North Dakota Settlers.


GRAND FORKS. N D.. December A
large number of indictments have been
found against Russian farmers from FIN
mons county fer stealing and carrying off
government buildings at Fort Lincoln, five
miles south Of Mandan.
The depredations, according to Maj. w.
c. Gooding, the government representa-
some time. Russian settlers in that vicin-
ity have been engaged In theving lumber
and out5uildings for some time, making
their visits mostly during the night. and
all efforts to catch them have failed. Dur
ing the past few weeks, however. they
have grown holder and on Saturday a
small army, numbering over one hundred,
put in an appearance with forty-five teams
to clean every inch Of lumber from the
SPOT.
Maj. Gooding. who has charge of the
fort, protested, but the hoodunls drove
him away with bricks and stones and con-
tinued to demoliSh the building. Even the
old Custer house. which the people of the
slope have endeavored to preserve, was not
spared, but ruthlessly torn to pieces.

marck and three were brought here as
witnesses before the grand jury.

ANDREWS ON THE RACK.
Street Clearing Commissioner Before
the LeXow Committee.

the Lexow Committee.
NEW YORK, December 4.-Before the
Lcxow senatorial committee, investigating
the police department. Mr.. Andrews. COM
missioner OF street cleaning. today entered
a general denial Of the charge OF bribery
while an excise commissioner, brought by a
witness named Tomlnson. Commissioner
Andrews attributed Tomlinson's accusation
to spite, because he (the witness) had re-
fused to indorse Tomlinson's application for
a place in the city government and in the
post Office.
August Lewis was called to the stand
and contradicted Andrews statements as
to the granting of the saloon license to
him.
Then Andrews was recalled and stated
that he was not positive about the man,
but that man claiming to be Lewis had
appeared before the board and the license
had been granted to him.
Mr.. Golf pressed Andrews for eXplana-
ton of why license should have been re-
fused one person and granted another, or
to the representative of the first to con-
duct a saloon upon the same premises.
There were several animated passages
between counsel and witness. Andrews
evidence was no. concluded when the COM
mittee took q recess.
Former Assistant District Attorney Fran
els l.. Welman was today summoned to
appear before the Lexow investigating
committee as a witness.

REPRESENTATIVES, RILEY
Thinks Their VIII BE Little Chance
for Anything but Routine business.

Representative Riley Of Pennsylvania
says that he does not think that there will
be very much chance to do anything more
than routine business during this session
of Congress, But that the Pacific railroads
committee of which he is chairman, will
probably make an effort to pass the Pacific
railroad funding bill, which was reported
by the committee at the last session. They
will ask for two days for. the consideration
of the subject if the House committee on
rules is disposed to grant them the time.
What may be- accomplished he cannot say
at this time. D.
Speaking of Mr.. Carlisle's financial plan,
he said that he had not had chance to
see the Secfetarys report giving the plan
more in detail than was outlined in the
Presidents message; that from the sum-
mary of the report he not inclined to
favor it, 1t looked at first glance as If
there was too much of the wildcat banking.
But however, he was of that opinion until
he had studied it as laid down by Carlisle.
In a general way he would be opposed to
any plan of conflict which would not DE
entirely NATIONAL.

RumOrs That More Serious Charges
VIII Follow the Civil Suits Against
Them.
The officers OF the Fidelity and the Co.
lumbia Building and Loan Associations,
who are the same in both companies, did
not care to speak today of the cases
brought against the Columbia Association
yesterday by stockholders residing In
Montgomery county. who made charges of
fraud. and asked for the appointment OF
a receiver for the concern.
Mr.. James. the supervisor, said the
charges would be sufficiently replied to in
the answer to be filed by the attorneys Of
the company to the bill of complaint
While nothing definite can be learned at
the offices OF the company, IL Is, neverthe-
less. we'll known that a large number of
persons who have subscribed to the shares
and paid the weekly dues regularly since
their subscription began have made re-
quests for Withdrawals. on the basis es-
tablished by the association, which pro-
yideS for a return or one-half the money
subscribed, after subscriber had paid his
dues for period of two years. To such as
are entitled to withdrawal on the two
year plan the information is extended that
the request will be considered and acted
upon at the next meeting of the board of
directors, but those who have not been in
the company for two years are referred to
the clause in the contract which prohibits
withdrawal within such period.
Several of the shareholders who are In
this predicament are alleged to be con-
sidering the propriety of swearing out
warrants against the officers OF the FL
deity Company and its successor, the Co.
lumbia, for obtaining money under false
pretenses. These persons are said to be
men and women who subscribed to shares
upon the representation of the agents of
the company that they would be enabled
10 negotiate loans from the association
after having paid their dues for six
months. and who found such representa-
tons false when they desired the asso-
citation to carry them out. They were thus,
they claim, unable to get lean and
unable also TO draw out the money
they had been induced to invest, and II Is
understood that proceedings on the crimi-
nal side OF the court are liable to be shortly
commenced. The parties who said to
lie considering the course indicated are all
residents Of Washington.

fall Of 1891. He never had been there be-
fore and never since. He never remained
there over night, and never saw the col
ored girl, Fannie Marshall, there.
The nth of July, 1893, he called upon
Mrs. Gordon. continued Mr.. Lester. she
having requested him to call for the pur
pose Of drawing up her will. She was at
that time In a delicate condition, a con-
dtion apparent to everyone, and desired
to make her will because of her fears He
called about $50 in the evening and re-
manned for some time While there the
Misses Richardson came. Four days later
he called with the will.
An Emphatic Denial.
Being asked the direct question. Mr. Les
ter emphatically denied having ever had
improper relations with Mrs. Gordon, and
stated that their relations had always
been OF the most proper character.
An Alleged Proposition.
Mr. Lester then went on to state the
steps taken in the suit for divorce insti-
tuted by Mr.. Gordon, and said that a
Mr. Emig, Mr.. Gordon's attorney had call
ed, proposed that Mrs. Gordon should take
a divorce on the ground of cruelty, with
drawing the charge made by Mrs: Gordon
Of adultery on the part of her husband.
The proposition he refused, said Mr.. Les
ter. even after Mr. Emig had suggested
that there would be fee of $500 in it.
Subsequently Mr.. Gordon called and made
the propositions testified to by Gen. Bir-
ney, which were refused.
Later said Mr. Lester, he wrote to Mr.
GIdon, telling him that he would have
rothing to do with his proposition, and
thu he could not be entrapped, despite his
threats, into any arrangement prejudicial
to the interests of Mrs. Gordon.
This completed the testimony in direct of
Mr.. Lester. and his cross-examnation was
commenced by Mr. French.
