CHAPTER |.

When the Indian summer haze is how
ering over the bluffs along the Pawnee
in these dreamy. sunshiny afternoons of
late November, there is dangerous
spell even in soldier life. and the troop
ers love TO loll about the wide porches OF
the barracks during their brief leisure
moments or while waiting the trumpet
call for stables. There is scarcely
breath of air astir. The broad, fertile
valley under the bluffs forest fringed
along the stream, gives forth a faint.
pungent. smoky odor. and the eye wan
ders across its soft undulations. its vistas
Cf alternate glade. grove and shadowy
pool, and sees it all as through some
filmy. intangible veil. The sharp out

other seasons. giving to the ridge to the
northwest that razorback guise that in

into softer curves.
There is an echo sprite abroad in the
autumn skies. for the distant whistle of
the trains. the puff and pant of engines
miles away. the rumble of the express
itS 1t Mes across the wooden at Big
Bend far down the valley. the lowing of
cattle and the tinkle of their bells at the
farms beyond the reservation lines, the
shouts and laughter of village children
securing the stream banks for the last
of the years crop of beech or butternut.
the soft laughter of the ladies gathered
in the veranda of the majors quarters,
all come floating through the pulseless
air TO the listening ears of the sentry
dawdling here along the post at the
western gate and distracting his atten-
ton from the purely military functions
which ne is called upon to perform.
Over at the guardhouse many of the
men are browsing in the afternoon sun
shine Among the stables the horses
are standing at the picket line. with
dropped heads and lazily swishing tails

A FEW BLOODY NOSES,
But the Union Printers Had No
Hand in It,

There is nothing new in the strike at
the West Publishing company's. Not
printer is at work in the place. The
rumor to the effect that number of
country printers o2me to the city to take
the place of the strikers has been sIfted
down to the fact that several came TO
the city, but did not offer themselves
when they became acquainted with
the situation. A free fight came
near being inaugurated Tuesday even
ing. Some of the strikers sympathiz-
ers waited at the establishment until
several of those who had been hired
during the day came out at six O'Clock.
A discussion began which led to blows.
The scuffle was stopped by union men
who were near, after nose or two had
been bIoodied. The typographical
union stoutly denies any disposition to
resort to other than lawful and reason
able means to attain its end, and 1t
discOurages any scene similar 10 that of

ALL BOY CRIMINALS,
Who Threw Themselves on tht
Mercy of the Court,

Who Threw Themselves on the
Mercy of the Court.
A number of criminal cases were dis
posed of in short order in Judge Kelly's
court yesterday. They. with but one
exception, implicated mere boys. As
sistant County Attorney Pierce Butler
had collected evidence sufficient to con-
Wet all of them. They therefore threw
themselves upon the mercy of the court
and pleaded guilty. Alfred E. Young,
the colored man who was recently
found guilty of stealing the clothing
73O Sherburn avenue, pleaded guilty
of stealing some clothing belonging
to Mrs. Hedberg. He was sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary for the
first offence and one and half years
for the second, making three years and
a half in all, at hard labor. 1t is said
that the police are glad to get clear of
him, as he has been implicated in about
thirty petty larcenles.
Joseph Smith and Frank Kegel
pleaded guilty of larceny. They stole
a lot of cigars and tobacco from the
store of Bigue 81 Sorensen. on the West
side, and were about to dispose of them
to gang of boys who keep ''hole in
the wal' near the old Tribune building,
in Minneapolis. when they were ar
rested upon suspicion by Officer Harris,
of that city.
Charles Messbrugger pleaded guilty
to being one of the crowd of boys who
did up an interurban car conductor.
The conductor, Austin A. Secor, was i'll
the court room and exhibited where his
overcoat, undercoat and other clothes
had been cut clear across the back. He
had also been cut OH the arm.
W. E. Wilson pleaded guilty to an in
dictment, charging him with passing a
forged check for S21 Oh the st. Paul
National bank. The check was drawn
in favor of o. T. Roberts, treasurer of
the Commercial club, and was signed
w. D. Crossman. Wilson told Judge
Kelly that he had lived the past three
years in Minneapolis
Smith, Kegel, Moosbrugger and Will
son will be sentenced at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon.

the murder of Samuel Blackstone will

THE DITTMAN DIVORCE.
The Wife Is Free and the Nasti-
ness Is Over

The Wife Is Free and the Nasti-
ness Is Over.
The trial of the divorce suit of Mailing
B. Dittman against Claus M. Dittman,
before Judge Kerr, yesterday developed
a wide divergence Of facts as detailed
by the contending husband and wife.
She and her father on the one side de-
tailed repulsive state of family affairs,
whilst the husband fatty contradicted
them by his testimony. At the conclu-
sion of the hearing Judge Kerr decided
to grant Mrs. Dittman a divorce and
the custody of their nine-year-old twin
children.
Claus NJ. Dittman was for a number
of years prominent and respected bus
mess man in this city. He was large
owner and heavy operator III real estate
eight or ten years ago. In September,
1878. he married the beautiful daughter
of j. G. Bettingen, man of some
wealth. She is fourteen years younger
thaRher husband, and was then girl
in her teens. A few years after the
marriage Dittman conveyed his $4,000
residence on st. Anthony hill to his
wife, and other property to her father
for her use. In 1884 he became involved
in business, and made an assignment.
Shortly after this Mrs. Dittman
went to her fathers home. and has
since refused to live with her husband.
At the hearing yesterday she asserted
that he had cursed her, called her vile
names, thrown stool at her, broke the
furniture, attempted to shoot her, and
her life was saved by her father hap
pening to go in the room and taking the
L. e. L 4
that he had paid several thousand dol
lars for Dittman to keep him from go
ing to the penitentiary for forgery. In
his testimony Dittman denied all these
assertions. He never had improper re-
lations with other women. He was not
in the habit of swearing, and never
swore at his wife or her family nor
called any of them vile names. He had
always treated his wife kindly.

A GREAT BUILDING
To Be Erec for the Minnesota

To Be Ere cted for the Minnesota
Shoe Company.
The shoe factories OF St. Paul have
established high reputation through
out the Northwest. These factories are
among the best in the city, and the in
dications point to one of them assuming
a position which will place it on an
equality with the greatest manufactures
throughout the Union. The Minnesota
Shoe company is the acknowledged
leading factory in ST. Paul. Its bust
ness has grown remarkably of late
years. The premises have been increased
from time 10 time. but at last larger
and more suitable buildings are requis-
ite. The Minnesota Shoe company was
established by the late Conrad Gotzian,
and yesterday Mrs. Gotzian purchased
a valuable piece of property at the cor
ner of Fifth and Wacouta, owned by
Joseph A. Wheelock. 1t is her inten-
ton to at once proceed with the erec-
ton of a siX-story building, which will
be especially equipped for the Mime
sofa Shoe company. The building will
be the largest one in the country houS-
ing shoe factory.

Too Valuable to Lose.

Mark Costello, the popular assembly
man, who has been wintering in the
South for the past couple of months. re-
turned home yesterday, evidently much
improved in health. While at New Or
Ienns he sent his resignation to Presi-
dent Murray, but that gentleman quiz
city pigeonholed it, and not even so
much as presented it to the assembly
for its consideration. MIR. Murray was
of the opinion that Mr. Costello was far
too valuable member to lose, and in
this he will be borne out by the citizens
of ST. Paul generally who have the
highest regard for him. 1t is to be hoped
that the genial Mark will reconsider his
action, for the council can i'll afford to
lose SO good member, so wise eoun-
Selor and SO conscientious a citizen.

owner of. He was arrested and sent to
Jail for larceny. After his term had eX-
PRED charge OF burglary was trumped
up against him for the same act, and he

parents desire his release, so that he
