The white miners at once organized and

The white miners at once organized and
went to arrest Biggers. The latter, mean
while, had called in number of his negro
friends. and when the two parties met a
pitched battle ensued. Over a hundred
shots we're fired, the negroes finally going
to the woods. A dozen or more ne
groes were shot down, four of whom
were killed outright and others badly
wounded. Whether any of the whites,
other than the two deputies, were injured
or not cannot be learned.
Brookside is in a state of panic, every
man in town being armed. The shooting
was kept up at intervals for two hours or
more. Another attack by the negroes is
feared, but it may not occur after the Off
GERS arrive. Biggers and his accomplices
are in hiding in the woods, and will be
taken dead or alive.
Brookside has been the scene of race
troubles before. Both colored and white
miners work there, but the feeling has not
been very cordial since last summers
white miners places. 1t only required to-
nights murder to kindle the feudal fame.
Deputy Wood, who was killed, was ex-
Sheriff of Talledega County, and leaves
widow and children. The former is pros
trated and not expected to live.
When the Sheriff's posse reached Brook
side late tonight it found the bodies of
four negroes in the woods where they had
fallen. Will Albert and Charles Jenkins
colored, had been captured by the white
miners, who had placed ropes about the
neeroes' necks and were about to string
them up when the officers rescued them.

Dakota Farmer which will be issued
shortly as the North Dakota Farmer

improved and enlarged, 20 pages per

OBITUARY. !

This entire community was shocked
last Friday morning when it heard that
Mrs. w. G. Jimeson, wife of our much
esteemed postmaster and citizen, was
dead, having died that morning at II
o'clock a. M, after being sick just one
week. She was taken sick week ago
last Thursday with pleuro-pneumonia,
from which she died. The day before
she died she appeared to be quite bright
and it never occurred to the family that
she was 50 near to passing over the
silent river. At the time she died Mr..
Jimeson had gone up town to get some
beef, thinking that she could eat and
enjoy some broth, but before he reach.
ed the house he was informed that she
had passed away. She was conscious
almost to the last minute Of her life and
just quietly slept tho sleep that knows
no waking. She was sixty years old the
14th of last September, and had lived q
useful, energetic christian life, and
leaves husband, two sons here, besides
host of grand children to mourn her
loss. The funeral took place last Sun.
day afternoon in the Baptist church,
Rev. o. d. Purinton preaching the ser.
mon, after which the remains were laid
10 rest in the Cooperstown cemetery.
To the stricken husband, the sons who
have lost mother, and especially TO
the two young girls who have beer
brought up the deceased-her grand
daughters-the sincere sympathy O
this whole community is extended.

The Cat Didn't Come
Back.

Graften Record: Frank Briggs.
North Dakotas popular auditor, has
lost his cat. Mr.. Briggs and family
feel the loss keenly, it had been in tho
family for forty-two years, having been
a present to Mr.. Briggs father when q
kitten. 1t was originally a white cat
but since living in Mandan, it chan rod
color every time tho house was painted
and at the time Of its disappearance
was yellow with white trimmings. It
wore side whiskers and sand burrs in
its yellow hair with changeable tail.
A big scar adorns ono hip, which it get
in the civil war the night it slept in tho
cannon. There was either some mis-.
understanding about the time of start
ing the cannon or the cat over slept,
and it struck tree three miles in tho
country and was lame for week. It
had always borne a good character, was
amiable, modest and always seemed
satisfied with Mandan mice or meat
market liver. Years ago 1t fell in with
a bad dog and lost some Of the express
sion on its left side, but no one ever
blamed the cat in the matter and tho
dog didn't live long enough to be blam-
ed. When Mr.. Briggs moved from
Mandan to Bismarck II few weeks ago,
he carried the furniture and Mrs. Brigga
carried the cat in large basket; every
thing went we'll until the bottom drop
ped out of the basket and the cat has
tened away and has not Leen seen since
Mr.. Briggs friends are doing every
thing in their power to assist him in
recovering the cat. His Office hours for
inspecting stray cats is from two to
four, they are brought and sent to him
from all parts of North and South Da-
kota and he has opened up branch
office in Montana, the manager Of
which is now confined to his room FROM
too close inspection Of a wild cat brought

burg chapter of the Daughters of the
Revolution we are indebted for its res

since 1888. Until that year the old
