Carmichael Gets Four Year.
From Sundays Daily.l

d.
Yesterday morning at Z O'clock the jury
in the case OF North Dakota vs.. VIM. Car
michael, came into court at Williamsport,
with a verdict of gully of manslaughter in
the second degree. At 10 o'clock Judge
Winchester sentenced the prisoner to the
penitentiary for four years-the full en-
tent of the law. There being no other
business before the court, it adjourned,
and the judge n attorneys returned to
their homes.
On Friday morning at 9 o'clock Judge
Francis addressed the jury for the defence.
He summed up the case with ability, and
talked for exactly two hours. He was fol-
lowed by Attorney General Spencer, who
closed the case for the state. The attorney
general, it is needless to say, exposed
every chink in the armor of the defense.
After his remarks, court adjourned for
court, Judge Winchester charged the jury.
The jury then retired. After they had
been out an hour or twO,they returned into
court for further instructions, and then ad-
jOurned to their room, where they wrestled
with the evidence till the small hours of the
morning. Their verdict is generally salts
factory. The extenuating circumstances
in the case were the youth of the defend
ant, and the animosity that had been
ShOWnstO him by the man he killed, imme-
diately prior to the killing.
States Attorney Armstrong had the case
OF his life to work up. The proof of the
killing was clear and undisputed.s Thers

Fort Rice Cemetery.

The order for the removal of the bodies
OF the volunteer soldiers of the Thirtieth
Wisconsin and other regiments who were
killed by Indians IN 1866, from the post
cemetery at Fort Rice to the Custer battle
field cemetery in Montana, occasions much
regret in Grand Army circles in this state.
The Fort Rice cemetery was abandoned
in 1875 and the graves of the old veterans
left to neglect and ruin. For several years
past Mrs. Linda w. Slaughter has been
seeking to have the grounds preserved as a
national cemetery and the graves cared for
by the government, with the result that it
was decided by the military authorities 10
remove the bodies to the Custer cemetery
in Montana, but time was granted her to
secure action and a hearing from the G. A.
r. in the matter. In January last Mrs.
Slaughter referred all the papers in the
case to James B. Mcpherson post of Bis
marck, and at the state G. A. r. encamp-
ment at Lisbon favorable action was taken
IN the matter, and the papers have been
forwarded to national G. A. r. h%eadquar-
tiers, for their action at the national
encampment in August next at Detroit,
Mich. In the meantime the order for the
disinterment and removal Of the bodies
has been given and the contract let. Every
effort is now being made by the G. A. II.
posts and officials to secure suspension of
the order until after the annual! national
encampment, and Mrs. Slaughter has wilt
ten to the National Relief Corps of Wash
ington city TO send a delegation of ladies
to call upon the secretary of war in the
matter.
Aside from patriotic motives, the advan-
portion OF the state, under control of the
G.. A. r., is readily apparent, and it is
hoped the citizens OF Bismarck will take
some action in the matter without delay.

The Meaning of "Jag"

The New York Recorder has undertaken
to explain the meaning of the word Jag
and after %exhausting Webster and other we'll
known authorities comes to the conclusion
that they are all wrong in giving it the
definition of a "small load" Reason cries
out that they are widely astray, since it is
we'll known to everybody who has ever OBJ
served a man with a jag that he has a very
large load on board.
The pressure of this load produces most
singular and interesting psychological eff
fects upon the man who carries it. When
he first assumes the burden he is as bold as
a lion and fears nothing. He will boot at
a policeman a mile high, dodge about
with mastery ability among swiftly NOV
ing trucks which strike terror to the heart
Of the jagless man.. and he will leap over
gates that would be his despair when he
bore no handicap. None so great as he,
yet none so light and airy! All the world
is his friend and he is a friend to all the
world. He clasps the stranger to his heart
as IT the two were long separated brothers.
Such are the earliest psychological effects
produced by the pressure OF the jag.
Then comes what the great Pantarch
used to call "the terminal conversion into
opposites." AS the man with the jag on
carries dis burden to the place where its
influence is finally to sease, all things
change. Instead OF being his friend every
man becomes his enemy. and of all he
grows suspicious. No longer can he jump
over a four-foot-gate, but, singular to OBJ
serve, he connot step over a doorsill with
out the greatest:trepidation. After he gets
over the doorsill and into his wife's
presene the scene that takes place is not
given out for publication. The jag then
turns to a secret society with the goat
turned loose.

An Unprincipled Correspondent.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Being interested in
building up the stock interests of North
Dakota, as we thought almost every citizen
was, we were greatly chagrined at reading
the following sensational dispatch in a
Chicago paper of the 4th inst:
HEAVY LOSSES FOR SHEEP RA1sERs.
Special to the Chicago Daily News.
BISMARCK, N. D., Juue S.-The severe storm
which has Just ceased, after a duration of three
days, caused heavy losses to sheep owners. Fifty
thousand sheep have been brought into the state
witoln the last month by farmers and stock CON-
panies. and in very few instances were the own
ers prepared to house them during the lambiDg
period. The losses are knocking the profits out
of the whole industry.
The dispatch above is utterly devoid of
truth, and the knave, or fool who sent it
could easily have found out by calling upon
anyone interested in the sheep industry.
Of the $4,000 head brought into this and
Morton counties this season, Sc far as we
can learn-and we have talked with Mr..
Lanterman Of Mandan, who brought in
about One-half the number-the losses dur
ing the late cold, wet weather has been less
than one-half of l per cent or one
sheep or lamb in every 200 head. This
with stockmen is regarded as a very light
loss. The losses sustained by the North
western Live Stock company were princl-
| pally sheep that were hurtin the cars bring
ing them from Oregon. and a few lambs
that had lost their mothers. They had not
been long enough on the feed to give them
| strength to stand the weather. Our band
are grazing about two miles northeast of
the city and doing as we'll as sheep posi-
bly, could, and we can see improvement in
them every day. The writer, with others,
knowing that we have one of the best
states in the union for sheep husbandry,
has been trying to interest stockmen east
to put sheep in and thus increase our
wealth. and to be confronted with state
ments like the above from INSCRIPTIONS
special correspondents, who, for the small
consideration received, would send such
statements broadcast, is, to say the least
discouraging and deserving to be frowned
upon. Z. II. WILSON.

ton. Profting by that seasons expert

The machine itself weighs four pounds
and is easily handled by one man. The
motive power is compressed air, under a
pressure Of forty pounds to the square

can be handled in a day and that in a flock
of average size the saving in wool of one
clip will pay the expense of it. A public
exhibition of the new invention will be
given in Bismarck in a few days.

jamestown Alert: THERE'S no state in
the union so tender and careful of its few
unfortunate deaf and dumb pupils as
North Dakota. The last legislature. in a
spirit of liberality that would do for an old
and wealthy state, appropriated $l6.5 500,
for board and education of fifteen deaf
mutes, for two years and $4,000 for a
building. Public charity comes high, but
we must have it, even if the taxpayers 60
