surprise some of these cunning sports
who are violating the law. He has
several spotted and will get all the proof
he desires in a few days.
1t is probable that when the night
trains come off on August 9th, the
Engagement who were let out by the
change on August LIST, will be reinstated,
as the work will be too much for the ex-
pressmen alone. The report is probably
a correct one, and will be pleasing to
friends Of the baRgagealen.
Work will probably not begin on the
ditch to be constructed in the eastern
part of the city until the first of next
week, the street commissioner having
some other work which must be
finished up first. The ditch will be an
open enc except in sandy places, and
there sluices will be constructed.
A case of what was pronounced by
those competent to Judge as CHAMBERS
was discovered Saturday in a saddle
horse belonging to the Moran's. The
animal was said to be in a pitiful con-
dition from sickness, and was shot by
the S. F. c. A. The rest of the animals
which were exposed have been quaran-
tined.
DR.. Bentley: Some buildings which
might unfold marvellous tales OF boom
times and tell interesting stories of
what has been, could they talk, went up
in tamesthis morning. I can remem-
Der when the business portion of the
town was down there. Every house
was a hotel, with saloon accompaniment,
and things were indeed lively.
Before Judge Winchester Saturday
was argued the injunction case of the
State VS.. MCPHERSON, being a request
by the defendant for the release of the
building. Attorney Register appeared
for the state and John F. Philbrick for
the defendant. Afidavits were intro
duced and submitted and the Judge
took the case under advisement.
Things in the baggage and express de.
partments of the Northern Pacific are
in the same condition-the baggage
mems conference with Superintendent
Phelan the other day having resulted in
nothing as yet. The whole matter has
been referred to Superintendent Kim
berley, and it is expected his opinion in
the matter will be had in a few days.
Farmer Couch was in the city Satur-
day. He brought in a sheaf of wheat
from the farm of G. NJ. Wright, at
pleasant Grove" near COUGHS, that is
claimed to be a fair sample of eighteen
acres. 1t is a fine specimen and it is es.
timated that the yield will be over
twenty bushels. Mr.. Couch says the
crops in his nelghborhood are very fair.
A runaway team belonging to Will
Craven, created some excitement early
Thursday morning. They broke loose
from the driver while being hitched up,
and after turning over the wagon and
breaking the tongue, they took several
turns around the street before being
caught. Asa Fishers buggy had a mar
row escape from total humiliation by
contact with them.
J. s. Greene: President Cieveland's
message was good as far as It goes, but
it is not the Sherman law that is wholly
to blame for the present condition of
affairs. It is the uncertainty of the
government On the tariff. But this con.
CESS ought to do two things and then
adjourn. Repeal the purchasing clause
in the Sherman law and pass a resolu.

A. G. Reid, better known as "Sandy,"
and W. II. Sloan had some disagree
ment the other evening, which resulted
in q little contest with rature's
in which Sloan came out second best.
AS a result, Reid was arrested and
brought before Justice Tibbils yester-
day morning, on a charge of assault and
battery. Reid waived examination and
gave bond of 5000 to appear at district
court.
Herman Bosse, who traded q house
and lot in Chicago to G. n. Bumstead,
for a farm just the other side of the
Fields place-and gave a $3.50 mortgage
on the farm to Bumstead to cover the
difference in value between the two
pieces of property-has skipped out,
leaving a few debts around as memen
toes. He probably became tired Of
North Dakota farming and returned to
Chicago.
DR.. Treacy came up from Steele Mon.
day, in response to the telegram from
the s. P. G. A. authorities, to make an
examination of the suspected cases of
CHAMBERS. A horse which had been ex-
posed. and showed similar symptoms to

amined, and the disease pronounced to
