out the formaiity of a goodbye, is back
at his abiding place once more. After a
jaunt of several days over the Burleigh
county prairies, he was taken in tow
Thursday, and brought back. Johnson
has pursued a rather devious course
since his escape, taking to the south
ward at first, and passing near the DR..
Kendrick place south of the city Sunday
night. He was seen there, and his pres
ence reported to the authorities, who
sent men after him. But johnson did
not continue IN this direction, and
struck north again, along the river. He
passed under the bridge at the river,
which he desired to cross, but he saw a
guard there, and didn't stay. Passing
on up the river, he struck across coun-
try, and yesterday afternoon, he halted a
passing team and asked for a ride. He
got in, and his actions exciting suspicion,
he was taken in charge by L. D. Nc
Mum, the driver of the team, and
brought in and turned over to the au-
thorities.
johnson has rustled a change of
clothing since his escape, and when
found, had on q rusty brown coat and
pants and a black felt hat, which he
claims he found in a deserted camp
along the river.

The Kent Case.

Mandan Pioneer: There have been
a good many rumors flying about during
the week regarding the Kent case
Some people have claimed that Ton.
Swidensky, who is now in Jail, has made
a confession. Then the identical sum OF
money he was supposed to receive for
making the confession has been stated.
The presence in town a few days ago of
a gentlemen who was supposed to be
Swldensky's attorney has done some.
thing to give color to these rumors.
States Attorney Voss, who should
know something about any con-
f~ession, says if there has been one
made, he would like to know what it is.
It is understood that Sheriff Bingen-
heimer has gone east for Kent, but
whether it is to arrest him for burglary,
embezzlement, murder or what, he did
not announce before he left. Probably
we shall all know more about it when
Kent is brought back.

Return of the Coxeyites.

ASIA
Col. Vinette of General Fry's division
of the great army of the commonweal,
held forth in the vacant square adjoin-
ing the Sheridan house Friday. The
colonel is on the stump for the populists,
and for some time last night he adj
dressed a rather limited audience on
the subjects which are peculiar to pop
speakers. He gave an outline Of the
doings and experiences which had been
undergone by the Industrial army, their
march to Washington, their rather
troublous experiences in Virginia, and
other like topics. Part of his speech
was that Of the typical calamityite, the
usual howl that the country has gone to
the demnition bow-wows, that the pluto
Gratis are crushing out labor with an iron
heel, andthat everything has gone to the
devil, with only the populists between
US land everlasting destruction. The
colonel is not, at best,a success as an
orator. His audience last night was not
enthusiastic, and not many populist
votes were made by his efforts.
General Standish was on hand at the

and democrats On the money question

the republicans and democrats, from the
editor of the newspaper to the Judge on
the bench, knew no more about the
money question that SO many school
boys. The general said he wouldn't de-
tain the audience last night, but at some
future time he would address 'em, and
tell them all about current topics. The
meeting adjourned, after several songs
by Colonel Vlnette, and there was not
a very brilliant glow of enthusiasm
over the efforts to the colonel and the
general.

day, and gives the only satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the dense smoke which
hes rested as a. cloud about the city for

says that extensive forest fires have been
raging there for a week. The resultant
smoke is dense, and it's trail down the
country can be plainly distinguished.
Deer and other wild animals can be seer

best, the supply will not hold out but a
short time more. Some consumers are
forced to get a supply from Mandan,
owing to the scarcity here, and have it

the increased favor which the use of it
has met with, and increase their supply
accordingly.

IS CAPTURED At LAST.

Charge of Murder.
Captain Rich of the 500 Road, Looks

Items of News,
Kent Caught at Last.

MANDAN, Sept. 3-Myron r. Kent
charged with the murder of his wife neal
Mandan last March is now under arrest
at Denver, and is being brought to Man
dan by the sheriff of this county. His
accomplish Tom Swidensky is in jail
here. Evidence to prove the crime con-
clusively against both of them has been
obtained.
The news of the capture of Myron r.
Kent by Sheriff B%ingenhimer of Morton
county will be received with relief and
satisfaction by the people of Mandan.
in whose midst, if what is alleged can be
proven, occurred n of the most delib-
crate, shocking and cold blooded
murders which was ever recorded in the
annals of crime. To the people of Bis
marck, the details of the tragedy are
familiar, and their interest in the case has
been second only to that of the &C m
ity in which the murder was committed.
Briefly summarized, the details of the
crime for which Kent has been arrested,
are as follows: Early in March last,
Kent disappeared from his home in
Mandan, ostensibly to make a business
trip east. A day or so later, and what was
at first supposed to be an accidental shoot
ing occurred at the Kent residence, in
which the head of Mrs. Kent was blown
off by a charge of shot from a shot gun
in the hands of the hired man. It was
claimed to be accidental, but suspicion
arose out of the continued absence of
Kent, and his careful concealing of his
whereabouts. Evidences of former
criminality in his past came to light.
Other mysterious, inexplainable and al
together suspicious circumstances we're
developed. A reward was offered for
Kent, who was once captured but es-
capped. Then came the rumor of the
confession of the hired man, that Kent
has connived with him at the murder of
his wife, and now the final capture of
Kent. It is said evidence of sufficient

will be awaited with interest.
