Shooting at Sweet Briar.


The peaceful little hamlet of Sweet
Briar, a short distance west of Mandan,
was the scene Of a shooting aEray, Fri
day, which will probably result in the
death of one person. AS near as can be
learned, two members of a threshing
crew became involved in a dispute, which
led to blows, and finally to the shooting
of one by the other. The ball entered
the right side, a little above the hip
joint, and come out slightly below the
navel. Medical assistance was sum-
moned from Mandan, and the opinion
rendered was that the chances of the
wounded man we're slight. His assail-
ant, after realizing the enormity of his
crime secured a horse, and made his es-
cape, not having been captured at
latest accounts. Sheriff Donnelly Fri
day received a telegram to look out
for the man, who is described as short,
dark-complected, with short whiskers,
wearing a duck coat and black SLOUGH
hat, and riding a roar horse. A reward
of $50 has been offered for his appre-
hensiOn.

bright outlook for republican success in

many out Of the party, but he says as a
rule they regard the temperance ques-

matter. Those opposed to Harrison are

as a paymaster, which position he held
until the close Of the war, paying out
millions of money without one penny as a

represented his county in the legislature.

never having visited it l was, naturally,
anxious to know his opinion of the state.

was: "rhe finest l ever saw in a prairie

Torrance Martin was the first North Da-
kota subscriber in Fargo for the Bis
marck TRIBUNE. I had been over the
line in April for the Minneapolis Trib.
une, and had given the country a good
write up. Coming back in May after
announcing my intentions to go to Bis
marck almost everyone I met said "send
me your paper" and some of them in
sisted upon my taking the cash then.
After the paper was out I started from
Bismarck for st. Paul, I had a note of
$500 to pay on my arrival, but I had
money to spare when I reached st. Paul.
"About forty subscribers at Fargo paid
$3.50 each, and Torrance was the first.

Nearly a CONDENSATION.

Barnum & Small's restaurant came
near being the scene of a disastrous con-
hagration at about 4:30 Friday after
moo One of the cooks attempted to
fill the lamp attachment Of the coffee
urn without extinguishing the flame,
and an explosion resulted, which
ignited the quart can of gasoline which
he held, scattering the burning liquid
everywhere. The air for a time was a
mass of fame and smoke, and the fire
rapidly communicated to the wall of the
building, where it burned tiercely for a
time, until, with difficulty, it was extin-
guished by the efforts of the proprietor
and several ~bystanders. The hands and
face of the cook were painfully but not
seriously burned. The escape from a
disastrous fire was narrow, as had the
fire gotten beyond control it would. no
doubt, have been a repetition of the
conhagration of some months ago.

A Change in Appearance.


A considerable change has been made
in the appearance of the postofice, since
Friday. Had one visited the office
early yesterday morning, he would have
been able to peer into the recesses of it's
interior, for there was a gaping hole in
the south side of the box frame, where
one section, 140 boxes had been taken
out. These have been sold to the post
Office at Livingston, Mont, where they
are needed. The money order depart
ment has been moved from the north
east corner of the building to the space
recently occupied by the section o boxes
which has been sold. The change will
be convenient, both TO employees and
patrons of the Office.
