In the district court yesterday the case Of
Geo. II. Warren, assignee of w. G. and Geo
+. Teliers, managers of the Lyndale hotel
was brought before Judge Koon and jury
The action was brought TO recover some
1858 for extras served by the Telfers at the
banquet given 10y the Swedish citizens to
Nine. Christine Nilsson last June during
the banquet was 81 per plate and there we're
365 plates laid. The extras charged were for
the care OF horses In the stables.
for the dance hall, for
extra rooms, for the attend
sDce of servants on the boat during the ex-
cursion, and for loss suffered owing to the
postp9nement of the banquet Cor two days
after all the arrangements had been con-
summate1 by the Telfers and the fruits and
meats had been purchased as well as other
perishable goods. and also 25 cents per bottle
for corkage, the wine having been furnished
by the committee.
lDe ucleuuanIS leSuneQ the cOntract
at 81 per plate only included the,
banquet for few rooms as is customary with
hotels, and did not provide for the care of
horses, the dance hall and handling the
wines. He explained that il was usual 10
charge one dollar per bottle for ''corkage''
but he had only charged twenty-five cents
per bottle, and that 269 bottles were served
at the banquet.
The defendants were numerous and their
evidence prolonged the trial so that II ocru-
pied the entire day. The Swedish
committee testified TO all sorts Of III usage at
the hands of the Telfers, some of them even
going so far as to swear that at the table at
which they fed nothing was served save
bread and butter, while others testified that
the me ats were rank and sour, and that they
could only get glass of wine by feeling the
walters. One witness, however, acknowl-
edged that the meats were good,
and in rebuttal the PLAINTIFF
introduced evidence 10 show that the banquet
was sumptuOus and well conducted. The
case was summed up and given to the jury at
6 O'Clock last night.
The writer was participant in the ban
quet and has attended many occasions OF
the kind. He found the meats we'll cooked
i'm the French style-and believes that
many Of the guests are unaccustomed 10

POffe5'S Pan.

One of the strongest points made in favor
of division OF the territory is urged by Hon.
Waldo VI. Potter and other clear headed
thinkers. 1t is that good government can
not be maintained in a territory so large per-
manently one political body. The reason
is that the control of the conventions will be-
in the hands Of those who run politics for
revenue. The people who have no other in
terest TO subserve than the common good
cannot afford to spend week and 500 or
more every time convention is to be held
The majority OF them would have To travel
hundreds of miles, some 700 or more, to
reach the point where the convention holds
the few who live in the nearest counties will
attend, and the schemers will gather the
proxies from the remote districts and run
the convention. This has largely been the
case heretofore, aud has given the territory
bad political repute. Mr.. Potter aud others
who take this view, insist that all efforts
should be concentrated upon division and
nothing said about admission or forming q
state until this is secured. These are strong
arguments in favor OF division geographical,
and growing Of our diversity of local inter
ests.

THE BLACK RIVER FALLS MINES.
President Phelps requested o. A. Pray,
chairman of the committee on manu!ac-

contemplated opening up OF the Back River

very little 10 aid on the subject. II. Z Burt,

The impression is quite general among
the wheat growers and some others that this
view taken by the Mandan Pioneer Is war
ranted by the facts: 'sThe miIlers of the
northwest are altogether too greedy. They
want too much profit They arc developing
the spiri. OF Jeshurun Of whom we read in
the Bible, who wsxed fat and kicked. They
get about three times as much profit as any
one else, and they are the only men IN the
community who show no disposition what
ever 10 meet half way, the families who are
suffering from the general depression Of bus
mess. The Bismarck mill, for example,
pays less for wheat and charges more Tor

town mill IS more grasping than Valley CITY,
Valley City than Fargo, and so on to the far
east. But" says some one, "millers are
not to blame for getting all they can for their
manufactures. Are they not. II this Trirci-
pie holds good, then why are we, the millers
and the farmers, blaming the railroad com
panies of the country for charging all that
their freight will beara''

Renent Asrinnrrncnta

A schedule of liabilities was yesterday fled
in the assignment of the Minneapolis Wagon
company to g. A. McDugall, showing that
the total Indebtedness amounts to &c.
623.26. The creditors are numerous, the
amounts owing generally being from 5000
TO $500 for merchandise. Ten employees
put in claim for wages amounting to
$241.99. The amounts of the assets has not
yet heen stated, but as the assignee is re-
quired to give bond for $50, 900 it is pre-
sumed that there is more than enough to
meet the Indebtedness.
A schedule Of assets and liabilities was
filed in the assign ment of II. Clay Scott, the
Nicollet avenue confectionery man. The
liabilities amount to 81, 499. 40, being prlnci-
pally small accounts for goods. The assets

Edmund Hackett, one of the commission
ers in McHenry, one of tie newest coun ties
north and east OF the Missouri river, lately
visited DEVILS Lake and seems to confirm
the reports Of hanging alleged horse thieves
by the county yigilsnts, altho' the Grinnell
case is denied at Bismarck according to the
Inter Ocean: He says the Montona Cattle
mems association have hanged at least fifty
men in the past eight months. A week ago
last Friday sixteen cowboys belonging To
this association arrived at Souris City, on the
Mouse river, and took dinner at Mr., Hack
ett's place. They had but little to say, but
Mr, Hackett says they had blood in their
eyes The next day one Gardupee, who
lived near Souris City, was missing. He
was gathered In aud taken across the Mis-
souri, rives and hanged. The cowboys also
took George Grinnell well known white
man who has fine ranch $50 miles this side
of Fl. Benton. and strung him TO a tree with
Gariupee. Grinnell was not q regular horse
thief, but he made u business OF purchas-
ing horses from thieves and other
wise aiding them in their nefarious
work. He had been q resident of the
Missouri slope for fifteen years, and was
known by every one in that region. Gar
dupee is the same half breed captured by
Mckinney, Oswald aud others and brought
to this city last summer. He was a profess
sional thief from Wsyback. that mysterious
location from whence come so many evil
doors and notorious sky-scrspers. Gardupee's
partner, Frank Burno, is the chap who stole
Mr.. Hackett's fine team last fall, and which
has never since been heard from. Il is said
man named Simpson was also disposed Of
at the end Of a robe with Grinnell aud Gar
dupee. Grinnell. learning that the cowboys
were after him, went TO Fl. BufOrd for pro-
lection, but tie authorities refused TO send
soldiers back with him. Mr.. Hackett says
horse stealing has been profitable business
in the Mouse and Missouri river region the
past year. but he is of the opinion that the
profession will gradually fall into disrepute
as the visits Of the cowboys become more
frequent.
DiseHssio's Of Adnsss,on aud Division.
To the Editor OF the Globe
In your issue OF the 18th inst. we notice an

division of our territory or its admission as a
whole, he taking the ground and making the
assertion that majority of our people favor
an entire statehood when we are so fortunate
es to be the thirty ninth in the Union.
Now, we beg to differ with our friend most
materially on this one point, believing that
could the sentiment of the people of Dakota
be determined, i: would be found that not
only are a majority in favor of two states be
ing formed from the territory, but that the
greater number would favor a double division
and four states ultimately, instead OF one or
even two; but this being rather too much
glory to expect, however, they win be salts
fed with division on the 18Th parallel.
g As near as can be determined the founda-
ticn OF opposition to admission comes from
our Democratic friends, who fear that with
two states, Dakota will send four Republicans
to the United States. With the senate ueariy
equally balanced. this they fear would give
the Republicans cOntrol OF that branch of
congress. Now, Dakotans, though Republic
cans as a rule, are also radical free traders.
1t will thus logically follow that her con gress-
men viii be free traders and so Democratic
in principal If not in name. It next follows
that, if four free trade senators can be made
instead OF two, that the Democratic princi-
pies are not likely To suffer, but rather to be
benefited thereby, and where can a couple of
free traders be put To better advantage than
in the United States senate.
We surely, Mr.. Editor should be entitled
to at Il asst one-third as large representation
IN the United States senate as those hall
dozen school townships over the other side
OF Hudson river; We need them, and need
them bad, too. Financial legislation has
been so sectional an issue with our early sun
brethren that We need al. the help We can get
TO defend ourselves against them, not that
We favor division as a sectional issue, but as
means of defense against imposition.

A. S. Jones, a member OF the council from
the Yankton district, will urge in the legisla-
ture the policy indicated in this interview:
Chow shall Dakota obtain division and ad-
missionl This is question which is left TO
the people OF the territory, through their rep
resentatives in the legislature, TO decide for
themselves; siuce il cannot be expected that
a nation with Democratic head will take
the initiative step toward the admission of a
new state, which, owing to its strongly en-
trenehed position in the Republican party,
will very likely hold the balance of power in
the next presidential election and by using
this power turn the reins of government
back to the old Republican party. Yes, the
initiative step must be taken right al home.
To wait longer for something to
turn up" at the national capital is to
wait in vain. The most important step,
aud the very first Que that the coming legis-
lure should take, should be to pass bill call
ing constitutional convention, at which a
constitution should be framed for that part
of Dakota lying south of the 18th parallel,
and a state government formed, com plete in
all its fuuctions. Then. with her duly au-
thorized and accredited representatives she
could 60 brayely up to the door OF the Union
