Resignation Of Geo. X. Barnes.

Resignation Of Geo. TX. Barnes.
The st. Paul Globe reports the resignation of
Ticket Agent Barnes, of the North Pacific, as
follows: At $3.50 yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Geo.
K. Barnes, general ticket agent of the North
Pacific road, received, without any previous in
timation, a request from Mr.. Muir, superinten-
dent of traffic, to resign his position :'at once
The request was accompanied by one or two
letters containing what is supposed to be the
reasons for the request. MIR. Barnes was so sur
prised that he took occasion to have an inter-
view with Mr.. Muir upon the subject. He
regarded the reasons given as too trivial to
Justify the request, and desired to know what
Was the real cause. Mr.. Muir expressed the
opinion that they did justify1the request,
whereupon Mr.. Barnes defined to resign and
expressed preference to be discharged. Mr.
Muir thereupon told him he could have it that
way if he wished, and discharged him. Mr..
Barnes then asked how soon he desired to have
the discharge take effect,a nd was informed that
this being the close of the year, it was very
good time to have it take effect now. MI
Barnes accordingly gathered up his private pa
pers and vacated the Office.
A representative of the Globe called upon Mr..
Barnes and endeavored to obtain the communi-
cations for publication but Mr.. Barnes, though
he allowed the communications to be read,
deemed them of such small importance that he
refused to allow them to be published. he
stated that the ground work of the letters was a
growing conflict between Mr.. Barnes, of the
ticket department., and Mr.. Fee, superintendent
of the passenger traffic. aggravated by reports
and misrepresentation by those Mr.. Barnes had
left in charge of the Office during his absence for
the last few weeks to the Pacifc coast Mr..
Barnes of course, feels much aggrieved at the
injustice which he thinks has been done him,
but seems disposed to take charitable view of
the matter, being satisfied that friends who
know him will feel assured that the record he
has made during the period of the three years
he has been with the North Pacific is such that
makes him entitled to better and different treat
ment, and that more consideration should have
been shown him for the manner in which he has
discharged his duties during the last three years.
Mr.. Muir and Mr.. Fee were both seen after
ward and each declined to say anything about
the matter. .-54 .~sa ..5. es~4

A Graceful Acknowledgment.

"A GraCe161 AcA0O"1eQ&menCs
1t will be remembered that the TRIBUNE
recently referred to the finely mounted head of
q buffalo bull which was sent by Gov. Ordway
and other citizens of Bismarck, as a Christmas
mercial Bulletin. The present was designed as
a pleasant remembrance for Mr.. Guild in re.
turu for the fair treatment that Dakota had
always received in the columns of his paper. A
recent copy of the Bulletin contains the fol-
lowing acknowledgment:
The Commercial Bulletin has from time to
time mentioned in its columns the enterprise
and public spirit of the citizens of Bismarck,
Dakota, and the succs sssful efforts they have
made for advancing the best interests Of their
city and the great and important territory they
so ably represent.
This has been done by the Bulletin simply in
the performances of it's duty as a public journal
in recognition of that perseverance, pluck and
energy which have been exercised to develop
one of the most important sections of the
country, and in many respects .exercis ed in q
manner worthy of imitation. 80. a.
Of course the only recognition of chronicling
the facts above alluded to that was expected
was the usual quiet approval Of such Of our
readers a. were interested in the advance of the
material interests of this country. -.
To our surprise, however, and we must say,
gratifcation, we received on Christmas .dey the-
following very complime mentary testimonial.
which is an acknowledR dRment so unusual that
we venture to place it before our readers:
here follows the testimonial heretofore
published. H@
In addition to the above the following letter
of acknowledgment has been received:
Boston, December az, 1883.
Hon. N. q. Ordwsy, Hon. Alex. Hughes. O. n.
Oushman, Esq, and others, Bismarck, Dakota.
GENTLEMEN:-I have the honor to acknowl-
edge receipt of your esteemed fav..r dated Dec.
25th. and also a superb specimen of a buffalo
bulls head, which you are kind enough to say is
an evidence of your appreciation of what has
been done in the editorial columns of the Boston
Commercial Bulletin in favor of Bismarck.
Members of my profession are generally
obliged to content themselves with the con-
sciousness of having thoroughly done their duty
in cases of this kind, receiving little or no en-
couragement from those whose commendation is
worth having; hence your unexpected and very
fattering letter is more than usually gratifying.
The magnificent front of this type of the wild
of our new states and territories will adorn the
Bulletin sanctum as you suggest, and beneath it
We shall place the kind and complimentary ex-
pressions sent with this, your unique Christmas
gift.
My partners join with me in grateful express
sions to you for this evidence of your kind ap.
probation, and we feel that whatever we may be
able to do to advance the interests Of any part
of our beloved country, is simply a patriotic
duty incumbent on all good citizens. have the
honor to be, gentlemen, yours very truly.

GhOuls Detected.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Thomas Coffee, one of the
man arrested for Decorating grave at Syca-
more, ILL.,, and selling the body to medical
college, made confession that he and his COM
panions were engaged regularly in the traffic
and that the body of a lady resurected at syca-
more was sold to the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. He implicated DR.. Hoadley OF that
college in the transaction. DR.. Hoadley was
sent for by detectives and admitted that
lady's body was in the dead house of the COLI
lege and that it was the custom of the college
since no longer allowed to use the bodies of
paupers and unclaimed dead to purchase
oorpses asking no questions; that the rule was
to keep bodies six weeks before disseoting, that
the Sycamore lady's body lay untouched in the
dead house-at least he supposed it was hers
and if the relatives would identify the remains
the college would bear all the expenses of re-
interment. No further arrests were made.

Soldier Kllled-'Kerry Eagle"
MILES CITY, Jan. 3.-Yesterday afternoon at
about quarter past S, the garrison at Keogh
were shocked to learn that a soldier named Keath
had met his death at the hands of q guard
named Thinner. The circumstances attending
the shooting were few, and can be summarized
in the statement that deceased was known as
"Big Keath,'' and was in arrest in charge of
Thinner, and becoming re >raotory was rerri-
manded by his guard. In retaliation he made
an attack on the guard, and then sought to
escape from him. thinner, after haliing him
several times, fred, the charge taking effect in
the body, killing him almost instantly. 1t is q
sad affair, but probably justifable under mill
tary law.
VIM. F. Goggin, alias "Kerry Eagle" who was
suspected Of being the murderer Of Daniel Nc
Carthy on December Oath, had preliminary
examination today and was held TO await the
action of the grand jury. The evidence was
weighty and there can be no doubt of his being
convicted. The clothes which he wore on the
night of that brutal murder bear testimony and
his nervous action and wild expression during
the progress of the examination attest to his
knowledge of the crime.

can agents for the large Liverpool commission
house of Bamford Bros, that their exchange
clerk, E. 81. Kobbe, had absconded after forging
and converting to bis own use 100000 in ex-
changes. The agency at once went to work upon
the case, and soon disc ,vered Kobbe here in the
company of q man named John r. Vanarsdale,
and that they were spending money very freely.
While the case was being worked up Vanarsdaie
returned to New York, where he was ar
rested last Friday. Kobbe was arrested
secretly in house of lll-repute, with one of the
inmates of whom he had become enamored, and
was on the point of starting for Mexico. -Four
hundred dollars in money was found in his pos
session, and 81 400 worth of furs and silks
which he had lavished on the woman were also
taken possession of. 1t was found that Kobbe
spent $2,5OO here and Vanarsdale $4,000. 1t
appears that he forged bills of exchange on
Bamford Bros, which he readily disposed of to
Jessup, Patten Il Co., being recognized as the
exchange clerk of the firm, and had the checks
made payable to his own personal order instead
of that of the firm. He opened an account
with another bank, collected the amount of
Jessup, Patton Il Co.'s checks, invested the
money in government bonds and alb

his gains were fully one hundred thousand
dollars. He was taken to New York the same
day he was arrested, and last Sunday took q de-
teotive to the upper part of New York, where
they recovered from adry cistern, encased in
hermetioally-sealed drain pipe, !and wrapped in
oil silk, government bonds to the amount of
100000. Going thence to Brooklyn another
piece of drain pipe yielded $25.0oO. 1t is not

been recovered. Kobbe is well connected, and
