HALF-BREEDs HADAoRUDoE.
A Hardware Man Numerically Bea-
ten in Fort Pierre.

PIERRE, s. D., Special Telegram,
Boomers continued to cross the river all
night last night, and the scene at Fort Pierre
has been very exciting. Building was done
by the light of the lantern, and large
number of fights took place. About mid
night fight took place between a number
of halfbreed DULLES and fellow called
Jesse James, who took over load of hard
ware and started a store in tent The
halfbreeds have grudge against him, and
assaulted him. He was numerically
beaten about the head and face
with the butt end of a six-shooter
His nose was smashed and he was danger

one was shot. About twenty-five houses
were up by this morning. The citizens have
formed vigilance committee, and claim
jumpers will be seriously dealt with.

Sad Experience or an Alabama Man
Among Mormons.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Special. George Pres
ton of Clay county, Ala, has returned home
from Utah, where he went ten months ago
as a convert to Mormonisn. He tells
thrilling story of the treatment of converts
by the Mormons when. they reach Utah.
He says the women converts are married to
elders who in most cases have three or four
wives already, and if they offer the slightest
protest or resistance they are logged or
otherwise punished until they submit. The
men who have been promised homes and
farms are compelled to give up all tlaes
money they have to the church, and then
they are turned adriit to live as best they
can Preston and his young wife were con-
verted to Mormonism about year ago by
two elders who were proselyting in Clay
county. They sold all they had and went.
to Utah. Preston says his wife was stolen
from him aud carried to Salt Lake City, he
thinks, but he was never able to lind any
trace of her. He was then by threats COM

Rumored stickney-Hiu Combine,

MASON CRY, Iowa, Special Telegram,
1t is rumored here that the Stickney
and Hill railroad interests in this territory
are to combine. The Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City line is to push through from
Manly over ten miles leased from the Gem
trail and connect here with the Mason City
& Fort Dodge giving it an excellent south
and southwest opening. What effect this
deal would have on the Winona a South
western, an extension of the Laclxawanna
system, is not known, but it is thought they
also will push through to this city.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
A.Land Decision Reversed in Favor

A,Land Decision Reversed in Favor
of a Railway Company.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
Secretary Noble has reversed the decis-
ion of Commissioner Stockslager in the
case of Frank P. OIney against the Hastings
g. Dakota, the case involving title to
quarter of section Is, township 100, range
43 of the Benson, Mimi, land district. The
land was entered for settlement by man
named Olney, before the land had been sur
veyed, but not until after the company had
filed its,map of definite location. Secretary
Noble rules that lands which were within
the limits of the grant and had not been
withdrawn from the public domain at the
time of filing such map, could not be ex-
cepted from the grant, and so the company
gets the lands. Although there are few
acres in Minnesota that come under this
ruling, it is considered an important one.
Commissioner Stockslager held that such
lands came under an act of 1876 and re-
verified to the settler. Secretary Noble says
in so many words that the act of 1875 has
nothing to do with the case.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Special.-The munich
pal elections in this city passed off quietly
contrary to the general expectation. Six
arrests were made for attempting to vote
illegally, and these were made without any
demonstration from either side. The Nor
mons have nothing to say on the result ex-
cept that the election was carried by fraud
and that they will surely contest it.
They admit their defeat, but claim that
the majority will not exceed 400.
Official returns give George A. Scott, mayor,
a majority of 800; Louis III. Vans, recorder,
$50; J. B. Walden, treasurer, sos; e. r.
Clute, assessor, 466; j. M. Young, marshal,
773 All are Geatiles. The remainder OF
the Gentle ticket, including fifteen council
men, are elected by majorities ranging from
300 to 400. This gives them control of the
municipal council for the first time in the
history of the city. Mormon papers charge
fraud of every description.

IMPORTANT MEETING

burg, Yesterday.
At the meeting of the nail and wire man
ufacturers held in Pittsburg yesterday, all
the Wheeling mills were represented either
personally or by proxy, Mr. j. n. Vance,
of the Riverside; Mr. c. X. Hubbard of
the Top mill; Mr.. J. ID. Dubois, of the Bel
mont: MIR. James Wilson, of the Bellaire,
and Mr. Spaulding X. Wallace, of the
Jefferson at Steubenville, being present.
Mr. Thomas Jopling, !of the American
Wire Company, of Cleveland, presided over
the meeting and Mr.. Wallace acted as
secretary. The object of the meeting, as
stated yesterday, was TO adopt form for Il
contract. which is to be filled out by buyer
and seller when an order is given for lot
of nails. IL has been the almost universal
custom of buyers, who have contracts
placed for future delivery, of insisting on
the last pound in the event OF an advance,
and refusing TO specify or else insisting on
a reduction in case of a decline.
The time of the meeting was occupied IN
drawing up q suitable form OF contract,
ana the SECRETARY was instructed TO have il
printed and send a copy to each manufac-
turer of nails and wire who is known TO be
/ in favor of an association for mutual bene-
| fit for his approval or suggestion, and as
soon as answers are received from all oil

purpose of organizing the Association. This
will probably be in about two weeks
Letters were read at Yesterdays meet

could not attend in person, announcing that
they were strongly in favor of enforcing
such contract, and joining the Associa-
| ton. The Association will have nothing
whatever to do with prices
