/ Yes, his name was Pepper, but he wasn't 80 red
hot. He might have drank glass of beer but
he wasn't drunk.
Talk loud and threatening? oh, no; it wasn't
him, must have been sonebndy else Had heard
that there were fighters in Bismarck, but he
wasn't that kind of q man. ..,
!. Did he come from the wild west? No, no, he
was from Jimtown, hal formerly lived in
Fargo and had been raised under the teachings
Of the Argus
: He had been to Sunday school with Edwards,
and to prayer meeting with Jud Lamoure.
Could it be possible that he had made any such
bad breaks as they thought be had. No, thous-
and times no; it was Fargo candle to Bis
marck boom that he hadn't done it. Gould his
honor let him go this time he would leave the
beautiful capital city, would journey east rather
than be confined in the Jail where he might be
contaminated, and be unworthy oflhis friecds
in the Red River valley.
No, said his honor, you take thirty days. It
will cool the fiery red hot storm which SO lately
ragged in your manly form and will give you time
to reflect upon the good words and excellent
examples which your worthy associates in that
eminently moral city of Fargo have given you.

He Wanted Blood.

Andrew Jackson Pepper was brought Tito
court olong with the usual batch of drunks and
disorderlies.
He had the evening before been on a rampage
all along Main street, and had been holy
terror for some time, defying anything in
human shape to lay even one finger on him.
He had requested as q favor that anybody, old
or young, big or little, should even point the end
of a finger at him. His name was Pepper, and
he was red hot. He came from Bitter Creek
and was raging cyclone. He was as sound as
Spanish dollar, and conld knock the back
teeth out of any Bismarck hoodlum that could
or would stand in front of him. He had blood
in his eye and hair on his teeth, and he proposed
to paralyze any galoot who tried to ride on his
neck. He had been held up, struck for his roll,
and taken for sucker, and he was just going to
turn himself loose and be all alone in q minute
A few Little Missouri oaths and considerable
"Fargo breakfast table, talk was interspersed
in and among his elegant Grafton, and he was
a lion, scalper on the war-path whole circus
with three tents and side show, until the law,
in the shape of q Bismarck policeman, quietly
took this red hot pepper cyclone by the back Of
his coat collar and quietly-6eposited him in

The next morning he came up with the batch
of recruits for good advice before his honor.
He had changed. Moses couldn't hold candle

will be on the centre Of the block between Fifth
and Sixth. 1t is by far the most beautiful site
to be found ON the quarter r-section upon which
it is located and is easy Of access from all parts
of the city. In digging here, sub-soil of clay
and hard pan was found, solid enough to sup
port the largest structure possible to build. The
elevation is almost perfect for the arrangement
of attractive grounds, and the view commanded
is far-reaching and enchanting. Over fifty men
are now engaged on the special track to the
grounds, and rails are already laid as fur north
as avenue e." The main building will be
l50x90 feet, three stories and basement, and
will positively be enclosed this fall.
