The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1891-05-30

AFTER a long contest, the Florida sem
atorial contest has resulted in the re-
election of Senator Call. He has had a
majority of the legislature for him all the
time, but by a foolish adherence to that
time-honored democratic two-thirds GUS
tom he has been unable, till now, to win.
EARLY in the contest it was agreed that q
United States senator should not be,
elected in open session until he had been
nominated by atwo-thirds vote in caucus"
It wa purely q democratic contest. as
there is but one republican in the legis-
lature, and he is q st. Augustine hold
over. The most of the Farmers Alliance
members, however, were against Call.
Had the alliance been solid against him,
he could not have won. In this connec-
ton it may be proper to add that north
ern republicans who are ch%erishing the
belief that the Farmers Alliance move
ment in the south will cripple democratic
supremacy are doomed to disappoint-
ment. The southern Farmers Alliance
is far from non-partisan. It is enthusi-
astically democratic.

UNDER the direction of Major j. w.
Powell the United States Geological sur
vey has become one of the most impor-
tant departments of. the government.
There was a tendency on the part of the
last congress to question the ACCESSIBILITY
of large expenditures for geological sur
veys, but it is hoped that the next con-
gress will wisely conclude that it will
not do to cripple the service by niggard-
ly appropriations. To be sure, the ex-
penditures seem large, but it is an ex-
pensive class of work, requiring special
training, and many of those engaged /
it are men who have spent their lives and
some of them their fortunes in acquiring
the necessary knowledge to fit them
selves for the service. The geological
formation of the United States is i'm
mensely interesting and it is hoped that
Director Powell will receive that en-
couragement and support which his de-
partment deserves and that the surveys
will be extended and increased.

Wants to use North Dakota Coal.

c. f. Hyde in Dickey County Leader:
We have been trying a carload of North
Dakota Ignite in the mill the past week,
and it works first rate. We cannot afford
to use any more of it, however. if we nave
to pay the Milwaukee railroad company as
much on future shipments from Edgeley
as this car cost us. 1 suppose the scheme
is to keep out native fuel and compel us to
use Illinois coal, and that's just what we
will have to do unless cheaper freight
rates can be obtained, as this lot cost us
S cents more per ton than Illinois coal, and
of course no one will pretend that it is as
good. l believe it would be a'splendid fuel
for house use, as there is no smoke or SCOT,
and it can also be used nicely in the engine
after the fireman nee becomes used to it.
The car contained about seventeen tons Of
the Ignite, and the charge from Edgeley
to acknowledgements miles-was $2414.
You can easily see a great injustice
here and the attention of the railroad COM
missiOners should be called to it.

Train Robbers Captured.

OKLAHOMA CRY, o. T., May 23.-The
Dalton brothers gang, who robbed
the Santa Fe passenger train at Wharton
station, after being chased for two weeks,
we're captured last Friday evening in
the Sac and Fox reservation, sixty miles
east of here, after a hard fight, by the
United States deputy marshal, aided by
a detachment of the Fifth cavalry. The
marshals located the r. bbers Thursday in
a save and attempted their capture, but
aftec the Daltons had killed their blood
hounds and exchanged a few rounds,
they sent for the soldiers and effected
the capture. One of the Daltons was
killed and one soldier was wounded.
The rest of the gang was captured.

Twill Serve Him Right.

PEORIA, ILL.,, May 25.-This morning
as Anna Gerber, a school teacher of Hill
ton, was going to her school she was met
in a lonely wood by George Dirch of this
city, who dragged her into the woods.
The girl gave him her watch and money
if he would allow her to go, and he
promised to do SO. He ran around in
The woods and intercepted her again.
In the struggle which followed her
clothes we're torn off and she was terrib-
ly beaten. Dirch was frightened away.
The girl dragged herself to the nearest
house, where she now lies delirious and
not expected to survive the night.
Armed men are searching the woods for
Dirch and if caught will be lynched.

NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY.!
This is the Shout of the Jury in the Case
of a New York Girl.

of q New YOEk Girl.
New YORK, May q. The jury in the
case of Pasquelena Robertello, the
Italian girl who shot her lover to death
because he outraged her person and
then refused to keep his promise of mar.
riage, to-day brought in a verdict of not
guilty. One Of the most affecting and
exciting scenes ever witnessed in a New
York court room occurred on the an
nouncement of the verdict. When the
clerk asked the usual question of the
foreman and he almost shouted mot
guilty." and without waiting for the poll
Of their names, the jury shouted in
unison mot guilty, not guilty" The
scenea which followed beggared de.
scription. The men jumped on the seats
waving hats and handkerchief and
yelled and cheered; nor was there much
effort made to restrain them.

Captain Ewers Says the Cattle Men, and
Not the Indians. Are to BE Feared.
CHICAGO, May 25.-Captain E. P. Ew-
ers, Indian agent at Tongue river, ar
rived in the city to-day, and had an in
tervie- with General Miles over the sit
uation among the Indians that took part
in the late Indian war. Captain Ewers
has just completed a tour of the Indian
camps within a radius of 200 miles of
Ton que River agency. He said the peo-
pie now to be feared were not Indians,
but cattiemen, who want all the land
they can grab for their cattle to roam
over, and will not allow anyone else to
establish themselves. Cattlemen, the
captain said, we're people who stirred up
the Indians by stealing their lands and
taking advantage of them in every way,
and the Indians were complaining Bit
terly Of the encroachments of these
marauders.

A Big Opium Deal.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.--It was stated
that a cargo Of 100000 pounds of opium
had been brought from China on the
yacht Halcyon and struggled into this
country. The opium wal transferred
from the yacht to a small steamer, which
in turn loaded the drug on q lumber
schooner in Puget sound. With a duty
on opium of $12 per pound, the opium
ring made a profit of $1,2O0,000 by the
transaction. The Halcyon now lies in
Barclay sound, B. G., while her owner,
w. H. Whaley, is in this city.

ty of %vigilantes, who had just captured a
cattle thief named McAlvery, near here,
were bringing the prisoner to town, last
night, they met another posse of vigi-
lantes. The night vas very dark and
each party mistook the other for thieves.
Fire was opened on both sides and be-
fore tie mistake was discovered, Judge
Aikens, treasurer of the county, and Nc
Alvery, the cattle thief who was in his
care, we're killed. No arrests have been
made.

End of the Illinois Miners Strike.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The miners strike
in Illinois is practically at an end. The
men at Spring Valley, Streator, Braid
wood and Wilmington resumed work
yesterday. One or two of the smaller
places are still in a state of agitation, but
it is expected the example of those at the
other cities will have it's effect, as not
one of the large companies is now idle.
The same agreement which prevailed last
year holds good this season, until next
May. The men gained nothing by the
strike, for they have signed contracts
which in no way differ from those that
bound them last year.

STATE NEWS.

THE interior department has notified
the members OF the North Dakota dele
CATION in congress that it was necessary
that an appointment should be made OF
q receiver of the Minot land Office in
place Of D. w. Hammond, who refuses
to serve. The land department wants to
open up the office, but cannot do 80 I'M
til the receiver is appointed and quail
fed. Orders have been received at the
Bismarck office to be prepared to turn
over the records of the new district, but
until some one takes the Office they are
unable to comply. 1t is believed this is
the first time on record when a North
Dakota land Office went begging. Is the
golden day coming when to get Office is
not the sole ambition Of man?
