. BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, MAY 4 1894

upon the similarity between the two, a
warrant of arrest was based.
Mr.. Streeter was the first witness
sworn last night. He testified to the re-
ceipt Of the letter through the office, and
the date.
Postmaster Yeater was sworn, and
testified that the letter had passed
through his Office. He had noticed it
particularly because it was a drop letter,
one of the very few of that kind which
had passed through his Office.
Mrs. Yeater was sworn. She testified
to having seen the defendant write in an
autograph album, a month or so before.
Was shown the letter and envelope in
question and said she believed it the
same handwriting.
Mr.. Thurber vas sworn. Had seen
the handwriting of the defendant, and
had had some Of it in his possession.
Believed the letter and envelope in ques-
ton to be her writing.
Mr.. Waldrof was sworn. Had seen
defendants handwriting, but could not
identify the letter as hers.
Mrs. Streeter testified. Had seen the
handwriting Of defendant. Had had it
in her possession and compared 1t with
the letter. Said she believed it was the
same writing. A popularity of spelling
the word "Williamsport," making two
words Of it, thus, "William Sport" was
identical in the several bits of Mrs.
Dixon's acknowledged handwriting and
the letter. This and other peculiarities
convinced her that Mrs. Dixon had writ
ten the letter.
The defendant testified she had not
written the letter. She knew nothing
about it. Had no motive to write it, as
there was no persons in the country, she
said, that she thought more Of than Mr..
and Mrs. Streeter.
The case vas adjourned until this
evening, and Attorney Stoyell, for the
defense, promises some interesting de.

The democratic central committee
from reports-are a little weary Of the
fact that republicans are still holding
the Fargo and Grand Forks p~ostofices
and at their meeting yesterday it was
decided to make a determined move to
wrest these positions from their holders.
Another move IN the same direction
that of wrestling employment from the
great body Of American workingmen-
was made, when the committee passed
a resolution, urging the speedy passage
of the Wilson bill.

ALTHOUGH the season is a little back
ward, to-day's crop bulletin reports a
favorable condition all through the
state. Seeding has been rushed the
past week, and much OF the wheat has
come up and is growing finely. There
has been a considerable excess of pre-:
cipitation, and the soil is in better shape
than it has been for years. Altogether,
crop correspondents report an encourag-
ing condition, with prospects for a good
harvest next fall.

RECENT census returns show that
wealth is 0 equally distributed in the
agricultural than in the manufacturing
states. For example, among the agri-
cultural states the highest is North
Dakota, where the average per person is
S1,844, and the lowest Missouri, where
the average is 1896, while in the New
England states the highest is Rhode
Island, S1,450, and the lowest Maine,
$40. Leaving out of consideration the
mining regions, the most rapid growth
in wealth has been shown in the Dakotas.

The United States supreme court has
decided the famous North Dakota tax
case, known as the Northern Pacific vs..
Clark. The decision was against the
road. The point involved was whether
the company was not excused from pay
ing taxes on it's lands by reason of hav-
ing accepted the gross earnings tax.
Justice Jackson, speaking for the court,
held that it had not complied with the
law, in that it had not paid half the tax
due the state before August Is, 1889.
The death of Claude Dieter of Crys-
tai, was a sad one. He was returning
from the mountains west of Crystal in a
sleigh. The harness got caught in some
manner and two of the boys got out to
fix it. In the rear of the wagon, under
a mattress, was a shot gun. The de-
ceased wa pulling it toward him, when
the trigger get caught in the mattress
and it was discharged, the charge en-
tering his head and face. He lived but
80 minutes, but showed no signs of con-
seriousness.

Pleasant Re-Union,

There was a pleasant and thoroughly
informal reunion of q number of the
pioneers OF the women Of the city at the
home Of Sheriff and Mrs. Donnelly last
Monday. It was a thoroughly pleasant
occasion, as such reunions always are.
There is a sort of bond of union exist
ing between each two OF Bismarck's
earlier settlers of the ladies, and it is
pleasant for them to meet, and talk over
old times, and Of those former friends
who have moved away, and of the some
who have answered the call across the
dark river. This was done last night,
and made the occasion enjoyable to
everyone present. And aside from the
pleasant exchange of r%ecollections and
"reminiscences, there was a substantial
luncheon served by the pleasant hostess,
which added to the completeness Of the
occasion.
There were present MI. and Mrs. J.
D. Wakeman, and daughter Edith; Mrs.
Plants, and daughter; Mrs. Henry
Suttle, Mrs. Dan Williams, Mrs. Bailey,
Mrs. T. P. Davis, Mrs. John P. Dunn,
Mrs. g. e. Williams, and daughter
Anna, and Mrs. Eppinger.
The Dixon Case.
The hearing in the case of the United
States VS.. Mary Dixon, who is charged
with having mailed an obscene letter at
the Williamsport postofice on February
9th, last, was heard before Court Com
missioner Hoskins last Tuesday. About
the gist of the matter is that on the date
mentioned, Editor Streeter of the EN-
mon County Record received an anony-
nous drop letter at the aforesaid Office.
The epistle in question is a vile one,
Astounding in filthy o%bscenities After
the receipt of the letter, the matter was
laid before the United States authorities.
A pronounced popularity of the hand
writing, and Of the spelling Of the letter
in question afforded a suspicion as to
who was the writer, and a comparison Of
it with some Of the handwriting Of Mrs.
Dixon, which was in the possession Of
Mr.. Streeter, led to the belief that she
was the writer. To strengthen this sus-
picion, a letter was secured from Mrs.
Dixon to Mrs. Streeter by strategy, and
