The Beginning OF the Trouble Dates

All but 800 of the Indians Drawing

Canadian Half-Breeds.

bo1TINEAU, N. D., Sept. 1.-the be-
ginning OF the trouble with what is
known as the Turtle Mountain band Of
Chippewas dates almost from the ear.
liest history Of the Dakotas. Shortly
after Dakota was organized into terri
tory, and while still the home of count
less buffalo and other game, numbers of
Indians from the White Earth reserva.
tion in Minnesota obtained permission
from the government to roam over these
hunting grounds without limit as to
time, coming and going at pleasure
Encroaching settlers in the Red River
valley drove the game farther west, and
the red man followed into that ideal re-
gion of the sportsman, the Turtle noun
tain country. Not content with the
privilege Of hunting, they laid claim to
large tract, embracing what is now
Rollette and large portion Of adjoin-
ing counties. The government, to avoid
trouble, recognized their claim SO far as
to grant them two townships in what is
now Rollette county. but th-y have
never ceased to claim what they had
originally blocked out. What a fraud
is being perpetrated may be seen by tho
fact that while there are about 5000
drawing rations not more than 300 are
Indians. the remainder being Canadian
half breeds.

Of increased misery, destitution and
waste. The loss to property is something
enormous, and everywhere railroad
trains have been derailed, and the roads
blocked The meagre details thus far
received from the province of Toledo
give narrowing account of the extent
and phenomena of
The Overwhelming Catastrophe
which has befallen the province. So
sudden was the breaking forth of the
waters that in numberless instances the
unfortunate people were drowned before
they could leave their beds. Strong
bodies of laborers, assisted by troops are
working day and night to recover the
bodies of those drowned and crushed to
death, but up to the present time only
400 of the bodies Of the missing thou
sands have been secured. The vintage
and the corn crop Of the distressed dis
tricts have been totally destroyed so
that poverty and hunger must follow
In the wake of this frightful visitation.

TACOMA, Wash,, Sept. 15.-President
Hill, of the Great Northern railway,
who has arrived here, settled authori.

Of the railway line begun last

1.-THE line belongs to the Great North

mer having borne half the expense Of
construction. expect the road will be
finished next year and used jointly by
tho two companies. The Great North
ern's line will not be complete until it
extends from st. Paul to Puget Sound
and thence south to the Columbia river.
We shall be running through trains to
the sound from ST. Paul in eighteen
months. Our line is being built across
the Rocky mountains as fast as men and
money cen push it. From New West.
minister, in British Columbia, to the
Columbia river is a series of cities which
the Great Northern proposes to wear
like necklace of pearls. Tacoma will
certainly be on our main line."

CoNsTANTlNoPLE, Sept. ia detach-
ment Of blue jackets and marines from
British ironclad, accompanied by a
battery of light field pieces and several
Gatling guns, landed at Sigri. on the
island of Mitylene, formally occupying
that place in the name Of the queen of
England. There is good harbor at
Sigri, and it is supposed that the British
naval officers at Mitylene intend to
1ortify the island and make it coaling
station and rendezvous for the British
Mediterranean fleets. The island would
form most advantageous position from
which Great Britain could control the
waters of the Hellespont.

twenty-five miles of the Hellespont; has

SARDSLEY ON THE STAND,

Philadelphia's Convicted ex-City Treas

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18.-Another act
in the drama of Bardsley is that which
has just been presented in the common
pleas court, No. 1, on the sixth floor of

PENDANTS, witnesses and on-lookers. John
Bardsley was brought from Cherry Hill
about o'clock, and shortly after was
driven to the city hall. He was in
charge of Warden Cassidy. When all
preliminaries had been arranged the dis
trict attorney said he proposed to call
the attention of the court to some cases
arising out of the recent troubles so
that if the evidence justified it, war
rants of arrest could be issued against
the parties.
Then the district attorney narrated
the fact that his assistants had fire.
quently visited Bardsley in his cell to
obtain testimony, but had met with OBJ

nounced the names of the witnesses
subpenaed and John Bardsley was the
first called. The clerk offered to swear
him, but he refused, saying: "The pub
lie have been taught to believe that there
is no value in my word whatever. I
have been maligned and I have got to-
day more than can bear. My self re-
spect, however, in view of all that has
been said and done, will not permit me
under any circumstances to give any
testimony in this court"
Bardsley finally consented to be sworn
and after number of questions were
asked him, all of which he declined to
answer, he was dismissed from the
stand.
The Glendenning case was next called
and after lengthy examination Robert
Glendenning and George H. Huhn, con-
stituting the firm of Glendenning G. Co.,
were held in $4,000 bail each for court,
on the charge of having aided and
abetted Bardsley in his conversion Of
the public money. Bail was then en-

Big Railroad:Deal.
@EM3

ST.. PAUL, Sept. 18.-The Pioneer Press
publishes the following; Nothing in
the way of railroad combinations will,
perhaps, surprise the people these days,
but, If the rumors now current of GER
tain com bination should prove correct,
they will cause not only surprise but as
tonishment in some circles. The COM
bination in question will be the greatest
that has yet been formed, and will not
only vitality affect St. Paul, but the
whole United States and Canada The
rumored deal is nothing less than a
combination, in one system, and under
one management, of the Great Northern,
Canadian Pacific and 500 systems of
railway. While, of course, nothing is
known definitely and officially concern
ing this great scheme, it comes from
sources that give it a strong color of au-
thenticity and the probability of its
truth is strengthened by many incidents
which have transpired of late. These
incidents, while, taken singly, would
attract but little attention, when
considered together form strong chain
of circumstantial evidence in support Of
the combination as stated will soon be
announced.
Would Be Advantageous.
There are many advantages to all the
roads concerned which might be pointed
out as the result Of the combination.
One of the chief of these would result to
the Great Northern, in removing it from
the control Of the interstate commerce
law. This has already proved of i'm
mense value to those roads that are al
lowed to compete for business in the
United States, but are not subject to the
interstate law. While it is probable
that officials of the different roads
mentioned will deny the story of the
combination, as is usually the case when
great schemes of that kind are being
perfected, yet it comes from such sources
and is confirmed by 80 many circum-
stances as to make it a matter for dis
cussion among railroad men.
