The Horse Thieves.

The horse thieves who recently stole number
of valuable horses from Mr.. John Staley of
Mclean county, as stated in q previous issue of
the TRIBUNE also succeeded in getting away
with ITO head of animals belonging to the In
dians of Fl. Berthold agency. The Indians
followed the thieves q number of miles thinking
they we're Orees, but upon discovering that they
were whites gave up the chase. It is reported
authoritively that the day before staley's horses
were stolen the thieves were seen in ravine by
one of the LIE Roy bros, and also by Swede
farmer in the vicinity, neither whom of dared to
interfere with their plans or molest them. The
opinion is prevalent that the farmers are afraid
to arrest the band in their depredations and
bold robberies and if this is the case, it is time
that some good blood and courage was sent to
the county of Mclean. It is conceded that the
gang is under the leadership of the notorious
Jim Smith who has already gained reputation
on the James order. Let the farmers and citi-
zens generally of Mclean county combine in
determined effort to put an end to horse stealing,
capture . few of the infesting band, hang them
on the spot and leave their remains dangling to
a pole or tree as specimen of the just rewards
of horse thieves, who are pouncing down upon
the hard earned property of the farmers and there
will be an abrupt end to horse.stealing in
that prosperous region.

The Bone Money.

One of the enterprises which is bringing .
vast amount of money into the country and
putting it in circulation among the farmers, is
that of J. @. Nudd and Others, in the gathering
and shipment of bones. Hundreds of teams
are now engaged in the work, and hundreds of
tons of bones are being bought at the rate of
eight dollars per ton. This gives the farmers
and laborers an opportunity to make . neat
sum outside of their regular income. The
money made in this way is virtually found.
In printers parlance it is . pickup and . "fat'
one at that. For the present the bones are
being shipped to Philadelphia, where they are
ground and sold for fertilizing purposes, but it
is the avowed intention of Mr.. Nudd and his
associates, to erect mill in Bismarck and have
it in operation the coming fall and winter,
manufacturing bone meal. While these bones,
which are st1ewn in immense numbers over the
prairies in Dakota, have been looked upon u
useless by the settlers, they are Of great value
and now the men who are making from five to
twenty dollars per day in gathering them and
bringing them to market, realize this fast.

Properly Killed.

Mr. White. who lives on the reservation south
of the city, was startled Sunday morning by
finding the corpse of man on the sand hills
about fifteen miles south of the city. On in
vestigation it was found that on Friday last,
while Treasurer Anderson, of the school dis
trict in that locality, was in the city he drew
$500 for the construction of school building
and deposited it in one of the banks of this
city. While away from his home, where he left
his wife and little boy, two men of suspicious
appearance called at the house and demanded
entrance, which was refused BY Mrs. anderson.
The door was closed and locked, but the in
truders succeeded in prying it partly open, and
pointing revolve1s in the opening said they had
come for what money there was in the house,
and requested that it be handed over. The lit
tie son, with commendable pluck, grabbed the
shot gun, which was loaded, and discharged its
contents into the right breast and shoulder of
one of the robbers, and was about to give the
other vagrant dose of lead when his mother
prevented him. The wounded man fell into
the arms of his chum, who made his escape
without ceremony, taking the lead burdened
comrade with him. It is believed that the
body found is that of the man who was shot by
the boy. Undertaken Smith and L. N. Griffin
went out yesterday and brought the Corpse to
the city.

Dakota in Chicago.


The citizens of Fargo have made arrangements
for an excursion to the republican convention,
to leave that city on the evening of May Goth,
and extend through the columns of the TRIBUNE
most cordial invitation to the citizens of Bis
marck intending to be present at the conven-
tion. The object of the excursion is to have
the Dakota people together, and thus add
pleasure and sooiability to the political jaunt.
The following from the Fargo Republican is
explanatory: "The invitation is open to any
gentleman, but it must be understood that no
concession in rates is promised by any of the
roads. 1t is safe to say, however, if reduced
rates can be secured, this excursion will find
them. The individuals arranging for it have
the promise of sleeping car. which, at this
late day, is important, a. sleepers have long
since been generally engaged. 1t is also ar
ranped that ROOMS can be secured for those who
want them, at the Sherman house in Chicago, As
good hotel As any. It is the intention to leave
Fargo on the night of May 30th, 80 ~ to be in
Chicago on the morning of June I'd, and thus
have time te skirmish for admission to the con-
vention. Parties anywhere in north Dakota
who want to join the excursion can leave their
name by letter or in person, at the money order
department of the post Office, Fargo, Dakota. A
committee of the number going will be selected
to figure for rates."

DULUTH, May l5.-The Victims of the disas-
ter on the bay last evening are q follows: Isa-
dore Plumadcre, master Of the sail boat, who
leaves wife; John Eppel, single; Ole Johnson,
single; 8. E. Merson, wife and supposed to have
had tive children, and three laborers on the
coal dock. Blame for the accident is variously
stated, but it is generally thought Plumadore is
to blame. The captain of the Mary Martini
says he visited three times - warning to the
boat when 700 yards away, and supposed the
sailboat would not attempt to run across her
course. When he saw she was bound to do SO he
was one hundred and fifty yards away, snd
stopped the engines in his boat, and had almost
stopped when he struck the sailboat.

Valuable Finds.

The discoveries of valuable minerals and
precious stones. being made in Dakota are con-
tinually increasing. Small quantities of gold
have recently been found around Bis
marck and the most interesting relics abound in
large quantities. The tooth of mastodon,
which according to the judgement of scientists
must have been . moving mountain OF ami
mated nature was found near the Cannon Ball
river Last summer and curious petrifactions of
flesh and blood have been rolled out of the ex-
oavations of the capital city. Yesterday morn
ing Attorney Collins found two very valuable
specimens on the streets of the city consisting
of . large mos agate and . smoked topaz. Veins
of gold ramify the moss agate and the topaz Is
one of the very finest. There Is wide and
fruitful field for the relic-hunter and scientist
in Dakota and the hidden gems and jewelry of
nature are easily found.

Chased by q Buffalo.

Mr.. Charles Wheeler. of Chicago, who has
been 'out west" on hunt, returned last eve
ming covered with gore and glory. He explained
he was elated by the sight of a big fat buffalo
bull. Preparing for the fray, he took aim and
changed away" The ball struck the inspect
ing animal in the thigh, inaicting . slight
wound. But the old 'bufff' took the fling as an
insult and insisted on an apology or revenge.
At the time of the shot, the hunter and animal
were about twenty rods apart, but the inter-
vening space was rapidly decreased. Wheeler
never saw time when he could 30 truthfully
repeat that immortal quotation that distance
lends ienchantment." But the enraged beast
would not. .enchant, and before another bullet
could be sent - mild checkmate, he was tear
Jog down upon the lmarksman with terrible
fury. Mr.. Wheeler struck out for a tree, and
just a. he jumped for the lower limb, tho buf-
falls struck the tree with terrific force, one of
his horns tearing ravine in Mr.. Wheelers
right calf. A the animal backed up for
another bunt, part tally stunned by the sudden
meeting with the tree, the terrified hunter

Now it WAS time for human vengeance, and the

charged several bullets into his antagonists
body. The latter fell painting, roaring, snort
ing, and tossing the dust in great rolling clouds
above him. When fully assured that the
buffalo WAS dead, and after rendering the hide
and flesh perfectly useless with bullets, Mr
Wheeler made "bee line" for the nearest
station and purchased . ticket for home. His

Applicable to Dakota.


Az Bismarck has two we'll organized cempa-
MES of militia and is interested in the organi-
cation of the militia, General 9hernsn's views
on the subject of state militia will be of some
import end significance at this time. The same
arguments which the great general advances in
favor of state militia are applicable to the
formu' alton of territorial militia, and espec-
tally 80 to Dakota. In writing to q committee
of st. Louis militia officers, who had requested
him to accept the brigadier generalship of the
state militia, explaining that he could not do
so because of his relations with the service of
the general government, he adds:
Nevertheless, want you to feel that I, who
am now a resident and taxpayer of the state
appreciate the patriotism and the great honor
due the men who under such adverse circum-
stances, have organized themselves into compa-
MES and regiments to give stability and protec-
tion to the lives and property of the people. I
want to encourage you to patience and perse-
verance all can, for honestly believe that the
time is near when our people who love peace
and it's epjoyments will realize that these are
only possible by being prepared for war; not
war IN the sense of great battles, but war to
protect life and property, which is the chief
object of all government. A court without
sheriff would be a farce, city without police
force would be a pandemonirm, SO a state
without militia becomes the subject of ridicule.
BY our laws, customs and usages the sheriff and
police are paid and maintained by the commu-
mites they guard, but from old prejudices dating
800 years back in English history an army is
regarded in this country as unnecessary, or as
dangerous to the republic. Although the army
and militia have saved this governhent in three
great cases, this old prejudice has gone on and
has cost the republic of the United States
thousands of millions of dollars; but the people
now realize that prevention is cheaper than cure.
somewhat, and the state must complete the sys-
tenn whereby a suitable armed force shall be
always maintained for its own security, It is
simply disgrace that the young men, generally
poor, should be expected to form companies,
regiments and brigades, furnish their own
armories, uniforms, arms, equipments and ann
munition, and subject themselves to restraint
and discipline to be used at the pleasure of the
state authorities, la Pickwick, provided they
pay their own expenses. I say the time has
passed when this absurdity should longer exist,
and the state of Missouri, as we'll as the other
states of this great union should make suitable
provision for its militia, as Washington advised
hundred years ago, and as common decency
and justice now demand. The state guard,
limited to ga, one regiment of COO men to each
congressional district, representing about 16O,-
600 of population. should be literally provided
for by state taxation.
