Pat Killen Coming.

The Pat Killen athletic combination will
show in this city in the near future. Pat
Killen is on his way to San Francisco to
fight Joe McAuliffe, the heavy weight, for
apurse of $500 offered by the Golden Gate
athletic club. w. E. Gooding, the we'll
known base ball manager, is his manager
and expresses himself as confident that he
will bring his man out victorious. There
is considerable speculation in this part of
the country as to who will win the fight,
as the capabilities of both men in the
fistic science is well known. Killen is
very quick and strikes terrific blow,
while McAuliffe is slow although he has
the advantage of a longer reach. A great
deal Of money will be put up on the fight,
especially in st. Paul and Minneapolis
where Killen is general favorite. Killen
will guarantee to stop in four rounds any
man who will stand up before him, or
forfeit 800. Prof. Anderson will accom-
pany the combination and give exhibitions
with Killen. There will also be number
of light and middle weight boxers along.

Old Settlers Reunion.

| Jack WaldrOn of WlnOna, who was in
the city Monday with his 2SO pounds ply
sique, bathing his ruddy cheeks in Bis
marck sunshine, was asked if he intended
to be in the city on the Fourth.
II don't KNOW" he replied with an air of
disappointment. "You have advertised no
reunion of old settlers"
In reply to this objection to the pro-
gramme, Mr.. Waldron and all other old
timers are informed that there will be a
grand reunion of old settlers in Bismarck
on the Fourth. They are expected from
every portion of North Dakota; from Wi
mona and Williamsport, Washburn and
Dickinson, the Red River valley and the
Turtle mountains, from every nook and
glen between Canada and the seventh
standard parallel. Yes, indeed, it is be-
lieved there will be such number of old
settlers in Bismarck on the Fourth that
every group of patriotic ceIebrators will
have rollicking silver-haired pioneer as
one of its most conspicuous and most hon
Ored members.
Come on, with your stories of frontier
| adventure, your anecdotes of the days
when keno was the fashionable society
game and revOlvers were the supreme
judges in the court of last resort. Come
with the history Of trials and tribulations
which opened the way for those who now
enjoy the fruits Of your battles. and you
will be given celebration that will make
you feel that your labors were not in vain.
1t will be rip-snorter.

The Blooded Mandanites.


Yea, verify, these Mandanites are
blooded men. Wednesday large lumber
OF citizens from the fiourishing western
metropolis came to the capital to make life
interesting for their Bismarck friends by
shaking large rolls Of bills, or threatening
to shake them-in the interest Of the Man
dan base ball club, which will play the
Bismarck. team next Saturday. Among
the sportive and blooded representatives
Of the west Missouri patriotism and asand"
was Judge Campbell, who was reported to
have exclaimed In his most impressive elo-
duence that he would wager any amount
from $5 to $500 that the Mandan boys will
win the game. OF course there were no
takers. Judge Campbell has too many
friends in Bismarck to be robbed while
here.
But he who has not kind and sincere
frierds must not make his threats cloud.
There are men in Bismarck who are will
ing to wager any amount on the capital
city team and some Mandan money isvery
liable to be brought over the river on Sat
urday evening.
The special train to convey the people Of
Bismarck to the game will leave at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon and return Inn

Another Excellent Performance.

Another Excellent Performance.
Effie Ellsler and her superb company
gave another performance in the Athe-
neum Friday evening that was so far above
the ordinary that those SO fortunate as to
be present voted it a genuine treat. The
play was ''Judge Not" and Miss Ellsler as
Catherine Glare, the neglected wife, the
brilliant actress and the true woman, held
the unbrOken sympathy and admiration of
the audience to the close. Frank Burbeck
as Lord Ferndale was natural and impress
sive, and Orrin johnson sustained the role
of Philiph Vane, an artist, in manner
creditable to himself and to the comany. In
fact each and every member of the COM
pany does credit to the profession and the
Bismarckers who witnessed the perform
ances trust that Miss Ellsler will see fit to
revisit the city when circumstances will
permit of more liberal attendance. She
plays in jamestown this evening and will
close the season In Fargo tomorrow.
Good Report From Mercer.
John r. Cook OF Mercer county called on
the TRIBUNE yesterday, and gave report
of the crops of the west Missouri country.
He says that all grain looks we'll, although
wheat was slightly damaged by the warm
winds of two weeks ago. He will have an
abundant crop Of corn, oats and potatoes,
and fair yield of wheat. Mr.. Cooks wife
is the lady whose feet were so severely
frozen in the winter Of 's8 while attempt
ing to 60 to the school she was teaching.
The people Of Mercer county appreciate
her heroic services. and she Is now super
intendent Of schools In the county.

A Ho0Oler Who Didn't Believe ln Wear.
ing Collars.
An Indiana man who had moved tc
Dakota came to Washington one summer
day in 1885 to ask for IN Office. He had
formerly been . cons tituent of Hon. Will.
lam s. Holman, Of Indiana, and called upon
that distinguished statesman for his in.
dorsement. It was cheerfully given and
filed in the proper department. But the
office was not forthcoming. Then the
Dakotan asked Mr.. Holman to introduce
him to President Cleveland. Mr.. Holman
said: Il will do 1t il you will go and buy a
collar for your shirt / can't 20 to the
White House with you unless you wear q
collar and comb your hair"
The frontiersmau bought Q rundown
collar. and put it on wrong side up. Holman
never noticed the difIerence. They walked
into the White House, and the old man was
suffering torments all tho time, for the
points Of the collar were prodding him
under the. chin.
His mouth was full Of tobacco, and he
was unable to chuck his head forward to
e~xpectorate. Tho result was that his long,
black beard wa full of nicotine, his head
thrown ~unnaturally backward, and his face
pinched with discomfort, il not positive
agony. As they stepped out o. the front
portico Of the executive mansion, the
frontiersman yanked OF that collar. spat
upon the stone steps and said:

THE CROW INDIANS

Some Of the Things That Can He Seem II
Their Montana Reservation.
The Crows have got horses and cat
tie and show an ability to- hold on tt
them. There are on the reservation
SO.OOO to 40. OOO head of cattle and 25.-
600 head of sheep. belonging to white
men. For the grazing privilege the
white men pay so cents a head on
horses and cattle and 10 cents a head
On sheep. The money goes to the
tribe. The advantage Of this privilege
is that il let's the stOckmen out of pay
ing taxes to the county government
Tho ability Of the Crow to turn an
honest penny was illustrated recently.
when Troop X of the First Cavalry
was crossing Pryor creek on the way
to Livingston. Quartermaster Ed
wards was ahead of the command some
distance. looking for the best roads
and acting as pilot. He came to .
place where the water had spread out
over the road. making it almost i'm
passable. What made matters worse
the road was fenced in. Old Crooked
Face, a Crow, had his ranch at that
point. He made his appearance as the
Quartcrmaster vas specializing how
to get around the slough. 1t vas evil
dent that the horses would mire if the
troop attempted to cross. At length
old Crooked Face pointed to the fence,
and suggested that he take it down
and let the soldiers 60 through his
field. He concluded his proposition
by saving it would cost the soldiers
only 25 cents a piece. The Quarter
master declined without thanks and set
about plans to fix the road. It wasn't
but a few moments until the discovery
was made that the whole trouble vas
caused by the damming offs spring lei
BY. That had been don e with the evil
dent purpose Of making the water
overflow and ruin the road. Old
Crooked Face looked on until he saw
the jig was up. and tn en- an intensely
dis listed expression came over his
intelligent counter. nee.
The Crows haven't made such pro-
gress toward civilization as to put
their dead under ground. They still
incl0se the corpses in boxes and perch
them on platforms as high in the air
as possible. In q different climate .
Crow cemetery would be q nuisance.
Montana air makes mummies Of bodies
thus exposed. There is nothing in
one Of these places to offend 'he Oh

them their amateur cameras. have

the boxes. take out the dried bodies
and prop them in groups in order to
