known. Entrance wal effected by means
of a rear window. A railroad spike was
used to break a hole in a pane of glass
large enough to admit the hand to un-
fasten the sash. Turney tried to dispose
of the cutlery here and was caught.
Mrs. A. E. Grady, mother of w. s..
Grady, who died recently at Fort Ber-
thold, has arrived home at Atlanta with
the remains of her son. Mrs. Grady is
now alone in the world, having outlived
both her sons, Henry w. Grady, who
died some years ago, and the one whose
death from paralysis occurred last Sun
day.
Elijah Boley, of Mandan, has pur-
chased the trotting stallion, Gold Ore,
from A. Greasy, and has taken him
over to Mapdan. Gold Ore is one of the
fastest horses in the county, and
was brought here by George Kline som
five or SIX years ago. He is a horse of
good breeding, style and action, and a
desirable purchase.
Major General Henry C~apehart of
Fargo, died Monday morning. of heart
failure. The deceased was an officer in
the war of the rebellion, and for 40 years
a practicing physician. He was 70 years
of age at the time of his death. One of
his children was Alex S. Capehart, for
merly private secretary to Gov. Burke,
who is o in Europe with his family.
The four additional cases against the
Mandan persons have been dropped. Out
of the first five cases tried, only n con-
viction was secured-that of Heath, and
in addition to this was the case of Smith,
the leader, who was tried at Grand Forks.
These cases will have a salutary effect,
and it is not probable that any of the per-
sons accused will be likely to mixed up
with trouble of the kind again.
Attorney General Cowan has rendered
an opinion that all laws and the new code
go into effect July 1, and that chapter 8,
laws of 1889, is still in effect, no later laws
repeating it by implication or otherwise.
The 1889 law reads as follows: "That all
laws hereafter. enacted by the legislative
assembly of Dakota, unless otherwise ex-
pressly provided therein, shall be in force
and take effect Oh the first day of July
after their passage and approval"
Villers, the LaMoure county criminal,
recently sent to the pen, is progressing
fairly we'll, although his health is by no
means of the best. Villers is quite an
old man, and mental troubles prey upon
him to as great an extent nearly as
physical ones. He seems a prey to nerv-
ous apprehension the greater part of the
time, and requires considerable attention
from DR.. Harcourt, the penitentiary
physician.
The year 1895 will be a remarkable
one, from an astronomical and religious
point of view. Friday-Good Fri
day, April IL, the heavenly bodies which
gravitate around the sur we're in exactly
the same position that they occupied in
the armament on the day Christ died on
the cross. It is the first time such a
thing has occurred since this day 1862
years ago. This was the thirty third
year of the Christian era, which dates
from the birth Of Christ.
Considerable stock is constantly going
eastward over the road to market. The
good prices are tempting the atockmen to
frequent shipments. There is an average
of four cars OF stock picked up and
shipped east each day on this division.
The stock is mostly cattle, although hogs
and sheep are frequently shipped. Young
cattle are being sent west, and the dis
patchers sometimes find it difficult to get
stock cars to fill orders.
The members of James B. Mcpherson
post, G. A. r., are beginning to discuss
Memorial day services. Commander
Lawler's order has been received by the
! post, and his suggestions will be follow
ed. No arrangements for a speaker have
been made, but this will be looked after
in due time. Last year was held one of
the best attended services ever had
here, and this year will rival 1t in i'm
p~ressiveness and attendance.
There are some pretty old timers
among the colored regulars who are
down to testify in the McElroy case.
One Of them, Sergeant Shropshire of the
Tenth cavalry, has been in the regular
service for %thirty-one years, and could
have been retired a year ago, on 1913 a
month, but prefers to stick to the ser.
vice. He is still a young looking man,
having joined the service when quite a
youngster and served through the last
two years of the civil war.
