running at quite a good rate of speed
she was very evidently in ignorance O
the mode of stepping off q moving train
for she started to run the wrong way
and took several tumbles which woult
have inspired an acrobat with the su'
premest delight.
A number of orders for fireworks hav,
been received from forts in the nelghbor
hood, and several large bundles wert
sent Yesterday to Fort Stevenson, where
they will be manipulated by the noble rec
men. The Indians are anxious to joir
with the whites in the annual celebra
ton Of our independence, and a proper
spirit in them is manifested thereby.
The Fargo Argus shouts unfairness
fraud, unsatisfactory decisions, anG
every other kind of wrong dealing or
the calendar. It says the judges were
unfair and that no one but Grand
Forks and Bismarck were satisfied with
the contest and decision. Nevertheless
Bismarck won the race, and it is prob.
able that if Grand Forks is satisfied, the
race was probably a fair one.
Archie Currie, in Fargo Republican;
Yes, I had q royalty good time at the
tournament. Bismarck has got some of
the best runners I ever saw, but they had
a very poor coupling. In the free-for- all
race yesterday they made the run in "a
seconds and then fell down on the COUP
ling. I think on the whole the tourna-
ment has been a good one and that the
association is now in first. class con-
dition.
F. R. Fulton of Grand Forks, has
been in the city for the last few days, ar
ranging the matters regarding Burleigh
county's bonds. It is understood that
the deal has been contaminated, the
bonds hoated, and hereafter Burleigh
county's indebtedness will be completely
covered. The commissioners have acted
wisely and discreetly III the matter, and
Burleigh county will in the future pay
cash for articles received and services
rendered.
Mandan Pioneer: If one might be-
ieve the Bismarck Settler, one would
think that President Cakes, Mr.. Willard,
General Manager Mellen, and General
superintendent Kimberly, had all been
putting in their best ticks in Burleigh
county during the past week or two,
trying to get people to vote for MI. Per-
kins for superintendent of schools.
Queer that the TRIBUNE does not keep
us informed on these things-that we
ha We to learn of the whereabouts of
these big men through the Settler.
Three young fellows from Mouse
river, travelling overland, transferred
across the river to Mandan yesterday.
They intend going to the Little Missouri
river for the purpose of buying a bunch
of horses, which they will drive back.
A number Of Bismarckers engaged them
in conversation, as to the country
through which they had travelled, and as
to their opinions of it. A full blooded
setter, which they had with them, was
a source Of interest to the dog fanciers,
and many were their expressions of adj
miration.
A Mandanite: Your Mandan telegram
says that the publication of matters in
relation to the "immoral" life Of Super
intendent Lorin, reacted in his favor. I
don't see it that way. Where the papers
circulated he got no votes. In Mandan
he got seventy-one votes only out of $40
and out of 499 votes in the precincts
along the railroad or close to p~ostofices
comprising the greatest intelligence, he
got only LOG. There were four candi-
dates running, but the woman got but
few votes. Lorin's majority came from
outlying districts where scarcely an
English paper ever goes.
Fargo Republican: Several of the
fremen came back from Grand Forks
last night and this morning and I find
that after all the contests at the tourna-
ment were rather good natured. OF
course they we're hot, as all the boys had
made up their minds to win. The
Yerxas still hold the championship but
Bismarck got the prize this year. Some
of the boys say there is no disputing the
fact the Bismarck boys are sprinters
from away back. It is said they made
the run in the free-for-all yesterday in
"a seconds but failed on the coupling.
Everybody is glad to hear of Bismarck'e
good luck as the boys have been persist.
cat.
Several Mandan boys passed through
the city yesterday morning, on route
home from the tournament. In answer
to numerous questions, they said that in
the free-for-all contest, the Bismarck
boys ran to the hydrant in three seconds
less time than the Yerxas, but that the
coupling was jammed in some manner
