The Navajo Indians.

FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, July 1.-THE
trouble with the Navsjos is at an end.
The Indian chief has had his examine
ton, and as there was not sufficient evil
dence to hold him on the charge of
horse stealing, he has been discharged,
and has returned to the reservation. AT
no time during the excitement of the
past week has there been any fear of a
collision between the whites and the
Navajos, and no trouble has been appre-
hended.

Toledo Street Car Strike Settled.

TOLEDO, July 19.--The street car
strike was settled at o'clock this morn
ing as result of the conference among
the company's committee of strikers and
the mayor. All conductors and motor
men are to receive $3.50 per day OF
twelve hours. Drivers of horse cars
$40. The men struck for so instead
of $1.55 and 81. 65. hence the settlement
is a compromise. One of the noteworthy
features of the negotiations was the re-
lection by the strikers of an offer by the
Consolidated company to give cents
out of every tive-40 per cent of the
gross receipts-to the drivers and con-
ductors.

Killed by n Grizzly,

TRINIDAD, COL, July 1.-THE terribly
lacerated body of John Long, of Cats
kill, N. NJ, thirty miles southwest from
Trinidad, has been brought into that
village. Mr.. Long had been hired to
take a camping party from Ration to the
Costello Mountains, several days ago.
He started out from camp, armed with
q shotgun, to hunt small game. That
was the last seen of him alive. As he
did not return that night the party be-
came alarmed at his absence. After q
day thorough search they came on the
mangled and partly eaten body of the
unfortunate teamster. His left leg was
broken and his skull badly fractured.
There were evidences Of hard struggle,
which must have been very unequal.
The details of the encounter will never
he known, but the supposition is that
Loug came suddenly on huge grizzly
bear, and not being able to escape, en-
deavored to defend himself with his
shotgun, but blow from the bears
paw broke his leg, while another
crushed his skull like an egg.shell.
The body had been bitten horribly by
the infuriAted beast Long had been
in this ountry sufficient time to know
better than attack bear with shotgun
and thus bring swift destruction on him

Record Breakers.

DEvMs LACE, July 49, Grand Forks
and Fargo clubs played four games at
the Devils Lake encampment July 18.
II and 10. Grand Forks won the first
game by score Of 9 to 8. and the third
game by z too. Fargo won the second
game by score of 8 to 2. The last
game played today was the longest ever
played, neither team getting a man
across the plate in twenty-fve innings
breaking the worlds record for the
greatest number of innings without a
run being made in the world. The
struggle lasted nearly four hours, when
the game was called to enable the clubs
to catch the train for the east. No less
than eleven double plays were made.
During the game twenty men we're
left on bases. The batteries were:
Grand Forks, Gibbs and Cardno; Fargo,
Raymer and Adams. Each pitcher
struck out eighteen men. Hank Hearne
Fargo's second baseman, accepted six
teen chances out of seventeen; Jack
Mcdonald, Fargo's third baseman, put
five out and ten assists without an error;
Jimmy Banning. short stop for Fargo
and Bob Hill for Grand Forks, played
errorless games. The playing of AL
Watson, second baseman for Grand
Forks, was phenomenal. He accepted
nineteen chances without an error. But
one fly ball was dropped by the out
field. The work of both catchers was
almost perfect, Sid Adams throwing to
bases being unusually accurate.
[NoTE-The longest game ever played
previous to the one,above was played at
Boston, Mass, May II, 1877, between
the Harvard and Manchester clubs,
which was twenty. four innings; score
to ., game called on account of dark
ness. The next longest one was at
1 acoma, between the club of that city
aud one of Seattle, which was twenty
two innings, and won by the Tacoma
by score of 6 to 5. thus it will be
seen that the Fargo and Grand Forks
teams break the worlds record for the
longest game every played without a
score being made by either club.

For a week past the weather

For a week past the weather
has been perfect for wheat
cool, with light breezes. The
grain all through North Dakota
has never been in better shape
at this season of the year than
now. If cool weather-without

seems assured all the state.
North Dakota is all right, and
no state has brighter prospects

The souvenir is, In form, the same as the
Wash. ston jug Of 100 years ago, but is
smaller in size. The Washington Jug was
twelve inches high. The Courtenay souve-
mir is eight inches high. 1t bears, in full
display. the war history of the three gallant
comCanies 70 whose dead the beautiful shaft
of gray granite and bronze is to be erected.
1t also bears on one side the
confederate flag. an exact representation of
the Fort Sumter battle flag. now in the
Washington Light Infantry's armory.
Around the tor Of the jug,
on each side, are these verses:
Sat every board vacant chair
Fills with quick tears some tender eye,
And at our maddest sport appears
Those well-loved forms that will not die"

On one side of the body of the lug is the
tribute OF W. D. Poraer, Feb y, 1873:

that binds them to your memory.
side by side you have toiled with tham on the
weary march, night and day, in summers heat
aud winters SHOWS.
side by side you have stood with them on the
crimson field where battle RACED and death
gathered in his harvest o. the brave.
You are the witnesses of their coastancy and
vaor. You are the sponsors for their good
names.
IN obedience to sentiment of honor and the
call of duty, and in pledge of their sincerity,
they male the last sacrihce---they laid dolCn
their lines.
OF the three companies that bore your name
III soldiers died in battle, in hospitals or The
weary waysde Officers and men they were
Of the very flower of the Ancient City, her young

What story does that record tell Of con-
stancy, Of faithfulness to duty.

The most profitable t:ade,
some dealers think, IS in
things that cost nothing, sell
for a trife, wear out or
break, and make room for
more.
For instance, lamp-chim-
neys; but there is a sort that
almost never breaks, except
by violence. It takes some
pluck for a grocer or crock
ery-merchant to sell it. One
chimney may last for years;
he may starve before he can
sell another.
Macbeth & Co., Pitts
burgh, make that chimney
and call it "pearl-top;"@
there's a string ofpearl- VI
like beads on the top of it.
