thinks the United States was in the zenith

NORTH DAKoTA's NEW BUG.
Nobody Knows What Industry 1t Has

Nobody Knows What Industry 1t Has
Come to Destroy.
A strange insect has made its appear
ance in North Dakota in large numbers
and has been the source of much specu-
lation as to its character habits and
name 1t has been seen for many weeks
past in myriads III certain localities and
is now met with, as it has made its
presence felt for weeks past, in stores,
offices, barber shops, hotels and on the
trees and walks. Where it came from
and where and when it will go are yet
unanswered questions. Professor Wal
dron of the state experimental station
at Fargo says it is closely allied to the
chinch bug that has caused millions of
dollars worth Of damage during GER
tain years III Minnesota and other states
He is of the opinion that these bugs
came from South America, where most
of their allies live.
The insects were first noticed in this
portion of the state about the middle of
August at Spiritwood lake. The bugs
were seen in all stages of growth--from
the red coated young to the black winged
Notwithstanding in clusters from the
limbs and in large numbers on the
trunks of the trees. The next instance
known of their presence was on Sept
20. when thousands of the young were
found i'll the timber at the junction Of
the Pipestone and James rivers in this
city Nearly dozen patches of the
young, varying four or five feet to 60
feet in diameter, We're discovered The
wingless Larvae, crimson in color, were
several deep and formed writhing
mass A few fully developed bugs Were
noticed among the young Thousands
were seen on the brush, logs, trees and
stones The insects, while in the larval
state, remained in this locality for about
two weeks and suddenly disappeared
The adult bug is a little less than
half an inch III length. is dull black III
color, with small red markings, and has
four wings. The first pair are leathery
at the base and membraneous at the
tips. Its mouth consists OF a single
sucking tube, so that its living is oh
tanned entirely by sucking, The young
are similar to the adults, except that
they are red and are wingless. With the
growth of wings black markings appear.

LAUGHS AT DEATH.
How Two Sticks, = Rad Indian, Received
. Capital Sentence Mt Deadwood.


When sentence was passed ON 1.-TWO
Sticks, the courtroom was packed, and
when the presiding judge expressed his
belief that all four Indian murderers
should be hung the people cheered, and
the United States marshal was called
upon to preserve order. Red Elk. COM
monty known as 1.-Two Sticks" (since
his crippled condition has compelled
him 10 walk ON crutches), tho first of
all his race to feel the heavy hand Of
the invader, . will be hung Christmas
week for the cold blooded murder of q
16-year-old white boy. Throughout the
trial Two Sticks has seemed amused
at the proceedings and has felt sure of
being acquitted They did not hang
Crow Dog, he argued, so they couldn't
hang him. Crow Dog was the first In
dian ever tried in Dakota courts. He
was on trial here i'll 1882 for the muir
der of Spotted Tail, chief of the Sioux
tribe, and was found guilty. But The
case was appealed to the supreme court
of the United States by Crow Dogs at
torney, known to the Indians as the
"little man with the big voice" ead
now Judge of this judicial district, and
in the supreme court the Indian was ac-
quilted.
Two Sticks is not popular, even
among his own people. He is bad In.
dian, according to their story. He was
with Rain In the Face at the Custer
massacre; he was at Wounded Knee,
where one of his SOILS was "kllled with
grub in his mouth" wherever the IN
dian wars have been most barbarous and
bloody, wherever the innate cruelty and
treachery Of the red man have been most
manifest, there Two Sticks has been in
the midst of them His hatred of the
white man is bitter and intense.
Two Sticks received both verdict and
sentence with absolute indifference.
When asked by the judge whether he
had anything to say, he repked, without
any show Of feeling or interest III the
matter: Il am an old man, but have a
brave heart, and am not afraid to die,

were to him huge joke. At last ac-
