rS Chadron.
Messrs. Cnrran and Moses returned
from q prospecting business trip to the
shove point last Sunday evening and we
are Indebted to them for the following
information
Chadron Is about rs miles from Custer
by the road they travelled, that is, 30
miles from Custer to Cascade on the
Cheyenne river and 45 miles from that
| place to the former town. The town,
or cluster of buildings now called by
that name, Ia situated at the confluence
fthe Chadron creek with the White
river and on a tree claim owned by a
widow lady, who, awaiting the laying
out Of q townsite by the Railroad COM
pany, kindly permits the erection of
buildings on her claim by all those who
90 desire. As yet no n seems to know
just where The town will be and it de-
ponds on the Railroad company, but it
is conceded by all that it will he not
over five or ten mites from the point
where the business has already started.
This uncertainty, however, prevents the
erection Of buildings with a view Of the
permanency Of their location and they
are consequently Of an inferior sort and
at present one house carrying a fair
general assortment of merchandise is all
that the place boasts of, but there is one
other smaller concern that deals in
bacon and whiskey.
The largest building lisa two-story log,
now in process of erection, that is to be
used as a hotel. Messrs. Burton, Curran
& Moses have rented a room in this
building l6xl6 in which they will start
a sample room with F. X. Curran in
| charge.
To conclude the town will undonbted-
ly be the 'hurrah city" OF the North.

An1ndustrious Thief.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Nov. 7.-The
baggage of Edward ellison, recently in the
employ of A. L. Cole. and who suddenly
departed for Minneapolis, taking with him
several articles of jewelry belonging to Mr..
Cole. and after being arrested by Detective
QuinIan. jumped from the second story
window of the Neill block and
made his escape, was returned to
Gergus Falls to-day, and Sheriff Branden-
burg secured a search warrant. There was
a trunk and a valise, and more hetero-
geneous mass off stuff was never seen than
the two contained In the valise were white
vests, ladies' underclothing. shirts, several
yards of rich black silk, bed-clothing,
shawl or two, neckcloths, and
variety of other pIunder. The trunk
contained lot of old clothing and under
clothing pieces of red and plaid cloths,
telegraphic outfit, climbing irons, old jew
elry, tobacco, pipes, old letters, dozen
oranges, ETC.. etc. 1t took the sheriff an
hour to go through the list. A. L. Cole
came up and looked over the pile, but was
unable to identify much The sheriff will
hold the goods until an order from the dis
trict court is obtained, directing what dis
position shall be made of them. Gibson has
evidently made regular practice of ''salt-
ing" whatever he could lay his hands on,
regardless of whether it was of present use
to him or not. His baggage shows the
traces of chronic sneak thief in every
part,

Minister'S Forgeries.


ELMIRA, N. Y, Nov. Z. - Rev. R. D.
Phillips was arrested in Branchport last
night on charges of forgery. For several
years Mr.. Phillips was pastor of the Metho-
dist church at Branchport, and in addition
to his ministerial duties was largely ell
gagged in mercantile and mill business.
For time he seemed to prosper.
but during the past year he seemed
to have ''too many irons in the fire." and it
was suspected that it would be difficult for
him to pull them all out. Much gossip
went the rounds that there was something
wrong with the minister and finally
he was openly charged with the
forgery OF two $1,000 notes against
his father-in-law and one note
used in NJ L. Baldwin's bank at Penn Yan
on Oct. 16. Phillips case was brought up
before the Syracuse conference. and he was
suspended from the ministry for one year.
Hisfather-in-law made good hisapparent for
geries. and Phillips returned to Branchport
and resumed business. Yesterday afternoon
five warrants were issued against the rever-
end gentleman for other alleged forgeries,
and he gave bail to appear before the grand
jury. Several notes were made payable at
Baldwin's bank. Penn Yam, and aggregate
5000. Phillips has been highly thought
of, was prominent as minister, and was
considered the soul of honor in business
until the recent developments.

Used Muffly quite Roughly.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Nov. 7.-An excit-
ing scene occurred in the circuit court here
yesterday. during the trial of divorce
case, in which John Muff1y of Lexington,
this county, was complainant. and his wife
defendant. In his bill Mr.. Muffly alleged
infideIity on the part of his wife, and when
he sought to sustain the charges by
proofs Mrs. Mufay tainted and was car
ried out of court. During the excitement
of caring for the woman, Miss Hand, a
large stout woman, sister of the defendant,
shouted at the top of her voice, ''Muffiy,
you have murdered my sister. and I will
kill youl'' and rushing at Muffly seized him
by the hair and dragged him across the
court room before she could be stopped.
She was terribly wrought up, and would
have used Muffiy quite roughly had not the
court officials interfered.

insured for over $40, 900, and the loss claim
was paid. A few years later brother of
Sarah and Mary, David A. Melendy, was
married against the wishes of his
sisters, and since that,timea family feud has
existed. The secretary 1of the Traders
company was approached by Mrs. David
Melendy and informed that the Melendy
sisters had fired the building for the sake Of
the insurance. The Traders brought action
to recover the amount paid the sisters. In
the trial David Meendy testified to the
above admissions. The defendants occupy
magnificent Grand avenue residence,
their own property, and are quite well
known throughout the Northwest. To-
days verdict meets with the approval of
nearly all who have watched the progress of
the case.

agree as to whether Mrs. jarrett obtained
the child by false pretenses. They also
agreed that the mother did not sell her

Mr.. Booth and Mr.. Jacques were not par

ferred passing sentence on the convicted
prisoners until after the trial on the indict-
ment for indecent assault against Stead,

Burchard's bondsmen as cashier were his

nothing and Pratt's assets are
doubtful. These facts compiled with Bur-
chard's continued absence causes a general
impression of swindle. The directors of

result of which is not known. No criminal
proceedings have been begun. Burchard
drove from Grass Lake to Ann Arbor,

Kind Words for Vincent.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Ex-Judge A.
NJ. Vincent of New Mexico left for Spring

dent said to one of Mr.. Vincent's friends
to-day that he believed Vincent to be an
honorable and fair-minded man, but that
his connection with Dorsey was an indis-
erection which deserved punishment, and
hence his suspension. AS an offset to the
single charge against Judge Vincent
there have been received by the
president and attorney general over one
hundred letters and kilograms from promi-
nent citizens of the territory requesting the
reinstatement of Vincent. One of these
kilograms signed by all the Protestant and
Catholic clergy of the city of Los Vegas,
declares that during the few months of
Judge Vincent's incumbency he did more
to abolish vice and elevate the moral tone
of that place than any of his predecessors

MIR. Bliss Makes a Point.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Dorsheimer, having taken
the case of William S. Warner before the
grand jury, George Bliss of counsel for
Warner has written letter to Mr.. Dors-
hemer in which it is urged that the cause
Of justice would not have been prejudiced
had the presentation been delayed a week
or two. In his letter Mr.. Bliss uses these
words. which are interesting:
Permit me to remind you that the charge
against Warner is of aiding and abetting
Ferdinand Ward; that since the warrant
against Warner was issued, Ward has been
convicted in the state courts and sent to state
prison for ten years; that under the admitted
and undoubted law of the United States
courts, you cannot try Warner as accused
until Ward has been convicted of the
same principal offense, or is dead, and that
you cannot, until his sentence expires, get
hold of Ward to try him. Warner therefore,
if indicted, cannot be tried for ten years.
In his reply Dorshheimer does not meet
these points, but tells Bliss that he may
put in evidence for Warner before the
grand iurv

DULUTH, Nov. THE northeast storm,

lowed by severe gale from the northwest,
accompanied by snow. The damage has
not been as bad as was expected, with the
exception of the demolition of tine schooner
Guido Ffister, which was beached here
about a month ago and abandoned. Dur
ing the night she went entirely to pieces
and her wreckage now lies strewn upon the
beach. The steamship Wallula arrived off
the harbor about o'clock, but was afraid to
enter our harbor until daylight, so she
turned about and breasted the gale for foul
hours and arrived safely at o'clock this
morning. The St. Paul & Duluth road had
several washouts and their track submerged
for two miles between Spirit Lake and
Fond du Lac, rendering it impossible fol
trains for twelve hours.
