JAMESTOWN, Dak., March 5.-Deeds
were recorded to-day which transfers
the fine property owned by David Cur
tain, of Minneapolis, to syndicate of
Minneapolis and Aberdeen capitalists.
Part of this property was formerly COM
prised in Curtains Second addition to
this city, and the remainder in acre
property, makes the amount purchased
some 343 acres in extent. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars cash was paid for the
same, and in the general opinion
is cheap at that money, as some of the
land is within five blocks of the court
house and all in good location. The
sale was effected through Marion Conk-
lin, of this city, and as some of the pur-
chasers are heavy stockholders in the
Aberdeen, Bismarck & Northwestern
road, a quiet SurmiSe is made that the
sale means depot grounds and yard for
an extension of that line to this city
this year. The sale is the most. import
ant one of the winter, and is but one of
many real estate transfers now being
negotiated. Shrewd investors realize

any more wages than is paid by all the

seeking, but we know that the demands
of the men are just, and we can readily
convince any intelligent man of that
fact. And would the Burlington Of

which are, namely: 81 cents per mile,

The Men Were Not Knights, But
Old Brotherhood Men.

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-Edward
Kent, of New York, chairman of the
executive board of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, who has been
in this city since Friday last investigat-
ing the charges that brotherhood men
had taken the places of striking Knights
of Labor on the Reading railroad, left
for his home this morning. He mailed
the report of his investigation to Chief
Arthur last night. In it he took the
ground. he said, that the charges made
by knights that brotherhood engineers
had taken strikers places were grossly
exaggerated. He had made thorough
investigation of the matter and could
locate only one such case. The majority
of the men who had manned engines at
the commencement of the strike were
men who had lost their places in the
brotherhood's strike on the Reading
railway system in 1877, and had since
been unable to obtain work on loco

Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, Dak., March 5.-A Pull
man cond uctor on the Helena express,
Northern Pacific train No. 5, was held
up and sandbagged in his own car at
Buffalo, Cass county, last night. A
jamestown merchant, who was almost
an eve witness to the occurrence, says
the thieves, who were two in number,
did their work so quietly that the pas
sengerS, most of whom had retired, were
not aware of any unusual occurrence
until the report of pistol, fired in the
Scrummage, rang out on the Still night
air. The men entered the car and
finding the conductor asleep, slit down
his trousers pockets and emptled their
contents out. In leaving the car the
awakened the conductor, who Sprang OH
them. A lively scrimmage ensued,
during which the conductor was badly
injured sand-bagged and left insensible
on the platform. As the train pulled
out of Buffalo the robbers made their
escape and nothing has been learned of
their identity or whereabouts. They
secured $50, $6 of the cOmpany's money
and $50 of the conductors. The clothes
of the conductor were badly torn and
his face bloody when found. He was
left at Tower City in care of physician,
who pronounces his injuries serious but
not dangerous.

FARGO, Dak., March SIN connec-
ton with the assault on Conductor
Cowar on the passenger train last night
near Buffalo, Chief of Police Mead, of
this city, says he released two men from
the city Jail Saturday, one six feet two
inches in height, sandy beard, dark hair,
streaked with gray, and two first fingers
on lett hand taken off at first joint; an
Swered to the name Of Davis, weighed
100 pounds. The other gave the name
of Boynet, was five feet eight inches tall,
dark hair, blue eyes, wore No. z shoe and
about twenty-five years old. Both had
been held for vagrancy and ordered to
leave the city. The road officials think
these are the two men, as the descrip-
tionS tally with those given by Con-
ductOr COwan, and that they took
''blind baggage" to Wheatland, then
entered the car, Buffalo being the next
station. The engineer of the freight
that followed close after the passenger
says he saw two men on the track going
in the direction of Buffalo, but before
the train got close enough that they
could be recognized they ran from the
track several rods and faced the Op-
posite direction. The latest from Buff
falO is that two men were seen going

Dies MONIES, To-, March 5.-The cleo
tion here to-day resulted in the election
of j. L. Carpenter for mayor and the en-
tire Democratic ticket by majOrities
ranging from to 500. Outside the
First, Fourth and Fifth not much inter-
est was manifested, but in these wards
aldermen were chosen, and in each the
contest was hot, resulting in the cleo
ton of the Democratic candidate in
each instance. The Republicans tried
hard to draw party lines on the Inde-
pendents in order to give, as they
claimed, a boom for Senator Allison,
presidential candidate, but their tactics
signally failed. The labOring men voted
almost solidly for the Democratic ticket.
