ALMOST A PANIC.
Settlers Leave Their Possessions In
Their Haste to Find Safety.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, November 23.-An
Aberdeen, S. d., special to the Tribune
says: "Reports received here indicate that
the Indian scare Is becoming quite general
all along the east side of the Missouri river
north Of st. Pierre TO Mandan. The settlers
are becoming very much alarmed and are
fleeing eastward, leaving Most of their pos
sessions behind. They are coming into the
larger towns in large numbers. At Gettys-
burg there seems to be the most excitement.
Governor Mellette has gone there with
large supply of arms and ammunition, hop
ing to quiet the alarm. kilograms received
by him yesterday afternoon from Campbell,
Walworth, Potter, Hide and Hand counties,
and from several points in the Black Hills
say great alarm is felt, and ask for assist
ance. Other dispatches from the command
eTs of Forts Yates ana Sullv say everything
is quiet. Citizens at Fort Sully laugh at the
reports RumOrs Of bodies of Indians east
of the river add greatly to the alarm. Agent
McLaughliD, at Fort Yates, says no Indians
are absent from the agency. 1t is evident
that nearly all the alarm is needless and will
be Quieted In short time.

The past week has been occupied by de-
liberations on the part of the Executive
Board, the Faculty and the students in re-
gard to change of government. The result
is the adoption of by the students and rati-
fication by the Faculty and Executive Board
of an agreement between the Faculty and
students providing for the institution of a
council of ten students to have powers SINH
lar to those of the juries and senate in other
colleges; there are, however, many limita-
tiOne to the extent of the jurisdiction, and
the system must not be understood to be the
jury system of government, for the Faculty
retain the power of disciOline and of exeeut-
ing sentences, but there is an appeal to the
body of undergraduates, giving the Faculty
the benefit of tie opinion of all the students
before they pass final judgment contrary to
t1e decision of the council.
Subsequent amendments and improve
ments are hoped for and il is thought that
the way is open for the essential Inaugural
tlOn Of complete student judiciary.

worse condition of affairs than was at first

Bank Commissioner Chaplin issued state

which shows its guarantee fund to be only
$500, while its loans, real estate and person
al security aggregate S21i,00 many of these
investments being very poor. The injunc-
tion on the bank has been modified so the
bank can realize on poor investments and
get rid of them. The depreciation will be
considerable and depOsitOrs must suffer the
loss. An inventory is being taken of the
stock in the Glendon Wooden Mills, upon
which the bank held mortgage to secure
$1,000 note. The inventory will fall very
much below this figure, and matters look
blue at the mill, where over 100 operatives,
to whom seven weeks wages are owing are
out of work. Some of the operatives have
placed an attachment ON the mill to secure
their wages. Dunham is said to have raised
about $4,000. but no one can explain what
