Detective Hoy has not been idle, and the
result Of his work proves that his prom
Use was not an idle one. Two days ago,
Sheriff Bingenheimer received a tele-
gram from Hoy, stating that Kent was in
Trenton, Neb., q little town of 100 in
habitants. The telegram stated that
Kent was living in little cottage a mile
or so out Of town, and was waiting for a
letter, and it requested Bingenheimer to
telegraph the sheriff there. This,
Sheriff Bingenheimer did, sending a de.
scription of Kent, and yesterday he re-
ceived a telegram from the sheriff, stat
ing that he had Kent in custody.
To-day, States Attorney Voss was in the
city, and secured a requisition for Kent,
and armed with this, Sheriff Bingen.

his man.
The capture Of Kent will be hailed
with satisfaction by Mandan people, who
are eager to clear up the mystery Of Mrs.
Kent's death, and Detective Hoy says, if
there was anything of foul play in the
death, the return of Kent to Mandan,
will very probably solve the mystery, as
it is thought the hired man, at whose
hands Mrs. Kent met her death, can be
made to confess, if there is anything to
be confessed.

have tried these pills you will gladly
recommend them to others, or take an
agency, and in this way we shall have a
large, well-paying demand created.
AS a special inducement for every
reader of this paper to try these pills
and take an agency at once, we will give
to each person who sends twenty-five
cents in cash or thirty cents in stamps,
for a box of System Pills, one of the fol-
lowing presents: A hansome gold

The present Sultan, Abdul Hamid
Khan H., is the most remarkable
sovereign of his dynasty. He is said to
be good, mild, generous and enlightened;
he joins to brilliant intellectual abilities,
lofty views and Il quick understanding,
etc.
However, I was MT much impressed
with his looks. He had q large, aquiline
nose and the skin seemed to be drawn
tight over his face, and he seemed to me
like y too much married Turk. I I'M
derstand, however, that he is not very
much in that line for q lurk-for a Sui
tan I mean. No one knows how many
wives he has, but from the best u
thority, I learn that the lowest estimate
is 200, and he has been married once
since my arrival, so that would make
POI at the present moment, and prob
ably more tomorrow. The present Sui
tan, when one of his wives gets a little
cranky or unmanageable, does not sew
her up in a sack with a big piece of
lead and throw her into the Bosphorus.
He has a better way now, and one that
does not shock the people Sc much. He
has built a very nice private insane hos
pital o the banks of the Bosphorus,
which will hold more women than the
North Dakota insane asylum. When he
has had enough of any of the ladies, or
they get a little too much for His Royal
Nibs. why he gives the grand wink to
the High Mogul and Chief Eunuch of the
Harem, and from that moment she is
insane, and goes to the ground palace
for treatment on the beautiful banks of
the Bosphorus, and is never seer again.
Tomorrow We take a trip to the Black
Sea, and Monday leave for Athens.
Some cholera here and I am afraid we
will be quarantined on our arrival in
Greece. I think I'll make a trip through
Spain before my return, but hope to be
home in May. Regards to all.

Fire,

There was a little blaze in the old
Thompson Coal and Wood Office, early
Saturday morning. About 4 o'clock, the
alarm sounded, and a few moments later
the fire boys were on hand, and battling
with the flames. Several persons we're
sleeping in the building when the fire
started, but all got out safely, one of
them, Merry, being somewhat scorched.
The fire seemed to start from the inside,
and it Quilted the building pretty we'll
before the flames were extinguished.
The building was the property of @. W.
Thompson. 1t was insured in the De-
Puy agency for a small amount.

The Dixon case was resumed before
Commissioner Hoskins last Wednesday.
The examination of witnesses did not
last long, but two being put upon the
stand for the defense. The first of these
was the defendant, who testified that it
had just come into her mind that Mr..
Thistlewaite had been at her house
either the last of January or the first Of
February, and had asked her to address
an envelope for him to Mr.. Streeter. He
said he had left his glasses at home, and
could not do it himself. She said she
had addressed the envelope as requested,
and given it to Thistlewaite, who had
put it in his pocket. Shown the envelope
in which the obscene letter had come,
said she thought that was the onelshe
addressed. She did not know what was
in the letter which had come in the
aforesaid envelope, and had not written
it.
The cross-examination did not bring
out any thing Jew. j. M. Tramel was
then put upon the stand. Said he had
known Thistlewaite for years, and had
seen him write, and had some of his
writing in his possession. Was shown
the letter in question, examined it, and
said IN his opinion it was not THISTLE
waite's handwriting. Produced some
specimens Of Th~lstlewaite's handwriting
two receipts and a chattel mortgage
which we're offered in evidence by the
defense. They did not bear much, if any
resemblance to the letter in question,
being written in a round, full hand,
while the letter is in a cramped and
shaky style of chirography.
This completed the examination of
witnesses, and Attorneys Camp and
Stoyell made their arguments. The
former argued the similarity in hand
writing between that acknowledged of
tbs defendant, and the letter. She ad-
mitted having addressed the envelope,
and he said that the letter and envelope
had evidently been written by the same
hand. Mr.. Stoyell argued lack of mo-
tive to write the letter. Mrs. Dixon was
not such a woman, and the fact of her
handwriting on the envelope was ex-
planned by the fact that she had been
induced to address the envelope by
Tnistlewaite, not knowing for what pur-
pose. At the close of the arguments,
Commissioner Hoskins bound the de.
PENDANT over in $500 to the United States
court, or her own recognizance.

Militia Matters,

Adjt. Gen. w. H. Topping and Col.
h. 5. Miller came in from the east this
morning, to consult with the governor
about matters appertaining to the state
militia. Encampment was one of the
matters discussed. The officers of the
state militia are still in doubt as to
where to hold the encampment. The
choice lies between Devils Lake and
jamestown, the former being talked of
because OF the proposed giving of a par
eel OF lane at that place to the militia
for an encampment ground, by the gov
eminent. The bill providing for this
has been introduced, but not yet acted
upon, and should it be passed in the
near future, the encampment will prob
ably go to Devils Lake-otherwise To
Jamestown.
There is no probability OF the militia's
being called out because of the recent
trouble, as Adjt. Gen. Topping says
everything is quiet in the Forks, the
troops have left, men have gone back to
work, and everything Is running as
usual.

Closed.


Camp Hancock has been closed by the
government, as a quartermaster depot,
and the duties of Quartermaster Geo. T.
Bedell have ceased. The closing has
been agitated for some time, and took ef-
feet actually May LIST. Formerly, gov
eminent supplies which were shipped to
Yates we're accounted and re-billed at
Camp Hancock. This practice, however,
ceased April LIST, all stores being shipped
on through bills of lading. The build
ings at Camp Hancock have been turned
over to the Agricultural department and
will very probably be used as offices for
the local weather bureau.
