RAvRNswooD, July 4. - Last nigh
about ten o'clock the farm of Robert Bates
located on Mud Ran, about six miles from
here. was the scene Of one of the most das
tardly attempts at premeditated murder
that has agitated this county for lonG
time Bold, unprovoked and infamous IN
it's object, this crime has occasioned In
tense excitement and horror throughout
the community.
Robert Bates, the victim, is highly re-
snected and substantial farmer OF thi'
conntv. About two hours after Mr.. Bate;
and his wife. who slept in the same room
though in separate beds, had retired, h'
was awakened By feeling a band on
the covering OF his peo' ln
stinctively throwing out his hano
in the dense gloom pervading the room, ne
orasped a hand holding revolver. AZ
the same instant the weapon was exploded
the ball taking effect in the calf OF Mr..
Rates leg. He still retained his hold on
the wrist of the unseen assassin and strug'
gIed desperately to arise from the bed,
though pressed down with the weight OF
his midnight assailant. In the struggle
the weapon was discharged five times IN
ranid succession, Mr.. Bates succeeding IN
perverting the aim of the bullets, they
lodging in the bed and walls OF
tbe room. Though an old man OF
ifty-fve years and physically the
inferior, he at last succeeded in rising ana
backing his would-be murderer from the
room and locking the door in his lace.
Not s a word had been spoken by either in
tbs strneele and only after Mr.. Bates had
pushsd his foe from the room did he call
for assistance, his cries evidently frighten-
ing the villain into making bis escape.
Help came promptly and the wound was
dressed, which, though not necessarily
fatal, is yet serious. -
Suspicion stronly points toward a dis
ranntsble character. and threats Of vio-
1o,ca hava heen made against him.

ST.. PAUL, July 40 the average
Northwestern mind ordinary methods Of
celebrating the Fourth of Jnly to-day
seemed to be entirely inadequate to give
expression to the pent up rejOicings of the
people who were bidding farewell to their
territorial swaddling clothes and stretch
ing their limbs as tull-fedged members OF
Uncle Sans State family. The news Of
the passage and signing OF the famous
omnibus bill, ;" while the snow was still
on the ground, was the signal for an i'm
prOmptu Fourth of July celebration,
bat the people chose the great
centennial independence day for
their greatest rejoicing, that day
having been set by Congress as the time
for them TO meet and perfect their consti-
tuition. The two Dakotas felt an added
cause for rejoicing in the beginning OF
the end in the negotiations for the
opening of the great Sioux reservation
to settlement, and from every little set
tlement with its metropolitan hopes and
aspirations as we'll as from the more pre-
tentiOus cities of the former territories,
come reports of great rejoicing over the
realization of their labors of these many
years.

Of 1885 located the Capitol, big celebra-
tion was held, with Hon. S. s. Cox rs ora

Washington there was much rejoicing

unanimous in the celebration of the day.
