Hon. Neil McInnis. of Duluth, spent
Sunday in ST. Paul, leaving for home
last evening. To a Glob reporter
he said: '"The Dispatch of Saturday
evening printed a baseless yarn con-
cerning an alleged political combina-
ton, having for it's object the nomina-
ton of John L. Gibbs for governor.
My name was given in connection with
the reporters dream. I desire to state
that the idea of going into any COM
bination has never entered my head
Just now. my days and nights are
given up to thoughts of what the
coming enumeration is going to show
up our way; and, incidentally, 1 am
somewhat concerned in the selection of
proper men for enumerators. There
are droves of candidates, and but few
positions for Mr.. Berg to fill"
Ralph Kenwood. traveller, who has
just returned from Devils Lake and
the Turtle mountain country, in chat
ting with G O b man yesterday,
made these pointed remarks: ''It is a
matter for congratulation, in my opin-
Ion, that severe fight did not occur
between the United States officers and
the half-breeds last week. From all
that could learn there was the tough
est kind of a crowd of red vagabonds
doing their level best to cause a serf-
GUS encounter. Not that the meters
OF the trouble would have been likely
to risk their own precious hides, but
in the turmoil and excitement that
would attend a fight and a chase they
noped to secure an opportunity to
pIunder and get safe away; and they
could have done it, too, quite handily.
Marshal Cronan and his little crowd
or picked men fooled and disappointed
the misunderstanding chaps, however.
or tale might have been told that
would have rivaled the Lake Shetek
massacre in horror. Some of the half
breeds, and, possibly, your people here.
had an idea that Cronan would pro-
crastinate rather than fight-that he
would wait on the slow-moving Wash
ington officials at the sacrifice of his
own reputation. They were badly mis-
taken; for men who were on the
ground assured me that if the breeds
mad not surrendered when they did
they would have been captured. dead
or alive, within a few hours. Of
course, some of the officers might have
been shot also, and it is better that the
affair ended as it did. Still, 1 believe
there will be bloodshed up there one
OF these days, and probably not until
hight occurs will the official red tape
at Washington be stretched sufficiently
to allow quick action in cases, where
delay may Involve great danger"
