Warning F~renchmen.

Those who happened to be lounging
streets yesterday afternoon, witnessed a
rather funny spectacle-funny for the
spectators, but a serious matter for the
principals, for they went at it in dead earn
est. Isadore Bureau and Frank Berthral,
two lively representatives of la belle
thral is keeping a young sick Frenchman
named Paul at his house who is said to have
a snug little sum of money saved from his
earnings. The young man is ill unto death,
Isadore Bureau did not think mat
tiers were going on all right so
he attempted to have the sick man re-
moved to his wi residence. DR.. Porter
would not allow his patient removed, but
Bureau got wrathy and started down town
to go to Law about it. He met Berthral in
front of Marshall's store talking to Sheriff
Donnelly, Mike Francis, and others, where
he accused him of keeping Paul at his
house so that he would get the money
when the latter died. Berthral brlstled up
like a turkey gobbler and called Bureau a
liar. He no one got the words out of
his mouth than Bureau promptly planted
a singing blow under his left eye. Ber-
thral offered no resistance, but hurried to
Justice Tibbils' office to swear out a war
assault and battery. "Tam him! tam himm
he shouted, "me no care if he stay forty
years in jail now. I put him tro'. Glad he
hit me. Will get even now" Bureau ran
to Justice Fort, pied guilty of the assault,
and offered to pay his fine, but was in
formed that the case would have to 20 be-
fore Tibbils. Berthral rustled around for
an hnrr n - pon~n h1,nfirr Upsfr Tharn
were fully a dozen, but none seemed
ready to acknowledge that they witnessed
the assault. The hearing before Judge
Tibbles will be had Monday.

Fargo Republican: Col. Power has fin
ished the listing of public lands in the
Fargo and Grand Forks districts, and finds
that there are nearly 100000 acres. He is
now waiting for replies to circular letters
which he has addressed to the auditors Of
the various counties composing the two
districts, in regard to the vacant lands in
their respective counties. Accompanying
these letters were printed questions rela-
tive to the character, location, value, ETC.,
of the lands, and corresponding blanks for
answers to the questions. Many Of the
auditors have already returned the ans
wers, and Others are being heard from
every day. AS 0 o as the returns are all
in, Col. Power will begin the work of. max
ing selections for the state institutions, for
whose benefit the lands were donated by
the government.

Agent Murphy FOresees Danger and
Asks the Government for

Restless BerthOld Indians.

The Indians on the Fort Berthold reser-
walton, unable to any longer stand aside
and leave their red brethren throughout
the country have all the fun to themselves,
have at last become affected with the preva-
lentMessiah craze and areindulging in ghost
dances with the same vim that has char
acteTized the demonstrations at the other
Indian agencies. This will be a piece Of
surprising news, as the Berthold Indians
have always been considered the most
quiet and orderly Indians or the American
continent. A private letter received by a
gentleman of Washburn states that grave
fears are entertained regarding the hither-
to peaceful Indians. The Bertholds are
under the tutilege of several wandering
Sioux from Standing Rock who probably
returned with the Bertholds when the lat
ter visited their Standing Rock brethren
about.a month ago. They are beginning
to act very strangely, the letter goes on to
say, and agent Murphy, in order to be on
the safe side in case of an emergency, has

results should occur, he believes these In

would notify all the white people on the
reservation to leave at once, and that the
Indians no not intend to break away from
the reservation, but will attempt to hold it
against intrusion by the whites. They
want the Berthold reservation all to them
selves, with no white men in their midst to
modest them. There is a band of Mandan
Indians under the leadership of the ce]e-
brated chief, Crow-Flies.H High, located on
the Little Missouri, west of the Missouri
river This band has
NEVER YET YIELDED OBEDIENCE
to the government. They hold themselves
aloof from any intercourse and do not
draw subsistence from the government.
More fear is felt from the latter named In
dams than from those on the reservation,
who have 50 long been the friends of the
whites. No trouble further than the ghost
dances is feared from the Berthold In
dians. While the dance is in progress
they imagine they see the ghost of Sitting
Bull descending in a cloud, with arms out
stretched, reckoning them to continue the
dance and they would in due time see
their Messiah.

Col. Lounsberry Explains.

Colonel Lounsberry in Fargo Argus:
What about the Elliott Oswald matter you
ask? Elliott was foreman OF the jury
that convicted Oswald, and two years be.
fore l ever knew him signed a petition for
his pardon. Some months after the par
don, to he exact, January II, 1890, Dow was
at the Benham house, DEVILS Lake. and
was about leaving for the Turtle noun
tains to %foreclose a mortgage on twenty
two head of EIliott's STOCK, given to secure
payment on one span Of mares. Without
the knowledge of Elliott-without consul
tation with any one-from n of those
impulses which have led me all my life TO
help others to my own disadvantage. | told
Dow l would give him $50 to let Elliott
alone until after seeding. He took the
money and did let him alone g. agreed
upon, and until it became evident that
ElliOtt's crop was q failure. when he again
attempted to foreclOse. Elliott then fur
the first time had a conversation with me
about this money, and by advice OF his
Dow before as payment on his note for
which he had not given credit, and secured
a restraining order from Judge Rose which
prevented Dow from taking the stock. It
had nc more relation to the Oswald pardon
than any other Of the occasional Over-gen-
erOus acts of my life The story comes not
from Elliott, as reported in st. Paul papers,
but from The surer who, not content with
robbing the farmer of his stock, attempts
to rob one who tried to prevent the rob-
berry, of his good name.

M. Jansen from observations taken at
the summit Of Mont Blanc concludes that
there is no oxygen us we know it in the
p~hotosphere, and that as oxygen would
tend to combine with hydrogen and cut
off our supply OF heat by absorption, it Is
satisfactory to know that the sun is still
far from that stage in its process Of cooling.

Long Lived Overalls.

The story is told of q man who works on

pair of overalls for twenty-six years. It
was only few days ago that he was obliged
to throw away his old pair and buy a new
pair. Che old ones were originally blue

High School Exercises.

A large number of visitors were present
and enjoyed the exercises given at the
high school building yesterday afternoon.
The occasion being the closing of the
schools for the holiday vacation, the pro.
gramme given in rooms one, three and five
were composed largely OF Christmas selec-
tions and songs. The Roman programme,
given by the members of the junior class
in the high school, was especially interest
ing and instructive. Vivid descriptions of
Roman streets and public buildings were
of the higher, as we'll as the lower, classes
of Roman societies were portrayed. The
various rooms were artistically decorated
with appropriate scenes. The entertain
ment closed a very successful term of Bis

THE WHIsKEY TRUST.
1t Decides to Get ON the Safe Sidt
of the Law.

CHICAGO, January 27.-George @. Glib
son, secretary of the whiskey trust, talk
ing this evening of the reasons why the
trust was about to incorporate, said it
was going to do it because it will aid in
the transaction of business. Trusts, he
said, are beneficial not only to producers
but to consumers. But there has been
such clamor raised in this country about
trusts, without reason, that the Legisla-
lures have been moved to pass
laws inimical to the interests
of producers, and the press makes con-
tinual outcry against them. The trusts
could not defend themselves, because
they could not deny that their organiza-
tions were in one sense illegal; that is
they had no existence under the law, and
were not Incorporated. The whiskey
trust desires to place itself where there is
no danger that it will be called all illegal
organization. 1t is in no way of weaken
ing on the contrary, when incorporated
it will be stronger than ever.

WASHINGTON, January 27.-The Re-

The new code of rules will not be ready
for action for several days. 1t is prac.
sically determined that more positive
progress can be made in contested cleo.
tion cases without rules than with, and
they will be proceeded with. A long dis
cussion took place on the possibility OF
securing and maintaining q quorum
to meet the Democratic opposition,
which is expected to take shape
in refusal to vote. 1t was determined
that four Republicans could not be de.
pended on, three being absent on account
of sickness, and of one the whereabouts
is unknown. If there be no other ab-
sentses, the Republicans will have a
bare quorum. Nevertheless the Smith
Jackson case will be proceeded with in
order to lay the foundation for the speedy
disposition of the other contests, and
gain time to get the absent members
present.
