A Pleasant Evening.

A very pleasant evening was passed
by a Large number of the young people
last evening at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. P. G. Remington. Each invited
guest had been admonlshed to bring a
thimble, and after arriving was set to
work with sewing buttons upon cloth, to
test the respective abilities of those pres
ent. Much amusement was afforded,
and many and langhable were some of
the maiden efforts of the young men at
sewing. Refreshments were served at
forwards, and the evening was very en-
joyably passed, nothing being left un-
done which might contribute to the
amusement and pleasure of the guests.

Frank a Back.

Frank J. Call, one of Bismarck's best
known and most energetic real estate and
insurance men back in the sos dropped
off Saturday mornings train from the east
and was kept busy for a time greeting
old friends, whom he had not seen for
years. Mr.. Call has been in st. Paul
visiting with his wife and children, and
made a trip up to Grand Forks to see
his con Harry, who is located there. He
will pass the day in the city, and leave
tomorrow for Everett, Wash, where he
is agent of the Canadian Pacific road,
and also engaged in the insurance bust
ness. 1T is over six years since I have
seen the old town." said MI. Call this
morning. II left on the morning of May

storm I have aver seen, and have been
out on the coast since. I like the coun-
try out west-the climate is admirable,
the temperature rarely falling below 40
degrees above in winter, and not often
going above 80 in summer. Flowers
bloom outside all winter, as a general
rule, and altogether the place is delight.

To Raise Strawberries.
On the bottoms south of town, where
there is a tract of land which, from it's
location, is kept thoroughly watered the
season round, preparations are being
made for the cultivation of a tract of
about three acres of land in strawberries.
E. Fl. Bly, is the promoter of the plan.
and Tom Fortune has been busy for sew
eral days preparing the land. Several
teams are at work, and the land has been
thoroughly plowed and put into shape
for growing berries. It has been liber.
ally fertilized, and another season will
probably see it covered with thriving
strawberry vines. It has been demon
strated already, in several instances, that
the berries can be successfully grown
along the Missouri slope, and berries of
the best quality. 1t is thought that the
tract of land in question, if properly
cared for, a be made productive of a
good quality of strawberries, and an
other year, the neighboring markets will
probably be supplied with them from a
home strawberry farm.

To Give a Play.

10 o1Vo u IAhy.
NEVADA very pleasing three act
drama by Baker, will b. presented at
the Atheneum Monday night of next
week, by a cast of Capital Cityites, under
the auspices of the ladies of the Eastern
Star. The play itself is a very attract
i've one, being the tale of a lost mine,
which is discovered by an old miner,
who is injured while digging in his claim,
just as he gets a glimpse of a rich de-
post of gold, and becomes crazed by his
injury, and unable to discover the spot a
second time. In his search for the find,
and in the camp of miners who know
him and his sad story, there arise many
accidents, and complications, working
out a very pretty little story of love and
gold, not without it's element OF humor.
The play will be put on under the direc-
ton of Mr.. D. w. Clark and Mrs. George
Hughes, both of whom have had wide
experience, and whose participation will
assure it's successful production. Among
those who are concerned in it's rendition
are Mrs. Hughes, Miss Dunn, Miss Win
chester, Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Hughes, Capt.
Gregg, Mr.. Foley, Mr.. Conklin. Mr..
Berry, Mr.. Poole and MI. w. w. Smith.
What Campbell Says.
Attorney Campbell of Mandan, who
was alleged to have originated the report
of the Kent life insurance policy, pub
fishes the following letter in the Fargo
Argus:
When the Mandan Pioneer published the
statement that l was authority for the re-
port that Allison held an insurance policy
on the life OF Mrs. Kent it must have
known that such was not the facts. After
the article was published Mr.. Wilson of the
Pioneer claimed to me that he never wrote
it and said he didn't know who did. Now he
was the only Pioneer man l ever spoke to
on the subject. [ had asked the said Will
son if he had heard Mr.. Tobln and Mr..
O'Rourke say they had heard such a re-
port and that | was anxious to find out the
truth of SAID report. Consequently Mr..
Wilson knew l was not the authority, yet,
dItci LutS. Vic CclcRldlA was ocAG Win Glo
hope, as l b believe, that it would lnjure Kent.
The attorneys for Kent has been working
and defending Kent without pay, because
they believe in the .God-aiven principle that
human lite should not be taken on a story
of perjury, falsehood and crime. 1 can.
never believe that the Justice to be found
in our laws demands any help from blood
hands or perjured lips to enforce its
sacred edicts. Let us ""be just and fear
not; -

who has been organizing some temples
in the state, and who has been in the
city for a day or So, on the same mission,
has gone back east. No gteu pie w%assor-
ganized here, and Mr.. Thomas says that
though he finds plenty of silver senti-
ment, and many honest bimetallists, the
organization of lodges is not easy, many
of the believers III silver being unwilling

Has Amdavits,

In the Mandan Pioneer of this week,
two columns and more are devoted to
the insurance policy phase Of the Kent
case which arose recently. In defend
ing its publication of the report, and at
the same time administering a few rib
ticklers to Attorney Campbell, the
Pioneer says: "The Pioneer now has in
it's possession the aforesaid af1idavits.
They are to the effect that the signers
heard Mr.. Campbell state to then, or in
their presence that he had learned that
r. P. Allison of Steele had in his posses
sion a policy on Mrs. Kent's life for $751;
600, and that the said policy was given
to Allison by Kent. Some Of the signers
heard further that Allison had said that
as Kent had had two trials there was 10
reason for keeping it quiet any longer
To others who questioned Mr.. Camp
bell, he said that it was right-that ALL
son had so reported. These affidavlts
are signed by A. M. Packard, Conductor
Shea, P. w. McGillic, William Simpson,
w. A. Baldwin, 7. H. DOLE and Charles
Wilson and are as good as a hundred,
although a hundred could easily have
been secured. These afidavits, to the
effect as above stated are Sufficient to
warrant the publication of the item pub
liahad last week."

for Gold.

teresting search in progress in the Bad
Lands, which, if successful, may result
in the transformation of that wild region
from n of comparative solitude and
quiet to a veritable beehive of industry.
Away back in 1876, not long after the
Custer massacre, there occurred on what
is now known as Bull Run creek, a ter
rife battle between two bands of hostile
Indians. Evidences of the struggle which
took place there may still be discerned,
as the region abounds with the flint
arrow and spear heads which were for
merly used by some of the warriors. In
the pursuit which followed, one of the
parties came upon a rich deposit of free
gold along n of the creeks which trav-
erse the country. There are now only a
few survivors of the party, and it was by
one of these, now on the reservation at
Standing Rock, that the knowledge was
recently revealed. His story is that al
though they discovered the deposit, they
were in such haste to overtake the other
party that they were not allowed to take
along n of the treasure, although he
himself secreted some small amount of
it, which he afterward sold. Afterward,
the Indians entered into treaty with the
government, and so a return to the place
was impossible, and, a years passed,
many of the Indians who knew of it had
died. Not long ago, however, the Indian
in question made known his story, and
asked to be allowed to go back and
search for the lost treasure. He was
taken out, but, in the years which had
passed, his memory had become i'm
paired, and although he could follow the
old trail for a certain distance, he was
unable to locate the exact spot. Even
now there are several explorers in the
region in question who have implicit con-
fdence in the story of the Indian, and they
are pursuing the search along the region
through which the war party travelled,
as nearly as it Is remembered by the
Indian, who is nov quite old, and whose
recollection is indlstinct. 1t may be that
in the years which have passed, changes
have occurred. in the face Of the region
which have covered the deposit from
sight, and altered the general aspect of
the locality so as to make the exact spot
unrecognizable. But at any rate, those
who have heard the story of the Indian
are pursuing a careful search, in the
hope of finding the deposit which is SAID
to have been . nearly twenty years
ago.
