Results in the Resignation of
supt. Dickenson.
Special to the Globe.
BUTTE, Mont, Dec. 5.-The strike of
the engineers and firemen on the Mon
tana Union railway seems to be getting
more complicated. The men had
meeting at the engineers hall, in South
Butte, this afternoon, when they
stated their grievances to the Min
ers' union and committee from
the trades assembly. They after
wards called on Supt. Dickinson, who
told them after hearing their grievances
that he had sent in his resignation to
President and General Manager Oakes,
of the Northern Pacific, and to Manager
Kimball. of the Union Pacific, who OPP
crate the road jointly. The men wanted
to arbitrate, but under the circum-
stances they could get no satisfaction.
The meeting tonight, held at the Min
ers' Union hall, gave permission to the
Anaconda Mining & Smelling company
to work ten engines to supply their
works with ore, and also to take
the amalgam and other supplies to
their destination. Master Mechanic

machine shops. 1t is said that num-
ber of the old men will be employed at
once by the Chamber syndicate mines.
Fifteen hundred men were rendered
idle to-day, and the Alice mill was also
shut down for want of fuel. Every
thing is quiet, the men saying that the
company can employ whoever they
please, as they have quit work OH ac-
count of the arbitrary manner of Master

GOLDEN COMES TO GRIEF.
A Well Known Mill Man Jailed on
Serious Charge.

Special to the GLOBE.
FARGO, Dak., Dec. 5.-Patrick Golden,
well known in Fargo, and Moorhead in
particular and the Red River valley
generally, having for number of years
been connected With Moorhead mills,
was placed in jail to-day Oh warrant
sworn out by E. E. Hazen charging him
with obtaining $1,000 by false pretenseS.
Mr.. Hazen alleges that two years ago
Golden came into the Office of his
brother. A. III. II azen, accompanied by
another man whom he introduced as
George w. Fry, of indianapolis. He,
Fry. wished to obtain a loan OF $1,000
on a section of land he claimed to own
in Lamoure county. Golden stated that
he had known Fry for a long while, and
knew he owned the land, a description
of which was given Mr.. Hazen. The
records showed that the section named
was owned by one George w. Fry, of
we'll acquainted with Golden, he sup
posed his representations in the matter
were true, and made out an application
for the required loan without misgiv-
ings. Nothing wrong was suspected
until the following December, when
Mr.. Hazen mailed to Mr.. Fry in Indian
apolis the usual notification of interest
being due. Fry wrote back that he had
never obtained loan on his land. and
consequently did not owe any interest.
He soon came On to Fargo and con-
vinced Mr.. Hazen that he had been
duped. Golden and the alleged Fry had
in the meantime disappeared, and moth
ing has since been known as to the
whereabouts of either of them until
yesterday, when E. E. Hazen saw
Golden on the streets and had him ar

TOILERs IN TROUBLE.
Miners will Form an Organization
Independent of the X. OfL.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 5.-DistrIct AS
sembly 135. K. of L., held session this
morning, at which it was apparent that
an effort would be made on the part of
portion of the delegates to leave the
assembly and join with the Federation
of Miners in the formation Of
an independent organization for
the district. L. Y, Powderly was
present and made speech. in which he
set forth the Importance of standing by
the order, and making certain promises
in behalf of the miners, and resolution
was adopted to meet with the federation
in joint convention in the afternoon.
The federation held meeting also dur
ing the forenoon and decided that they
would accept no proposition at
the Joint convention except that
There were about ninety delegates
present at the joint convention. They
at once proceeded to discuss the call for
the formation of new organization,
and large number of speeches were
made. When an adjournment was taken
the delegates opposing the new organ
iZation and supporting the K. of L.,
were given to understand that they need
not return to the evening session
unless they were willing to pro-
ceed with the miners to organize
independently of the Knights of Labor.
Tonight it was decided that the new
miners organization should proceed.
w. L. Lewis, master workman of Dis
trict 135, will tender his resignation.
The vote on the proposition for the in
dependent movement was about equally
divided. Those who remain with the
district, it is understood, will elect as
master workman their worthy foreman,
John Rae, of Coalmont, Pa. The
territory represented by the dele
gates who joined with Lewis in the
formation of the independent organiza-
ton extends from Garfield county,
Pennsylvania, on the east including the
anthracite regions. to Kansas on the
west. The organization estimates fol-
lowing of So per cent of District Assem-
bly, 135. While they leave District 135,
they still claim to be members of the
Knights of Labor and will have their
membership elsewhere. The proposed
new organization is discussing pre-
Iiminaries tonight, but will not reach
the election of officers.

PURELY POLITICAL.
The Alleged Detection i'm the G.. A.
II. Takes Il New Form.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dee, 5.-The
movement started by Adjt. Gen. KoOntz
and few associate Democratic veter-
ans. looking to the withdrawal of the
Democratic members from the Grand
Army of the Republic. and the
formation Of 4 new benevolent
soldiers organization or order, is
given an entirely different coloring to-
night from statements directly from
Adjt. Gen. k0ontz. who seems to be the
fountain-head of the movement. Very
little information has heretofore been
obtained from the Adiutant General by
the local press correspondents, but he
is charged by the Evening News with
keeping correspondents of distant pap
ers we'll informed with his plans and
prospects. Mr.. KoOntZ stated this even-
ing, in an interview, that the new organs
izatiOn was not antagonistic TO theG.A. .R.
He claims that all newspaper state
ments to the contrary are in error upon
this point; nevertheless, the point is q
new one here at home. The adjutant
general emphatically declares they are
not fighting the Il. A. Il. The cOnstituA
ton and bylaws Of the new organi2a-
ton are not yet forthcoming to the pub
lie. A meeting of some fifty Demo-
cratic veterans was held tonight,
presided over by Adjutant General
KOOntz, at which an executive
committee was appointed by the chair,
with instructions to press the organize
ton of subordinate posts throughou5
the state. From Democratic veteran,
familiar with the new movement, it is
ascertained tonight that the entire
character of the movement has
undergone recent and radical
change. He admitted that the
original idea was to induce the
Democratic member of the G. A. R.
to withdraw and found another benevO-
lent order, something on the same plan
as the G. A. r. This project, however,
has been completely abandoned, and in
its place movement Is substituted to
simply form Democratic veteran polit-
ical clubs, membership of which will in
in no wise conflict with G. A. r. MEM
bership. The new clubs are to be
purely and openly political.

Reservation.
Under It's Provisions the Red
Man Will Not Be Con-

{ WASHINGTON, d. c., Dee. 5.-Dele-
gate Clifford, Of Dakota, to-day intro
duced bill amendatory of the law pro-
viding for the division of the great
Sioux reservation in Dakota and for the
REIMBURSEMENT of the Indian title to the
remainder. That law was enacted at
the last session of congress. The COM
mission appointed under it to treat with
the Indians failed t0reaeh q satisfactory
agreement as to the proposed division.
The bill introduced to-day amends
the law as follows: The reserva-
tion is to be opened without the
consent of the Indians, while the
consent. The sum of s2,0O0,000
is to be deposited to the credit of the
Indians, instead of the S1,000,000 pro-
vided fer last session. The lands
thrown open to settlement are to be
paid for at the following rates on lands
entered for settlement during the first
two years after the opening of the res
ervation, 81 per acre; all lands taken
during the next two years, rs cents per
acre, and so cents per acre for the resi-
due undispOsed of at that time. The
law of last session proposed to pay for
the lands at 80 cents per acre. A fea-
ture of the amendment is an apprOpria-
ton of $1,000 to defray the expenses
of surveying the Lands opened to settle
ment.
Senator Dawes, while not entirely
committing himself, says enough to
warrant the positive assertion that he
will not adhere to his former demand
that the consent of the Indians shall be
obtained. He reiterated his statements
in the GLOBES July interview that
unless the reservation shall be opened
the lands will likely be stolen. Hence
heFis in favor of Gifford's bill to open
the reservation without the consent Of
the SaVaGeS.

EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISES,
Which Are Making Fergus Falls
Deal of Trouble.

Special to the GLOBE
FERGUS FALLS, Dec. 5.-There PROM
ises to be lively skirmish between the
gas and electric light company and the
city this fall. The relations between
the two parties have been slightly
strained for some time past. The 9th
inst. is the date when, according to the
gas contract, a readjustment of rates
shall take place. if either party is dis
satisfied. The present rate is $40
per month per post, and the city
council thinks it too much. lis claimed
by some of the aldermen that the gas
contract is not valid, and they propose,
if the company does not come down on
its rates, to test it in the courts. The
council held special meeting yester-
day and adopted resolution notifying
the company that no more gas will be
purchased until new contract and
cheaper rates are obtained. The gas
company. holding that its contract is
good, will no doubt go on furnishing gas
and charging for it, with the prospect
of a lawsuit if it is not paid for. The
recent consolidation of the gas and elec-
trio light companies, which have hereto
fore been antagonistic, leaves the city
in bad position to have very much of a
fight, for of course the streets must be
kept lighted and both companies have
exclusive franchises.
