sent from Merrill to drive them ont of their hid

men is 81, 600. Having b. en- shot by one of bis

ment for . brakeman, Mcdonald was placed in
Jail at Van Buren, and betrayed himself to-day,
according to special telegram to the Gazette,to
relative who went into the Jail andpretended to
be prisoner. The plan was 10 rob the passen-
gers, but in the excitement and promiscuous
shooting the train started off and the robbers
jumped to the ground. He offers to conduct
the officers to cave in which they were if they
will permit him to turn states evidence Su-

A Fru1tless Mission>

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Detective Browning,
of st. Louis, who arrived some five or six weeks
ago in pursuit of John Shea, young man
wanted for the murder of Police Officer Patrick
Doran, of that city, returned home to day. hsv-
ing failed in his purpose. Shea broke Jail in
November, 1882, and came to this city, where
he has been lurkingarou till Detective Rrcwn-
ing arrived. Finding the officer in pursuit
of him, he at once, through the aid of his
friends, left the city and has not been seen
since. When Officer Browning made applica-
tion to our magistrates and courts here for .
warrant to arrest Shea he was denied that priv
ilege in every for the reason that he was not
armed with requisition from the governor OF
his state. his only papers being an indictment
by the grand jury Of st. Louis. Yesterday Capt.
We, non went with Detective Browning to Judge
Carter to procure such warrant to leave here
with the police department SO thst in the event
of Shea being seen he may be arrested and held
for rtquisition from Missouri, but Judge
Carter denied warrant, stating that he had no
authority to issue it on an indictment from any
state grand juriee. Under this state of things
this district may become city of refuge for all
the murdcrers and felons in the country.

The River.

The boats at the Bismarck landing are the
Emily, Big Horn, Benton, Dacotah, Butte and
North Pacific Transfer. These boats are now
free, and ready for the breakup. From a.
m. yesterday till 6 p. N. the river raised fifteen
inches. The water along shore is three feet tdeep
on the ice. On the chanuel the ice has raised
with the current.
The ice bridge at Blair, Ia, where Eneineer
Morrison is building the big bridge for the Sioux
City & Pacific railaoad. went ont on the 9Th inst.
Miles City Press, 9th: The ancients showed
singular perspicuity in personifying rivers a.
belonging to the feminine gender. Their W. ia
bleness and uncertainty of conduct, their inn
petuOsity under attempted restraint, their depth
Of character. and the danger that Turks under
their seeming placidity and smoothness, may
we'll have inspired the poetical notion. The
Tongue river seems to be anxious of sustaining
the conceit. Although during the greater cart
of the year quiet, inofenrive, inefficient and
somewhat shallow stream, there are periods when
it rises to the sublimity of q torrent, and like
an iufuriated person, presses onward IN defiance
Of obstacles. Such il the etate of that river tOs
day. The ice which had been lying quiesoent
on its surface for several d%ys past broke loose
again suddenly last evening ard vas swept im-'
petuously past the town shaking the Main street
bridge from end to end and threatening to tear
it away from its piers. But about nine o'clock
the tide suLsided. This morning the ice began
runnirg again. and at noon crowd coll cted on
the banks to witness the demolition OF the
bridge. They we're, however, happily doomed
to disappointment. The structure creaked and
swayed back and forth AZ the floating fields of
ice struck it. or scraped against it's timbers, but
it was too strongly put together to be destroyed.
During the afternoon Major Logan with party
Of soldiers from Fort KeoRh, tore up the flooring
of the bridge, opening the ma span tor the
passage of the ice. At the present writing there
is : considerable body Of ioe blocked iu the
channel Of the river, but aa the current OF the
stream appeais to run with ito accustomed ve-
loclty, there seems to be little reason to appre-
hend any overflow. If such should OCCUR, it
would not be likely to cause damage in the
town, beyond flooding the lower districts in the
direction of the sawmilL Mr.. Routher and
ChsrIey Brown and other gentlemen who have
been giving the matter their special coDsidera-
tion. have been steadily on the alert through
the day and We are. assured BY them that there
Is no doubt that the river will free itself from
ice without damaging the residents Along lts
banks. 3s

A )akotaian In Brooklyn,

D6AVG1A6b4 In 1DxVVAAyAs
[Stanley Huntley in Brooklyn Esgle.]
"But." demonstrated the New Utrecht farmer,
when the Dakota agriculturist had finished his
description of enormous farms, big crops and
corresponding profits, ''but You only have few
weeks of farming weather; what do you do
through the fall, winter and spring? During
all that time your investment is lying idle"
'Stranger," retorted the Dakota man with .
look of commseration, stranger, was You ever
located in that neck o. the wo0ds?"
The New Utrecht man admitted, for the sake
Of the argument, that he had never been in
them parts to speak of.
"Have We ever been anywhere to see farmin'
except down on your own bean patch?" de-
manded the Dakota man, following up his ad-
vantage.
The New Utrecht man conceded that he hadn't
been about Gas much ~ some"
SWELL, I'll put you on to the way in which we
make money all the year round. Why, cir, last
winter sold the snow on my farm for what it
cost me to fodder my stock! It's true, sir. And
worse than that, it was finer quality of snow
than anybody ever raised in that section be-
FORE"
Didn't it all fall at the same timer" asked
the New Utrecht man, incledulously,
:. You bet it did," replied the Dakota man.
'But the rest of 'em didn't see any money in
snow, and they just neglected the finest crop of
snow that ever fell in that part of the country"
The New Utrecht man looked around in .
mystifed way.
lyon don't mean to say that You have to
cultivate snow up in that part of the country?''
he exclaimed.
.You don't exactly cultivate it, but you've got
to weed it and pive it water, haven't you?" and
he regarded the New Unecht man with glance
of undirguised disgust. You don't suppose
you can get any better crop Of anything, unless
you pay some attention to it, do you?
J What do You do in the spring3" inquired the
New Utrecht man, ignoring the last question.
"We do business, sir," retOrted the Dakota
man, loftily. "You may think it strange that
men should do business at any season of the
year, but we do more business in the spring
than we do in century. Last spring, sir, I
sold enough mud Of my farm to pay for al my
seed wheat and lesye me mavgin for six or
seven hundred bead Of stock besides. ! tell
You, We farm ont in in our region, and the
Dakota man stretched himself ont and sased
benignly on the New Utrecht man.
Must be good country" murmnred The

LONDON, March 15.-In the university boat
race, the Oxfords bad the best of an uneven
start. They pulled regular stroke, nearly
forty to the minute, and were almost clear of
the Cambridge boat at Queens Steps, about six
furlongs from the start. The Cambridge boat
here detected toward the Mddlesex shore. The
Oxfortls at the end of the first mile, which they
covered in 4 min. Is sec two lengths ahead, and
rowing we'll together. Here the darkness thick
ened and snow began to fall, The Cambridge
crew we're splashing considerably by the time
the soap works were reached. At Hammersmith
bridge, one and three-quarter miles from Put
ney, the Cambridge crew were nine seconds be-
hind the Oxforda. At Chiswick, three.qua ters of
4 mile further, they were only four lengths
astern and going better. A violent hail storm
here broke upon the crews. The Cambridge
eight quickened their speed. but when Corney
was reached, it was evidently over with them.
The Oxfords came in easy winners. The result
causes greater excitement than any previous
race, in consequence of heavy betting on the
Cambridge crew, who at the start were favor
ties ut seven to two. The defeat of crew
on whom such odds were laid is unprecedented.
