WINNIPEG, Man, Nov. 29.-TrOuble OF
the most serious nature is likely TO be
caused by the recent Indian execution, and
it will be surprising TO most people If an
other Indian uprising does not shortly oc-
cur. Friday night at Battleford, where the
execution took place, the redskins gathefeu
in large numbers and held big pow pow:
The mounted police baTack was guarded
by large detachment and during the hlghV
the guards were fred upon No one w, was
shot and a return volley had no erect. Inc
Indians fled when the police fred Dut pur-
suit of them was impossible, OWING 10 dark
ness. This morning the INDIANS were on
their reserves as usual 1t IS likely that
thew have appointed time for general
attack on the fort. 1t is thought the police
will be able to repulse them. Dispatches
have been sent from Battleford to the gov
ernment asking that more troops be sent to
the Northwest at once. Govern
ment officers throughout the North
west are much alarmed and all
are preparing to defend themselves. Hang
man Robert Hudson was attacked by some
of Miserable Mans band yesterday, but
escaped. He is not likely to show up in
this vicinity again. 1t is thought probable
that the Indians will make the attempt to
release the chiefs who received a respite,
but who are to be hanged next week.

WahDetOn.

A curious hitch occurred here in the exer-
cises of Thanksgiving. 1t is the custom in
Wahpeton to hold union services on Thanks
giving day, with the sermon in a different
church by different pastor each year. Last
Sunday it was announced at the Methodist
church that the services OF Thanksgiving day
would be held this year at the Episcopal
church, while at the Episcopal church it was
given out that they would be held at the
Methodist church. Consequently, on the
morning of the Goth few wOrShipers repaired
to the Episcopal church. only to find it locked
and cold; while a few others assembled at the
Methodist church, which they found in pos
session of the painter and filled with strong
fumes of turpentine. At last, learning the
nature Of the misunderstanding, they dis
cussed the advisability of deferring the serv-
ices until evening and taking fresh start
But it was remembered that the city had been
heavily billed for special evening attractions,
both at the opera house and the roller rink,
so the matter was finally settled by going to
the Congregational church, where q fire was
soon started and Rev. G.. B. Barnes delivered
a fine discourse John Myhra, Hans Gal
chutt and few other prosperous farmers
are going to Norway this winter. The ap-
pointment of Capt. Mccormack to the terrific
rial secretaryship gives good satisfaction
here, although people would have preferred
to see him in the marshal's Office. A widely
signed petition was sent in from here for his
appointment as marshal. The disposition to
appoint old residents Of the territory is add
ing much to the popularity of the admins
tration. :. The firemens ball given at the
opera house by Reliance hose company Thurs
day night was brilliant and successful af-
fair. Our fire department is composed of
volunteers who supply their own uniforms,

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. ga document
extending over four columns of type, written
by Louis Riel during his last imprisonment,
and which he deposited on the morning Of
his execution in the hands of his spiritual
adviser, Father Andre, for publication, was
issued at Montreal last evening. 1t is a
lucid. comprehensive and remarkably well
written history of the Northwest terrific
ries and how the MetiS residents have been
treated by the government since
the confederation in appropriating
their lands. which he claims
consisted of half the territory without the
compensation accorded to tribal Indians.
The efforts made to get justice fer the
NIetis before the rebellion occurred are
clearly set forth, and he gives instances OF
the bad treatment to which half-breeds
were subjected. The whole is written in a
calm style. without any apparent acrimony
or desire for vengeance against the cabinet,
and its pathos and eloquence are never
rambling and incoherent as in other pro
ductions of RieFS.

Competition has kept up prices and secured

WINoNA, Mimi, Nov. ga very large
and important meeting of the board of
trade was held on Saturday evening to dis
CuSS the proposed removal of the large
Bohn Manufacturing company to St. Paul
This company represents one OF WinOna's
leading industries, employing 100 men,
winter and summer, and the proposition
made by the st. Paul chamber of commerce
to induce it to remove its extensive factory
from WinOna naturally aroused the deep
interest of the leading business men of the
city. Mr.. Conrad Bohn. the president of
the BOhn Manufacturing company, ad-
dressed the board In regard to one of the
grievances which had induced his company
to seriously consider the proposition above
referred to. He stated that the imperfect
railway facilities which the company were
compelled to put up with often subjected
their manufactured produces TO serious de-
lay, and that expense of switching this
from the Chicago u Northwestern track to
the Milwaukee u St. Paul road, and vice
versa, amounted to very important item.
They were compelled to pay the North
western road 81 for every car switched to
or from their tracks. and this expense alone
in the past year amounted to Sl.S00. Mr..
Bohn stated that this was one of the i'm
portant reasons that had made them con-
slider the matter of the removal to st. Paul.
There were others which he would not
make public, but if the board of trade could
be the means OF remedYing the railroad IA
cilities referred to his company would be
favorably influenced as regarded their re-
naming in Winona. Remarks were made
by Assistant General Superintendent San
born and Assistant General Freight Agent
Hallenbeck of the Chicago & Northwestern
road. and by B. H. Langley, division
freight agent of the Milwaukee & st. Paul.

The river steamers which have run from

at the Bismarck levee. The Rosebud, Eclipse,
Gen. Terry and Undue are at Rock Haven.
on the west side of the river, about two miles
above the Bismarck-Mandan bridge. The
season has been profitable one for the
steamboat men. The notable feature in river
traffic of the season has been the increase of
freight and passengers at numerous landings
both above and below this city. The river
channel is still free from ice.. 1t writing OF
the appointment of Mccormack errors have
been made in several papers as to the emolu-
ments of the Office of secretary of the terri
tory. The salary is only 81, 500, but the fees
for certified copies of laws, acts of incorpora-
tion, etc., and for filing certain papers amount
to $4,000 to ST, 600 per year. The forgery of a
letter from Washington published in the
Tribune this week has been traced by the
handwriting on the envelope, which is recog-
nized and can be proved. The correspondent
whose name and nom de plume have both
been used has been furnished with the facts
and will probably institute a criminal prose-
cution against a somewhat famous Dakotan.
Dennis Hannipin has received his first SUBJ
script1On to the Stanley Huntley monument
fund.- At the depot the other day, stranger
stepped from the west-bound train and find
ing Hannipin on the platform, addressed him
and offered to contribute to the fund. Han
nipin declared that he was not yet ready to
receive subscriptions; he was having books
printed to make complete record of the ex-
animation he proposes to make regarding
every person proposing to subscribe. But
the stranger was urgent; he was on the way
to his home in San Francisco and might never
have another opportunity to subscribe. Dennis
yielded and put the stranger through his
catechism: ''What is your name?' s'Thom-
son, without p.'' ''Profession or occupa-
tion?' Gambler 'tLucky one!' eyes"
"How much do you propose to give?" Zone
dollar" ''Are you an admirer of genius?'
eyes ''All right; pass over your dollar and
your name shall come next after mine on the
books.' The money passed, the two shook
hands and parted and Hannipin has de-
posted the cash at the Capitol-National to the
credit of the Huntley monument fund.

an extra session of the legislature; and,
Whereas We, the board of trade and citizens
of this village of Zumbrota, do not approve
of said extra session for the following reasons:
first that it will involve heavy and unneces-
sary expense without equivalent return, and
second, that there is no legislation of su fl
cient Importance needed at the present time
to warrant the expense Of an extra session;
therefore, be it Resolved, By the Zumbrota
board of trade, that we earnestly protest
against the calling of an extra session, and
petition the governor that such extra session
be not called; and be it further Resolved,
That the secretary of this board is hereby in
structed to forward copy of these resolu-
tions to the governor of the state.
