BISMARCK, Feb. Now that the

committee to investigate into the al
legged devious winding affairs of the
Jamestown insane asylum and the COM
mittee is appointed, those members
from South Dakota who hungered so
yearningly for this information will
doubtless not be satisfied, for it will
only divert public attention temporar-
lily from the Yankton Institution, the
affairs of which are said to be i'll the
last stages of decomposition. But still,
some enterprising business methods
adopted by the jamestown trustees,
it is said blythe knowing ones, will
be brought to light, and if it
develops that they are any improve
ments over those in other public insti-
tutions, other boards of regents should
feel duly grateful for the pointers re-
ceived. F. E. Jones, the member of the

pital, who has been so promiscuously

A LIVELY AND HEROIC FEAT
Of a Present Dakota Legislator, Who

Special to the Globe.

CAssEITON, OAK. Feb. IA some
what amusing story is told OF Hon. j. y.
Smith, the present member of the legis-
lature from steele county. Mr.. Smith
is native of Canada, and some ten or
twelve years since, while Ell route TO
Dakota, he had the pleasure of making
the acquaintance of that well-knOwn
king of confidence men, Canada Bill"
They met casually on the train, and
few hours after the acquaintance began
Smith was loser to the extent of $500
on the old WORKOUT three-card monte
fake. 1t was all the embryo statesman
had. and he made most vigorous kick.
During the excitement that followed
the exposure of the game Canada Bill'
succeeded Ill reaching the platform
and, although the train was running
thirty miles an hour. he leaped from the
cara trick he often did to avoid arrest
and trouble with his
vERDANT SUCKERS.
Smith promptly followed him out on
the platform, and, taking in the Situa-
ton at a glance, he also jumped from
the train, landing gracefully on the
back of his neck amidst a hurricane of
sand and dirt. While the train moved
rapidly out of sight the confidence man
and his victim eyed each other. Neither
was injured and both seemed to mean
business. At last Canada Bill pulled
his gun and started down the railroad
track, swearing that he would shoot
Smith if he followed. And right here
the present statesman began his diplO-
matte career. He called to his adversary
to listen for moment and then he
poured forth an eloquent appeal for
aid; he was broke and stranger among
strangers: if the Hon. Canada Bill
would only loan him part of the money
of which he had been robbed, say $40,
he would be content and would squeal
no m ore; all he wanted was enough to
reach Dakota, and if the stranger would
give him that amount he would ask for
no more. Canada Bill' was willy
scoundrel, but he was
THROWN OFF HIS GUARD
by Smiths eloquent appeal, and ShOv-
ing the gun in his pocket, he readily
assented to the proposition ana began
counting out the money. While thus
engaged Smith approached him, and
moment after dealt the sharper blow
that rendered him almost unconscious.
Smith is a powerful man, and he eXer-
cised his strength on this occasion to
good advantage. He gave Canada
Bill:' most thorough threshlng, took
his gun away, al recovered the amount
he had lost, and, it is said, quite
larger sum for interest and foreclosure
of the debt. He then pointed straight
east and told his enemy to fy-which
he successfully did. Then, lesurely
pursuing his way westward, he landed in
Dakota and has become one of the most
successful business men of the territory,
being elected almost unanimously last
fall to represent Steele county in the
territorial house of commons.

CASSELTON REACHING
For Fargo's Agricultural College,
and Hubbard Winking, With
COrnS on Both Hands.

Special to the Globe.
CAsSELTON, OAK, Feb. lit is be-
lieved here that if the agricultural col
lege is removed from Fargo it will be
located at Casselton, instead of Valley
City. This is the best point in North
Dakota for such an institution. 1t is
also believed that if there is a prejudice
among the members of the legislature
against Fargo, it does not extend to the
rest of CaSs county. Among the Fargo
crowd now at Bismarck trying to hold
the college and secure the constitu-
tional convention is Hon. n. K. Hub
bard, who has larger interests
here than at Fargo. 1t is in
timated by Mr.. Hubbard'S friends
here that he has given them assurances
that he is doing his best, on the quiet,
to get the bill passed locating the col
lege in Casselton. He can work to adj
vantage, too, inasmuch as he knows all
the plans of the Fargo lobby, One
thing that has worked to the diSadvan-
tage of Fargo is the presence of Lawyer
lilly among the lobbyists representing
that city at the capital. Such men are
looked upon with distrust by the men,
berS of the legislature, who are deter
mined not to be influenced by lobbyists.
Mr.. Hubbard is probably the strongest
and most influential of any of the Cass
county lobby now in Bismarck. He is
looked upon by the farmers as their
friend and not professional politician.
He is the owner of several farms in the

ABERDEEN, Feb. 1.-Considerable in
terest attaches to the case now before
the district court of G. A. Bliss and
John II. Drake VS.. The City of Aber-
deem. The point in question is the
ownership of the strip of land sixty-six
feet wide and 1000 feet long known as
Railroad avenue. 1t lies adjoining the
original plat to the city on the north.
extending from Main to Jay streets.
G. ii. Prior was the original owner. He
decided it to Nathaniel B. Dore in 1887.
Dore plated it as Dore's Addition to
the City of Aberdeen. 1t was subse-
quentIy transferred to G. 0. Bliss and
John II. Drake. The city claims that
Prior plated it as street in his original
plat, and so represented it to purchasers

therefore condemned it. and upon

Special to the GLOBE.
ROLLA, Feb. 1.-The year 1888 came
very near passing away without Witness
ing the birth of new boom town in
North Dakota, or the opening up to set
Element of a new section of country, as
has been the rule during several years
passed; and, but for the ST. Paul, Mini
neapOlis q Manitoba railway, 1888 would
have been an exception to the rule.
The Manitoba company, late last
fall. built sixty miles of new
road, which fact was hardly
known outside of the immediate
section of country through which it
runs, nor does the Turtle mountain
branch of the st. Paul, Minneapolis 10
Manitoba railroad adOrn any of the new
maps. The road branches off from the
main line at Church's Ferry and runs i'll
north westerly course through to the
boundary line, a distance OF siXty-one
miles. The country through which the
road passes is beautiful undulating
prairie, and compares favOrably in rich;
ness with any to be found in Dakota.
THE tn RTLE MOUNTAIN
is a well timbered district, covering a
strip of country forty miles long east
and west. and twenty miles vide north
and south, and is situated in the north
part of ROlette county. The Manitoba
road runs along the east boundary OF
this timber district, and at the point
where it first reaches this mountain in
it's nOrthward course. and nine miles
south of the boundary line, is situated
the newest boom town,
ROLLA.
This town was plated the LIST of OctO-
Der, and has made remarkable growth,
which was made possible by the mild
weather prevailing the fore part of the
winter. Rolla now has two large eleva-
tors. one bank, one newspaper, one
church, one school house, two hotels,
two livery stables, two lumber yards,
three general stores, one drug store. one
hardware. three blacksmith shops, two
wood dealers. saloon, machine dealer,
harness maker, and other small fry, be-
sides dwelling houses. This we think
beats the record of any town in North
Dakota for 1888. The boom, however,
is not over. but
WILL OPEN AGAIN
in early spring, as numerous buildings
are contemplated, among which may be
mentioned large hotel, Methodist
church, an elevator and graded school
house, besides numerous dwellings,.
This is no mushroom growth, as the
town is advantageously located near the
timber. which renders cheap fuel, and
has been quite factor in the growth Of
Rolla, as there's have been hum
dreds of carloads shipped from this
station. The remarkable feature of the
country is that this region entirely es-
capped the frOsts which worked so much
injury in many parts of Dakota. Our
elevators received during December 800
bushels of No. hard wheat per day on
an average.

which he says, is all he asks. He has
fine building for the purpose, with a

critics, all of which is idle on account of
the ''modesty" of the city council, many
of whom were at one time his. best Gus

he should be placed in this awkward
position. 1t is not his purpose to make
money. only sufficient to make good
what mis- building is worth for rental.
This would afford him all the income he
requires. But now the council refuses
him the license, he makes another prop
osition which would seem to merit the
careful consideration of all interested in
the future welfare of the present and
