A One-state Man.

Hon. r. H. Mcbride, Of Mitchell, while
in Chicago a few days ago declared himself
in favor of admission as one state. Being
questioned OH the subject of the admission
Of the territories he said he had little to
say about the matter. but added: "I am
for the admission of Dakota as one state.
l believe it is best from q business point of
view. I was of this opinion last winter,
and always have been and still maintain
that view of it. 1 saw Gen. Samuel Stur-
gis in st. Paul a couple of weeks ago and
he made n suggestion that was new to me.
He said he was in favor of the admission
of Dakota as one state from all stand
points except one, and that was the mill
tary view Of the situation, He said it
would be better to admit Dakota as two
states, because it is q border territory. He
thought it was not n good idea to have the
larger states of the union next to o foreign
power, US in the case of Dakota. If the
government would have trouble with Brit
ish America, and Dakota was disposed to
act Independent in the matter, it would be
much harder to control thar a small state.
He pointed to Texas, and said that state,
in the event of war with Mexico. might
give the government a great deal of trouble
if inclined to side with the foreign pow.

Not Dead. Hut sl.eping.


Charles Leindecker, of Des Moines. has
found some relief from the anxiety dis
turbing him the past few days. His TO-
year-old son was sent out to perform
chores about his farm early Sunday morn
ing, and when ne failed to appear at the
dinner table, and latter for supper, it was
feared that all was not right with the lad,
and a search was instituted. After three
days disappearance, the boy was found
asleep III q hay NOV. He was carried into
the house and placed in a comfortably
warm room, when he again fell asleep.
The supposition is that the lad was very
tired. and getting under the hay soon went
into a slumber. It seems peculiar, how
ever, that he had remained in that condi-
ton for three consecutive days without
waking: The boy has come out of his
long sleep feeling quite comforted and
rested after his first-class repose, and the
alarm at first felt is wholly alfayed.

a lively one. One young lady, who

Riot Between Russians and Americans.
A serious riot between Russian Memo.
mites and Americans occurred a few DAYS
since at the farm of o man named Sink,
near Trirp, where n public sale was III
progress. A man named Merchant p,,r-
chased some chickens, and when he came
to leave the place found that they had been
taken from his wagon. He went to Sink,
who told him to take something else in
their place. He caught a goose and started
home, but vas soon overtaken by some
Russians, who claimed the goose as their
property. The wrangle attracted others to
the scene, and a general fight ensued. Two
brothers named johnson were passing near
and went to the assistance Of the Ameri-
cans, who were o~utnumbered. The fight
by this time had become fierce. Il is
claimed that the johnson boys both drew
knives and rushed among the combatants
and one had his arm broken with a neck
yoke. While in the act of stabbing a
Russian named Witt Mayer the other
johnson had his head badly split open
by o blow from u neckyoke. It was feared
that he would die but he is now recover
ing. All the parties to the affair ore very
reticent and it is difficult to get facts.

Minnesotians who stayed at home are en-

Riviere Tongue, on the Sd of November,
