Charged to the Indians,

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 1.-THE Jour
nails Fargo special says T.. S. Underhill,
one of the railroad commissiore of North
Dakota, resides at Antelope, west of the
Missouri river, where he is interested in
stock raising. He reports deplorable
condition of affairs among the ranchmen of
his district from the recent almost unpre-
dented prairie fires. Between Hart and
Cannonbau rivers the destruction has been
almost complete, while about Killdeer
mountain and east of there nothing has
been lett for stock to live on. The loss has
been quite heavy, the fire travelling with
such rage as to go completely through the
villages. In almost every instance in the
valleys the small farmers lost their crops
and feed for winter. The ranchmen are
inclined to lay these fires to Indians from
the reservation WHO come up into the
valleys of Hart, Cannonball and Knife
rivers and drive game south and burn the
prariries behind them to prevent the game
from going back before being killed The
ranchmen propose to take the matter be-
fore the proper authorities to prevent rep
etltion of their already deplorable losses

The Governor Calls an Extra Session of That
Body and Delivers His Message.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct, 4.-The Ohio legis-
lature commenced the extra session at 1C
a. M, and after the reading of the call a
joint committee waited on the governor,
who submitted message which was read
in both houses and referred to the ju-
dietary committee Recess 10 2.30 D. m.
was taken.
The message sets forth that the session
was called because ofthe deplorable condi-
ton of the public service at Cincinnati for
the purpose of securing necessary legisla-
tion to give the people an opportunity TO
select members of certain boards at the
November elections. He says it is un-
necessary to enumerate charges of crook
edness which have been made and con-
cernlng which the majority of the members
are informed.
The message says the time has come to
regulate at an adjourned session the new
charter for Cincinnati as already proposed.
The governor says the board started out all
right but soon became an object of suspic-
ION and bad repute, and cited press notices
from Cincinnati papers of opposite politics
as to corruption in the granting of fran
chlses to eastern syndica es, etc. and the
report OF numerous corrupt propositions.
The governor appeals to the legislature for
the restoration of home rule, and expresses
the opinion that members of boards should
not be fearful of going before the people for
election. The message cites the statement
OF prominent citizen that Cincinnati has
the lowest grade of political merits of any
city in the country.

There was full attendance of members,
every road being represented either by the

situation which lasted nearly two hours,
then adjourned to meet again when the

toward recognizing of the association,
or attempting to straighten out complica-
