what Became Of the Natives.

That the ancient Catalinians were musical
there Is little doubt as remains Of flutes and
other instruments Of melody are found. These
were made of bone and connected by asphalt
tum. That they were peaceful is presumable
from the fact that few weapons of war have
been found. A sword made from the bone Of .
whale.an iron ak, few rusty arrows, flint spear
heads and knives that could never have been
used In warfare. complete the catalogue.
An inspection OF their places of lnterment
shows that bodies were put away in layers
tour to six in one grave, the lowest being the
eldest. Many household goods were deposited
In these receptaOles for the dead, which leads
to the belief that their religious rites. what
ever they might have been admitted of ma
tertal considerations. Where now are the
strange creatures of those unwritten annals
and their descendants is a problem aeitating
tne minds OF antiquarians. An Indian, claim

Gus existence by the sale of fsh, shells and

the flower trade. At a luncheon
party given by her some three weeks
since, the table was decorated with
willow catlins, and she wore a clus-

has strong backing for the retention of
his position. Judd Lamonre, who has
been here several days, left for home
last evening in company with P. Nc
Hugh, the member of the house from
Cavalier. 1t is generally conceded that
Lamoure will be the railroad commits
siOner for North Dakota under the
Mellette regime. This is not
authoritative, but all the political guess
ers agree on this point. John Bray, of
Grand Forks, is for peep at the new
slate. He says he wants nothing more
than fair appointment for Grand
Forks in the constitutional convention.

his office over to his successor, Com

An examination of the wreck showed

down the track into the darkness.
Firmly jammed into the most easterly
one was the coach. The ends of both
were smashed into splinters, which were
also strewn all over the track. The
truck of the passenger coach was still
on the rails, but had broken from the
body of the car, which was tilted up at
slight angle. The ends of both cars
were so crushed that it was difficult in
the darkness to tell where the one ended
and the other began. There was moth
ing left of platforms, and everything
was entirely demolished up to the trucks
OF both cars, which were standing on
the rails touching each other. Around
the scene of the disaster were railroad
employees and spectators drawn there by
curiosity. One man came down and
was nearly crazed with grief, crying
out: "My God! My Godl My poor
son! Don't tell me that! Oh God! Oh

father. The appearance of the wreck
indicates that the train was moving
faster than five miles an hour. If this
had been the speed no such smash as
occurred could have taken place. From
the appearance of things they must
have been flying along at very good
rate, as the freight train was standing
perfectly still. No train travelling at
five miles an hour, striking line of
stationary freight cars, would crush two
cars together as this did, sending the
stove and ironwork flying in every
direction.

ever, that if the returns show the same
relative gains and losses in the entire
city, Butler will be elected by about
1.200 majority. This claim is based
on comparisons with the vote in Novem

eight wards of the city show that Judge
Z. A. NoOnan, Democrat, for mayor, has
a total of 2S.715; Col. James G. Butler,

The wind has been blowing at the rate
of fully sixty miles an hour all day, and
with the high grass as dry as tlnder, the

scription. At o'clock word was
brought into town that the prairie was
on fire northwest of town, and immedi-
ately Hundred men started in teams
toward the approaching fire armed with
broOms and sacks. Arriving at Alfred

barus, granaries and cattle sheds were

his household goods that had been car
ried out by the family were burned.
Gne mile north of Browns place the
fire burned Henry Hagelfry out of his
every earthly possession. His house.
barns and stock were consumed, and he
barely escaped with his family. Across
the road from Hagelfry lived D. K.
Temlison, prosperous farmer, and
everything about his place except his
house was swept away. Five horses and
other live stock were among his losses.

be more than half burned up. The

The Republican Combination at
Albert Lea Gets a Black Eye.
Special to the Globe.
ALBERT LEA, Minn., April 2.-The
city election to-day was a sumner for
several folks. The Republicans who
run the machine decided that the Re-
publican party should and must rule
this city and especially hold all the
offices. and therefore, for the first time
in its history strict Republican caucuses
and convention were held, and full
ticket of true blues was nominated.
Mayor Wilkinson, who was renominated
because the managers knew that he
would run any way and that he could
not be beaten, was accepted
by the opposition as was eX-Post-
master Hanson, affair minded and
eminently qualified man, for
alderman. W. ii. Lowe, in the Third
ward, being indOrsed by the laboring
men, was also accepted. 1t was hot
fight, and the result twas the defeat of
every contested Republican nominee.
Richards, for alderman in the First
ward, had four majority over Parker.
Wiegand, for alderman in the Second
ward, beat Thomas by fifty majority,
and Brundet defeated Nelson in the
treasuryship by ffty-three majority.
This beats the machine slate for street
commissioner and assessor. and prob
ably will defeat City Clerk f. A. john
son, who is a candidate for reelection.
