Dakota NaWsIefs.

There Is a growing impression, especially
about Grand Forks. that the sworn statement
of Miller, just before his execution and on
the gallows Friday, contained the real facts
in regard to the murder of the Smells, in spite
of the emphatic denials of Rutherford and
his unqualing eye as ne witnessed the taking
off of Miller. 1t is known that he appeared
before the grand jury and testified against
Miller. He lived within half mile of the
Smells and in going to town every day or two
passed the house CT the Smells and frequently
brought out their mail. About the time of
the murder he was hauling wheat to Inkster
with Miller and passed the Smell house three
times day, and yet he states that for four
days after the murder he did not notice any
thing wrong about the house, not missing
Miller or observing that there was no fire or
signs of life He even left mail there one
day during this time. When he did note the
quietude and found that the stock in the sta
BILE were suffering from their long fast, he
would not enter the house, but looked up
other parties and induced them to go and see
what was the matter. He would not enter
the house himself then, nor at the inquest
nor go near it since. Miller speaks of false
mustache, but Rutherford denies that he had
one. 1t is said that one has since been found
in his trunk. These statements are derived
from reliable officials of Grand Forks county,
and are developing a public sentiment
strongly adverse to Rutherford. Miller was
hardly more than boy and was easily con-
trolled by others.
In The boom era that inflated minds and

of their success. This will bring 100000 to

The Prosperous Territory.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Col. Gilbert A
Pierce, governor of Dakota, has made his
annual report to the secretary of the in
terror, showing the material progress OF
that territory during the past year. A large
proportion OF the report is devoted to quo
tations and comparisons of facts exhibited
by the returns of the territorial census taken
last summer. The population of the
territory is now 100000, as against
1876, $50 when the federal census
says the year has been a very prosperous
one for the territory, not only have the
crops been excellent but the prices COM
manded have been very much in advance of
those realized year ago. The result is
bu0yancy of feeling on the part of the peo-
pie most encouraging and reassuring. Asa
whole, the farmers were never so prosper
GUS as at present. With the single exception
of wheat the aggregate yield of small
grains for 1885 is largely in excess of that
OF the preceding year. The reduction in
the acreage OF the wheat was caused by the
low price of the staples in 1884 Surveys
for number of new lines of railroad have
been made during the year, and the gov
ernor believes that another twelve months
will see many new enterprises of this char
acter under Roadway or completed. The
TERRITORY HAS DEVELOPED
a number of manufacturing establishments
within the past few years, embracing
wooden mills, Touring mills, quarries
breweries, machine shops. etc. Reference
is made to the constitutional convention
held this fall and the governor bespeaks a
kindly hearing by congress of the appeal for
admission to the Union made by the people
OF the territory and long argu-
ment is made in support of
the application. Attention is directed
to the necessity of protecting the school
lands OF Dakota from squatters. and it is
recommended that the territorial govern
ment be authorized to take possession of
and control them. The existence of vast
Indian reservations is said to be source of
trouble and veXation, and the governor
suggests that these reservations be cut ND
and the land be given to the Indians in
severalty. The hope is expressed that the
government will reimburse those settlers
who went upon the old Cross Creek reser-
walton in good faith and were ordered
off by the presidents proclamation. The
territorial tax levy for all purposes, includ-
ing interest on the public debt, was but
mills during the present year, and the tinan-
cial condition of the territory is said to be
cause for cOngratulatOn. The immigra-
ton to the territory has been very large
during the year. and colonies of consider
able size from Pennsylvania and other
Eastern states have purchased tracts of
land. The death rate was 81 to the 1.00O
which is said 10 be among the smallest in
the United States

MONTREAL, Nov. 2.-The statement to
the effect that loan had been affected by
the Canadian Pacific railway with Barring
Bros. although denied by the Canadian
Pacific officials, is believed to be not with
out foundation. Barring Bros being the
financial agents of the Grand Trunk COM
pany, it would seem as if the securities OF
the two roads are getting into the same
hands. Many rumors are atloat in this city
about the two companies and practical
amalgamation is freely talked of. One
rumor has it that Joseph Hickson will
soon leave Canada and take the presi-
dency or vice presidency of the Grand
Trunk company in England, and Oh the
amalgamation of the two companies will
become president of the entire system. A.
nj. Wainwright, at present assistant mana
ger, will, it is said, become general mana
ger of the two systems, and Mr.. Sargent
will retain his position as traffic manager
of the Grand Trunk road, while Mr.. Odds
will have charge of the traffic of the Cana
dian Pacific system. 1t is further said that
there will be an executive board OF the
combined companies in Canada, and that
A. G. Van Horne will be chairman at
a salary equal to that of the present
Coupled to these rumorS is one to the effect
that the Dominion government will take
over the control of the two railways, with
an imperial guarantee. Further develop
ments are looked for in a few days. and,
though it may not take exactly the shape
outlined above, the best posted railway
men here believe it is as nearly correct S
can be.

A Civ Not Allowed 10 Repudiate,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2.-In the federal
court this afternoon Judge Wood gave an
important ruling on the Evansville bond
cases, which have excited general attention
on account of the allegation that the city of
Evansville was trying to repudiate her just
Indebtedness. At various times during the
last fifteen years the city issued bonds to aid
in the building of railroads. wharveS and
other Improvements, and also redemption
bonds, the total amount of which is about
81. 500, 900, which, in addition to the accrued
interest, now amounts to about 81, 500. 600.
The interest was paid regularly for ten
years, up to 1855, when further payment
was refused, and suit brought to enforce it.
There were three cases in all. August D.
Post and the Portland Savings bank. whose
bonds were issued under similar circum-
stances and conditions, each brought suit, as
did also William H. Moulton, who holds
$50. 600 of the bonds issued for subscription
to the stock of the Evansville Henderson &
Nashville. and the Evansville, Cairo &
Paducah rail- Dads. Payment was resisted
on the grounds: First-That the railroad
was foreign corporation. Second-That
the road did not touch Evansville. Third
That the subscription was not made in ac-
cordance with law, that is upon the petit
ton of resident freeholders. The judge
overruled all these points, and decided
against the city. In the Post-Savings-bank
cases, in which the right to issue redemp-
ton bonds is questioned. the court holds
that the city has such right, and sustains
the demurrer to answer to the complaint
The amount involved in the Post case is
about Sis. 900. in the other 5000. 900. These
decisions are on demurrers which involve
the real issues. The effect is that the city
must pay the interest on her bonds and the
bonds themselves.

day morning to satisfy themselves as to the
safety of the building before permitting the

stead of finding as had been reported that
the walls could not support the roof, it is
their opinion that the roof would stand if the
north wall was removed. Architect BaSSford
after personal examination comes out with
a card pronouncing the building safe and
well constructed. So this question is salts

OTTAWA. Nov. 2.-There is no truth III

been appointed by the government to test
Riel's sanity. So far the case has not been
definitely settled, and the prospect is that
il will be several days before any tinality is
riyen to it. 1t is pretty well understood
that Riel will hang. and that the other prls-
oners. with one or two exceptions, who are
sentenced to death, particularly the authors
of the Frog lake butchery, will be sentenced

of The Northwest was here to-day endeaYor-

that the government will grant their desires
at the approaching session OF parliament.

Teemer wrote the Letters.

PITTsBURG, Penn, Nov 2.-In regard
to the Associated Press dispatches from
Toronto this Afternoon stating that Hanlan
had published Teemer's correspondence in
which the latter offered to sell out in the re-
cent race, Teemer who was found at Nc
Keesport tonight, said:
81 wrote the letters because Hanlan
would not row me unless gave him guar
antee that he should beat me-"
When he was negotiating with Hanlan
that oarsman made the requirement so i'm
peratve that he (Teemer) almost gave the
proposed match up for hopeless, and when
he came home he was still greatly
impressed with the fact that Hanan
was stubborn in this determination
and would not row him unless some such
guarantee was given After the match
was made Teemer said further that Hanlan
went to Wallace Ross, his trainer. several
times to have him persuade Teemer to lose
the race and let Hanlan win it.
Van Volk, Teelner's hacker, was seen
later. He said he knew nothing of the cor
respondence. Teemer had made the prop
ositions to Hanlan without his knowledge,
as he wanted everything conducted on the
square. He was of the opinioion that
certain Pittsburg and McKeesport clique
wanted to run Teemer and that it was a
scheme to fleece him. MI. Volk also said
that Hanlan had never approached him to
buy the race and to the best of his knowl-
edge had never approached Teemer.

II hope that everything is all right, and

In September he wrote:
Il guess this letter will explain every
thing until you and | meet OIL the course.
Volk, my hacker, don't want me to come on
with him to make the match You tell
him you want to row for 81, 500 side, the
winner to take 80 per cent. and the loser 40
per cent. of the gate money. When you
get this letter you read it very carefully
and do not make any mistake. Be sure
and hold out for $1,000 side and the gate
money to be divided as stated in this letter,
and when you go to make the match put
$500 up, the other 81. 600 to be put up four
days before the race takes place, and when
we meet we can settle all. | hope this will
find you all right"
This letter was followed by one the next
day. In it Teemer says:
Il will not be in New York Saturday to
make the match. VOlk don't want me to
go. He said he could handle everything as
we'll without me. Don't make it cent less
than 1,5O0 side. Ed. try and make it
