The New Years SOciable,
GFrOrn Fridav's Dailv.1

A very nice company gathered at the
Baptist church last evening, and after a
season of sociability, an enjoyable pro-
gram, musical and literary, was carried
out. After a general song, very sweet
solos we're sung by Miss Celia Conway
and a beautiful duet was rendered by
Miss Frances Lambert and Robert E.
Kline. The audience manifested their
appreciation by generous applause. Miss
Emma Beardsley ably presided at the
organ. Bismarck's talented little elocu-
ZIONIST, Ara Waggoner, recited in an i'm
pressive Tennyson's "Ring Out
Wild Bells" Miss Clara Whitney read
"The Old Year is Dying" also by Tenny-
son, and won applause. On the walls of
the chapel the following sentiments were
displayed: ga Happy New Year and
Many Returns, 1922 "Welcome and
Best Wishes;;' "Be Strong in the Lord
and in the Power of His Might. Put on
the Whole Armor of God"

Mrs. Slaughter's Books.

Mrs. Linda W. Slaughter c"Ze-
zula") has received copyrights for two
new books, me of which, entitled "From
Fortress to Farm" is a history of the
Missouri river region in it's development
from a frontier army post among hostile
Indians into a farming country, as it was
witnessed by herself as the wife of an
army surgeon, as postmistress of Bis
marck and as school superintendent of
Burleigh county. Full Justice is done to
all the old-time settlers in this work.
The other book, entitled "a Bolt of
White Ribbon is chiefly humorous in
style, but contains the history of prohi-
bition in North Dakota, and includes re-
ports of prohibition debates in congress
and the Dakota legislature, and argu-
ments before the senate committee on
alcoholic liquors, of which Senator In
gals was chairman, by Frances Willard,
president of the w. G. T. u; Louis
Schade, attorney for the liquor protect
i've league; DR.. Mary Walker and 9th ers.
This work is illustrated from pencil
sketches made by the author. Both
books will be published in the spring.

inson, Father Perrault has acted, so far
as l can judge, perfectly right. I will
support Father Perrault at any cost in
this case. An old stove matters little.
A priests good name is worth much.
Father Perrault was about to leave those
missions when this case arose,a clergyman
having already been appointed to relieve
him of that burdensome charge. He
will still have power, as a citizen of
North Dakota to prosecute if he sees fit,
the alleged old stove man and the clique
of nominal Catholics who support the
junk dealer in his threatened suit.
Father Perrault is pastor Of Mandan now
as he has been since 1887.

District Court.

In the district court Monday the
case of NJ. J. Edgerley VS.. Joseph Hare,
with John X. Wetherby was tried before
Judge Winchester.
This was a suit to settle the question
of the ownership of lot 5, block II. The
plaintiff claims that James B. Bailey, de-
ceased, was owner of the lot in question,
and he died interstate, and that his
widow and son gave quit claim deed to
the plaintiff for the property. The de-
Tense insisted that James B. Bailey had
no interest in the property in question,
and was not the owner of the same when
he died.
Two hours were taken up in reading
the papers and discussing motions to
strike out a certain paragraph in the
intervenor's complaint, which motions
we're made by Mr.. Edgerley.
Mrs. Lucy Bailey testified hat she and
her husband lived on the lot in dispute
in 1872 and 1873; that she gave a quit
Cldllu Ocou " Uuo pldluIlu III oCIODoI,
1890.
The main question involved in the
case was whether, under the old town
site law of the territory, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey we're entitled to the lot because
they we're the first to improve the lot.
They put up a house and kept a board
ing house. Mr.. Edgerley claimed that
| the provision in the TOWNSHIP law giving
to a certain commission the power to
determine the rights of the settlers to
the real estate, was unconstitutional.
The defense claimed that, as the Bailey's
had stood by and seen the improvements
90 on without any objection, the plain
tiff was estopped from coming in now
and making the claim he does.
After the plaintiff had put in his case,
the defense moved a dismissal. The
court took the motion under advisement
and court adjourned till tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, JAN. 8. 1892.

ten or thirteen feet from Huber at
that time and Mick about eight or ten
feet. I was where 1 could see it all. I
could tell it was a big revolver. Looked
as though it had a dark colored handle.
1t looked like a very large revolver to
me. 1t was between s and 9 o'clock in
the evening. This witness at the re-
quest of Boucher was not allowed to
hear the evidence of the other wit
nesses.
Register: You were near enough to
hear what Huber said when he pointed
the revolver at Mick, we're you?
Burlington: I was, he said, c.
d I will shoot a hole through you.
The witness identified the defendant as
the man who pulled the revolver and
made the above statement at the time.
On cross examination he said he had
no gun with him. When they went up
to the house from the pond they left
their guns on the grindstone. He heard
no conversation between Huber and
Hawley. When Mick asked Huber for
the horse Huber said he would not let
him have it. Mick said all right, he
would get it. Huber told him he would
shoot a hole through him. He thought
Huber had the revolver in his right
hand. He didn't know whether the re
volver was loaded or not. He didn't say
anything when Huber pointed the re-
volver and he thought Mick said "That
is all right" and they went back to
O'Connor's house. Just before Huber
threatened to shoot Mick he said some
thing about he had the horse and dam
ages to his corn, also said something
about Mick getting off his place and we
vent home. The state then rested.
Mr.. Boucher asked that the defendant
be discharged on the ground that the
defendant had a right to do just what
the evidence of the prosecution said he
had done. That the defendant had a
right to hold the horse for trespass.
States Attorney Register thought the
state had made a case and he wished the
defendant held.
The Court said he thought a prima
facie case had been made and he asked
the defense to put IN their testimony.
The defense waived further examina-
ton and the court. fixed the bond of
| Huber at $500.

Another Appeal,

There was fled Thursday in the Of
flee of the clerk of the supreme court
the papers IN appeal in the case of Eng
lish VS.. Goodman, an action for work,
labor and services originating in a justice
court in Stutsman county. The plain
tiff recovered there and was also sue
cessful in Judge Roses tribunal on ap-
peal. Now the last court will take a
whack at it. The subject matter of the
controversy amounts to $50 and by this
time the costs have aggregated nearly
twice as much. s. L. Glaspell appears
for the plaintiff and Lewis T. Hamilton
for the defendant.

Letter in Cakes Independent.
To the independent:

10 the Independent:
Presidents and secretaries of sub-alli-
ances will please call their respective al
HahceS together as soon as possible and
see that their dues for the last two quar-
tiers OF the year 1891 are paid promptly, al
so the dues for the year 1892 should be paid
at once in advance. The state alliance
has pdid ont every dollT received for
the lUSt SIR months tn sustain OT paper.
E. j. MClNNES,
Secretary.
PoRr EMMA, N. d., Dec, 8, '91.-The
above is read by members of the various
alliances, followed by a shrug of their
shoulders, and in nine cases out of ten,
ELECTS these words, "what do I pay my
money for that paper for, when I can get
along just as we'll without it?" Right
here Is where the shoe pinches a MAORI
ty Of alliance members. Shall we as in
dependents continue to have saddled
upon us the supporting of a fourth rate
paper and paying for the same in dues,
which amount to fully as much as the
expense of maintaining the entire
alliance organization?
Can the alliance afford to jeopardize
it's existence for the amount of benefit
received from this source? Is. it posi-
BILE that the intelligent farmers who be-
long to our order will allow themselves
to be drawn upon for the money, in the
shape of dues, to support such a worth
less leech? Where is our independence?
Is it not against the fundamental princi-
Piles of our organization to foster such
blood-suckers upon our very existence?
While the spirit of the alliance is against
all rings and monopolies, it seems rather
unjust to tolerate, under the guise of
"education," any such form of robbery.
Let us hear from you, brethren, upon
this subject. Shall we continue to pay
tribute to a thing of this kind, or shall
we evince our entire independence by
not paying for any more?
Give us free and untrammeled indie
pendence in every respect. Was the ALI
ance created for the purpose of support
ing a set Of newspaper men who were out
of a job? If SO, let us know it.

A Rich County.

The following is taken from Il circular
issued by Arthur A. Brundage of the
Dawson Standard to eastern investors il
western farm mortgage loans, which viii
doubtless result in bringing a large
amount of capital to Kidder county
"This (Kidder) county is situated on &
gently rolling plateau, midway between
the James and Missouri river valleys, is
possessed of a soil remarkably produc
tive, and is favored with a climate of rare
healthfulnees; and, owing to its great
abundance of luXuriant and nutritious
native grasses, ~inexhaustible natural
meadows and numerous pure spring
water lakes, is thoroughly adapted to
general farming and stock raising. It is
the unanimous verdict of all who have
taken the trouble to investigate that its
advantages for sheep %husbandry are not
surpassed by those Of any other section
of the union. 1t is largely settled by
thrifty, enterprising Americans, who
have found the farm and stock-raising
industries abundantly profitable, and who
have proven the capacity Of the country
for the liquidation of indebtedness to be
unsurpassed by any other section of the
great northwest. It is a fact worthy of
notice here that, with the large number
of loans made to persons in this county
for the purpose of securing title to lands
under the pre- emption laws of the United
States, that a foreclosure of mortgage is
a rarity, and that about the only fore.
closures that have been made have been
the result of loans made by nonresident
capitalists, without the intervention of
local agents who could vouch for the in
tegrity of the borrower or the perfect
ness of his title to the property on which
the loan was secured. Rich as is the
county of which Kidder county is a part
in natural resources, it must invite the
assistance of outside capital l n it's effort
at perfect development. Such is the ma
ture of all latent wealth. Even the pro-
ducts of the mines that are rich in their
deposits of precious metals do not get
into the channels of commerce wholly by
means of the wealth that is stored in
them, and even the marvellous product
iveness of North Dakota's soil and eli
mate cannot claim to be an exception to
the rule. 1t is a fact plainly evident to
the careful Investigator that the great
northwest possesses almost immeasur-
able advantages for the employment of
capital at highly remunerative rates of
interest, with as absolute certainty of a
prompt return to the lender as exists
anywhere, and at the same time leave a
liberal profit to the borrower"

Plenty of Politics This Year

jamestown Capital: This year the
people of this state will elect state sena-
tors in the odd numbered districts, and
the entire membership of the lower
house of the legislature, and that legis-
lature will elect a United States senator.
A member of congress will be elected,
also an entire state ticket, n judge of
the supreme court, and three presidential
electors. In addition to these each
county will elect county officers. There
viii be some politics in this state this
year.

Allin was in town last Wednesday. It is
too early yet, he says, to begin to talk
politics, although it will begin to warm
up pretty early in the spring this year.
He wants to live long enough to cast his
vote for James G.. Blaine for president.
With Blaine's name at the head of the
ticket the northwest would give an over
whelming republican majority, and even
New York would be a safe republican
state.

The Alert Agin Blaine.

jamestown Alert: It would be in har-
mony with "Mr. Blaine's policy" to have
the big United States declare war on
Chile, lombard a few towns on that strip
of semi-arid land occupied by a semi.
civilized race, dictate terms of peace,
and then point with pride to the daz-
cling performance as another instance of
the great secretary's intense American
ism. But vaulting ambition has over
leaped itself before.

perado and miners sympathzer, Bub
Lindsay, has been plainly manifest
among the citizens of this place.
Sunday night about 10 o'clock a party
of them through a slick piece of STRAIT
egy obtained possession of Lindsay and
marched him down the railroad toward
Brceville with the full determination
to forever end his deviment.
Lindsay has been the terror of the
entire section of country for long
time. No less than seven men are
claimed to have met death at his hands,
and it can be readily seen why he was
an object of such enmity.
The party had not proceeded far when
they halted in ravine to put their
plans into execution. They gave Lind
say chance to speak for himself. How
we'll he improved the opportunity was
shown by later Developments.

Stray Spark Sets Fire to the Air Ship
1t Collapsed and the Female Aeronaut
Fell to the Earth.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. GA picnic was
held Sunday evening at Shooting park,
and balloon ascension, with n sensa-
tional parachute leap, was the principal
feature of the days entertainment
Mrs. Prof. Watson Steele was the as.
censionist, assisted by Lew Morehead,
both of whom have gained considerable
notoricty in similar events. The balloon
was hot-air affair. The heat was
generated by bonfire, over which
the huge canvass bag was held until
inflated. At $50 o'clock Mrs. Steele
took her seat in the car and the word
was given to cut away the guy ropes.
In an instant the balloon tloatcd grace
fully upward.
When the air ship reached height
of 800 feet a frightful flame shot from
inside its folds.
1t had been ignited by a spark from
the bonfire. Mrs. Steele, the ascension
list, did not see her peril until she was
warned by frightened cxclamations from
the crowd. She looked upward just as
half of the balloon was suddenly en-
gulfc in flames. 1t stopped rs upward
course and fell like flash toward the
earth. Mrs Steele attempted to save
herself with the parachute, but when
she tried to cut the rope holding it to
the burning balloon, her efforts were
unsuccessful.
She finally succeeded in getting it
loose and lcapcd from the car. just as
she made the leap for life the burning
balloon collapsed and fell on top of the
parachute, turning it sidewise. Then
balloon, woman and parachute fell in a
tangled mass toward the ground. In
falling Mrs Steele struck the roof of a
barn with terrific force She rolled off
this structure and fell to the earth.
Children screamed, women tainted, and
pandemonium rcigned supreme. A
physician was hastily summoned, and
found Mrs. Steele unconscious She was
taken to her home at Front and State
streets. where a closer examination de-
velopcd that her skull had been frac-
tured by the fall.
