The Judd CuriOs,

The following from the Fargo Argus
gives the history of the Judd collection
purchase, referred to IN The Alert last
week:
For quite number of years the late
General Pike has been collecting Indian
curios and has secured a large number.
He recently sent circular letter to some
OF his friends in the northwest giving
some Of his plans 10 connection with this
collection and urged them to report to
him any curiosities Of this nature which
could be obtained in their vicinity. One
Of these letters reached E. J. Schwellen-
bach, 800 Of jamestown. and he found a
collection in that city comprising 422
pieces, obtained from sixteen states and
territories, containing arrow heads, spear
beads, rare specimens Of pottery, stone
axes and hammers, Zone of the latter
weighing over hundred pounds) and
obtained the refusal of the same for q
few days. He notified Dakota consistory
and at the meeting of this body held in
this city on March @, it was unanimous.
ly voted to purchase the same and for.
ward it to Washington to General Pike
with the compliments of the Scottish
Rite Masons of North Dakota. The resO
luton authorizing the purchase together
with the inventory we're forwarded tC
Washington by Major Fleming and
reached the general three days before
bis death. The collection has been ship.
ped, and owing to the generals death
will now become the property of the Su.
preme Council. To show the value OF
this collection it is but justice to state
that Colonel Hinton, chief of bureau OF
irrigation of the agricultural department.
when here few days ago, declared tina,
the cnrios embraced in the inventory
were worth at least $4,000. General Pike
has held the northwest in high esteem
owing to the lively interest taken in
everything pertaining to the Rite IN this
vicinity, and has shown many favors to
this section of the country. The breth.
rem felt that the present prepared for the
now deceased was but a slight token OF
the gratitude they felt towards him, and
it is only regretted that the curios did
not reach Washington in time to have
been personally inspected and enjoyed
by the one they we're intended specially
for
