BISMARCK. N. D., Feb. 13.-In the
house the investigating committee on
the lottery bill asked to be discharged
for the reason that it had no power to
compel the attendance of witnesses. The
house refused to- discharge the committee
and vested it with the power to send for
persons and papers. There will be two
committees on the same subject, and
they ought to be able to get the bottom
facts. The senate investigating COM
mittee held two sessions, everybody be-
ing sworn to secrecy, ever the witnesses.
Rev. Simmons, of Fargo, was the first
witness, but he did not know anything
of his own knowledge. He was, how
ever, satisfied from the nature of the
business that Doodle must have been
used. Banker Lyons, of Fargo, was
also before the committee ar 1 corrected
some of his testimony. Mr.. Hamlin,
special correspondent of The Pioneer
Press, was summoned before the com
mitteee, but declined to appear on the
ground that the resolution under which
the committee was acting was not broad
enough to compel him. The committee
has not announced its decision in the
matter.

loud report of a cannon was the signal
for the boomers to enter the Sioux reser-

proclamation. Hundreds of teams with
great loads of lumber started on a dead

PIERRE DESERTED.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 12.-The news that
the president had issued his proclama-
ton opening the Sioux reservation was
received with the widest kind of ex-
element, and ever since the town has
been a perfect pandemonium of excite
ment. Immediately after the news
reached here there was a grand stampede
and rush for the reservation lands by
the bands of boomers and settlers who
have been patiently waiting for the
opening. The military authorities, how
ever prevented the would-be settlers
from crossing as they had received nc
official notification of the opening of the
reservation. 1t vas not till this norm
ing that the order arrived. When
the fact became known vehicles of
all kinds were Immediately called out
and packed with men of all classes, and
there was an exciting race for the reser-
walton. Everybody who could get trans
p~ortation over joined the excited crowd,
and those who could not went on foot.
Over they went pell nell, without wait
ing for anything, bankers, clerks, BOOM
ers and all, each and every n trying to
he first to get in the promised land. In
thirty minutes the town was practically
deserted, stores were closed and business
practically suspended. Fully 5000 people
were in the crowd, and they are camped
over what was yesterday the home and
hunting ground of the Sioux nation, but
tonight the home and property of those
who have waited long for the day when
they could take possession of the rich
lands and cultivate the soil.
SOME TROUBLE AT FORT PIERRE.
At Fort Pierre the situation is serious.
The bulk of the crowd first struck that
village, and Immediately commenced to
claim town lots, there being ten claim
ants to one lot. Some trouble has al
ready arisen, and the indications are
that there will be some thrilling scenes
gone through with by those who are dis
putting the possession of lots.

was but a few inches in thickness, gave
way and the little ones were precipitated
into the water. Their shouts were heard
by the members of the family, who lived
near by, and the father and mother
rushed to the rescue. By the time they
had reached the lake the four children
had disappeared beneath the ice. The
mother, frantic with the thought of her
drowning children, rushed upon the ice,
which gave way with her weight, and
she sank below the surface. MI. Slater
then attempted to reach his wife and he,
too, was drowned. The entire family is
wiped out of existence. Hundreds of
people are gathered about the lake
