Of Mitchell. while IN the lawful dis-
charge OF his duty, was shot and in.
stantly killed by means of gun held in
the hands Of one 81. NJ. Lewis, under
such circumstances as to cause said
Lewis to be held and tried under an in
dictment for murder; and
WHKRKkS, At Q trial Of said Lewis
upon this charge ct Plsnkinton, in the
county Of Aurora, Dakota, for some un.
accountable reason, be has been acuuit-
ted; now. therefore, the citizens hero a..
sembled, under motives prompted BY
the cause of public honor and security.
Resolced, That We regard such acquit-
tai great calamity to the territory Of
Dakota and the city of Mitchell and an
outrage upon justice; that such results
lead to weaken the trust and regard that
the people have heretofore had in the
proper administration Of the Law and
tends to promote Q feeling of insecurity
and alarm.
Resolved, That with our knowledge of
the character of the antecedents of this
man Lewis. and in view OF the threats
that he has made against some of our
principal citizens, especially against
those who have been at oil prominent in
the effort to see the Law enforced, We re-
gard him az q dangerous man in any
community, and especially is he dan
gerous to the peace and good order of
Mitchell; that We insist upon tie right
to protect ourselves against any, repeti.
tion OF the scenes of disorder and riot
that have been caused and promoted by
this man in our midst; that the safety
and good order of the community de-
mand that said 81. N. Lewis be no more
seen within our city.

Tho standing committees of the coun.
Gil are somewhat southern in their make
up, Though the northerners have been
given as fair show under the circum-
stances as they could have expected
after precipitating a sectional contest.
The north is given eight chairmanships
out of the twenty.four, exactly its pro-
portion SO far as members are concerned.
The eight committees headed by north
ern men are: Revenue, cities and
municipalities, public printing, enrolled
and engrossed bills, insurance, ware.
houses and grain grading, charitable
and penal institutions and immigration.
On two of the committees, warehouse
and grain grading and enrolled and en-
crossed bills. the north has majorlties
and on the rest southern members out.
number northern members. The i'm.
portant committees of judiciary and ap.
preparations each contain respectively
four southerners to three northerners and
five southerners to two northerners, with
Gamble as chairman of the first and
Pettigrew as chairman of the second.
The railroad committee is composed of
four from the south and two from the
north and the public buildings COM
nittee of five from the south
and none from the north. Seventy-nine
committee places are given to southern
men and forty-slx to northern men.
Thus the north with one-third the rep
resentation has over one-half the COM
mlttee placer. As this is the list made
up IN the southern caucus, it appears,
that great deal of leniency was exhibi-
ted by the dlctators of the organization.

tho capital Of the territory to south
Dakota, has aroused considerable inter-
est at this point, although it 10 believed
that Gov. Pierce will use every constitu-
tional means to prevent this project
from being accomplished. The feeling
here is ono of general friendllness to Bis
marck, and the belief prevails that the
railroads IN the south are heavily intere.
sted in the present project. It is felt
that this new agitation will throw div.
sion and admission further than ever to
the rear, and indicates that the territory
is simply sphinx county on large scale
and unworthy of confidence. There is
no serious apprehension that the loca.
ton Of the capital will be changed. This
disturbance will probably completely
obscure grain measures, and will be
hailed with delight by tho elevator and
railway monopolles.

The fact that Ordway owns tract of
land at Pierre is being used to prejudice
the southern mind and with some effect
though it does not promise to materially
effect the fate of the bill. Governor
Pierce is still quoted as being unfavora.

Sioux City Journal, 18th: The west

changed for the better on that line since
Thursday midnight. The wrecked pas.
senger train east of Storm Lake was not
cleared up, the storm out that way being

open the track. An engine was sent out
from this city, and the freight train and

learned, is all that was done toward
opening tie track. It is possible that q

II is the opinion. of good lawyers that
the capital removal bill now before the
legislature is 20 worded as to recognize
Bismarck as the capital and the capital
commission act as valid, while action
thereon is yet pending in the court. It is
best to be careful and not commit the
territory to any such admission and the
bill should therefore be amended so as
to correct it in this particular.

Chicago, Jan. l7-After showing al

the storm appears to have generally
abated throughout the west and north
west about midnight, to be succeeded
by rapid drop in the temperature.
Trains are delayed in every direction,
and numbers are reported showed in, and
in the absence of telegraphic communi-
cation, the exact situation has not yet
been disclosed. The storm has been un.
usually severe in its effect upon the1ele.

New York was entirely shut off about
4 o'clock this morning, and had not bean
resumed up to 10 this morning. The

No through passenger trains have ar.
rived as yet to-day on any of the roads
from the east, south or west, except one
from the south on the Illinois Central.
Freight traffic is practically suspended
throughout the west. The telegraph
service is slightly improved, but still
very unsatisfactory.
