Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-10-27

T. F. Grant, the one.legged dancer.
appeared in Bismarck in 1881, and will
be remembered favorably by old.time
Bismarckers. He asked this morning
for Sam Whitney, Truax, Hackett and
other familiar names of early days.
1t may be the two men who held up
S. a. Peterson are the ones who burg
larlzed and fred Strickler's store at
Stanton, the other night. Both men, it
is said, had on new coats, Of the same
kind, which may be some they stole at
Stanton.
The express from the east will here.
after arrive on the first section Of No. /.
and the baggage on tue second. This
change is made, so that, should the
Wisconsin Central be late, the first sec.
ton will not have to be held in st. Paul,
to make express connections.
J. A. Bump, whose home up near Har-
vey was broken into and burglarized
during his absence, returned to the city
yesterday. The damage and loss is said
by Mr.. Bump to be fully as bad as re-
ported, everything, v e to pictures and
like articles having been taken.
j. B. Wineman will be associated with
Attorney General Standish for the state
in the pending case against Treasurer
Nomland in the supreme court. The bill
which became the law, whose constitu.
.tionality is now assailed was Wineman's,
and it is right he should take a hand in
the matter himself.
Auditor Edick is busy gathering to-
gether election supplies to fit out the
several precincts at the coming election
of commissioner. The election is under
the Australian law, and there's an ex.
traordinary amount of scarlet ribbon
about it, which does not endear it to
county officials, at least.
Clerk Hoskins is just now busily en-.
gaged-by WREN looking up quarters
for the meeting of the state supreme
court in Grand Forks on the 3lst inst.
It seems the district and United States
courts are occupying the court house
and other quarters will have to be Sc
cured for the state court.
The Mandan Pioneer cites Dugald
Campbell of Emmons county, as one
who has been a democrat in the past,
but who will be an ardent republican in
the future. Mr.. Campbell is a sheep
raiser, and after q little of democratic
rule, is satisfied that republican pro-
lection is what is needed by him, in the
sheep business.
Larry Casselman has been appointed
auditor up in Mclean county, to fill out
the unexpired term of F. B. Wells, de-
ceased. Larry has held the Office before,
and understands it's ms and outs. And
the appointment is about the same in
its results as would an election have
been, as Larry is the choice of the Nc
Lean county people.
John Haley of W%llliamsport, who was
injured by being thrown from a wagon
last July, and who has been confined in
the hospital here ever since, is just able
to be out on the street, with the aid OF q
crutch and cane. The injuries he re-
ceived resulted in a partial paralysis Of
the lower limbs, but he is recovering
slowly, and it is hoped in time he will
recover completely.
Some about town people are wonder
ing just what was the significance of the
recent visit to this section of General
Manager Underwood Of the 500, and
whether his impressions of the country
were such as to induce him to advise the
immediate construction of a branch
through Bismarck, to the north. There's
some good coal up north, which, could
the mines be tapped by SOM line, would
be a good thing for the 500, and for coal
consumers.
The balance of railroad traffic, now, at
least so far as Bismarck is concerned, is
from Chicago homewsrd. The fair
visitors are returning at the rate of one
or two a day, and probably nearly all
Bismarckers who have taken in the fair,
with the exception possibly of a few who
have business interests which will pre-
vent their leaving until after the fair
is over, are home again. There are still
a few who intend to take in the fair, at
this late date, but they are the consider
| able minority.
If local merchants are short of vege.
tables at this particular time it may not
be out of place to remark that Gottlieb
Huber shipped a carload of cabbage and
other green goods to Mandan the other
day, not being able to make q dicker with
merchants here. Gottlieb sold his goods
in Mandan, and if so, and Mandan deal
ers could buy them at q satisfactory
price, after they had been freighted
across the Missouri, it seems queer that
