An Indian by the name of Poline was
killed in the north portion of this county

Booker. The Indian was trying to take a
beef from the young man, and as he was in
the act of drawing his gun Booker shot him,
killing him instantly.
Frank Miller and Charlie Scott were ar
rested at Naoofe yesterday evening by Dep
uty Sheriff Ferris and brought to Mangum
late last night, and are now in Jail here.
They are charged with bringing stolen
horses into the state. 1t seems that Miller
passed through this county about six

upon his appearing this time the officer re-
ognized him as the same and arrested him
on suspicion. Further developments are
expected soon.

Development. 1t was the first journal in
the United States to have a woman for
editor, the first to employ u s~tenographer
to report the proceedings of congress, the
first to have special riders to bring in the
latest news, and the first to publish the
Star Spangled Banner and the official
copy of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1853 Mr.. Charles E. Fulton became
the leading spirit in the management, and
made the paper what it was till his death,
in 1888, when his son-in-law, General Felix
Agnus, became sole trustee and publisher.
He had already been the financial manager.
Under his management The American
now celebrates its one hundred and eight
eenth birthday with a magnificent trade
edition, illustrating the progress of Balti-
more and the paper. General Agnus has
had a history which seems all romance in
the early part, and all practical business
sense and success in the latter half, as he
has fought in the wars of his native and
adopted country, and was a brigadier gem
eral at twenty-siX.
He was born July 4, 1889, ut Lyons,
France, but was reared chiefly in Paris.
At the age of thirteen he went on his tray
els, visiting the most noted places south of
the equator and circumnavigating the
globe. In 1859 he volunteered in the French
Zouaves and served in the Italian war. In
1860 he removed to the United States and
took a place in Tiffany's jewelry store in
New York, but on the first signal of war
volunteered in Duryec's Zouaves. He was
soon promoted to IL l~ieutenantcy for con.
spicuous gallantry, and fought his way up,
rank by rank, to the One Hundred and
Sixty-fifth New York. or Second Duryee
Zouaves. He greatly distinguished himself
at Port Hudson and elsewhere in the south.
west. In the campaign of 1864 in Virginia,
he won high honors, and near the close of
the war was breverted as Il brigadier gen
cral. On Dec. 10, 1864, he married Miss
Annie f., daughter of Mr.. Fulton, of the
Baltimore American, and has ever since
been identified with that paper.

heavyweight fight to a finish. The
men were down on the bills as Ike Hayes,
the Dakota Eclipse, and Nelson Lewis,
the Missoula Phenomenon. The fight
was announced as a ten.round glove con-
test for $50 aside, 65 per cent. o the gate
receipts to go to the winner and thirty
five to the loser. There were the usual
preliminaries of choosing a referee and
timekeeper. AT the call of time Hayes
jumped out of his chair with a rush as if
determined to make a quick fight. Lewis
acted on the defensive. Hayes had
everything his WI way in this round
and landed on Lewis neck whenever he
wanted to but did not follow up Rhls
rushes. In the fourth.round Lewis took
the aggressive and landed several hard
blows on Hayes chin. After tins Hayes
appeared to be getting winded and at
the end of the round looked distressed.
Little fighting occurred in the sixth.
Hard fighting followed in the succeeding
round. Hayes kept up a continual ham,
mering with bis left on Lewis neck, but
failed to follw up his advantage. At the
close of this round the friends of Lewis
did not make so much noise and the man
who had been shouting, "Beat him on
the heart, Nels!" ceased his noise. Hayes
crowded his man into Lewis corner in
the eighth where someho in-fghting en-.
sued until Lewis landed his left on
Hayes mouth and scored a knock-down.
Lewis stock went up and his frieds
yelled to cheer him.
In the opening of the ninth Hayes had
a wicked looking smile on his face. He
landed with both hands on Lewis neck
and rushed him to the ropes near the
footlights. Before Lewis could recover
a left-hand upper cut caught him on the
right jaw, and he sank to the floor, al
most rolling off the stage. A man
near the footlight caught him and the
timekeeper counted off the ten seconds.
Lewis could not respond. Hayes
friends greeted the decision of the referee
with a shout. One of the men who had
been in Hayes corner than came to the
front of. the stage and asked if any one
in the oom wanted to fight. No one
responded. Lewis was on his feet in a
minute after he fell. The sports who
were present declared that the exhibition
was a success.

shall have two or three things to show"
said he recently, (which l think will
both surprise and please the visitors to
the electrical department of the EXPOSE
ton, which, bv the way, I am fully con
WINGED, will be a great success. Two of
these Inventions are not yet ready to be
described or even characterized. The
third, however, is so nearly perfected,
that l do not hesitate to say something
about it.
I hope to be able by the invention to
throw upon a canvas a perfect picture of
anybody, and reproduce his words. Thus,
should Patti be singing somewhere, this
invention will put her full length picture
upon the canvas so perfectly as to enable
one to distinguish every feature and ex-
preston of her face, see all her actions
and listen to the enhancing melody Of
her peerless voice. The invention will
do for the eye what the photograph has
done for the voice, and reproduce the
voice as we'll, in fact, more clearly. I
have already perfected the invention so
far as to be able to picture a prize fight
the two men, the ring, the intensely in
terested feces Of those surrounding it
and you can hear the sound of the blows,
the cheers of encouragement and yells of
disappointment. And when this inven-
ton shall have been perfected" said Mr..
Edison with the trace of enthusiasm's
| glow on his face, "a man will be able to
sit in his library at home, and, having
electrical connection with the theatre,
see reproduced on his wall or a piece of
canvas the actors, AID hear anything
they say. I can place one SO it will COM
mand a street corner, and after letting it
register the passing sights for a time, I
can Lave it. cast them on a canvas so that
every feature and motion of the passers,
even to the twltching of the face, can be
seen, and, if a friend passed during the
time, you may know it. This invention
will be called the 'Kinetograph.' The
first half of the word signifies motion
and the last write and both together
mean the portrayal of motion. The in
v%ention combines photography and pho
biography"
Mr.. Edison occupied nearly an acre
with his exhibit at the Paris exposition.
AS he wishes to show at Chicago all that
he exhibited at Paris, and numerous 9th
er things besides, he is DESTROYS of being
accorded a greater space in 1893. The
electrical exhibit is expected to be the
wonder of the exposition.

Loading Platforms Wanted,

jamestown Alert: It is evident that
the North Dakota railroad commission
ers have some work before them. In
their trip along the Northern Pacific and
branches few complaints were made
known, and those of a trihing character.
These complaints principally related to
loading platforms for farmers to ship
wheat to Independent buyers.
In the country tributary to the Great
Northern more complaints seem to have
been found, and of a graver nature. At
Hope, in Steele county, the special train
bearing the commissioners was met by a
committee of citizens, who first conduct
ed them to the railroad track, and
showed them the side track Tor, rather,
lack of side track) and the great "farm-
ers elevator" This was done that the
gentlemen might see for themselves that
side track accommodations we're very
limited and were not adequate for the
business transacted by the road there,
and for the accommodation Of the farm
ers and other shippers at that point, and
also to show that the loading platform,
as it is, is practically useless to farmers
in loading wheat.
An open meeting was afterwards held
in the town hall and one of the citizens
presented the case to the commissioners
in a carefully prepared document, which
recited their poor tram service, stating
that passengers for the Hope line had to
wait at both Breckenridge and Everest
an indefinite length of time when on
their way up the line, and also the poor
accommodations given passengers on the
road. The reference to high freight
rates was brief but pointed, but the Door
accommodations for loading and in side
trackage were made clear and explicit.
A statement Of the business done at that
point backed up the justice of the re-
quests of the committee for additional
facilities asked.
l. The commissioners promised to do all
in their power to help the people of HOPE
get what they need from the Great
Northern, and Hon. George Walsh made
a speech for the commission, assuring the
people of the boards good intentions,
and future efforts to get what was fair
for all parties.
