The Excelsior quarrel again bobbed up Sc
renely in the district court yesterday, and
was downed. this time forever in all proba-
bility. Last summer Miner Ball had a ten
ant named Warren Hastings. with whom be
had some disagreement, which was settled
by Hastings promising 10 vacate. Hastings
changed his mind, however, and when John
S. Walter, an employe of Balls, June 6, at
tempted to drive COW into
pasture, assaulted him with
hoe. For this Hastings was
was arrested, taken before q justice Of the
peace and bound over to the grand jury,
which however, failed 10 indict him. The
trouble caused good deal Of excitement in
the village, and a hand bill appeared 10
which was signed the name Of Peter VI. Gid
con, calling for an indignation meeting 20
''ventilate the outrage perpetrated by send
ing poor man TO jail for defending his
rights" June - Miner Ball appeared be-
fore l.. s. Bishop, justice OF the peace, and
claimed that Gideon had Viii6ed and de-
famed d. Z. Eldridge, the justice Of the peace
who had tried and held Hastings TO the grand
jury, by signing and circulating this hand
bill. A warrant was issued for Gideon's ar
rest, and he was obliged TO give bonds 20 the
amount Of 500 for his appearance. July
the case against him was dismissed
Gideon then commenced suit against Ball
for malicious prosecution in having him ar
rested, laying his damages at 81, 800. The
case came up in the district court yesterday,
aud after the testimony had been heard,
Judge Loehren instructed the jury 10 return
verdict for the defendant A stay Of
sixty days was ordered, and as old man
Gideon is full Of fight, the case may be ap-
pealed.

million Plain Talk outlines the matter in
this: With the opening of this great tract Of
land our development viii be augmented
one-hah. Inside Of six months after it has
been thrown open to the public It win be as
thickly populated, nearly, as any Of that part
OF Dakota east Of the river and south Of the
forty-sixth parallel Il viii be built up With
towns all over and the land cultivated by
many who are yet 70 come 10 Dakota, but
who are waiting that this grand piece Of land
may be opened up for settlement At least
three great lines Of railroad, and perhaps four,
will be built across and into the rich mineral
lands Of the Black Hills country, giving Us a
commercial importance not held by any
western state except Colorado. With the
development Of this vast area the territory
south Of the fOrty-sixth parallel will have a
much greater political importance than she
now holds, and afterwards our claims for
division. and in time admission, will be heard
with more attention and needed with alacrity
BY congress.

Senator Vests Speech.

Senator Vest is not earning a reputation
for candor or accuracy of information in Da-
kota in such statements as reported in his
speech in the senate against the admission of
a state. 1t is difficult to see how he can rec
oncile his view that the territory has not pop
ulation enough for representation in con-
gress with the fact that it has just cast Sc, 900
votes and is conceded by all to have above
400, 600 residents. The ratio for q member
of congress is but 154, 900, and even the SEN
ator viii not claim that more than half Of the
population are voters. The senator visited
the territory last summer on Indian matters
and is certainly better informed in regard 10
them than the report of his speech would in
dictate. But Dakota is not caring for admis-
sion as state Just now. The present effort
is for division. FOur-ffths Of the people will
be satisfied with division, and want it. They
are willing to take their chances after that.
II is admitted that the senator is correct in
the opinion that statesmen is one Of the pro-
lific crops Of Dakota.

MistaIsen I,ientifu.

The Yankton Press relates this case Of mis-
taken identity: The United States grand
jury indicted party by the name of Benja-
min F. Warren Cor cutting timber on gov
eminent land, and a warrant was issued and
a deputy marshal started after the victim of
alleged indiscretion. He found party by
the name of Warren, took him into custody,
brought him to Yankton and placed him be-
hind the bars. Mr.. Warren was surprised,
as he failed to remember that he had done
anything wicked, but there was no use talk
ing about any lack Of authority TO put him
in jail-he was in Jail. In the course OF
time the United States attorney smelt a very
large suspicion. He descended TO the gloomy
depths Of the dungeon below, interviewed
the prisoner and found out that though the
mans name was Warren he wasn't the
Warren named in the indictment and that
he was decidedly out Of place in durance
vile IL was now the United States marshal's
turn 10 90 down stairs. With his most win
ming smile he met the man and it is said
that in persuasive and touching politeness
be outdid his usual polished efforts. Mr..
Warren began to think il was quite favor
10 be incarcerated under the Jurisdiction Of
such sweet hammered officials, and when the
marshal generously put up twenty-five dollars
10 pay his expenses he declared himself TO be
entirely satisfied with the result The real
Benjamin T. Warren was afterwards found.

Rubbish on Wholesale.

All who have any personal knowledge
of Dakota, are amused when they read alb
surd ISLANDERS upon the territory ike, for in
stance, one recently in q leading religious
paper OF New York. The writer assumes TO
give wholesome truths concerning a much
inflated bubble, and concludes by stating
that Dakota in general is cold, barren re-
gion, fit only for the dwelling place of Nor
wegians or rowing Indians, but no place for
Americans, and advises them to remain con-
tented in their peaceful eastern homes. In
Harper's School Geography, series of 1882,
page 81, you may find a brief description of
this territory, which fully corroborates the
above statements, and the Harpers ought to
know, for don't they publish "a Journal OF
Civilization2'' 1 do hope the eastern press
will continue in the good work until this de-
lusive bubble is thoroughly pricked. For
the life o. me 1 can't see anything about this
country to make people 60 crazy over it like
they are doing. The whole surface is covered
with a sort OF stunted grass, in some places
not much over a foot high, and lit for moth
ing under the sun but for stock to eat. And
the soil is nothing but sandy loan from
SOUR to eight feet deep, and undertake with a
pOrus sort of subsoil strongly impregnated
with lime, gypsum and such stuff that de-
notes sterility.

IN Omen Market.

The Valley City Democrat explains in this
how the measures being inaugurated in that
section are expected to operate: The general
opinion here is that If the people are success
full in getting a measure through the legisla-
ture this winter creating an open COMPETE
tive market for grain, the result viii be that
any person on carrying his grain to the ele-
vator, when given grade that is not salts
factory, can then demand 4 car and ship his
own grain; OF he can then find q buyer,
land it is held there will be found no lack Of
them) who will give him price which will be
satisfactory. AT every station or point where
wheat is now handled, these buyers would be
found And as farmers with grain came to
market they would be met by those buyers
who would climb on their wagons and fix a
price upon their wheat based upon its merits.
The question Of grades would vanish as far
as the farmer was concerned, and he would
get all his wheat was worth. The elevator
companies, and warehousemen, and buyers,
would come into direct competition, and
each be stimulated to get all the wheat they
thought they could handle.

menced the manufacture of paving blocks,
about the middle of last June, under advice
Of able counsel assuring them that, while the
United States statutes prohibit the removal of
tins5sr from government land, the removal
Of mineral is not prohibited, and that thereby
they neither committed any crime known to
the law nor any injury TO the land
Their enterprise has been successful in
financial way for themselves and done more
than any other one thing to increase the
business aud prosperity Of the town, but ct
the same time II awakened the Jealousy OF a
few chronic GROWERS in other localities, who
made study of how best they could annoy
the company and prevent the further
progress of the enterprise, and to this
end invoked the assistance OF the
United States district attorney at Yauk-
ton, though in the meantime q careful
examination Of the United States statutes had
convinced Messrs- MeBain and
Hubbard that they could more
fully secure themselves by claiming
it as mineral land, and accordingly the land
! embracing the Quarries was filed on as min
ing land, but this did not prevent the prose-
cutiOn Of MeBain and Hubbard, who were
taken before a court commissioner and
recognized for their appearance before the
next United states grand Jury and were en-
Joined from working in the quarries. Pend
| ing this action the farmers of the neighbor-
hood have taken few loads Of stone from
the section Of land where the quarries are
! located, the value altogether being about a
dollar and fifty cents, and to-day some half
dozen of them have been arrested as before
indicated. These farmers who have been
arrested are poor, barely able To make liv-
Ing, and were doing only what for years has
been general custom, viz, taking a few
stone for their own use on their farms, and
now are to be put to great expense to defend
| themselves for committing no crime, at cost
to the government of not less than five hun
| dred dollars, with no benefit to any one
except 10 increase the fees Of district attOr-
neys and deputy marshals, who are looking
for all such opportunities to get away with
government money. The disgrace OF such
administration OF the laws of this country is
only equaled by the indignation of the com
munity who have been compelled to witness
it. II Governor Cleveland when he becomes
president cannot find better material to make
officers for Dakota We hope he Will let Us
entirely alone.

Jury Runs a Court.

The attorneys and jury in the MagiI case
at Bismarck were shocked at the persistence
Of the court in wanting the heart Of the dead
man exhibited. The Blade says: Mr.. Elan
merry, the prosecuting attorney, said, in feel
ing words, that so far as he was concerned,
he did not desire the exhibition, that there
were some things in life that overcame his
feelings, and this was one. The defense
also said they did not desire it. The judge
then stated to the jury that it was nothing to
be afraid Of; that it was in a bottle, and fur
Their, that the heart of dead man was moth
ing more than that Of an animal. But the
jury, one and al, declined to see 1t, so it
was not offered in evidence.

Ia Democrafs Can Be Found.

The Sioux Falls Press looks through par
tisan spectacles in this: The Fargo Democrat
learns that Dakota Democrats will be per-
mitted to have something 20 say about the
distribution of federal patronage under
Cleveland. Wen wager a mince pie that no
Dakota Democrat will warm the seat of any
first or second or third grade federal Office in
the territory
The Democratic national convention
adopted a resolution favoring the selection Of
territorial officers from residents of the ter
ritories. Gov. Cleveland has indicated his
purpose to be guided By the rules laid down
by that convention, and there is no reason
to suppose he will make an exception in
this case. II is true President Arthur has
paid no attention to a similar recommend
ton from his party, but he was beaten and
wanted TO show his feelings. The day Of
personal rule is expected to go out with the
Republicans.

He said he had taken deep interest in polit-

the course OF the campaign earnestly and
zealously. he had favorite in the race, he
said, and on that favorite he had staked all
his wealth To-day he was penniless, from
which fact be need not further explain that
the choice of his heart and his pocket was
James &. Blaine. This was rather a touch
ing appeal % lay before a Republican judge,
but the court did not waver. To punish the
man for the sin of betting, 8 Democrat
was assigned him as counsel, and he was
turned over to the custody OF Democratic
