Hawkins marshal of the Orange procession at
tha1ne of the Harbor Grace riot, gave testi.

head men fell. Another Riverhead party was
fired al, but missed. Can't identify the accused
as being present and do not know the men on

Growth Of Dakota.

Dakota is attracting universal attention
throughout the civilized world, and the metro
politan newspapers of the east are daily hlhng
their columns with reliable and valuable infor-
nation relative to the territory that will prove
of great value. For instance, the New York
Times of recent date says: "The marvellous
growth of Dakota must excite the world or all
who have studied the movement of the popula-
ton and the settling of new soil. Twenty years
ago there were only few hundred whites in the
southwest corner Of the territory; in 1870 the
population was only $4,000, but in 1880 the
population had grown to $4,000, and now it
is believed there are over 250,000 persons in
southern Dakota alone. The railroad companies
are rapidly pushing their lines through from
north to south and from east to west. Settle
ments are springing up as if by magic, and they
are not mushroom mining camps that die soon
after birth. In one settlement which recently
came into being there were, only two weeks after
the receipt of the frat load Of lumber, bank, a
newspaper Office, two hotels a church, seven
stores, market, two saloons, a telegraph Office,
q postofioe with 289 call boxes and 80 lock
boxes, and three lumber yards. The soil ia
yielding enormous crops, emigrants are coming
in by the thousands, and congressman who have
been repudiated by their constituents elsewhere
arrive by every train" @@' '@ :a.

The Skating Contest.

There was large attendance at the rink last
evening" the chief attraction being the an
nounced 'potato race" There were three rows
of potatoes lail parallel with each other down
the immense hall, and each skater was required
to pick these up one at . time and return to the
head of the hall and DEPOSIT them in a basket,
being allowed to bring in but single potato at
each trip. Two contests of three skaters each
we're first skated, and the two winners of these
were to contest for the prize of q weekly ticket
to the rink. Messrs. johnson, McGivern and
Dunn entered for the first contest, which was
Won by McGivern. In this contest Mr.. johnson
lost one of his skates, else it is very probable
that he would have been declared the winner.
Messrs. Gleason, Holley and Pye were the con-
testants in the second match, which resulted in
victory for Holley. This threw himself and
McGivern into the final struggle, and it was q
hot)y contested one. During the race one of
McGivern's 3 skates became so loose as to require
Tightening, which threw him back considerably,
and the closeness of the struggle can be inferred

Fire Precautions.

Acting under instructions from the mayor,
Chief of Police Harper has been spending con-
siderable time in notifying persons not to dump
ashes in the street or back yards, or to leave
them in or about any building. Several parties
have already been notified two or three times,
and it has been now decided to promptly arrest
the first offender Carelessness in this respect
on the part of any person may sacrifice much
valuable property, and in justice to all, the
offenders should be punished. Too much care
cannot be taken. and there is probability of 3
sharp advance in insurance rates if many more
fires occur. The safest plan is to have large
box in some safe place into which the ashes can
be emptisd and then carted away either daily or
weekly.

Poetry OF Motion.

,E ~ ! , 81 s
Az TRIBUNE representative sat in the
Atheneum Last evening, watching the merry
skaters 60 sailing by, his attention was attracted
by the beautiful and graceful skating Of Mia,
Maggie Davidson, the accomplished daughter Of
Mr.. John Davidson, agent Of the North Pacific
at this point. Miss Davidson first put on the
rollers on Thanksgiving day, and during the
short time she has been practicing, has acquired
IN expertness that now ranks her with possibly
one exoepdon) as the best lady skater in the
city. Her every movement is the very poetry Of
grace and motion, and abe easily executes some
very difficult feats that bother old skaters. Her
easy and graceful movements az she glides
around the Ihall, attract universal attention..
and everyone pronounces ber to b., without sues-
tion, . very queen of the skatatorial art. IF her
improvement continues in the future a. it has
in the past, she will soon be able to claim the
proud distinction of being the champion roller
skater of the northwest, if she is not already
entitled to that honor.
Miss Davidson may not thank US with any
degree of fervor fol 80 boldly presuming to
make use of her name in print. but we really
could not allow such beautiful and artistic
skating to pass unnoticed. ~- st-.zf'

Good Common sense.

&OOO common sense.
A TRIBUNE reporter yesterday held IN off
hand conversation with one Of the new oomers
to Bismarck, which although not intended for
publication is too good to be lost The reporter
by series of questions had drawn the speaker
into an informal conversation. during which he
said: s'The people of Dakota have been prosper
ous and blessed, and nature has lav.shed 30
much upon them that they are shiftless and lazy.
They lack the thrift that comes from hard
knocks and adverse circumstances. Every
farmer in Burleigh county can just as we'll keep
100 head Of cattle, and couple Of hundred
sheep and plentry of poultry. Hay of the very
best, can be cut and put up at an expense of
eighty cents ton, and q little shelter only is
needed. just because thousands of cattle can
run out all winter in some Of the Montana val
leys, and need to be rounded up but once year,
the people of North Dakota don't think they can
raise cattle and sheep. The truth u.s. 100 cattle
are worth as much money in Dakota as any
where else and can be raised here for less ex-
pense and trouble than in Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan or New York. Butter,
eggs and beef are shipped in here
and high prices are paid for them, whereas there
would be more money and more independence
in raising them than in raising wheat exclusive
". Take New York farmer for instance. On
forty acres of stony land he will keep a few
COWS and Sheep and raise a little grain and be
independent and well off, He sells his farm for
81 600, comes to North Dakota and almost with
out effort secures $40 acres of rich prairie land
every acre of which is susceptible Of cultivation
The man Immediately thinks himself rich and
Immediately becomes a speculator instead of q
farmer. Instead of cultivating his land as he
did on his eastern farm he goes to some city
and waits for his land to double in value. He
feels that there is no necessity for work and
does not, as he easily might, make himself inde-
pendently rich in few years. Good land un-
cultivated is not as good as poor land that is
properly farmed. The people of North Dakota
will never be permanently prosperous until
genuine farmers take the place of impraoticable
farmer speculators. The North Dakota farmer
VINO will raise cattle and sheep, and poultry
along with his wheat and oats will get rich
quicker and more surely than any other class of
men on the face of the earth.

Indian ENTERPRISE.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, D. T., Jan. 9, 1884.
To the Editor: Chief Antelope Of Standing
Rock agency has started large Indian trading
store, thirty miles from this agency on Grand
river. Antelope has over sixty families, and
each has good shack and plenty of stock. It's
Antelope's intention to do all the trading with
his own band and other Indians They COM
plain that the prices are too high at the Indian
agency stores. Agent Mclaughlin, Antelope
says, has done more towards showing the lndi-
ans that raising stock and farming II much
more profitable than laying around the agency,
than any ore else. Many Indians at this agency
have from five to ten head of stock. We wish
Antelope every success in his new enterprise.
