After a Grizzly Boar.

Dan CASTILLO, of 'nickel plate circus
fame, is somewhat of a s~atirist. Some
time since he was a patient listener to
several '~harrowing' yarns related by
some of the California pioneers, in
which hair-breadth escapes and person.
al exploits figured prominently. When
Dams turn came to spin u tale he VOL
unteered the following:
Several years ago myself and my
five companions started up in the Clear
water country for the purpose of kill
ing a grizzly bear. One day we struck
camp IN an immense canon, calculating
on the morrow to scour the surround
ing wilds for the 'varmin,S' which we
knew were lurking in the vicinity. We
had scarcely set IL tent-pegs and kim
died our fire when we OBJ crved to our
horror, a large band of Indians, array
ed in fierce war-paint, descending the
opposite slope of the valley. A hurried
consultation was held. We were too
small in number to thing of giving bat
tie to the approaching foe, and. there
fore, it vas decided hat our party
should separate, each taking a differ
ent direction, hoping that the savages
would abandon further pursuit. The
arrangement was Immediately acted
upon, and I chose for my route of re-
treat a seemingly easy path, which led
down the canon. You can bet that the
grass did not grow under my feet; but
imagine my horror when, upon looking
back, l saw the entire troop of red dew
lis in wild pursuit of me, having forsa-
ken the balance of my party and appar-
emily concentrated all effort toward nv
capture. 1t was a thrilling moment.
l strained every nerve and muscle and
ran with the velocity of a deer down
the wild canon, bounding over rocks
and leaping past the trunks of fallen
trees. Suddenly I was compelled to
halt. The canon had come to an alb
rupt termination. In front and on
every side nothing but perpendicular
walls of rock hundreds of feet high met
my gaze. l had entered a natural ba-
sin, the only way of egress from which
was the canon down which l had Just
travelled. Looking back, l saw that
the Indians had reached the mouth OF
the pit, not twenty feet away. 1 strug-
gled wildly for liberty, but escape there
was none"
"Well,' asked an anxious listener,
rs CASTILLO paused in his narrative,
"what did you doP'
"Do?' echoed Dan, "what in hi
could l doP l died right there" And
the gathering of yarn-spinning pioneers
adjourned for the evening.-San Fran
cisco NeWs Letter.

Father L'hiver, Catholic pastor at
Dunseith, writes the Times of that place
as follows: We read in the Manitoba
Press of April 10, thus: "Turtle Noun
tain Half Breeds Uneasy." and this pur.
posely, it seems. in biz, lid letters.
We answer authoritively because we
have charge Of the half breeds, and live
with them. We must say to the Press,
firmly but politely, that this is altogether
untrue, not to say Through civil
ity we refrain from branding the report
with SANDER and lie. The half breeds
are working and seeding, and living in
perfect peace and harmony, and the
Press would de better to get It's informa-
ton from the right source, and moreover
to mind its own business. 1t has enough
to attend to in the northwest part of the
Dominion.

The Turtle Mountain Times assume

The Turtle Mountain Times assumes
a very serene attitude in contemplating
the great advantages afforded that region
by reason of an intense degree of
rivalry which it imagines is in existence
between the two railroad points ON the
lake-meaning Devils Lake and the
west end. The Times is m%isinformed;
there is but one railroad point on Devils
lake, and that point is here at the city
of Devils Lake. The N. P. branch is
several miles away from the west end,
and late developments would seem to
indicate the date when it will touch the
west end is indefinite. Work has been
stopped for several days. The Times
constituency will save money by coming
here whererth the very best railroad facili-
ties are enjoyed, where goods are sold at
St. Paul prices and where the U. S. land
Office is located.

ODESSA, April 27.-Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Van Horn arrived home last Friday
from New Jersey, where they have been
spending the winter and visiting among
friends. Joe says not a kernel Of grain
had been sown when he left, nor did
he see any seeding along the road until
he got into North Dakota. He also
says this country does not look so rough
as it used to, and as for winter weather,
he suffered more the past winter than
he did here a year ago, which was the
hardest winter this country has known
for many years.
Miss Mabel Calderwood also arrived
by Fridays train, and the Calderwood
boys now wear u broad smile. Miss G.
is pleased with Dakota and intends to
take a claim and stay.

Eight Miles n Day for Health,

In a conversation with a newspaper
man David Dudley Field gives the
secret of the remarkable vigor which
he has maintained to the end of four
score years, and he says that its value
would have been very great to him half
a century ago, preventing a peril from
which he narrowly escaped. A knowl-
edge of his recipe will be especially
profitable for all young men in cities.
ut is TO daily exercise in the open air,
temperance and regularity of habits
that l attribute my perfect health" he
says, and he shows how it is possible
for any young man Of good constitu-
ton to maintain robust health, even
though engaged in the arduous pur-
suits of professional life in the busiest
of the cities of the world. 1t is to be
hoped that MI, Field may illustrate his
theory of health by continuing his daily
walk of eight miles for many years,
and that the celebration of his centen-
NAL birthday may give the climax of
emphasis to the lesson which he i'm
parts.-NeW York Mail.

Political,

New York Times: No one can tell
exactly how for the president will go in
asserting his fidelity to the public
interest and his independence of the
politicians, but we should say that the
latter would do we'll to content them
self with an attitude Of '~'observation''
more or less EARNED"
Brooklyn Union: The divorce between
party service and public Office has been
accomplished up to a certain point, but
if the advance already made is to be Sc.
cured it must 60 further. The president
has shown respect for more than the
letter of the civil service law; he has
manifested a determination to act ac-
cording to its spirit in cases which the
law does not over. Anybody who thinks
that this is u single and easy thing to
do, need only open his eyes and ears
for the next few months to be rudely
undeceived.
New York Herald: We trust that
President Cleveland will duly appreciate
the Importance of calling congress
together in case war is declared between
England and Russia. Hostilities be-
tween these powers will give the United
States a commercial opportunity unprec-
edented in our history. A declaration
of war will convert every British and
every Russian flag on the ocean into the
flag off belligerent, and every American
flag into the flag ola neutral. This fact
is one of vast and ~far.reaching signifi.
cance to our nation.

mankind.

Starkweather has shown her high admi-
ration of this broad, great, grand and
golden northwest by her early return to

We are informed 10y Peter T'raynor
that he has spent several winters in the
west and east, but the past one spent on
his choice half section here was the
most pleasant of all. 4 few cords of
wood in addition to a small quantity of
hay constituted his fuel He asserts
emphatically that a farmer can winter
cheaper, better and with more enjoy
ment in Dakota than he can in any
other part of the American continent.
The portion of his time that is not occu-
pied by attending to his farm stock can
be advantageously spent in repairing
his farm implements, cutting wood,
twisting hay, etc., while during the long
evenings he reads his choice books and
papers. So you see there is no time for
mischief.

ODESSA. April 23.-We are very much
panied to hear of the serious illness o.
our old friend and neighbor, Mr.. T. G,
Stevens. Mr.. Stevens is one of the early
settlers in this town; he "proved up" on
his homestead last fall and returned tc
his former home in Plymouth, Iowa
His son and daughter, H. E. Stevens and
Mrs. Ella Graves, have just received
word that their father is at the point of
death, with scarcely a hope of recovery;
and Earnest took the train this morning
to 60 to him. Mr.. Stevens many friends
will anxiously wait for further news from
him in hope that the case may prove
less serious than it appears.
Mr.. Rice has recovered from his ill
ness and is again at work.
Seeding is again in progress. The long
rain was rather d~isagreeable, but never
theless welcome, and it will more than
pay for the delay it caused.

A Complaint.

Ed. Inte7-Oceun: l have written to
that turncoat of a paper called the
Democrat-News which says they are
paid for county printing matters; but
for the benefit of the people I desire to
say through the peoples paper, the In
TER-OcEAN, that we recently voted $500
bonds to build a school house one and a
half miles west of Bartlett, and have
twelve children who would attend. We
located the school convenient to the
children and let the contract. When
the frame was up w. H. Standish
stopped the work and put up notices to
vote the school into Bartlett, where
there are no children. The dead beats
and loafers in Bartlett will vote away
the rights of the children that we desire
to benefit. Yours,
PATRICK NORTON,
School Director, Bartlett Town.
