The North Dakota supreme court hal
just decided an interesting case oi
gambling or dealing in wheat options
A prominent lawyer OF that state who
was recently candidate tor nomination
on the state ticket, in 1885 sent con.
slgnment OF actual wheat to a Duluth
commission firm to be sold. Soon after
he wired the firm to purchase him 10000
bushels of May wheat, and thus con-
t'nued to buy and sell options through
the commission until the following june
when he was closed out for failure 10
pay his margins. The commission firm
then sued him for $500 which they
alleged he owed them as result of the
transaction. The latter admitted the
transactions but averred they were in
the nature Of gambling deals and denied
he owed the firm anything while on the
other hand he sued the firm for s11oOO
money paid them from time TO time.
The lower court set aside both claims a.
uncollectible because acquired in gamb-
ing operations and the supreme court
has sustained the decision.

STABBED WITH SCISSORS.
DICK GREEN STABBED BY A NEGRO
 GIRL.
Greens Wounds wIli Likely Prove Fatal.
 Tine Girl Has Fled.

A peculiar case whichiaay result in a murder has just come to light, which is unique in many of it's phases.
 few days ago negro man and woman were quarreling in the yard of one of the negro cabins in what is known as ''nigger town" or Green vile. On the next day the quarrel was renewed, " hen another old negro man named Richard Green came along and eounseled peace be tween the two parties to the contro- versy Almost simultaneously negro girl aged about 16 years and named Laura Thomas, who was sitting near by, jumped up and run down to where all three parties were stand ing and said, What has old Dick Green got te dc with it?" As she said the words she plunged q pair oi scissors into the old mans back, which entered the right lung and left wounds which will probably prove fatal, as the old man is not expected i to recover.
 Another strange feature of the ease is that the negro girl was arrested and taken before Magistrate in Washington township, by whom she was released on q nominal bond As soon as it became probable that the old mans wounds would prove fatal Laura Thomas skipped out and her whereabouts are unknown.
 Here is ease for the officers to in yestigate.

Mr F. W. Martin, manager of the l 0pera-house, returned this morning from New York where he has been making arrangements for attrae- tions to play here hecoming season. 1 To a GRAPHIC reporter Mir. Martin said: "Theatrical business, like that of all other branches, is dull, but players and managers of repute are beginning to realize that first-class work pays in the South and west. The theory that second companies only need be sent to this country is thoroughly antiquated The only drawback to the South in regard to having all that the country affords in dramatic and musical line, is the distance between the cities.
 What seems to be the most popn- lar form of amusement?" asked the reporter.
 "The situation is very much the same as it was last season. Farce comedy is all the rage. Of course serious and legitimate work is ap- preciated and patronized, but by a different element
 What have you done fol. the Pine Bluff Opera-house?'

A HEAD-END COLLISION. TWO REPORTS OF THE ACCIDENT.
A collision Between Two Frelghrs at Fisher on the Cotton Belt Results in Great Loss.-The Re
 port Denied.

Reports have reached here of a1lis- astrous collision between two freight trains on the Cotton Belt, near Fisher, a station about thirty miles south of Jonesboro, on last Thurs dap night at about o'clock.
 According to the report of some of the employees Of the road the two trains cellided running at a rapid rate of speed and two engines were totally demolished and about eighteen ears destroyed by fire.
 This report, however, is denied by the railroad officials here. proni- nent official of the Cotton Belt said to the reporter for the GRAPHIC this morning that it was true that the engines had eollided, but that not a car Jeff the track and that only the -catehers of the locomotives were smashed. He also says that that was the regular meeting place of the two trains, and that one train had simply run too high up on the switch.
 A railroad employe says, however. that the two engines were so badly locked that they could not be sep arated by q locomotive.
 From these conflicting reports 1t Is impossible for the GRAPHIC to give the public a correct version of the ac- cident.
