolis
s. Manitoba officials. Some fourteen cars
of material for the Southern were at
Wahpeton this morning when General
Manager Kindred arrived from Fargo
and rendered freight money for freight
bills which was refused and Immediately
transferred across the Red river into
Minnesota. Superintendent Of cons.ruc-
ton Hanley had force of men last
night and succeeded In unloading about
dozen cars of ties standing on the
Fargo Southern siding, and this morniog
Supt. Kemp, of the Manitoba, arrived
with some 200 men and the tics were
replevled. The Fargo Southern re-
bounded and took possession and then
the sheriff took possession and loaded
them and they are now IN his possession.
The Fargo Southern people charge,
that the sheriff was paid money by tho
Manitoba. and his one-sided action in
their faver indicates 1t. The Manitoba
folks had Hanley and Gregg, the Fargo
Southern agents, arrested for grand laf-
ceny, and the fight seems only to have
begun. 1t is asserted the ManltohA
agent, St. John, will be arrested and
taken before the United States csurt C
Fargo for perjury. The sympathy ef our
people is with the Fargo Southern. First,
because they are anxious for an lndepend-
ant outlet over the two pool lines and
further that the Fargo Southern has Z
