The Haymarket riot in Chicago. for completely

by the wild utterances of the socialists. The
facts connected with the riot, or, more properly
speaking, massacre, are so familiar to the news
paper reader that no extended rehearsal is
necessary here. The meeting OF anarchists, which
had been called by Spies and his accomp lices,
was in progress and Felden had just finished
MS speech, when large force Of police appeared
upon the scene. bomb was almost Instantly
thrown in their midst. followed Immediately by
a pistol fight between the officers and rioters.
The result was that seven policemen were killed
on the spot or died later in consequence of their
wounds and some thirty other officers were in

The trial took place in the criminal court, Judge
Gary presiding. Nearly three weeks were con.

The Red River Drainage Showing.

The following is the regular monthly re-
port OF the chief engineer. and makes a
gratifying showing for the time spent in the
field:
The work began July 80 in Polk
county at the junction OF the Sand Hill
river with the Red River OF the
North. The plan OF prosecuting the work
is by tracing the section lines east
and west, recording elevations at ca CHI sec
ton and quarter section corner, and such
intermediate points as may seem OF value.
The four instrument men start from q
common point and level on parallel Sec
ton lines usually checking on each other
at the close OF the day by means Of tie
lines, thus determining the comparative
value and correctness OF each man S work.
field map is kept in Connection with the
survey, which is corrected and filed in as
the work proceeds The map shows that
the east side OF the marsh near Beltrami
is ninety eight feet above low water mark
OF the Red river. Across the marsh from
the railroad there is a fall OF thirty
feet in ten miles toward the west
This slope is uniform and the
minimum fall will not be less than
two feet per mile, and probably can be
nude to reach the full average OF three feet.
East of the marsh the lines OF drainage are
not toward the stream, but parallel with
it. The lower Sand Hillseems well adapted
in size and fall for the outlet Of this district.
1t has number OF tributaries which termi-
nate at the west edge OF the swamp, and
which can be made available for drainage
outlets. Few, if any spots in the marsh
Indicate an alkali soil, and the surface wa
ter is sweet and suitable for drinking. The
sod is fifteen inches deep, below which is q
black soil eighteen inches to three feet in
GpntN SuhSnIl ci1v and fbraa
to six feet below the surface. The facts SO
far developed indicate that a plan can be
found for the successful drainage Of the
Sand Hill country.

A Negro Puts Four Balls Into Gen. Augu,

Gen. Christopher G. Augur retired, U. S.
A., was shot four times about L o'clock
Sunday morning, the 10Th inst, bySa
negro named William Pope. His wounds
will not prove fatal, although lie may be
confined to his house for some time. To-
day he was resting quietly.
Pope and another colored man were
standing in front of the Generals residence
using profane and obscene language when
he opened the door and ordered them
to move away. The only response he
received was a yolley OF profane
abuse and coarse epithets. This
was more than he could stand, and, armed
with a light cane, he rushed upon the two
men and struck Pope sharp blow over the
head. As he did so the negro drew pistol
and fired, the ball striking General Augur in
the right leg above theknee, and with cry
he staggered back. Before he could recover
himself, Pope fired again and the ball took
effect in the right leg. Two more shots fol-
lowed. one OF which struck the general in
the left leg and the other in the side. The
negro who fired the shots is a notorious
character who has already served term
in the penitentiary for murder. He has
been arrested.
