The Only One.

The report in the Devils Lake papers
the other day as to the finding of the
skull of Jack X emmy on the street, calls
to mind the fact that the only woman
now confined at the state ~penitentiary is
serving out a sentence for the killing Of
Kenny. This is Agnes Baldwin, who
lived formerly just across from the town
of Devils Dake. She was a quarter
blood Indian, and Kenny vas a sort of
hanger on at her place. She became in
volved in a row with him one morning,
and in the quarrel struck him with a
heavy lamp, breaking his skull. After
wards, she cut his throat from ear to ear,
and then carried the body down into the
buLhes, where she cut the head COM
pletely off the body, cut off both legs,
and one arm, and buried the different
parts of the corpse in a hole just back
of her shack. The crime Wal revealed
by a second woman who was at the place
the time the murder was committed,
and an investigation revealed the trunk,
head and discovered limbs of the MUIR
dered man, and caused the arrest of the
Baldwin woman, who was finally SEN
fenced to a term of seven years in the
She is now the only occupant of
the female ward, and has been at the
pen for several years, having about two
more to serve. She is seldom seen by
anyone but the attendants at the institu-
ton, and is now over so years of age.

lO Is the LIAR?

MANDAN, N. D., August lS.-The above
question heads an article in the Forum
of Saturday, and really to read the
article one would think that the Forum
wants to make me out to be the fellow.
It is a little remarkable that the Forum
should be willing to brand a fellow
laborer in the newspaper vineyard a liar
on the say.so of such an unmitigated
prevaricator as Hildreth. It may be
journalism, but I { don't believe it is good
judgment.
The item which appeared in the Pioneer
read as follows:
Jim Campbell is authority for the state
ment that Mr.. R. P. Allison of Steele has
in his possession a $4,000 insurance
policy on the lite of Mrs. Kent, turned
over to him by Kent. Allison is reported
to have said that now Kent has had two
trials there is no reason why he should
keep the matter quiet any longer.
Campbell denies, in a telegram to Hill
dreth, that he said it. Allison says he
does not believe Campbell said it. Hill
dreth knows Campbell did not say it. I
have before me a number of affidavits,
signed by Justices of the peace, news-
paper men, railroad conductors, and
many other good newspaper men, who,
On their solemn oaths, swear that Camp
bell did tell them, or state in their pres
ence, that he understood that Allison
had the policy as above stated, and he
went on in the presence of some of them
stating just what the above item quotes
him as saying. Now who is the liar?
What sort of a newspaper would the
Pioneer be to learn that one of the at
torneys for the defendant in the Kent
case-the original and senior attorney in
the case-was telling this story around
on the street, and say nothing about it
to it's readers? This may be the Forums
idea of journalism, but I don't believe it.
I hope the Forum will not get unduly
excited for fear that the editor of the
Pioneer should get his pedal extremities
too much mixed. The trouble with the
whole business is that Campbell has
associated with Hildreth so much that
he is getting to be as big a prevarlcator,
and that is saying a great deal. We are
all sorry for Jim-those of us who have
known him for years. Here he does not
deny having spread the policy story. It
may be that Allison has no such policy.
If he had he would not give it up at this
juncture, in all probability. But if any
lies have been started to injure Kent, or
to do him any good, there are scores of
good citizens of Mandan who will swear
that Jim Campbell Is the fellow that
started them. Yours truly.

The little animal was on the keen run
as she turned on Fifth avenue, and run
nlng directly across the street, jumped
clear through the plate glass window Of
the bank building on the corner. The
glass, which is a quarter of an inch
thick, was shivered in ten Thousand
fragments, and fell to the floor with a
prolonged crash. The horse, after land
ing inside the bank, slipped and fell to
the floor, but was up again in an instant,
and walked quietly through a partition
door around in front of the bank counter
and out a rear door to the back room,
where she was caught and led out on the
street.

To Kill Noxious Weeds.

Howard G. Packer, an Emmons county
boy, would kill weeds by electricity, and
subjoins a plan which is respectfully re-
ferred to the cactus commission: 1T is
a we'll known fact that electricity of high
potential is as destructive to plant life as
it is to animal life. I propose to have a
machine built somewhat on the plan of
a header, which would carry a dynamo
for generating a current of high poten-
tial. This dynamo would receive it's
power from the two large wheels on
which the machine would run. By Deans
of q transformer the current would be
raised to a potential of about 25,0O0
volts. In front of the machine would be

a rod about twenty feet long, moving
quite close to the ground. One of the
poles of the transformer would be con-
nected with the earth through the wheel
and the other would be connected with
the long rod. Now, if the current was
on, every living thing coming in contact
with the rod would be killed. The cur
rent would destroy the whole plant, in
Guiding the roots, since the current
would pass through the roots in order to
reach tile damp ground. This, I believe,
is the only method by which French
weed can be destroyed. The great ad-
vantage of this plan is that weeds could
be destroyed before the seed was ripe"

Jim Campbell Says Too that the
Same Report Concering
Him Is Wrong.
Editor futile of Mandan Has a
Word to Say In the Kent
Matter.
Allison SAYS No.

The latest sensation in the Kent case
is a telegram from Mandan published in
several eastern papers, to the effect that
Attorney Campbell of Mandan was
authority for the statement that r. P.
Allison Of Steele, who was formerly the
friend and adviser of Kent, and who was
n of the last persons seen by Kent
just before he left the country a year
ago, had stated that he (Allison) had in
his possession a life insurance policy for
$4,000 on the life of Mrs. Kent, which
Kent had turned over to him, and that
now that Kent had been twice convicted
of the murder, there was no further use
in keeping it quiet. This report mas
created considerable excitement on both
sides of the Kent case, for if it was true,
there was an established motive for the
crime for which Kent mas been convicted.
Editor Wood of Steele Ozone, however,
wires the TRIBUNE Saturday that r. P.
Allison says the dispatch in the morning
papers about his having a policy on Mrs.
Kent's life is a falsehood and that he has
received a letter from j. E. Campbell
this morning stating that the claim
that he vas authority for the statement
in the dispatch is a lie. Allison wired
this to Attorney Hildreth Saturday in an
swer to an inquiry from him regarding the
matter. How the report originated is a
question. The item ~appears.ln the Man
dan Pioneer of Friday, as follows:
Jim Campbell is authority of the state
ment that Mr.. r. P. Allison of Steele has
in his possession a $4,000 insurance
policy on the life of Mrs. Kent, turned
over to him by Kent. Allison is reported
to have said that now Kent has had two
trials there is no reason why he should
keep the matter quiet any longer.
The matter is an important one, and
the PRONUNCIATION Of such a report, if
false, is not at all creditable TO the

Inspecting the Fort.

General Brooke and his aide returned
Sunday from Fort Yates, where he in
spected the military post. The general
made a searching investigation of every
thing appertaining to Uncle Sans mill
tary forces, and inspected the condition
and discipline of the troops. One fea-
ture of the inspection was the ordering
out of the troops, as though for action.
Tents and accoutrements were packed
up, and the troops marched out in read
mess for battle. After the march had
been made a certain distance, an mag
mary enemy appeared, skermish lines
were thrown out, and all preparations
made for battle. The infantry reserve
moved up to support 1.-The skirmishers,
and the enemy was at length put to
fight, at which the cavalry troops
dashed off in pursuit. Altogether the
inspection was made with a view to
ascertaining the Practical training of the
troops, and the condition of the fort as
to resources in case the troops are
needed. The general left for the east
on Sunday nights train.

Wants Him to Behave,

Senator Anderson Baker was in con
sultation with Judge Chase and States
Attorney Allen Friday, regarding the
invoking of the law to insure peace and
quiet on the part of Jack Venable. Jack
was released from the pen not long ago,
where he was confined for an assault on
the senator, and the latter has heard re.
ports of threats made by Jack. Then
too, Jack gave the senator a cane some
years ago, and the latter went to con.
siderable expense to have a gold head
put on it, and other decorations made.
Now Jack wants it back and the senator
isn't disposed to give it unless Jack
pays for the improvements. After some
discussion, it was agreed that Jack
hadn't done anything to warrant his be-
ing placed under bonds, and the senator
left the a with Judge Chase, as a sort
of hostage.
