Evidence Against McElroy.


It is said the government authorities
are collecting evidence for the grand
jury in the case against Henry EcElroy,
the Fort Buford private charged with
the murder of Shafer, the post tailor, and
who is confined in jail here awaiting
trial.
It is claimed chat positive evidence
will show that McElroy himself made
statements while under the influence of
liquor that are in themselves very dam.
aging to his case. One private is ready
to testify that McElroy said in his pres.
ence that he was implicated in the MUIR
ner, and afterwards made his statement
stronger by claiming to have done the
killing. Another private will testify that
McElroy told him a short time before
that he intended to kill the tailor.
The bartender says that McElroy and
a companion we're in the saloon with
Schafer on the night before the murder,
up till 8 o'clock, and that McElroy was
broke. The next morning he came in
with $3.50 and treated the entire crowd.
McElroy claims that the evidence is the
result of mere spitework.

Major William H. Langley, one of the
leading millionaires of Brooklyn, refused
to pay a tax on personal property the
other day on the ground of his being a
resident of Fargo. An Investigation led
to the discovery that he had secured a
divorce from his wife, Marie Belle Lang
ley, in July last. The divorce has been
kept a secret, not even the %millionaire's
most intimate friends knowing of it.
The disclosure has created a decided
sensation at Fargo. Major Langley came
to Fargo a little more than a year ago.
and bought a livery stable. He ostensi-
bly, run the stable for profit, but inciden-
tally drove fast horses and had a good

vorce, but SO little was known of him or
his wife that the divorce was hardly

The following from the Crary Courier
breaks the record for wolf stories:
On Monday three men were engaged in
cutting wood neal the Cheyenne river,
south Of the Fort Totten reservation, when
they were attacked by wolves. Two of the
men became frightened and at once climbed
a tree. The other man stood his ground
and made a desperate fight, but was over
powered and eaten up. while his comrades
looked On from their perch in the tree. The
wolves would not leave for some time and
the two men had to remain in the tree all
night, nearly freezing to death. The names
of the parties have not yet been learned.
1t is said that there were only three wolves
IN the pack, M If such is the case it seems
that it ought to have been the men who
climbed the tree that should have been eaten
instead of the man that was left to fight
the battle alone.
Discharged.
