Hills fight, in 1868, has been making a search
Of the battle ground. This famous battle
occurred in the coteaus, about thirty miles
southwest of LaMoure. 1t has remained M
to this time shrOuded in mystery. First
Lieutenant Henry P. Ritzius, of the Twenty
fifth infantry, now acting quartermaster at
Fort Sisseton, was in company with Mr..
Luce, and will report to the department that
the place found is the battle ground above
referred to. Lieut.. Ritzius says that in all
probability there will be monument erected
at the place showing the names of tie killed.
According to the reports in the war office,
twenty-three enlisted men and one officer,
Lieut.. Leavitt, of Dubuque, died. The OFF,
Ger was removed, while the bodies of the rest
were buried on the battle ground in one large
grave. This grave, or what is left of it,
Lieut.. Ritzius found. The bones of both
men and horses, all except the skulls of four
OF the latter, have long since been carried
of by relic hunters. Mr.. Luce estimates
that over 100 of the Indians were killed in
the engagement, and states that about sew
euty-tve were taken prisoners; also, that
large amount of personal property, including
some vermiu, belonging to the red skins,
was destroyed.

Faroo Southern,

The Fargo Southern has recently occupied
its handsome building in Fargo, just COM
pleted, and is quite as well equipped for
business as either OF the old roads. The de-
pot is model of the kind, and the road also

is fortunate in having for its local managers
men like Eddy and Taylor, who are veteran
railroad men, and attract business by theiI
affability and courtesy. Railroad traffic is not
generally very flush at present. but this new
road is extremely popular at Fargo and with
the business men of north Dakota generally,
and in consequence secures a big share Of
the business. With the extensions antici-
pated next year this will become one of the
great lines. 1t is peculiarly Fargo enter
prise, and one Of which the city is justly
proud.

THE BURR DOCK.
The Usual Grist Ground Out Before
HiZzOner Yesterday,

''The blizzard" remarked the bailiff, as he
threw chunk of ice into the cooler yester-
morning, ''has had the effect of setting the
boys to hustling after their own or some one
else's overcoat. At any rate there has been
a falling off in the number of victims to
booze, but maybe the low temperature makes
q man stand it all the better. Keep your
seat, Mr.. Cunningham, he continued, as a
little man with a rosy blossom on the end of
his nose made break for the other
end of the bull pen, ''the
ice tank is not loaded this morning."
Then hizzoner got into the pulpit and asked
Mr.. Cunningham if he had been drunk and
he replied that he had been celebrating the
Election. He got five days and he looked
very lonesome as he was hustled into the
hoo-doo wagon.
'Do they have any Thanksgiving turkey at
the playhouse?" he asked of Conductor
Shields as the lock was turned on him.
''They do, and it has stuffing in it too" re-
piled the general. elbow about the cram
berry sauce and cider?" he again queried"
'Look e'here sonny" said the general,
''you're too fresh for morning like this and
you're liable to have the hose turned on
you" Then he collapsed.
Pat Tierney and Mike Curran had been
having blooming time of it Monday night.
Pat had the other fellow in tow and he Off
ciated as capper as they took in the saloons.
He also relieved the latter of his money, but
when the case was called yesterday he ex-
planned that he took the stuff to keep him
from being robbed. They had both been
very drunk and fines of So each were i'm
posed.
Columbus Walden, not the historical chap
whom Sir Walter Raleigh made famous, but
saddle-colOred chin scraper, was up on the
charge of disorderly. The complaint was
made by Mr.. Starks, another man and
brother. The latter charged Columbus with
rushing into his house without knocking and
soaring his wife, who was sick. The accused
gave bonds TO keep the peace.
Mr.. Fogg, another gentleman of color who
cooks in hash foundry, was charged with
putting head on James Dickerman. The

Gently seen there SAYS Ordinary corn shocks
resembled grain stacks, and indeed every
elevated object was for time being on
stills. a drove of cattle two miles distant,
when on hills, looked like troop of ele-
plants in caravan array. At one time they
descended into a ravine, and the delighted
audience expected to lose sight of the ami
mails entirely. When in the rayine only the
upper portions of them could be distin-
guished by the spectators when occupyin g
the level ground. BY stepping from the
ground to a doorway about foot high, a
party of three were surprised to find that the
animals had apparently grown in height al
least twenty feet, and by jumping up aud
down would increase and diminish alter
nately in magnitude. During this time,
when entirely in view, they resembled moth
ing other than huge masses of moving
substance. These strange distortions, taken
together with the many phases of magniiied
pastoral beauty, presented scene that its
fortunate audience will not soon forget.

embracing some 2s, 600 acres, mostly under

about %, 900 bushels Of grain--mostly wheat.
They believe mixed farming is the most

JOINT CONFERENCE.
Insane Hospital Matters Resolutions
by Boards and Officers in Charge
to the Legislature in
REGARD Thereto.


A joint conference assembled in the ex-
ecutive rooms at the state capitol yesterday
afternoon, to take into consideration the
matter Of providing more accommodations
for the present as well as the future for the
insane in this state, in order to bring this
matter before the next legislature.
The bodies in this conference were the
state lunacy commission, Of whom were
present DR.. C. II. Boardman, of st. Paul;
DIR. w. H. Leonard, of Minneapolis, and DR..
G. w Wood, of Faribault; the trustees Of the
insane hospitals, of whom were present
President Hon. Burr Duel, of Winona; Hon.
A. L. sackett, of st. Peter; Hon. VIM.
Schimmell, of st. Peter; Hon. M. j. Daniels,
of Rochester; Hon. John +. Meagher, Of
Mankato, aud Hon. A. Barto, of Sank
Centre; the state board of corrections
and charities of whom we're present Gov. L..
F. Hubbard, ex-officio president, D. C. Bell,
of Minneapolis; w. NJ. Campbell, of Itch
field; M. NJ. G. Dana, of st. Paul; II. r.
Wells, of Preston, and H. H. Hart, of ST..
Paul. There were also present taking part
in the conference Superintendent c. K.
Bartlett and T. E. Bowers, Of the insane hos
pitfalls.
After a full discussion of the subject for
future provision for the insane Of the state,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
ReSOged, That is the sense Of this conjoint
conference consisting of the board Of trustees
of the insane hospitals, their superinten-
dents, the state lunacy commission and the
state board Of corrections and charities that
the annexes to the present hospitals be built
as asked for by this board Of trustees, be-
cause demanded by existing needs, and be-
cause the most economical method Of caring
for the insane.
ReSolVsd, That we recommend to the legis-
lature at its approaching session TO appoint
commission TO report TO the legis-
lature Of 1887 location and pima
for third hospital to accom-
1nodate the insane then and thereafter to be
found in the state, and to save by this fore
sight and wise action this class of persons
being thrown upon the counties of the state,
they having no facilities for caring for them
and being unable to create them without
grrater expense than this third asylum would
cost the state.
The annexes proposed are detached build
ings at Rochester and st. Peter, that at
Rochester to cost $4,000 and that at st.
Peter S75, 900 which annexes viii accommo-
date 625 new patients, both of which it is
thought by close crowding will give sufficient
for three years at the present rate Of in
crease, when the new and third hospital will
be necessary.

Trufnn 20 Restore Rntns.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-A meeting Of the
general passenger agents Of lines west Of the
western terminus of the seaboard trunk lines,
which embrace all roads from Buffalo west 70
the Missouri river, was held here to-day, with
a view to the restoration Of passenger rates
both ways between the points named. The
situation was discussed at length, and found
to be full of complications. The chief diff
Guilty lies in that portion of the ter
ritory west of Chicago, in which
the rate war has been active for
some time. Lines east of Chicago have, for
the most part, been unwillingly forced into
it in order to protect their through business,
and have made cut rates thereon sufficient 10
induce travellers not TO purchase tickets at
local rates to Chicago for the pur-
pose of their taking advantage of
nominal rates to Missouri river points.
The discussion was almost exclusively de-
voted TO the phase of the question, as an i'm
mediate restoration Of rates between Chicago
and the Missouri river is not considered fea-
sible. The point at issue was how TO con-
fine the effects of the war 10 the roads west
of Chicago, leaving those between Buffalo
and Chicago in a position 10 charge full
rates. The latter roads appointed a COM
mittee TO draft a memorial. This was done
aud the memorial adopted at a subsequent
meeting. 1t asks the western lines in all
their moves against each other TO have in
view the rights and interests of their con-
nections eastward. This viii he presented
10 a meeting Of the Missouri river lines next
Friday.
