Trial OF Louis Riol.

The trial OF Louis Riel is progressing at
Regina,. N. W.T.. Riels counsel have
ceased to. fight, intending to build up the
entire defense on the insanity plea. Brown
put in twenty documents identified rs in
H,ells handwriting and signed BY him, lall
Of which were directed to half breeds and
Indians, informing them Of his success Mt
Duck Lake and FISH Creek, and urging
them to raid forts and stores, capture ms;
MES, ammunition and arms, and ioin the
rebels as soon as possible. Riel was shown
to be the leader; Of the m movement, etc.
"a remarkable scene occurred a few DAYS
ago. Riel interrupted the proceedings and
asked to be allowed to5 examine witnesses
himself. Counsel, he said, came from nillr
and did not understand the circumstance
and neglected to ask witnesses important
questions. Counsel admitted there was n
rupture, and the prisoner refused informa.
ton and assistance in any way. Riel said
he could not allow his moral integrity "a
buffer as counsel was seeking to- establish
his insanity. He did not care for mere ani.
NAL existence, il not accompanied by the
mental dignity Of an intelligent being. A
long dispute followed. The prisoner and
counsel reached no agreement. Riel still
pressed the claim to tbe heard. Counsel
stated that they would ADAM on the deierjsa
n Riel interierred in the case. Riel persist
ed, and asked to have counsel DISCHARGED
and he would conduct the cnse. Legal
authorities were quoted; and the court
ruled the counsel should defend him. Its
expected that further qnnrrels will result
in the aband onment Of The defense.

Sioux Falls, Oak, Special: An elaborate
opinion was filed by Judge G. 8. Palmer, In
The district court, In the famous Shillock-:
Pettigrew title cnse. The case Is one in;
5yolying the title to i go acres Of land upon
which the principal residence portion
OF the city Of Sioux Falls is built.
In 1860 one Russell II. Bennett p,ir-i
chased the land by what is known as Sioux
half breed scrip Of one Arcanga Reed, q.
half-breed French. Indian, In Trempeleau
county, Wis. After Reed IA death, one Shill
lock, q land aiiark In Minneapolis, obtained
q pretended title from the heirs OF Mrs. Reed
and by thesuccessive transfers this pretend
ed title was conveyed TO r. J. Mendenhall
Of Minneap polls, who % virtually the plain;
TIT In the present suit y The case was once
decided by Judge Bennett In the district
court against the claimant under the Shil-
lock title, and it was during that contro-
;versy TINT the famous race occurred where.
In r. m Pettigrew nnd one Bottineau, each
with nm adverse deed, started for st. Paul
on the Same train, and When within, d few
miles OF Sioux Falls. Mr.. Bottineau and
other passengers in tae coach were left on
the track, while Mr.. Pettigrew, on the en-
gine was brought to town, thus, giving his;
deed nm hour preference on the record.
Judge Palmer decided that the Bennett
Pettigrew title Is good, and the Mendanhall
claimants have no valid claim. Thus ends
o. litigation OF material interest to d very
large number Of the citizens Of Sioux Falls,
and upon which tho improvements ars
worth.m more than half o million dollars.

that the canal will be completed in
