puzzle to the attorney and the court to fix
its status. But little time was occupied

Tom Fortune, Bismarck's faithful cham
pion and ~rustler, has gone to Fort Buford
with a gang of men, where he has work
enough to keep them busy most of the
summer. He has been awarded a con-

dertaken and his name is sufficient guar
antee of success in all ventures.

laid up at st. Louis four days and lost some
time at other points. Between Kansas
City and Sioux City a bad piece of river
was struck, but her captain, big Dick Tai
bot, says she slid over the bars like butter

up light, drawing about twenty inches of
water. With 100 tons of freight, she will
require but about so inches Of water.
The Chaske is a we'll built boat, with
good machinery and good accommodations

The other officers of the boat are Nels

John Morgan Shoots Himself Instead of
The Other Man.
AT go o'clock yesterday morning pistol
shot was heard in front of the Cafe Royal
on the Fourth-street side. A number of
policemen gathered at the spot in few
minutes, as well as several newspaper men
on their way home.
Upon reaching the spot it was found that
man was just rising from the gutter,
while another was gazing about in a dazed
condition.
Both were placed in custody and taken
down to the Southern Station, where the
following facts developed themselves. 1t
seems Mr.. Frederick George, an Aus
tralian solicitor, who has recently reached
CALIFORNIA; shores and was but few days
| ago admitted to practice in her courts, had
| been in the Cafe Royal with party of
| friends, who, upon coming out prepare
| tory to going home, We're standing on the
| curb engaged in conversation, when man
| of no mean appearance, but considerably
| under the Influence OF liquor, came up and
| accosted the party
None of the party knew him and paid no
further attention to him than to turn their
backs on him, WhereupOn the stranger
| jostled up against the young Australian,
who being Il man of splendid physique,
nearly six feet tall and weighing no less
than 200 pounds, and not accustomed to
such salutations in his country, gave the
d
back out in the street. The moment the
stranger fell pistol was fired. Both men
were taken in custody, and upon reaching
the Southern Station the stranger gave his
name as John Morgan, which was probably
not his correct name. Upon being searched
he was found to have besides the pistol
taken from him a gold watch, diamond
ring and diamond Stud and some money.
A charge OF carrying concealed weapons
was booked against him, and lie was about
to be locked up fer the night when it was
found that the pistol shot had gone through
his oyerc0at pocket and upon closer
examination that 1t had penetrated his own
right leg. The wound had not bled any
and he had felt no especial Inconvenience
from it, except that he thought he had hurt
his leg in the fall. lie declined to talk
about the matter further He was taken to
the Receiving Hospital, where the bullet
was extracted by DR.. Key.
In the morning he was released on bail in
the sum of $3.50

Chinese Hop-Pickers Out on a Strike of
Their Own.
The great American custom of strikes
has grown to be reyerenced most devoutly
by the Chinese and there is considerable
discomfort, vexation, annoyance and even
anticipated financial loss in consequence.
Yesterday John J. Glacken, a hop-grO wer
near Brighton, had some forty Cinnamon
and about fourteen Indians working for
him. The boss Chinaman was coming into
town and asked Glacken when he would
need any additional Cinnamon. Glacken
said he would not need any just then, but
he might about Wednesday. Returning
soon afterward to the hop fields, Glacken
noticed that all the Cinnamon had stopped
work and were resting. He inquired of
one of them what was the matter, and was
informed that if he liked indians so much
lie could get all his help Indians. Glacken
has a contract with the boss Chinaman, by
which the latter has to pay forfeit for all
loss of time by the men. Meantime, Glacken
has taken the Indians, whom he had hired
from Merkly and Castleman, to whom he
had lent their services, thinking he would
not need them for while. Now, those
gentlemen are temporarily without help.
