pump out and put in shape six hun

Jones arranged a spout from the pump
with such a surprising degree of &C

up vigorously during the day, meas

pressing his disgust with the slowness
with which it went down. About4 p. M.

almost every direction, never finchsd for an
instant. Every corps continued steadily on the
aggressive, and by ten O'Clock the enemy was
almost silenced. They resumed again shortly
and fighting was again heavy. The artillery,
two seven Founders and gatling gun, did
good work, repeatedly drawing the enemy
from their cover. At eleven o'clock the enemy
was again about sllenced. Colonel Otter had
already given orders to withdraw from the po-
sition Of such disadvantage. The Indians, OBJ
serving this, endeavored to cut off the retreat
OF the men. Our troops fought their way out
inch by inch, the front always to the enemy.
No praise is sufficient to describe the courage
Of our officers and men. Everyone showed
himself hero. Colonel Otter, with his staff,
was in every part Of the field, and his orders
were cool and decided, as IL it were a sham
battle The men were badly used up before
the ithdrawal began. Our force was CON-
posed OF seventnAs mounted police and scouts,
part Of battery Of Ottawa foot guards, men
OF the Toronto infantry school, few of the
Queens Own rifles and the Battleford rifles,
1t is thought that from thirty to sixty of tho
enemy were killed. The column returned to
Battleford Saturday night.

ing, in company with Attorney Q. F. Temple
ton. Dir. Hutchinson is representative Of
the Vermont colony, Of which much has been
said In tho papers Of late. The colony is now
composed Of about one hundred and fifty per-
sons, and is steadily increasing in numbers.
They are all thrifty New Engianders, who
have become dissatisfied with that section and
decided to try'their fortunes in the northwest,
Mr.. Hutchinson and several other gentlemen
came over some time ago and have been pros
pecting beth In minnesota and Dakota for q
desirable location. They have been through
the southern part Of the territory and are now
looking over North Dakota, having already
visited Devils Lake, Hope and other points.
MIR. Hutchinson says that lie and his associate
prospectors are much better pleased with
North Dakota than with any portion Of South
ern Dakota which they visited, and he is in
slined to think that they will settle either in
the neighborlood Of Hope or neaf Crookston.
MINI. They will make thorough examina-
ton of the country, however, before coming to
a decision, and the colony will come out q
soon as practicable after choice Of location Il
made.-Fdrgo Republican,.

A Big Sale.

Samuel Glover, Of Delaware, Ohio, purclas-
ed the past week, through Robinson. Button &
Co., Of La Moure, 10000 acres of lauil contipu-
GUS to that point on the Fargo Southwestern
road. This gentleman is extensively engaged
in farming in Kansas, and is surprised to ind
upon personal inspection that this section Of
Dakota has so much merit, and canpst under
stand why lands so cheap, and 1T the same
time near the railroad and Lanoure, could re-
main unsold until the praaeat time. The cash
price paid averaged over three dollars per acre.
All through the past winter Mr.. Glover has not
only been in correspondence with the firm
above mentioned, but MAS read up everything
which he could lay his hands upon connected
with Dakota, and finds upon personal exami-
nation that nothing has been oveBtated. CON-
pairing this country with Karsas he finds that
Dakota has many advantages over the other,
section, especially for the poor man. He has
decided 10 break up q large portion Of the land
this season and procure farmers from Ohio to
cultivate the same next season. He has also
bought lots in LaMoure and contracted to put
up a $1,000 residence. Fargo argus

Death Of Danicl yNilliam,.

1t again becomes our painful duty to an
nounce the death Of an old and respected citi-
zen. Mr.. Daniel Williams, father Of Mr.. G. H.
Williams, departed this life at the residence Of
his son, near Colgate, on Saturday evening last
at 6 o'clock, at tile ripe old age Of S. years and
& months. Mr.. Williams formerly resided at
Saginaw, Michigan, from which place he came
to Dakota about two years and half ago to
join his son, with whom he has almost con-
stantly resided for the past thirty years. For
the past five years Mr.. Williams las been
afflicted with blindness, and it will be consol-
ing to his old friends and acquaintance to
know that since his residence iD Dakota he has
had the tender care of loving and sympathiz-
ing hearts and been surrounded with every
comfort that the most earnest solicitude could
suggest. His funeral was probably tho most
largely attended Of any that has rs yet taken
place in this neighborhood, 1t being estimated
that there were at least one hundred persons
present. Rev. 0. P. Miller conducted the SER
vices Oh the sad occasion. In this connection
Mr.. c. H. Williams desires us to return his sin
cere thanks to his neighbors for their kind at
tention and assistance during tho illness OF his
father and for their kind expressions of sym
patlly since his demise.

The Northwestern WAR.

WINNIPEG, Man.. May 6-Battleford, May
5.-Colonel Otter, with three hundred and
twenty troops, started to Poundmaker's reserve
Friday afternoon. They drove all night and
at ten minutes past five Sunday morning began
severe engagement with the Indians. Eight
Of our men were killed and thirteen wounded.
The attack was begun by the Indians suddenly
and 1t looked as if a trap had been set for US,
into which we ran. The enemy were strong
and estimated at six hundred, and fought
fereely from cover, while we were compare
lively open to their fire, fighting from the brow
OF the hill, over boulders. Five minutes after
the first shot was fired we appeard to be COLL
pletely surrounded. Fifty men were sent back
to clear the rear. We had come through deep
gully, thickly wooded, with swift stream
running through on one side. The men sent
back made q brave dash and accomplished
their object, thus lessening the danger Of the
situation. The fighting, which was all skirln-
ishing, was over large and uneven stretch OF
country, and our men were working at a great
disadvantage, but they stuck to it like heroes,
and with bullets whistling in on them from

Trees VIII Grow.

The Bismarck Journal relates something Of
the experience Of Col. William Thompson, the
veteran soldier and pioneer, in tho raising Of
trees on the Missouri slope. He took up the
first treee claim in Burleigh county and that
land district, located a mile or SO north of the
capitol building. He filed Oh it eight years ago
and has about fourteen acres Of trees, mostly
box-elder and ash, raising from the seed. On
his homestead adjoining lie has also cotton
woods, naples willows and catalpas. He has
succeeded in growing evergreens to some ex-
tent The chief obstacle he has had to contend
with were animals Of various sorts. He has
in all perhaps half million trees, some Of them
a foot in diameter, and has done good SER
vice to that section in showing that compliance
with the tree claim law will secure forest trees,
