EDITOR of the Bismarck Tribune, but, as he
yaid his board and room rent regularly, the
hsinuation that he was newspaper man
found but little credence in the boarding
house.
The whole snap was given away one
night when Marshal Jewell, on his way
home from a game of progressive euchre,
caught Hamlet in lakewood cemetery mon-
keying with a skull and muttering something
TO himself that sounded like New York.
Hamlet explained the popularity of his po-

There were no business men on the jury

was of hilarious disposition. In TACT, all
pictures of him, eXtant or otherwise, rep
resent him as being mOrOSe, with good

let seemed to get careless about his per-
sonal affairs and people came to look upon
him as a kind of chump and the boys
around the town used to call him a sucker.
This was probably true, for it is a fact that
he allowed almost anybody who came along
to play him.

latter dinner) it was remarked by several
of Hamlet's friends that he seemed to be
q little out of whack; not exactly plumb in
the attic. After long research as to the
cause of his strange actions, it was found
that early in the spring he had held four
kings against Maj. Edwards quartette of
aces and the discovery. coupled with the
fact that this strange and unseemly incident
occurred on the majors deal, sort OF raZZle-
dazzIed Hamlet'S cerebrum.
About this time he became infatuated
with Ophelia, which is Sioux for Pride of
the Kitchen. Ophelia was the only daughter
of Squaw Front, the head chief of the
Sioux and she was considered the belle of
the Missouri valley. She could ride a
bicycle equal to any dude on the reservation

she could knock out two or three that even

Ophelia used to wear blue soldiers
trowsers and Prince Albert coat that was
formerly the property of an enterprising
young man from the East who had died
molly and with great deal of credit to
himself, while trying to steal her fathers
favorite broncho. Hamlet made a good
impression On Ophelia aud it was generally
considered in select cirlces that it was a
match, but all of sudden Hamlet gave evil
dence that he was about to kick over the
traces and he finally fatty refused to
marry the girl. This made lunatic of
Ophelia. She used to wander around the
streets of Bismarck draped in mother
Hubbard. with daisies and hen feathers
transpianted in her hair, auctiOneering for
the man vino had so baSely deceived her.
She kept this up for several weeks and one

PAYMASTER WATKINS.

The case OF PaymaSter Watkins, Ol the
United States steamship Ossipee, who
WAS brought to this country from Japan
under sentence OF II naval court martial,
is a very singular one to people unac-
quainted with naval matters. This man
was an officer in the navy, under bond
Of $780, 900 for the proper disbursement oil
the Government funds entrusted to his
care, and he deliberately stole the funds
while on a foreign station, and made his
escape in a small fishing vessel going to-
ward the northern fisheries, in the hope
Of reaching home by a passage on an
American fisherman. The United States
steamer Monocacy followed and overlook
the fishing vessel in q bay OF the Rural
Islands, and brought Watkins back to
his ship. He was tried before a General
Court Martial, and found guilty of steal
ing the money entrusted to his care,
and the Court sentenced him to be inn
prisoned three years in an United States
Penitentiary at hard labor to receive half
furlough pay OF his rank for that time, and
then to be dismissed from the service OF
the United States. 1t is not known il
the Secretary OF the Navy, who has juris-
diction in all such cases, has approved
the finding and sentence yet, but it is
likely he will. Just why this thief, who
was an officer trusted more than others,
should be allowed any pay for the time
he is in prison, is not very clear to out
siders. Any enlisted man in the navy
who was proven guilty OF any Of the ordi-
nary crimes against naval discipline,
would not only not be allowed pay for
his servitude as Il convict, but would-as
is the rule-be sentenced TO lose what
pay WAS due him or that might become
due him, and he would leave the prison
penniless on eXpating his crime. This
man will--if the sentence is carried out
have something like So 900 due him from
the Government when his term of i'm
prisonment expires, Tor no other reason
than that he was an officer and trusted
with moneys. Such reason ought tC
cause an inverse action, and forced him
to pay in money to the Government
rather than to receive any, and the efiect
Of paying premium ON his dishonesty
