COLORADO DESERT.
New Theories and Prediction
 fer the Future Made.

A scientist who ua8 made study ol the Colorado deseTt from n geo graphical standpoint furnishes the Scientific Press with his views in ar elaborate article. His theory Is tLa the Gulf ol California extended clear up to the base of the San Jacintc mountains.
 "It can be very readily understood, ' he says, "that the sea must have OCcu- pied this basin withir, geologicallv. very recent times. The cause of the separation of .his ancient arm from the gulf is very apparent, and the same agency in the sediment from the Colorado river is constantly increasing the barrier between them Doubtless this separation took place within the history ol man, for the Indians still preserve the memory of catching fish along the base of the San JaciBto mountains, in an ancient sea, and wi ] point out to the stranger the traps or artificial walled-up pools where they caught the fish when the tide receded." 1"
 Of the value and possibilities of this vast expanse of desert country he says:
 California, formerly famous for her wealth of gold, and now equally and justly famed for her excellent fruits, has no more important possession than this neglected southeastern cor ner, which some day will greatly en- nance the fame of our beautiful State, Future generations may see it become one of the most densely populated and wealthiest sections in the State. Here the date, the banana, the mango, and all the luscious fruits of Asia, Aus. trslia and tropical America will flour ish as nowhere else within the present limits of the United States"

sown and planted; also the total stock of
the county, and each kind: also the amount
of cheese and butter made in 1889, and the
amount received for poultry; also beef and
pork. The report is made for each of three
commissioner districts separately. 1t in
cludes all returns from the organized
towns as reported by three assessors
Peter Wilcox of the First, Murdoch Nc
Kenzie for the Second and S. A. Peterson
for the Third. AS it has required much
labor and time to gather and compile this
preserve this issue. By it the total crop
report after the average is ascertained
from the thresher and other reliable
sources can be very easily and accurately
figured. Taken as a whole, Burleigh
county is a big farm, and has q well as
sorted crop, promising at this writing u
very heavy yield. The stock exhibit is
ent kinds show the drift to be for ageneral
assortment, and u special reports show
that the grade of stock is tending upward.
The TRIBUNE is informed that many are
backward and reluctant to give in their
stock and many other articles for the sta
tistical reports. This should not be-every
n should take an interest in the general
county exhibit of its acreage, stock and
general products. Nothing will speak SO

cultural exhibit. In the future more at

Poundmaster McCue: Yes, l ran in

penetrating the mysteries of the numerous
ancient Indian mounds of North Dakota.
His labors up in the Mclean county re-
gion have been rewarded by a valuable
collection of aboriginie antiquities. He
has had some lively times with Indians
who resisted his efforts to resurrect the
relics of their forefathers. Mr.. Lewis will
possibly narrate his adventures in a
lengthy magazine article, in which the
ancient Mandans, an interesting tribe of
Indians. will be graphically described.
J. E. Britton: Came down from Wash

Claims to Have Been Crazy,

The tramp who held up the switch en-
CINE Tuesday claimed to DR.. Frazer We'd
nesday that he was an employee of the
steamer Rosebud, and the officers of the
boat make the same statement. He said
that in company with two other boat hands
he came to the city Tuesday afternoon
and drank some. He got separated from
his partners and started for the boat. The
last thing he can remember was passing
Capt. Belk's house, until he %regained his
sense at the hospital. He says: 81 don't
know where l got the gun or the car
tridges, nor that / was on any tram. or
had any trouble with any one." DR.. Fra
yer says he must have been crazed by
drink, as the officers of the Rosebud say he
was a good a The most feasible the
DRY is that las vas stated in yesterdays
TRIBUNE) he belonged to the gang who
have been up the river, and since his ar
rival in Bismarck and up to the time of
engaging his service to the Rosebud, which
was the 9th of the present month, he has
been camping near the river, and there is
probably where he got the gun. The doc
tor says he will live a week or so anyhow,
and if Inflammation can be avoided he will
recover He told Policeman Marsh his
urname was Herbert.

Boycotting the Liverymen.

and influential lawyers, wishing to take a
trip to some country town which would
require an absence of about five days.
made the rounds of the livery stables and
not being successful in securing a rig for
about one-half of what it would be worth,
swore by all the eternal gods he would 90
to the country and hire a team of mules.
"Of course l can't go quite as quick, but it
will be cheaper" All went lovely until the
return when the mules ran away, broke
the buggy and injured the boycotter sufi-
cient to place the total amount of cost
rig, damage and conveyance to carry the
shrewd attorney home-at $50. He could
have had a good trusty team with a fine
carriage for perhaps SIS. But then he had
the satisfaction of not having to patron.

If the tramp had succeeded in getting on
the engine and a row had taken place, q
horrible disaster wouli undoubtedly have
occurred.
DR.. Frazer examined the wound and
took a piece of skull about two inches long
says his condition is not very hopeful.
Those interested in the affair were taken
before Judge Francis, assistant counsel for
the Northern Pacific road, and their evil
dence taken for further developments.

Switch Engine Held Up.

AS the switch engine with one car at
tached was backing down to the boat land
ing about 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, a
man under the influence of liquor was dis
covered a short distance ahead Of the train
on the track. The engineer blew the
whistle and all brakes were set, but none
too soon as the train stopped within two
feet of the tramp, who climbed on the foot
board of the engine back of the tender.
Charles Cunningham, the brakeman, told
him he could not allow him to ride there,
as it was against the rules of the company
and besides he would fall off and get hurt.
After some difficulty he succeeded in max
ing him get off, but as the train passed by
him he made several threats. The train
proceeded IN down to the dock. On re-
turning they stopped at the brewery and
Mr.. Cunningham and a TRIBUNE reporter
went over to the brewery and talked with
the man in charge. On returning to the
engine the tramp was observed coming up
the track with a gun, which Cunning
ham said he thought was a rifle.
The tramp, when within about
ixty rods from them, put a cartridges
in the gun and began to swear and threat
en- to shoot, aiming the u toward Gun.
bingham and the reporter, who ran to the
engine and told the engineer he had better
not try to pass him as he was a desperate
looking character. Accordingly he pulled
back down to the landing, the tramp fol-
lowing. The men at the landing told the
boys who were on the engine they had bet.
ter 20 in the office until they had taken
the gun from the tramp who
came up to the engine, but when within
about twenty rods of the dock put another
cartridge In the gun. After examining
the engine and seeing no one there he
walked up to Jerry Plants who was I'M
loading the car, and pointed the gun at
him, said, "yOu 5-of a b., l will fix
you" MI. Plants snatched the gun and
struck him on the head. When the engine
boys saw him again he lay unconscious o.
the platform, his head and face covered
with blood. They put him in a car and
brought him to the city where officers took
him to the hospital. It is reported that he
belongs to a gang Of men who have been up
the Missouri hunting curiOsities in the
mountains, and when their boat reached
this place about a month ago, he stopped
off, the boat and the rest of the gang going
on down the river. Since that time he has
been camping near the river. The gun
was a 49 calibre repeating Winchester and
contained two cartridges. When the
train left the depot for the river one Of the
men employed at the steam shovel near
the bridge got or the engine with about
ten pounds of dynamite, to be used for
blasting purposes. The trainmen tried to
pursuade him not to ride on the engine,
but he insisted and none of them cared to
