CHAMPION SWEARER.
He Was Cured of the Habit by Simple
StrataSe1n.

He Was Cured of the Habit by a Simple
StrataGe1n.
Among the Outre characters OF Ayr
more than 100 years ago there was none
so remarkable as a little oldish man
who was ordinarily called the "evil
Almighty" He had acquired this ter
rife sobriQuet from an inveterate habit
OF swearing, or rather from that phrase
being his favorite oath. He was no or
| binary swearer, no mincer Of dreadful
words, no clipper of the Kings curses.
| Being man of violent passions, he ha Il
a habit when provoked of shutting his
| eyes and launching headlong into a
| torrent of blasphemy, such as might, If
| properly divided, have set up whole
| troop of modern swearers.
The custom of shutting his eyes SEEM
| ed to be adopted by him as sort of
salve to his conscience. He seemed to
think that provided he did not ''sn with
| his eyes open" he did not sin at all; or
it was perhaps nothing but a habit.
Whatever might be the cause or pur-
pose of the habit it was once made the
means of playing off upon him most
admirable hoax. Being one evening in
| q tavern along with two neighboring
country gentlemen he was, according
to a concerted plan, played upon and
| irritated. OF course he soon shut his
eyes, and commenced his usual TRADE Of
execraton and blasphemy. AS soon as
he was fairly af1oat and his eyes were
| observed to be hard shut his compan-
| ions put out the candles, so as to In
yolve the room in utter darkness.
In the course of a quarter of an hour,
which was the common duration Of his
paroxysms, he ceased to speak, and
opened his eyes, when what was his
amazement to find himself in the dark.
''How now? Am l blind?" "Blind,"
exclaimed one Of the company; "what
should make you blind?' "Why, can
see nothing" answered the sinner.
.'That is your own fault" coolly OBJ
served his friend; ''for my part l can
see we'll enough" and he drank toast
as if Lothing had happened. This con-
vinced the blasphemer that he had
| lost his sight, and to add to his horror
1t struck him that Providence had in
flicted the blow as punishment for his
intolerable wickedness. Under this i'm
preston he began to rave and cry, and
he finally fell into praying, uttering
such expressions as made his two COM
panions ready to burst with RETAINED
laughter.
When they thought they had punished
him sufficiently, and began to fear lest
his mind be affected if they continued
the joke any longer, one of them went
to the door and admitted the light. The
old blasphemer was overwhelmed with
shame at the exhibition he had been
compelled to make, which had such an
effect that from that time forward he
entirely abandoned his abominable
habit.-Kilmarnock Standard.

A Slick Confidence Game.

One of the slickest kind ofconfidence
games has been unearthed by States
Attorney E. S. Allen, of Burleigh
County. 1t seems that a gang has
been swindling a number of the
counties in the western part of the
State by very skilful method of ''finan-
ciering." 1t is well known that nearly
all OF the western counties pay liber-
al bounty for wolf scalp on account of
their depredations to stock and sheep.
The plan has been to purchase through
a confederate in Chicago, it is sup
posed, large numbers of scalps re-
moved from furs in the big fur estab-
lishments, which they procured for a
nominal price and proceeded to utilize
them to secure the bounties offered.
1t is claimed they were successful in
this scheme to the extent Of probably
5000. Suspicious of the officers of
Burleigh County finally became
aroused and an investigation followed,
with the result that a Mr.. w. H.
Leonard, hotel keeper at Grand
Forks, was arrested through the efforts
of Mr.. Allen. A package addressed
to Mr.. Leonard at Sterling. Burleigh
county, and shipped from Chicago was
opened and found to contain large
number Of wolf scalps, hence the
arrest of Leonard.
AN ARREST AT LEEDS.
Following up the clue obtained by
the arrest at Grand Forks, Mr.. Allen
made another arrest at Leeds yester-
day of one of the pals, and learned
that still another was on his way north
on the Great Northern train, evidently
making for the Canadian line. He tele-
graphed to Sheriff White here, and in
consequence
AN ARREST IN BOTTINEAU
was made on the arrival of the train
from the east yesterday afternoon who
was described in the telegram, but
who refuses to give his name. In talk
ing with Sheriff White the young fel-
low said eff I ever get out of this
scrape l will never be caught in an
other" almost an acknowledged of
guilt. Sheriff White will leave this
morning for Leeds with his prisoner
and there turn him over to Mr..
Allen.

For Criminal Libel.

Minot Reporter: Sheriff O'Hara left
Tuesday for Washburn with warrant
Of arrest for John Satterlund and J. H.
Taylor. The warrant charges criminal
libel and is sworn to by Major J. s. Muir
ply, present Representative Of this Leg
islative District. The Washburn Leader.
owned by John Satterlund and edited
by J. H. Taylor, has, for the past six
months published number of articles
rejecting on the personal and political
character of Major Murthy, especi-
ally while the latter was Indian agent
at Fort Berthold. "King John'' and
his faithful man Friday, Taylor, will
be given an opportunity to air their
grievances before Judge Morgan and
either substantiate the charges they
have tried 80 hard to circulate, or else
be branded as slanderers of the worst
kind.

A special containing the General Super
intendent of the Great Northern Railway,
Mr.. f. W. McKenna, and the Division
Superintendent, MIR. r. Hnrding, came In

other business connected with the railroad.

Mr.. II. NJ. Cornell, Of Holmfeld, Man.,
representing the Canadian Pacific Railway
as special agent, was here this week in the
interest of his road looking into the reason
why so many Canadian cattle are being
driven over the line, customs duty paid
thereon, and shipped east over our Great
Northern Railway, instead of being shipped
lreet over the Canadian Pacific. The
PIONEER acknowledges call from the
gentleman.

REV. w. II. WooD, Pastor.
The port of entry at this place was
closed April 9th, prohibiting the importa-
ton of Canadian cattle. We understand
the c ina dian Pacific Railway Company
were instrumental in this order being
issued from Washington, it being claimed
Canadian cattle having contagious diseases
were being driven over here and shipped
to American markets 1t appears that
American buyers have been up on the
Canadian side and with true Yankee
push have bought up Canadian cattle,
paying higher prices than Canadian
buyers could pay. From what we can
learn the facts do not warrant our Govern
ment closing this port, thereby inflicting
hardships upon our citizens who are do
ing legimate business. The point seems
to be that the Canadian Pacific Railway
are jea Gus on account of losing the
revenue which would accrue to it on these
shipments if they were shipped from
Canadian points, and they resort to any
device SO as to stop any more Canadian
cattle coming over on this side. Mr..
Rippon, the local agent of the Great
Northern Railway line, informs US that
his company will take steps at once to
protect American buyers, and Unnecessary
quarantine station will be established
here. We see no good reason why the
order from Washington should not be
recalled, and our people will watch the
matter with interest
