A Warning to Pistol Carrier.

Last night between 9 and 10 O'Clock q party
of young negroes were on L street, between
Goth and 2lst streets, engaged in boisterous and
disorderly conduct. The men and women
were hugging each other when Special Of6cer
Robt. johnson appeared and attempted TO ar.
rest them, whereupon one Of them drew q re-
volver and fired shot at the officer. Wesley
Banks was the member of the gang who was
captured, and he had a loaded revolver in his
hand when the officer arrested him. This
morning when the prisoner was taken before
Judge Miller he was charged with carrying
concealed weapons and with disorderly con-
duct. Judge Miller made some sharp COM
ments on persons who carry pistols, and said he
proposed TO stop the dangerous habit, IL possi-
BILE. by imposing the maximum penalty. The
prisoner was thereupon fined $50 or ninety
days for carrying the pistol and e5 or fifteen
days for disorderly conduct

A Beautiful Tribute.

Editor Streeter of the Williamsport Rec
ord pays the following beautiful and
touching tribute to Mrs. Streeter, deceased:
DlED-Friday morning, December &c, 1889, at
2:5O o'clock, Mary Josephine. wife of D. R.
Streeter, in the 18th year of her age
She had been sick for several days, both
before and after the birth of her tiny baby
girl. No onethought she was in immedi-
ate danger until few hours before she
died. She passed away peacefully. She
expressed wish to be buried on the home
stead, where her husband and little ones
might be near her as in life She leaves
two bables-Frank, aged 20 months, and
the tiny girl which is but week old: and
two foster children (Clarence and Ethel),
aged IL and years respectively, to wnom
she was truly mother. She has been the
writer's guardian angel since we were
married, nine years ago, and her words of
encouragement have always been ready to
help him. She it was who first advocated
the founding of the Record. 1t has been
her pride, and she alone deserves credit for
its success. No halting faith in the future
of her chosen home was hers.
In the past all was light-in the future
all will be darkness.
And now. true, bright, happy and loving
spirit, goodbye! And if, in that better
land, knowledge of the affairs of earth is
given, mamma-dear mamma-watch over
the babies.
Bismarck weekly tribune., 1889-12-27
Found Dead.

George Haigh, an aged Englishman, who
has been in Bismarck since 1881, was found
dead in his room in the Slattery postofice
block at noon Friday. For some time
Mr.. Haigh has been employed as porter in
G. r. Williams place. On Monday last he
showed signs of weakness, and although
he was ambitious to continue work Mr..
Williams insisted that he should discon-
tinue and go to his room for rest.
He was offered nurse, but said that
he was able to care for himself. He re-
mained in his room, and at noon yesterday
Mr.. Williams went to the room, as he had
done daily, to ascertain his wants. He was
lying on his bed dead. Coroner Webb was
called, but an inquest was not considered
necessary. as death was the result
of age and debility. Eight dollars and
and seventy five cents was found on his
person. Deceased was native of York
shire, England. He leaves two sons in
England, but had no relatives in this coun-
try. His nearest friend is John Struthers,
the sexton, who came with him from Can
ada to Bismarck. The funeral will take
place at 2:S0 p. N. tomorrow from the post
office block, and as he has no relatives
here, it is hoped the people of Bismarck
will turn out and show him that respect to
which his honesty, integrity and industry
In life entitle him.

Diesem's Overcoat Found.

1t now appears that Henry Gordon, the
colored conversationalist who was so in
indignant at having been arrested Tues
day night on the charge Of having stolen
c. S. Diesem's overcoat, will have pretty
rocky road to travel before proving his in
nocence. Having read in the TRIBUNE the
notice of the theft, Ike Hayes came down
town and reported that Gordon had been
stopping at his house, that he claimed to
be without money and was permitted to
remain without pay. Tuesday night he
offered to give Mrs. Hayes a silk scarf as
pay for her kindness, but the offer was de-
clined. AS there was silk scarf in one of
the pockets of Mr.. Diesem's overcOat, a
search of the, Hayes premises was made
and the overcOat was found hidden in the
barn. This leaves no doubt in the minds
of those who have investigated the case as
to the guilt of Gordon. Hayes deserves the
credit for furnishing the proof.

Mrs. streeter Dead.

Mrs. D. R. Streeter, wife of Editor Street
er of the Williamsport Record, died Fri
day morning at 8 O'Clock, from a COM
plication of diseases following child
birth. This is sad news to the peo-
pie of Bismarck who knew Mrs. Street
er as faithful, industrious and plucky
lady-kind, generous and christianliKe.
She had many friends in Bismarck and
throughout the Missouri valley, and the
bereaved husband has the profound SYM
pathy of all. The Emmons county people
who were In the city yesterday were
deeply .gtieved by the news of Mrs.
Street4r's death. Among the citizens of
the county she was held In afkectiOnate
esteem for her exemplary life, her devo-
ton as . wife and mOther and her her0ism
In foregoing all the luxuries and pleasures
OF the east to assist her husband in the
battle OF pioneer life. Her death is not
only 9 terrible blow TO Mr.. Streeter and
the children, but an irreparable loss to
EmmOns county. The funeral will take
place at Williamsport.

May Come Via Bismarck.

A correspondent in the New York World
in specializing on the probable time to be
made by Nellie Bly,, who was started on a
trip around the world by that paper, says
she may reach Hong Kong at time when
one of the Northern Pacific steamers is
leaving that port for the United States.
If she does this she will pass through Bis
marck some time during the latter part Of
January, provided she is on time. She is
attempting to travel around the world in
seventy-fve days and at last reports she
was two days ahead of time. She is now
en- route to Singapore, south of Siam.

Slaughter Items.


The sleighing is exceptionally good this
year. With excellent roads and plenty of
snow trip to Bismarck, behind a fast
team, is a rare treat.
MI. Erie Backman went to his old home
in Michigan on Thursday. Mr.. Backman
is the owner of a fine farm in that state,
but his homestead at Slaughter is fast
gaining on it in value.
The enterprising owner of section II
near by, has contracted with our farmers
for 400 acres of breaking next spring which
will be sown to wheat.
Herr ]. Christ Hilken, with his parents
and brother have arrived from Bremen.
Germany, and located on section Is,
near Slaughter. They are valuable set.
tiers and find already here among our set
Tiers many Kind cOuntryMcn who are de-
lighted to welcome them to their new home
in America.
Our people are watching the proceedings
OF the legislature with interest. This To-
cality has suffered much during the last
few seasons from the ravages of gophers,
and it is sincerely hoped that our state
legislature may, not be too dignifed to
enact laws to aid the struggling farmers
on our pralries, to exterminate the mis-
chieviOus animals that yearly cause such
serious losses to our crops.
The recent action of Hon. E. A. Williams
in ensuring official investigation of the
coal deposits of the state. gives much sat
isfactiOn to his constituents in Eckland
township. Ignite abounds here in ex-
haustless quantities. Every farmer owns
a mine, and with capital for their develop
ment and means of transportation to Bis
marck, Slaughter will become the depot of
this rich coal region and an important
manufacturing center. Our people made
no mistake When they cast their solid vote
for Williams and Rawlings.
The seed wheat bill is another measure
in which our farmers are interested. Only
those who are actually engaged in opening
alize the discouragements attendant upon
the farmers lot. and the state should aid
and encourage their heroic efforts to the
utmost.
