Colonel Lounsberry Objects.

Colonel Lounsberry writes the TR1B-
UNE in reference to the article from Che
Fargo Forum which appeared in Satur.
days paper, and says: ''You did an in
justice in copying from the Forum the
statement credited to me that the peni-
Tertiary board had suspended the deputy
warden for the recent escape of prison
ers. I gave their reporter, as I did yours,
the uame of the guard suspended. I did
not mention the deputy warden, who
was in no manner at fault. The board
has been criticised for the suspension on
the ground that the prisoners ought not
to have been sent out with but one
guard. The escape did not result from
the lack Of guards, but from the over
confidence of the n guard and his lack
of vigilance. The appropriation for guards
is too small. It does not provide for a
sufficient number, or decent pay for those
provided, and the escape has some rela-
ton to the lack in number of guards, but
I dare say no other escapes will occur
under similar circumstances"

The Electric Light Case.
Judge Winchester Friday decided the
electric light maudamus case, which was
brought by Edward A. Hughes some
time ago, to compel the mayor to sign a
certain electric light contract. The case
arose originally out of an ordinance
passed by the city, granting a twenty
year electric light franchise to the said
Edward A. Hughes, and providing that
. contract be drawn and entered into be-
tween the city and the person to whom
the franchise was granted. The contract
was not signed by Mayor Leslie, and at
a subsequent meeting of the council, the
ordinance granting the franchise was re.
pealed and that part of the minutes re
lating to the proceedings we're expunged
from the record. An action in manda-
mus was then brought to compel the
mayor to sign the contract. The de-
cision of Judge Winchester is that the
mayor does not have to sign the con-
tract, and the granting Of an order to
compel him to sign it is refused.

The August number of The North
west Magazine is, as usual, of especial
interest to Northwestern readers. A
very entertaining contribution is written
and illustrated by Geo. Cady johnson,
and is descriptive of Lake Cushman,
Wash. IA Pasco Belle" by Jennie
Louise Harris, is a western story that
possesses unusual literary and dramatic
merit.
One of Anna Katherine Green's excit-
ing stories of hidden crime and it's de-
lection is the leading feature of Ro.
nance for August. In addition there
are interesting tales by such authors of
note as Grant Allen, Anthony Hope and
others. The translation from the
French of Paul Hervleu-called IA
Night of Horror"-has a good deal of
thrill" in it. and there is a graceful
little love story of an unusual kind en-
titled "The Princess Bamboo" The
cover is an attractive representation of
the pleasure to be had in sailing DER

The supreme significance of the fact
that the United States has become the
foremost iron producing country of the
world; the necessity of an output of
100000 tons of iron during the COM
ing twelve months, as against 100000
tons in 1893, and 100000 tons in 1894;
and the strong probability that we shall
have to build 100000 miles of railroads
during the next fifteen or twenty years
to complete the systems now in opera
tion-these are the central features of
an important leading article by Edward
Atkinson in the Engineering Magazine
for August.

illustrates Mrs. de Koven's article with

To Contest the Suit.

An Argus dispatch says: The attor.
neys of the Northern Pacific gathered
here are preparing to stubbornly contest
the suit to GUST the receivers, brought by
Counsel Petit OF Seattle. Ex-senator
John G. Spooner and G. w. Bum, gen.
eral counsel at st. Paul, arrived last
night on q special train, and we're joined
later by Elk Senator J. N. Dolph of Ore
gon. A long conference was held with
J.. M. Ashton, the western counsel, at
which the plan of defense was outlined.
The attorneys will 20 to Seattle today
and agree on the day for argument Of
Mr.. Pettit's action. Receiver Payne
went to Portland today. MI. Bum

sition Of the western counsel was over

Where Will 1t Occuro

Before Judge Mcconnell at Fargo
yesterday, a motion for the arrest of
judgment in the case against Kent was
denied by the judge, who fixed August 81
as the date for which the motion for a
new trial will be argued. The motion
for the arrest of judgment was made on
several grounds. First, that the verdict
was rendered against Myron r. Kent
and not William Wiley Pancoast; second,
that the proceedings therein have not
been upon information filed by the states
attorney of Morton county, but upon a
copy thereof; third, that the court has
no jurisdiction therein, in that Cass
county was not the proper county in
which to try said cause; fourth, that the
names of the material witnesses were
not indorsed on the information; fifth,
that there is a fatal variance between the
information and the proof. The court
held against the defendant in each case.
There has been a question raised as to
where the execution will occur if Kent
fails to get q new trial. The law says it
shall occur in the county where the con
viction was had, and Cass county seems
to think it will occur there. Other au-
thorities say that constructively, a on
viction was had in Morton county, the
trial having been begun there, and that
the execution a legally occur in either
Cass or Morton county.

State vs.. Emil Wendlund, who is now
confined in the penitentiary under a sem
tence of life Imprisonment for murder.
The writ is granted upon the application
of w. 81. Barnett, Martin Ryan, Taylor
Crum and A. G. Hanson, attorneys for
the defense. Wendlund, it will be re-
membered, was tried and found guilty
of the murder of Louis johnson, in Cass
county, and brought to the penitentiary
some time ago. The application for a
writ Of error alleges fifty-ive errors on
the part of the trial court-in the secur-
ing Of a jury, admission of testimony,
and other rulings. The case will come
up for hearing by the supreme court at
the October term, in Grand Forks.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that under the new codes, writs Of
error are done away with, and appeals in
criminal cases filed in the same n
as in civil cases. This is a simpler
method, and does away with one Of the
two kinds of procedure in the appealing
of cases.
Welded.
The following from the Fargo Forum
will be read with interest by the friends
of the couple in question in this city,
who will extend the sincerest of con-
CALCULATIONS:
If a perfect day is indicative of a happy
life of unalloyed bliss to a bride, then
surely Mrs. Alex Montague's married life
will be one Of perpetual sunshine. without
a cloud to ever cast a shadow on her path
way, for a more beautiful day for a we'd
ding rarely falls to the lot of a bride than
was yesterday. Rarely, also is a more
beautiful bride bestowed on mortal man
than was Miss Annie Nelson when, in the
presence of a large number of friends and
relatives, Rev. r. johnson spoke the solemn
words which bound her to Mr.. Alex T.
Montague of Dickinson, N. D., ''until death
shall part" The Presbyterian church was
prettily decorated for the occasion, sweet
peas and ferns taking a conspicuous part
Promptly on time the wedding party drove
up and entered the church to the strains OF
the wedding march. Misses Helen ano
Cora Nelson and Matte LaMoure acted as
bridesmaids, while Dr.. Branch of Dickin-
son, was best a The bride was attirec
in white satin, en- train, while the groom
wore the conventional black. The brides
maids wore white and each a bouquet Of
roses. The ceremony was neatly per
formed by Rev. johnson, pastor Of the
Presbyterian church, after which a recep-
ton was held at the residence of the brides
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Montague have gone east
on their wedding tour.

Pierce, Ransom, Richland, Stark, Towner,
Ward and Williams. AS was the case
in spring, institutes, Miss Bates will at
tend all institutes and contribute her
personal assistance. All blanks and sup
plies for institutes, reports, etc., have
been prepared and placed with the re-
spective county superintendent. The
next apportionment Of the state tuition
fund will be made on the 10Th inst.
Lists ofIbooks a%pprovedfor district school
and libraries are in preparation. The
state department prepares all questions
for state and county examinations-the
latter being held every alternate month
and supplies all blanks, comprising
about a hundred different forms, re-
CURED to be used in all schools and by
all school officers of the state. Two
complete and distinct sets of record
books are kept, one of the department
of public instruction and the other for
the board of university and school lands,
of which board the superintendent of
public instruction is ex-officio secretary.
From eighteen counties so far heard
from the wheat average for 1895 shows a
decrease of $4,000 acres, while corn
shows an increase of 31,643 acres, and
potatoes an increase of $685. acres.
Cass, Grand Forks aud Barnes have not
yet reported.
The Grain Crop.
Much of the grain crop in Burleigh
county has been cut and is now ready
for the thresher. This is true especially
of the southern part, where farmers ex-
pected to finish the cutting of wheat the
first part Of the present week. On the
Fort Rice reservation the grain is re-
ported as exceptionally fine. Wheat is
expected will average from twenty to
twenty-five bushels an acre, and of good
quality, and other grains are also ex-
pected to turn out good yields.
Some of the fields are better than
others, but the average is ahead of any
crop raised in years. It is said there are
thirty acres on the Field place which
will 60 forty bushels to the acre, and
other very good pieces are reported.
In the northern part of the county the
wheat is two to three weeks later than
in the central and southern parts, and
cutting has barely yet begun. If there
is no frost, the farmers there also will
harvest q good crop.
The corr is somewhat backward, but
if the frost holds of a little time yet, the
corn yield will be good.
At the Atheneum.
A very satisfactory performance was
that given by the J. K. Emmet company
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-08-16

at the Atheneum Friday. As'"Fritz {"
the simple hearted German boy, the
better side of whose disposition is in
visible to an irascible father, and whose
consequent disagreements with his sire
are productive of so many flashes of
quaint humor. Emmett is good, and he
carries with him the good will of his au-
dience from the first. There is not much
of a plot to the play, but the dialogue is
bright, the situation at times very laugh
able, and again pathetic and touching.
Baby Sinnot was a taking little miss,
and her rendition of the Bowery Girl
brought down the house, so we'll did she
portray the part required of her. The
songs which we're rendered by Fritz and
the little n we're also effective and
pleasing. The audience found an old
friend in l.. P. Hects, as Joe Parker the
rough but warm hearted cotton planter,
who, it will be remembered, was here as
Squire Tucker in Alabama last winter.
The audience last night was fair, and
the play enjoyable throughout, some Of
the situations in the supposed madhouse
being lud,crous, and interesting.
