Wilkinson Surprised.

ton that the men had struck on the Great

Trainmen. About April /, after confer

was referred to the men on the system
for acceptance or rejection. So far as the
trainmen are concerned. il was their duty
to notify Mr.. Wilkinson as soon as the
voting was concluded of the result. Then,
on his approval a strike could be ordered.
Tonight he says that he received no in
formation as TO the result of the vote and
he has not given his consent TO the strike.
This disregard of his authority is in direct
opposition to their constitution and ex-
ciudes those taking part from further men,
bership in and help from the brotherhood.
Wilkinson blames "the ambitious officers
of the American Railway Union" for this
premature movement. First Vice Grand
Master Morrissey left for St. Paul tonight

THE STRIKE STILL ON
No Trains Moving on Part of the
Northern Pacific Road.
Statement from Officers of the Com
pany-EmplOyes of Another Di-
vision Decide to Quit.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 1.-THE Great
Northern strike is still on and TO move
ment has been made by either side for an
adjustment of the differences which caused
IL. 1t is generally conceded that the tele-
graphic reports from the West regarding
the nature and size of the strike are ex-
aggerated. The reason why so little infor-
nation can be received from the seat of
war is because the operators of the Great
Northern wires are the only operators in
that section of the country. The operators
and the trainmen can only be said to be
voluntarily strike. All that is known to
the company regarding the strike and
the sentiments the company entertains re-
garding it are embodied in the following
bulletin issued this afternoon:
ION the Montana & Kalispell divisions
of the Great Northern railway and on the
Montana Central railway, all trains have
been abandoned by reason of a number
of the men quitting work, the only notice
being received a few hours before such
abandonment from a person who is not
and never has been in the companys en-
ploy, and without any complaint notice
from the men. The main reason given to
the company for this action is a claim and
report widely circulated by interested per-
sons that all employees on those lines are
to be replaced by strange men from the
East. This report is, and was, entirely UNI
true and is made for the purpose of in
timidation and misrepresenting the COM
parry to the men. 1t is the expectation and
the wish of the company that all employees
will continue in the faithful discharge of
their respective duties and the company
will say that in all matters of wages, pro-
motion, etc. such faithful service will be
first considered. both as to rates of pay
and line of promotion. The company is at
all times ready TO consider any complaint
made by the men in it's employ"
a Grand Forks, n. D., special says:
After a very enthusiastic and animated
meeting of the local branch of the Ameri-
can Railway Union, tonight, 1t was de-
cided by unanimous vote that the employees

One day, at the dinner table of .
grand duke, the French ambassador ex-
tolled the dexterity Of his fellow coun-
trymen, as exemplified, among other
things, in the cleverness of the Paris
pickpockets.
II should not woNaar ii the st. Pc

the features Of the ambassador he added,
will you bet that, before we rise from

valuable will not he taken from your
person.
The ambassador accepted the wager
for the fun Of the thing. and the grand
duke telephoned to the chief constable
asking him to send at once the cleverest
pickpocket he could lay his hands ON.
The latter was to receive the full value
of every article he managed to annex
and be allowed to 60 unpunished.
The man came and was put into liv.

the other servants. The grand duke told
him to give him sign as soon as he
had accomplished the trick. But he
had to wait a long time, for the embas-
sador, whose watch was the article to
be experimental upon, always kept on
the alert, and even held his hand to his
fob when conversing with the most dis
tinguished guests at the table At last
the grand duke received the preconcert-
ed signal. He at once requested the EN-.

The Death Of One Of the Last Of . Once
Powerful Indian Family.
Mrs. Jesse Richards, . Miami In
dian, daughter Of Wa-ca-co-n nah, one Of
the most conspicuous members Of the
tribe. died Thursday night in q miser-
able hovel on the Indian reservation in
the southern part Of this county, near
Somerset She was the last surviving
member Of the Wa-ca-co-nah family, in
duential in the Miami tribe back in the
seventies
Wa-ca-co-nah, who was nearly 80
when he died, was Of q religious turn.
and Is he was quite wealthy, having
received large grants Of land from the
government, he built . church at his
own expense. conducting services him
self for the benefit Of the Miamis and
the poor whites" who hover about the
Indian land. Some time before his death
the old man contracted debts and lost
much Of his property. His six children,
each of whom received 100 acres of
land from the government, attained
their majority and took their real estate
into their own hands, squandering it
for gaudy clothing and articles for which
they had no use and buying liquor in
wholesale quantities In 1880 Wa-ca-
conan piled ON the last straw when he
undertook to build gravel road from
Treaty station to his farm, four miles
distant. The project was failure, and
the land, heavily mortgaged to Wabash
capitalists, was sold, and the old brave
died in 1881 Of q broken heart. One by
one the six children had mortgaged their
farms to Wabash business men. who
had sold them goods readily as long as
their land was unencumbered, and who
at each annual settlement secured the
bills by taking q lien ON the fertile
farms.
