old Bismarckers In Trouble.

Fargo Forum: Sheriff Barnes visited
two Of the alleged blind pigs of the
city about 4:30 yesterday afternoon, and
the result is that two doors are pad
locked, and the keys thereto repose in
the vaults at the sheriff's Office. The
first place visited was Jerry Delaney's
establishment, on Northern Pacific ave-
nue.. The room where it is claimed the
liquor is dispensed, is partitioned of
from the Bowers innie block, and an
arrangement with a string attachment
rum to the outer room, so that the
"evidence" q be dumped in case of an
emergency. Jerry was sitting at the
front door, and when the sheriff turned
in it was q race to see which would
reach the rear of the room first. Sheriff
Barnes tapped on the door, and the bar
tender slipped the bolt and opened it

The Kunkel Case.

The hearing of Martin Kunkel, the
s:ockman living north of Dawson, who
is charged with fencing in of govern.
ment land, came up before Commissioner
Hoskins Monday morning. Tracy Bangs
was present for the prosecution and r.
N. Stevens for the defense. Nafus, the
complaining witness gave testimony as
to the fence being built about the land
in question, and M. w. Hutchinson of
the land Office introduced a plat of the
land, and gave testimony q to which of
the land still belonged to the govern
ment.
This afternoon the case was continued.
Further testimony was given as to the
location of the fence in question, and as
to whose stock occupied the land which
it inclosed.
The prosecution finished the case
shortly after dinner, aud the defense put
on only one witness, Knnkel, who teeti-
fed that he owned no stock in North
Dakota. The case vas then put over
until 8 o'clock Monday evening, to which
time the court took a recess.
Kunkel, the defendant in the case, is
a quite old man, between 60 and 20 years
Of age, and this is the first time he has
been in any court in that time.

and through the east. He took in Bos-
ton, Narragansett, and points of interest
among the mountains, and afterwaro
visited New York and Brooklyn, passed
a week in Washington, several days in
Chicago and u day or two in St. Paul
and Minneapolis. That the trip was a
pleasant one goes without saying.
A Big Tree.
Burleigh county lays claim to having
within it's limits the largest tree in the
state, and will go hold until the contrary
is proven. The tree is situated just a
little to the right of the road as it enters
the timber on Sibley island, and is Of
the cottonwood variety. 1t was mea-
cured the other day by M. H. Jewell
and DR.. Porter, who we're taking q drive
through the locality, and was found to
be 215 inches, nearly 10 feet IN circum-
ference, or about six feet, in diameter.
There are many other trees in this
neighborhood which will run from three
to four feet, but this n ls the giant of
them all, and king of the forest there
abouts. As trees run in this state, it is
a whopper, and some arrangement
should be made whereby it be not cut
down by the careless axe of some irreve-
rent woodsman, who might be blind to
the appealing grandeur of the monarch
of the forest.
Better Time.
Trans from the west, which have been
several hours late each day of late, are
running or time again, a road having
been constructed over the tunnel which
ls on fire. The fire is still burning, and
there are no prospects OF getting it under
control within the next few days. The
company has abandoned the idea of
smothering the fire, and has unsealed
both ends. The fire is located in the
middle of the tunnel, and the smoke is
so dense that it is impossible to get at it.
An effort is now being made to force
water on the burning timbers. Just at
this time the accident is an unfortunate
n for the Northern Pacific, as business
is heavy, and it is awkward to get along
without the tunnel, the hill over it being
80 steep that it is difficult to haul cars
Over the new track.

mittees, and bills referred to the COM
mittee on claims.
Two matters of considerable import.
ance came up, one in relation to some
interest coupons, on bonds held by the
FIRST National bank, for collection of
interest. Treasurer Reade appeared be-
fore the council and explained the mat
ter. There is a controversy as to the
possession of the bonds, and Mr.. Reade
asked that the council investigate the
matter. Accordingly Aldermen Larson
and Robidou were appointed a committee
to act with the mayor, and look the mat.
ter up.
The report of the committee as to
taxes was also read, and adopted by the
council. According to it's provisions

N~eighborine Fires.

SOA6hOOIA INV C1Iobs
Emmons and Mclean counties suffer.
ed from bad prairie fires the past week.
The fire which ragged north of the city
last Sunday swept nothward, and j. M.
Pace, a we'll known character in the
locality, lost forty-fve tons of hay. In
another fire Col. W. E. Low lost 100 tons
of hay and a great part of his range.
VIM. Reuter- of Turtle Lake lost thirty
tons of hay in stack, and Alex Casper of
the same place, thirty-ive tons. Ole
Peterson between Turtle and Painted
Woods creeks. lost thirty tons of hay,
and Judge Peterson lost several stacks of
wheat, the product of fifteen acres, and a
good crop, which would have threshed
out at least thirty bushels to the acre.
In Emmons county a number of losses
occurred, but the greatest loss according
to the Record was that of Hans Hanson,
a young man who came out from Minne-
apolis about three years ago. His live
stock, besides his team not fully paid
for, consisted of two COWS, two calves
two pigs, and a lot of chickens. In fact
the family we're just getting to the point
where their COWS, their chickens and
their pigs would furnish a good share of
their food. The stable caught and
burned down, together with the hay
stack, the grarary, the two COWS, the
two calves. the two pigs and all If the
chickens but three. The worst OF it was
the children, the youngest a baby about
two years old, were greatly dependent
on the COWS for food. Two subscription
lists we're started, and one of the list
showed that $3.50, four sheep and two
pigs had been contributed and the other
solicitor, raised about S12, besides which
one neighbor had given a calf and an
other neighbor had come forward with
some sheep and CHICKENS.

A " estern Author.

Joseph II. Taylor, editor of the WASH
burn Leader, in the city Wednesday, ar
ranging for the binding of the second
edition Of his work on "Frontier and
Indisn Life" The work is a book of
nearly 800 pages, and embraces the per-
sonal reminiscences Of the author, of
scenes and incidents along the upper
Missouri river since 1870, giving accurate
accounts Of different tribes, and per-
eonal interviews had by the author with
some of the most noted Indian chief
tains. The book is from type set by the
author, who did the entire mechanical
part of the work, in addition to the
literary portion. A part of the edition
is now in the bindery Of the TRIBUNE,
and will 500 be ready for distribution.
The first edition Of 1000 of the book
was published in 1889, and the author
has but two or three copies left, the rest
having been disposed of.
The author Of the book is essentially
q pioneer in the settlement of the upper
Missouri river country. He came up the
river from Yankton in 1869, before there
was any settlement on the river where
Bismarck stands now, and was at Painted
Woods for several years as a hunter and
trapper. He is personally familiar, there.
fore, with all of the incidents sof the
early settlement OF the city, and, indeed,
Of the country for miles up and down
the river, and his work is the more in
teresting for that reason. The book is
illustrated, and in it are pictures of J.B.
Clayton, Dan Williams, Joseph Dietrich
and other pioneers Of the region.

A New Cactus Machine.

Ex-Auditor Porter is the latest in
ventor of q stubble burning machine,
which is intended to burn cactus weeds
after the grain crops are cut and
threshed, and thinks it will prove a sue
cess. He is interested in the invention
with other parties, and a trial was to be
made this week. MI. Porter was in con-
sultation with Mr.. Casey of the cactus
commission, on the subject last week.
The commissioners are regarding with
interest the results of the machine, and
trust it will prove better adapted for the
purpose than the other machines that
have been built.

Between the Devil and the Deep Sea.
The Northern Pacific railroad has been
restrained by an.injunction from proceed
ing farther with the work of excavating
an overflow at Lake Ibsen, on the James.
town and Northern branch, near Leeds.
The injunction was secured by f. Erick-
son, a farmer living on the east side Of
the lake, and arguments in the matter
will be heard at Devils Lake in the near
future. When the extension of the James,
town and Northern from Minnewaukan
to Leeds was built i'll '89, the west arm
of this lake was dry, and the embank-
ment, for many thousand feet, was
carried over the old lake bed. The lake
since then has filled up and the tapping
waves, and the muskrats which n
gate in the lake among the rushes have
rendered this portion of the roadbed
insecure. The road wants to dig q,
trench and drain off the water and
Erlckson's objection seems to be that
the Northern Pacific will drain the lake
dry, leaving his farm short of numerous
| water privileges now enjoyed.

CIRCUS DAY.
The Walter L. Main Grandest and
Best Shows Almost Here.

The all-absorbing topic OF the day
seems to be care you going to the circus ?"
The answer on every hand seems to be
"why, certainly" and when one stops
to reflect over the fact that the Walter
Main shows are the largest that ever
toured the United States it is not sur
prising that every one is going to avail
himself OF the opportunity to see this
massive amusement enterprise. No
amusement, whether tented or otherwise,
has ever caused the preliminary enthu-
siasm throughout Breckenridge county
that the Walter Main Shows have by
the announcement that they would ap-
pear in Cloverport, April 10th.
In view OF the fact that this wonderful
geologic, ethnologic, equine and hippo
dromic exhibition is the superior of all
similar enterprises as it does
more cars to transport it, more people to
conduct its various departments, more
horses, wagons, larger tents and the
greatest number OF performers ever
amassed under one management, it is
not surprising that it is to-day the
worlds representative shows.
We suggest to out-oi-town people the
advisability of coming to town early so
as not to Mrs the grand street parade
that takes place daily at 10 a. m, rain or
shine. 1t contains five bands, ten kinds
OF music in all, including the grand
golden steam calliope, band of real
Scottish bag-pipers, and several musical
novelties absolutely new TO the Ameri-
can people There is a whole caravan
of massive carved cages, gilded chariots,
mounted knights and ladies, a score OF
comical clowns, herds OF elephants,
camels, midget ponies and the finest
collection OF highly bred horses ever
brought TO this country. After all, the
parade is only preliminary to the most
remarkable exhibition OF arenic, hip
podromic and geological marvels ever
collected by man.

All OF Thursday evening was consum-
ed in discussing the proposition, whether
or not the court should levy tax for the
purpose OF working the public roads.
The "Road tax" had but few advocates
and the proposition was lost by a unan-

be worked under the old system, and
very little if any improvement in their
condition can be expected. The court
went off on the idea that times were too
