After the M~arauders.
Deputy Marshals Hennessey and Han
nah, who are making the arrests in the
cases against the marauders at Fort Lin
coin, were over from Mandan last night,
returning on this mornings train. So
far twenty arrests have been made. Six
Of the men were taken to Grand Forks a
day or two ago by Marshal Cronan, and
fourteen more are in custody at Mandan,
and will be sent down as soon as an
escort shall be sent after them. The ar
rest of the men wanted entails consider
able overland travel, as the majority Of
them live along the Little Hart river,
and in the n~eighborhood of Riverside
ranch, fifteen or twenty miles south Of
Mandan. The marshals will remain at
Mandan, however, until all of the arrests
are made and the men secured.
Marshal Hennessey says that at SOM
of the farm houses at which they stopped
yesterday, whole barns and outbuildings
we're constructed out of the Fort Lincoln
lumber. The marauding has been going
on by wholesale, and all kinds of port
able property, doors, windows, and even
stair cases and like house fittings, have
been carried off bodily. The action
which Is now being taken by the United
States court, however, will tend to
dampen the ardor of the rustlers, and
will guarantee Fort Lincoln a temporary
immunity from their visits.
State Appropriations.
The secretary of the treasury, in his
annual report to the president, estimates
that for the fiscal year, ending June 80,
1896, an appropriation of $4,000 will be
required for fulfilling treaties with the
Fort Berthold Indians, and S1,423,2 200 for
fulfilling treaties with the Sioux tribes
in North Dakota and Minnesota. For
the support of the Turtle Mountain In
dians he thinks $4,000 will do, while
the Sioux at Devils Lake will want $4,000
and $44,5D additional for the support
of their schools. For the continuance of
waterway improvements in the Red river
and in Minnesota and North Dakota, he
estimates $4,000 will be required.
will Do Nothing.
Northing probably will ever come of
the effort made by the North Dakota
railroad commissioners to reduce the
rates of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern on ligcite coal in that state,
says the st. Paul Globe. The commits
sion, when in the city last Monday, had
a conference with Counsel Mitchell, of
the Northern Pacific, in reference to
these rates, and they expressed the
opinion that the railroad rates on short
hauls we're reasonable enough. Should
the commission desire to push the mat
ter they could do little, as this is the
last month of their Official existence.
Dire Calamity.
The governor Friday received, another
communication from Benjamin F. Hun
ter, of Washington, D. c., the prophet
who speaks the word of the Creator, as
1t is revealed to him. Mr.. Hunter grows
more calamitous in his predictions as
time rolls by, and today he prophesies
destruction and disaster, as follows:
NO MERCY HERE! @
To the Governor Of Dakota Territory:
You are Informed that among the many
cities which shall be smitten with a ter
rible calamity and destroyed inside of two
years from this very day, is the one in
which you now live, known as Bismarck.
Every house shall be torn down level with
the ground, n all the inhabitants thereof
shall be scattered so hat no two of them
shall be together. 1t is the Office of the
Prophet, who also is a NaZarite unto God,
to tell the people what God is going to do
them for their past w~ickedness. But under
no circumstances is he allowed to tell
when. Thus, says the Lord, the wicked
shall all fall at once. Amen.
The prediction is a very disheartening
one, now that We have just gotten the
capitol addition completed, and about
the only thing left to do is to move to
Apple creek and let 'er go, Gallagher.
To Change Their Quarters.
Governor-elect Allin has concluded
that the old executive room was too far
in the rear Of the new wing to suit and
be suitable, SO the handsome offices in
tended for the new superintendent of
public instruction have been designated
for the governor. Miss Bates is to have
Secretary Dahl's old quarters-very COM
modious-and the latter goes into the
new part. The officials who get into the
new portion will have elegant surround
ings-snbstantial and we'll designed.
Those Land Tax Cases.
The United States court was occupied
Tuesday with arguments on the new
Northern Pacific tax case. On Saturday
last, General Consul Mcknight and At.
torney F. M. Dudley, Of the Northern
Pacific road, appeared before Judge
Thomas for an order to restrain the
sale Of Northern Pacific lands in Suits.
