Civilization now encounters great
barrier at the Missouri river; the course

banks of the stream. Towns. almost
cities, have grown up. The prospector

A WEIRD LOVE STORY

in Height.

BISMARCK, OAK, Nov. o. Indian
legends may come and go, bat acct
dentally brought one to light the other
day which Is undoubtedly the the most
weird and narrowing of any yet related.
The history of this legend dates back in
the 40's, the realistic drama being en-
acted in the southern portion of the
then great land of the Dacotahs, in the
Silver-Tongued Hollow, now known as
the Smutty Bear Bottom, few miles
on the Missouri river above Yankton,
the former territorial seat of govern
ment. Smutty Bear is strong Indian
sounding name, and the writer has
never been enlightened as to whence
the queer title is derived, though
ne has lived there many years. Strange,
unique relics, and oftentimes the whit
ened bones of white people are found
in this fertile valley.
About twenty years ago an exploring
expedition discovered the skeleton of a
human being of extraordinary dimen-
sions near Silver-Tongued Hollow.
They had no doubts as to the frame
being that of an Indian, as the original
prominent cheek bones of the dusky
race only too plainly indicated the fact.
When in life this gigantic Indian must
have been all of
NINE FEET IN HEIGHT.
What a grand and imposing feature
he could cut riding across the prairies!
Reader, imagine yourself confronted by
an Infatuated redskin of such monstrous
height! The explorers were startled
and mystified beyond comprehension,
and at first cnarily examined it, least the
mOnstrOus mass of bones should arise
and annihilate them on the spot. In
dian history for the past generation was
diligently looked up, but in vain, as the
existence of suchNa lofty race of savages
was never chrOnicled in its truthful
pages. So the matter dropped, and has
not been revived these twenty long
years. The explorers kept secret their
remarkable find. and sold the skeleton
to European parties for fabulous sum.
While coming up the Missouri some
four years ago, l stopped at one of the
Indian agencies stretched along its
banks. Here l met an Old chieftaln
named Golden Eagle, who is now in the
happy hunting grounds. He was re-
markable old brave, his snow-white
locks falling in heavy mass upon his
dropping shoulders, and he must have

LOCALOPTION DOWN.

The Business Men Of Fargo Pro-
nOunce Against 1t as Bad for
Them.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Nov. 9.-Local option is de.
feated by from 700 to 900, the logical
result of a fruitless attempt to stop the
sale of liquor by the enforcement of a
law to which the business men of the
county are opposed. Saturday preced-
ing the election business mems meet
ing was called, and resolutions to de-
feat the law at the polls were adopted
and signed by some 600 OF the business
men. They were at the polls, and
worked the day through, with the re-
suit as above stated. Some of the
friends of the law claim that the brew
ers and blind piggers accomplished
their defeat, but this is a mistake. 1t
was the business men of the county,
the men who have money invested here,
who contributed so successfully to the
humiliation of law which has cost
the county thousands of dollars without
cents worth of return. These were
not drinking men, not saloon lOungers,
but the temperate, earnest business
men of Cass county, who saw the doom
that awaited further continuance OF
this attempt at temperance reform.

enter into street fight while his good
wife is on her knees ringing church

pOsterous. But the people of this
county are naturally good natured. The

great credit, and have cut notches all

quent in the extreme; Attorney Ami
don, who can whoop it up all on moral
principles; Attorney lilly, who is al
ways justified in talking a longer time
than others, because his ideas are
farther apart; Attorney Maj. MaglOne,
who. though small in stature, is always
sensible and logical in what he says-a
young but rising lawyer, who makes
friends wherever he goes, and has dono
yeoman's work for Edwards. Others
have vented their thunder, and. usually
to pretty good advantage for the re-
Spectiye tickets.

the Stupid Red Fellows.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, OAK, Nov. 9.-Over the res
ervation matter Pierre has not entirely
lost hope, and is already moving in the
matter of having her representatives in
Washington again to labor this winter
for the passage of bill opening the
tract, this time without the submitted
clause attached. Pierre, together with
the country at large, believes that there
has been enough of damphoOlishness
in the matter of treating with the
red men of the Sioux res
ervatiOn, and doubts not but that
con :ress will look at the matter in the
same light. Consequently. with such
men of ripe experience as Hon. John j.
Kleiner, Hon. p. F. Mcclure. and others
in Pierre still to the fore, the Sioux res
crvation bill has not been negatived by
any means, but will come up in congress
this winter in stronger shape than at
any time during the past seven years,
while Pierre, with other sections, have
been laboring for the same ends. They
may meet distractions, but the thing
has got to be, and the Sioux reservation
opened to settlement, and that in the
near future. This has become evident
to all and Pierre will make her last best
effort to see that it is done. In this she
will not be without plenty of assistance
this time from all around.

THE DEMOCRATS DID WE'LL.
They Picked a Legislator, Sheriff
and Other Good ThinUS


The Democrats, with the exception Of
John u. Batson, are probably all elect
ed, and it would seem to man across
the ditch that had a straight Democratic
ticket been nominated it would have
been successful beyond doubt. The
cutting and carving process would not
have been so much engaged in, and
every Democrat would have labored
earnestly for the success of the ticket.
The farmers and Republicans opposed
to high tariff and ring rule would have
voted with them and a Democratic
ticket would have been elected by
small majority, while in the election
just passed it has heen more a fight
against and between Republicans than
between Democrats and their oppo-
nents. But it is too late to criticise or
find fault. The election is over, good
men have been elected and the rest
must be left to time and Providence.
