Willard Getting Rich Again.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 6.-The Journals New
York specials say that although Willard was sup
posed to have lost everything he had IN the
Northern Pacific railroad collapse, it transpires
that he had numerous side speculations which
promise to give him a new fortune. One of
these was real estate scheme at Portland, Ore
gon. Willard, Jay Gould and others bought for
S45,O0O tract of land near Portland about five
years ago. 1t was left unimproved through all
subsequent railroad building and movements at
that point. ID. Montgomery, who built the
Willamette rlver branch of the Northern Pacific
was interested in the purchase and was agent for
the property. He told a friend here today that
since last fall he had sold lots out of the tract
for sums aggregating $265,C00, and had SIX
sevenths of the tract still remaining, comprising
the most valuable portions of it.

These are rival lines and he came here in the in

resented in Chicago as Of the old Northwestern
transportation company, which is the Pierre
outfit. His own statements herein only 60 to
confirm the charges of bad faith made against
him by the freighters, who had employed him to
secure contracts from Deadwood merchants in
the interest of the new line"

WINNIPEG, Man., March 6.-The convention
has been delayed by the difficulty of the COM
mittee Ito obtain an interview with the local
government. The Premier has been out of town
and could not be found till tonight. He ex.

convention, but does not declare his course in
the event of the dominion not granting the con-
cession of the delegates now reporting to the

favoring an appeal to England to allow Mani
toba to withdraw from the confederation and be
British colony with a separate constitution

Black Hills Freight.

ST. PAUL, March 4.-Oontracts were signed
here tsday between Messrs. Pennell Il Jones,
freighters, providing rate for carrying fifteen
millions pound of freight, consigned by Chicago
st. Paul and Minneapolis parties to Deadwood
merchants and other industries. This business
has heretofore been carried on by Chicago lines,
via Pierre and Chamberlain. By the new AZ
rangement Jones will put on seventy teams.
Pennell forty-hve and Larson forty for the
present, but they are prepared to increase the
equipment to any extent necessary to accommo-
date the volume of business both ways A stage
line will also be put on for carrying passengers
and mail matter as well. This company
will carry the bullion product of the
mines heretofore carried by the North estern
transportation company and stage line
from Deadwood to Pierre, and thence by the
Chicago e. Northwestern east. The volume of
Deadwood's carrying trade for the last year was
40,000.C00. 1t is estimated that it will be fully
100000 900 this year. Jones & Pennells freight
line connects with tho Northern Pacific at
Medora, the crossing of the Little Missouri. The
same rate is given for a like volume of business
from Dickinson and Bel6eld to Deadwood.
This will change the course of the carrying
trade from eastern trade centers, and from the
Chicago lines to the Northern Pacific.
The line by which freight already contracted
for via. the Northern Pacific will be by the
Medora route, kn:wn as the Little Missouri line.
This road leads fron the Little Missouri
at the Medora crossing of the Northern Pacific
over that stream along the river for three miles
and leading up to q table land which furnishes
road way to the BILLS via Minnesota and
Spearfsh The principal work on this road
way will be on the short stretch of ground be-
tween Medora and this table land and on to
Belle Fourche, where bridge will be necessary.
This work will be done by the Marquis de
Mores. The distance from Medora to Dead
wood by this line is ITS miles. -.- n.

Thou month of melting ice and slush!
We stand beside thy gloomy bier
And not one pang our hearts will hush,
Nor will one sympathetic tear
Be shed for thee. Thy wild career

Bright sky has writhed in pain,
A victim to thy frenzied fog,
Thy spiteful snow and raging rain,
Get up and git, thou vicious dog.

The Fight for Freight.


MINNEAPOLIS, March 5.-The Journals cor
respondent developed q sensation today. Dur
ing negotiations to open up communication
With Deadwood via. the Northern Pacific and
Little Missouri, it was necessary to secure
special rate from st. Paul to the latter point.
One Jack Cranstann, representing the Black
Hills merchants favorable to the new outlet and
freight contractors Jones & Pennell, is accused
of betreyirg his trnst in the>interest of Evanse
of the Northwestern Transportation company,
which carries freight via. Pierre and Chamber
lain. The specific allegation against him ii
that he had approached Fred Evans before
leaving the Hills with proposition to place the
matter of freight practically in the control Of
the Northwestern company for cash consideza-
tionl lof $4,000. Thescheme wasin effect that after
a contract had been made with the Northern
Pacific, only enough freight should be given
that company to allay any suspicion of bad
faith that might be excited, and that the great
bulk of it should go only by the Northwestern
line via Pierre, as heretofore. Finding that he
could not make success of his scheme without
the corporation Of Jones, Cranstann it q
alleged. approached Jones with proposition to
pay for his cooperation the sum of $4,000
Jones hotly declined and denounced Cranstanu.
Thsn Cranstann went to the N rthern Pacific
officials and charged that Jones had tried to
betray his trust in the interests of Evans.
Learning of this, Jones swore he would shoot
Cranstann on sight and was retained by friends
or would have done 40. Evans, Cranstann,
Jones, Pennell and Col. Sleeper had confer
renee in which Evans exculpated Jones
and admitted that Cranstann was the guilty
party. The contracting freighters carri. d their
point and 200 tears will be put on the Little
Missouri route at once Cranstann is in Chicago
and is believed to be working in the interest of
Evans & Go. Fred Evans is the head and spirit
of the Northwestern transportation company.
which has been doing the freight business for the
Hills from lower Missouri river points. In ad-
dition to an immense feeighting outfit from
Pierre to Deadwood, he owns a line of steamers
running from Chamberlain, the terminal poiot
on the Missouri river of the Milwaukee d st.
Paul. Thus he has heretofore controlled the
Hills business of both the Northwestern and
Milwaukee roads. It is claimed that he has
made fortune from this monopoly of the car
rying trade of one of the richest mining Ind
agricultural districts in the western country.
The Northern Pacific combination has won the
first fight.
