Anent Chief Gall.

In the West Superior Evening Tele-
gram of a day or so ago, is a good like
ness of Chief Gall, and an interesting
interview with D. F. Barry, the former
we'll known photographer here. Mr..
Barry says:
1t was Gall and Crazy Horse who COM
manded the Indians who took part in the
Custer massacre. Many people who have
read Of that dreadful affair have somehow
obtained the idea that Sitting Bull was the
leader Of the redmen. He was simply a
medicine man, and in recent years, before
his death at the hands Of the Indian police,
came before the American people more
than any other Indian, and his prominence
is due in a great measure to that fact. To
show you how Gall inspired admiration, I
will read to you from a letter 1 have from
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Custer, widow of Gen.
Custer, written since the MASSACRE: "Pain-
full as it is to me to look upon the pictured
face of an Indian, I never in my life dream
ed there could be, in all the tribes, as fine
a specimen of a warrior as Gall" That is
a telling tribute to Gall, coming, as it does,
from Mrs. Custer. Patti was also a great
admlrer of Gall.
On June Is. 1886, it was my good fortune
to visit the Custer battlefield, along with
the Reno survivors. At this invitation,
Chief Gall accompanied them, to point ont
and tell, for the benefit of future genera
tions, as many facts as possible concerning
that most memorable of battles in Indian
warfare. Gall was moody and silent, and as
he walked over the battlefield so familiar
to him, he seemed oppressed. If he felt
any emotion, he did not show it by words,
however. There was II point on the
field where he refused to 60, and his eyes

there were, all told, s114, HAAS. The

Ffxin, TIL inps.

Fargo Argus: The most noticeable
improvement in Bismarck is in the cot
tages ard modern built houses, which
have been moved in the central portion
from the far away parts of the city. A
score or more of these have been placed
on available corners nearer the churches
and schools and on the streets leading
toward the capitol. Among the houses
moved are the Prospect Heights dwell
iings, the Lambert house and the row
of tenements out toward the peniten-
tiary. Some claim that fifty or more
have been moved or old ones rebuilt,
and a few new one have been erected.
Rents are very reasonable at Bis
marck. Seven or eight room cottages
rent from $40 to SIS per month, and
some even cheaper. Bismarck is we'll
supplied with hotels, the Sheridan, of
course, taking the lead. This is being
put in order and all Of the available
rooms in the city are being made ready
for the accommodation of solons, clerks
and visitors.

Cure for Headache,

AS a remedy for all forms of headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the
very best. It effects a permanent cure
and the most dreaded habitual sick
headaches yield to it's influence. We
urge all who are afflicted to procure a
bottle, and give this remedy a fair trial.
In cases of habitual constipation Elec-
trio Bitters cures by giving the needed
tone to the bowels, and few cases long
resist the use of this medicine. Try it
once. Large bottles only SO cents at
p. c. Remington's drug store.

In IL Again,

Young Gottlieb Huber, the i,repress-
ible youth whose bump of mischief is
developed beyond all reason, is in trou-
BILE again, after several months of good
behavior. He was brought down from
Painted Woods last night, charged with
larceny, and lodged in the county jail.
It seems that Gottlieb ran away from
home some time since and went to work
for Billy Brown, at Painted Woods, tell
ing him his (Gottlieb's) father and mother
we're dead, and that he was a stranger in
the county, wanting work. After a few
days. employment the young fellow ap.
propriated three watches, a revolver and
a horse from Browns place and made
off. He was captured, however, and
brought to the city last evening, and
Brown has made complaint against him
for grand larceny.

Through the Ice

A telegram received from Fort Yates
this morning announces an accident to
one Of Chas Kupitz's stages, in which the
team and stage, together with the United
States mail, went through the ice and
into the Missouri. It seems that the
stage was coming from Yates to Winona
last night, when the ice gave way, and
the stage and both horses, with the con-
tents, went to the bottom of the river.
Mr.. Kupitz and the driver had narrow
escape with their lives. The accident
war quite a serious one, and will entail
d considerable loss to Mr.. Kupitz.

and it is probable will not be settled.
Bottineau and Minot either one, will in

Stage Recovered.

Charles Kupitz received word yester-
day that the stage and contents which
went through the ice at Winona some
days ago, have been recovered, being To-
Gated some few feet below the place in
which they sank. This reduces Mr..
Kupitz' loss to almost nothing, as the
horses which we're lost we're not the
property of the stage line. In speaking
of the accident today, Mr.. Kupitz said
that the crossing had been deemed abso.
lutely safe, and that only a few hours
before the accident, teams had passed
over the ice with 5000 and 1000 pounds
of freight. The recovery Of the stage is
a gratifying piece of news, and nothing
but a temporary inconvenience has re-
suited from the accident.

Certainly.

Astory was told by one of the Russians
in Jail at Mandan who had two teams at
work hauling away the lumber, to the
effect that he had been engaged by a
rancher in the vicinity to haul the lum-
Der and place it on a car, for which he
was to receive 81 per load. He said for
every load he hauled to the car he
hauled three loads home, and as the
rancher thought he was getting it all,
he (the R~ussian) received $44 for his
work. He thought the Russians had as
much right to the lumber as Americans.

What the Vets Have Done.
The state veterinarians of North Da-
kota have made their regular annual
and in some cases bi-ennial--reports to
Governor Shortridge. I. Turcot, veteri-
marian of the first district, located at
Langdon, reports having killed twenty
seven horses, because of CHAMBERS, during
the past year. w. F. Crewe, veterinarian
of the second district, located at Devils
Lake, destroyed twenty.three horses be-
cause of the same disease, and Veterl-
marian Potter Of Ellendale-fourth dis
trict-killed ~twenty-four, the same mum.
Der that also did Veterinarian B. G. Tay-
lor of Hillsboro-third district. Veteri-
marian Moore of this district-the fifth

To Make a Report.

In the connection in which the
TRIBUNE spoke a day or SO ago, in an in
terview with DR.. r. II. Treacy, as to the
danger which might exist from black
leg and hog cholera, provided these ami
NAL diseases did not receive proper at
tention, it is reassuring to note that Gov.
Shortridge has authorized Or. Treacy to
prepare a report upon these diseases.
The report will be a complete presenta-
ton of the symptoms and causes of the
trouble, together with the proper
methods of treatment. The report will
be prepared by DIR. Treacy at once, and
will be printed and distributed among
the farmers in the districts at present in
fected, or which are liable to infection.
This action will tend to familiarize far
mers and owners of stock with the
proper treatment Of the trouble, and
will in all probability result in great
benefit to ranchmen and owners of stock.

The capitol addition stands completed
now, and the capitol building presents a
more substantial, complete and hand.
some appearance than it has since the
main structure was completed ten years
ago. Both externally and internally,
the great improvement is evident. The
exterior has not the apologetic, unfn-
ished appearance which has character
lied it all these years. And the interior
is heater, spacious and pleasanter
to the eye than before.
All of the work on the addition, both
exterior and interior, is done, and the
workmen have finished. Contractor
Sheckler and his force of men have re-
turned to st. Paul. Architect Hancock
has finished his part of the work, and
the new structure has been turned over
to the state.
In the main building, some of the
decorators are still at work in the halls,
and they are being rejuvenated and
freshened to a remarkable degree. And
when the state legislature meets next
month, some Of them may not be pre-
pared for the improvement, which is in
every way worthy of the expenditure of
the state, upon the completion of the
new wing.

be the photographs of the old settlers.
They also request each old settler to send
a biographical sketch Of himself, or her.
self, stating the time of arrival at Bis
marck, and describing the condition in
which they found the town and county
upon their arrival. This request is made
to every old settler, including those who
arrived on the first trains. These
sketches will be put in shape by the sec

stories are fiction, the wolf question is of
considerable local Importance to us says
the Inkster Tribune. A few days ago
Mrs. John Hariott went out on the
prairie to look after some young stock
and on her return home, was followed
by seven wolves. When she saw them
coming she ran with all her might. Sud
denly she stopped to see what they
would do. She started on again and
they again followed. The wolves fol-
lowed at just a certain distance behind
until she reached home. A few nights
after, they chased the dog right up to the
house and the dog was so frightened
that he moaned pitiously. On the same
night they caughta big dog belonging to
John Frederickson and they didn't leave
an inch of him. In the same neighbor-
hood they killed a 2-year-old calf and
had the calf about half eaten up when
discovered. The wolf is known as the
Buffalo wolf" and it is claimed by old
residents that it was due to the ravages
of these wolves that SO many young buf-
falo were destroyed in early days. The
hunt last Saturday was on a large scale
but the wolves must have got word Of
the hunt and kept out Of the way. Some
of our contemporaries seem to doubt our
talk about wolves, but people living
west Of Inkster are considerably
alarmed over the wolves.
