What Was the Opinion?

The railroad commissioners held a
meeting in this city Tuesday. Chair
man Walsh was not present. This is
probably the most important meeting
yet held.
Tie question of grading the wheat
crop and finding a market therefor was
discussed. It is known that several
points in the elevator law we're submit
ted to the attorney general for his opin-
ion. The TRIBUNE believes the opinion
wal given the board Tuesday, but Sc
crecy prevailed and nothing definite
could be learned. Commissioner Slotten
wac seen by a TRIBUNE reporter, but de-
clined to give out any information re-
garding the opinion. When asked if
they would continue to enforce the law
they gave the understanding that that
was their duty and they would fulfill it.
They admit that the entire board and at
torney general had agreed not to make
public at this time any of the proceed
ings of the meeting. They would not
deny, however, that they would enforce
the law, which gives credence to the
theory that the opinion was favorable.
"We have been misquoted and lied about
so much by the Minneapolis papers that
you can place no dependence on what Is
published" said Commissioner Slotten.
"We believe it to our interests at the
present time to remain silent and do
business" The board will meet in Far
60 to-day to further consider the per-
picking question.

Charged with Assault,

About 10 o'clock Monday night, Gott-
lelb Huber appeared before Judge Chase
or rather induced the Judge to go to
his ofice-and make out a warrant
against one Thomas Bruce, who is work
ing for P. F. Wilcox, charging him with
an assault upon his (Huber's) wife with
intent to do bodily harm. The case came
up in court about II o'clock Tuesday
morning. Judge Francis appeared for
the defendant and waived examination.
Judge Chase bound the defendant over
to await the November term of the dis
trict court, fixing his bond at $500. The
case is summed up by Mr.. Wilcox, for
whom the defendant has worked faith
fully for the past year. He said to a
TRIBUNE reporter: ut is a case of black
mail. The facts are as follows: Mr.. HUI.
Der has 9 large garden near my place,
and Monday night, when the cattle were

brought from the herd, one of my COWS,
together with another one from the herd,
went into Huber's garden. My wife told
MI. Bruce to 60 and get them out. Well,
he got the other n out all right, but
my Gov was not easily persuaded to
leave the garden. Mr. Bruce finally got
her cornered and was coming over to my
house to get a rope with which to lead
the COW out Of the garden and not de-
stroy any more than could be helped.
Mrs. Huber came out where the COW was
and was very angry. She kept getting
nor and more angry until finally she
struck Mr.. Bruce and attempted to get
revenge by pulling hair and striking Mr..
Bruce. He tried to reason with her and
finally took hold of her wrists and set
her down. That was all the assault he
committed. He then took the COW out
of the garden. Huber thought he saw a
good chance to scare Bruce into paying
him some money, and that led to the ar
rest. Mrs. Huber is q nervous woman
and the excitement may have brought on
some disease. but it is her own fault. MI.
Bruce has been a faithful hand for me
and [ am not going to see him suffer for
obeying orders" Judge Chase stated
that the attending physician had told
him Mrs. Huber's condition was critical.
There were all sorts of rumors
ahoat. Some say Mr.. Huber is not
kind to his wife and has been
known to beat her. This theory was the
one most often mentioned. The bond
was signed by Mr.. Wilcox and E. L..
Whitford,

Indications point to a hard winter and
farmers should make preparation for it
as il will probably be severe on stock.

An Admirer of Headers.

GLAsCooK, N. D., Aug. 20, 1891.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: I send you a few
figures which you can publish if you see
fit. They are not intended for boom
purposes, as I am no Dakota boomer,
nor never have been. I simply want to
let strangers know that this is a good
country, which opinion I have held since
], saw the crops it produced in 1882. At
that time Mr.. Cushman was superin-
tendent of the Hayes farm, north of
Bismarck. At the time I visited the
farm, he was there in person and took
great pains to show me over the premi-
ses. He had at that time three self
binders working in as fine grain as I
ever SOW. And by-the-way, some of
them are still doing the same thing. At
that time Cushman said he had 250
acres Of grain dead ripe, and it all stood
up perfectly straight-none of it straw
fallen, as it does in the east after two
days of ripening. I said to the Illinois
people it was the best country to run
headers in-except California-on the
American continent. And now for the
proof Of my assertion. In SIGHT of my
residence there are now running fifteen
headers, and for the benefit of the incre-
dulous I will give you the names of the
parties owning them: Walter Brisco,
Henry labelling, George Mofett, W. M.
Brittin, M. r.. Burtin, D. w. Ritten-
house, Rufus Anderson, Judge Dwight,
Waldruf Brothers, Kesshaw, W. K.
MARVEL, Wilton Brothers, John Ander-
son, Baily Brothers O., and your humble
servant. The machines are all Hodges
headers. They we're manufactured for
many years at Pekin, Illinois, but at
present, I think, at Grinnell, Iowa. They
are sold by Hare & Holt, Bismarck. N.
d., and I think them far the best header
made. y cd.
As further proof of my faith in head
ers I will give you a few figures. judy
ing from a long experience with the use
of a header before coming to Dakota, I
should say that the fifteen machines
owned by the parties I have named, cut
OF an average 300 acres per day, as they
are twelve and fourteen foot headers.
Estimating the yield at twenty bushels
per acre, this would make 5000 bushels
per day cut and stacked. Estimating
the time these headers will have to run
at least two weeks, it will make a grand
total of $4,000 bushels Of grain, and will
require one hundred days steady work,
ct 700 bushels per day, to thresh the
same. These are very conservative fig

ures, and this does not include the oat
crop. AS many here think the oat crop
cannot be saved with a header, they will
cut and bind their oats-which is their
privilege. This will help to keep the
alliance Irvine men from starving to
death.
A word in regard to holding this enor-
mous crop, as some term it-which I
estimate at twenty bushels per acre. The
financial condition of the great MAORI
ty of the farmers is such that they will
have to sell-so they do not need the ad-
vice Of the press. But with a shortage
of 3~O0,0O0,OOO bushels in foreign coun-
tries, and the old wheat all out Of the
American granaries, it does seem to me
that if a person could hold his crop till
next June, prudence would so dictate.
But railroads and elevator men and
chattel mortgages will dictate the
time and price of the marketing of this
crop.
AS I have always said since I first saw
this country that it would be a good
country in time-it is still my opinion.
Others may differ with me and move
away, which is their privilege to do, but
I expect to live here the short time T
have to stay in this woodland have Sc
lected a place on the southwest quarter
of section 26 in township 138. ranoe IT,
where I expect my friends to lay my
body, where there is no mortgage. I
think this is just as zeal heaven as a
cemetery back in the east-that has
fine vaults and fine marble shafts
erected-that the purchase price was
through the robbery of some poor per-
son, that was kept back by fraud. See
the 5th chapter of st. James. Read it
carefully, you rich man.

The Evidence Showed that Aaron

in Swenson's.

Mason
Sampled the Liquor and Pronounced
it Poor Whiskey-the Case
Continued,
Swenson's Examination,

The preliminary examination of S. J.
Swenson, charged with violating the
prohibitory law, was held before Justice
Chase yesterday.
The first witness examined was Aaron
N. Mason, who testified that he got q
bottle Of whiskey of the defendant on
August 25th. BE went into Swensou's
building by the back way and saw three
men in the place, who we're drinking
whiskey, according to his observations.
A. D. Gray was next called and stated
that he was the attorney for the Bur
leigh county enforcement league, vice
president and member of the state en-
forcement league, and a private citizen.
He was close to the back door when Ma.
son went in and got the whiskey. When
Mason came out of the saloon he went
to the office of Judge Gray,
where the two mentioned, together with
Geo. L.. Gilbert and Rev. Ryan, sampled
the liquor to see if it was whiskey and
also of what quality. That is, the wit.
nesses sworn testified they did and that
the quality was very poor.
The next witness called was M. P.
Skeel, who simply testified that the de-
PENDANT paid rent on the building IN
which the liquor was found.
Sheriff Donlelly was the last witness
for the state and his evidence war very
damaging for the defendant. He said
he closed the building under an injunc-
ton and found large quantities of liquor
thereon. He also testified that an effort
was made to take from him and break
a bottle containing whiskey. At the
examination of this witness the state
rested and court adjourned to 10 o'clock
this morning.
John Stoyell appeared for the defend
ant and States Attorney Register for
the state.
