resident of far off India, where her bus
band is a tea-merchant, and she came
from India directly here for a visit.
Her brother Dugald met her at Duluth,
and accompanied her to this point, and
they left for Emmons county today,
The great scenic production, Lincoln
j.. Carter's "Fast Mail" company, which
appears at the Atheneum next Tuesday
evening, has played all over the United
States for the past three years. 1t is I'M
necessary to dwell upon it's ~merits-euf-
fee to say that for this season i, has new
scenery and mechanical effects that sur
pass all previous efforts. The present
season Mr.. Carter has six companies
four in this country and two in England.
On Sunday, DR.. Rawlings unearthed
the frontal bone of some human being
in the Apple Creek mound which was
~excavated some days ago. The shape of
the portion of the skull which was found
is good, being high and broad, and
proves the possessor to have been the
possessor of a considerable intellectu-
ality. 1t is difficult to say what relics
OF an unknown race might not be I'M
earthed from the mounds, if a search
we're properly conducted.
Mr.. W. r. C~oggshall of Toronto, Can,
who is touring the Misses Webbing
across the continent, was in the city
yesterday, and arranged a date for the
three sisters at the Atheneum, Septem-
Der 80. The Misses Webbing are from
London, England, and are artists in
graceful dancing, comediettas, character
scenes, humorous recitals, etc. They
have received the most # altering of
compliments wherever they have ap-
peared, and will doubtless give a worthy
entertainment.
The prairie fire north of the city was
extinguished yesterday, after ~tireless
fre+fghting by the residents of that vi.
cinity. Luckily, no great personal losses
occurred, only n or two haystacks
going up in smoke. Toe much care can
not be exercised on the prairies these
days, as the grass is high and dry, and
high winds carry the fire over the coln-
try at such a rate that to stop it is we'll
nigh impossible. Even an ordinary fire
break avails little, when some of the fires
get we'll started.
Minneapolis journal: In the North
Dakota penitentiary they find some
thing for the convicts to do outside of
working at trades. It is stated that
the prisoners this year have raised over
1900 bushels Of oats, 1,7O0 bushels of
onions, 100 acres of corn and potatoes,
and other vegetables enough to keep
them during the ensuing year. They
have also graded a street from the peni-
Tertiary into Bismarck, planted and
cared for 700 trees on the capitol grounds,
and are making other improvements.
DIR. Goeschel and a colored attache of
the Inter Ocean in Mandan had some
kind of a disagreement yesterday, and
the latter is laid up for repairs. It
seems the colored gentleman attacked
the doctor with a chair, and afterward
opened fire at him with a revolver. His
aim was bad, however, and as soon as
the doctor got his artillery into position,
he shot the negro in the arm, and put a
second ball in his head, cutting the scalp
pretty badly. The cause of the row is
not known here, but one of the effects
is a pretty badly used up colored man.
Fargo Forum: The bill of exceptions
in the Kent case are about completed
and will be filed sometime this week.
After some consideration Judge ,Hildreth
has come to the conclusion that under
the law the exceptions cannot be
served upon W. P. Miller, the assistant
prosecutor, but will have to go to District
Attorney Voss at Mandan. This same
point came up in the Wendlund case
and Attorney Crum it is said looked the
question up thoroughly and declined to
serve the bill Of exceptions in the Wend-
lund case upon Mr.. Hildreth, who as
sisted States Attorney Pollock in the
prosecution. This fact, together with
rulings in the California courts, prompts
Attorney Hlldreth to take his exceptions
to Mandan, so that no point can be raised
on that score.
WEDNESDAY,.
Governor Allin is in Grand Forks, to
take in the fair there.
