Talk of a Vigilance Committee.

Special to the Globe.
SIDNEY, Neb, Nov. 1S.-The coroner
here to-day held an inquest upon the body
of Martin Collins, who was shot aead last
Sunday at Camp Clarke during drunken
quarrel at cards. Six witnesses were eX-
amined. The testimony was very conflict
ing, three teStifying that lin Shaw fired the
fatal shot and three that it was jim Col
Inns. The jury returned a verdict that
Martin Collins came to his death from a
shot fired with felonious intent by Jim
Shaw. In the wainscoting of the building
where the murder ocurred. the bullet, be-
leved to be that which passed through the
head Of Martin Collins, was found, but
there is some doubt upon this point. as the
walls of the room are riddled with bullets
fired by cowboys who meet there i'll carousal
after every roundup. Shaw and Jim Col
Inns are both still in Jail. The affair has
created such excitement that there is talk of
organizing vigilance committee.
The Fergus Falls Appointments.
Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS. Mimi. Nov. 1S.-The
appointment of Laurance Anne and Thomas
F. Cowing to the land office at this place
has created great surprise and is the most
important SuOJecI OF cOHFeISatlon on the
streets. Laurance Anne is Norwegian of
about 50 years. He has been resident
of this city several years and is engaged in
mercantile business 1t is thought the ap
pointment was made with a view of bring
ing the Scandinavians into the Democratic
ranks. Thomas f. Cowing, the new reg
iste1, is an old resident of Alexandria,
where he is engaged in the farm implement
business. 1t is thought the appointments
will give general satisfaction, although
some thought it was not right to go to
Alexandria for man for Fergus Falls
Office.

It is rumored that City Attorney Holem-

less he withdraws rather than remain in a
quarrel, where victory would bring neither
credit nor profit, while malodor would at
tend either result But the public will con-
clude that the attorney has been vanquished

four discharged soldiers, three discharged

Butte, all plentifully supplied with money,
took possession of the little town and for
three days and nights painted it red" All
of the saloons had riotous run of business,
all the fast women of the place were drunk
and the eight celebrators wasted their am
munition and cash, while peaceful or timid
citizens sought retreats where stray bullets
and drunken men or women could not in

kind, the order-loving people hope to have a
village charter, a police force and lookup.

THE REPORT DENIED.

Special to the Globe.
STEELE, Dak., Nov. 1s.-The dispatches
sent from Steele regarding Messrs. Conger,
Wilcox and Smith are substantially untrue
Mr.. Conger resigned his Office as district at
tomey in pursuance of an intention long
since had by him. No charges of any
nature were preferred against him, and the
board of county commissioners, upon his
resignation. passed resolutions of regret
and appreciation of his efficient administra-
ton of duty. No charges have been pre-
ferred against County Clerk Wilcox and
Sheriff Smith, except petition addressed
to the board of commissioners by a rabble of
disappointed politicians and the charges in
such petition are too untrue and uncalled
for to excite anything but disapprobation
upon the part of our community. If the
matter is pressed in respect to Messrs. Will
cox and Smith. their complete vindication
is an assured fact. EDITOR OZONE.

Mr.. J. x Dunbar, general superin-
tendtnt OF the Erie Telegraph and
Telephone company, has isEued cir
culsr In which he claims that all other
tele phuaes are but inirlngements on
the Bell, and intimates a danger to
people who may subscribe to any other
service. In Mt Dunbar's circular oc-
cura this paragraph:
The earliest aud most formidable opponent

the manner OF the Western Union
transfer was very favorable TO the
Western Union, Us by the terms Of the
transfer 1t reserved 20 per cent. Of the
Bell company's etock aud prohibited
the latter company from sending writ
ten messages.
1.-THE Bell company had such an un.
questionable isgdi priority, why did
that organization resist the putting
into Fort Worth Of anc ther service !?
Surely, the Bell Telephone company
would not have raised such racket
about competition n that competition
had had no legal right to compete.
When tho Pan Electric company
first entered Fort Worth the Bell com.
pany tried TO bulldoze this city into
keeping the Pan people out, but now,
when the Bell subscribers are trsns-
ferrlnR their patronage 10 the Pan
Electric, Mr. Dunbar talks nice to
Fort Worth and tells the city what
the Bell company hsA done for IL.
A. for the comparative value of the
service, the subscribers OF the PAN
Electric can judge for themselves.
Oar people remember the kind
of service they got from the
Bell company when there was nc
competition, and they know what
hind ofeerviee the Pan people are Civ,
