PLANNING A LYNCHING.
4 Daring Scheme Not Likely to Be
COnsumMnted.

4 Daring Scheme Not Likely to Be
Contaminated.
Bismarck. N. D.-A sensational re-
port has gained currency here that
after the Indian prisoners Black
Hawk and Defender, who are now in
Jail here, are released at the next term
of court, as has been settled will be
done, and after they have returned
to the reservation at Standing Rock,
If they succeed in reaching there safe
", they will be rearrested for the
murder of Mrs. Thomas Spicer. they
now being held on the charge Of hav-
ing murdered Thomas Spicer. This
arrest would lead to their confinement
in the Emmons county Jail, from
which place the other three Indians
were taken out and lynched. If they
are ever placed again in confinement
in the Emmons county Jail it is not
likely that The cases against them will
ever come t., trial. 1t is doubted if
any such action as this will be taken,
however, as it could be but for one
purpose. and the authorities would
hardly be ,,:ivty to such scheme.
Indian traders who live on the EN-
mons county side of the river and
have dealt for many years with the
reservation Indians, have material
cause to regret the lynching. Since
this occurrence none Of the Indians
from the reservation have shown up
on the east side of the river, opposite
the reservation, and as a result many
dollars worth Of trade is lost to the
traders.

War ON Blind Pigs.

Dickinson, N. D.-The blind pig war
is now on for sure, States Attorney.
Simpson hating closed all saloons and
hotels where liquor has been on tap
by injunctions issued by Judge Win
chester. There were five saloons,
three hotels, and one ladies' boarding
house" in the jack pot, all of which
are now in charge of deputy sheriffs
pending removal of the evidence, very
little of which was found, however,
as the sightIess porcines evidently had
very straight tip Of what was going
on. Some OF our people would give a
good deal to know who the leaky in
dividual was, and there is Il strong i'm
preston that he is not far from the
sheriff's Office. The saloon men arc
breathing hot vengeance on the states
attorney, inasmuch as up to Oct
they say they have been paying him
$25 per month each for his permission
to run their business, Notwithstanding
the prohibition law, :.

Dickinson Ladies Arc Friends OF
the Boys In Blue.
Dickinson, N. D. - The Dickinson
guards, Company X, First regiment,
N. D. N. G., Capt. George Aud, re-
Gently organized here, were presented
with beautiful regulation United
States flag by their lady friends ON the
occasion of a complimentary prone
made concert and ball rendered them
by the ladies also. The flag was pre-
scented by Prof. G. H. Clemmer in an
eloquent address, and was received by
Capt. Aud in q few we'll timed re-
marks. Presentation was followed by
drill of a squad of beautiful young
ladies in uniform, under command of
the captain, who demonstrated that
the girls can acquire the tactics under
proper instruction as we'll as the boys.
The evolutiOns, as executed by them.
were almost perfect, and elected a
great deal Of applause. A picked
squad Of the members of Company *
also gave an exhibition drill in very
creditable manner, considering the linn
tied time the boys have had to drill,
having only been organized this fall.
About 90 people were present, the
largest turnout ever seen in the town
at any similar affair.
Two Of the four prisoners who sawed
their way out of Jail have been recap.
tured and are now safe in the cage.
The town has an epidemic of scarlet
fever of very mild type, principally
confined to our Russian quarter.

GUARDED BY FORTY INDIANS,
Black Hawk and Defender Are on
Their Way to the Reservation.

Black Hawk and Defender Are on
The1r Way to the Reservation.
Bismarck, n. d. - Frank Black
Hawk, said to have been the man ac-
cused by his comrade, Coudot, in the
shadow of the gibbet, of having been
the leader of the five assassins who
slaughtered six members of the Spicer
family, and his comrade, George De-
feDUer. are free men, and on their way
back to the Indian agency at Standing
Rock under guard of forty Indians,
all armed, to prevent any attempt on
the part of n mob to lynch them The
two men were formally discharged
from custody and turned over to the
care of Indian Agent GRANGE, who was
in court to receive them. Although the
law has acknowledged itself powerless
to punish the two men, or even put
them on trial for the crime they are
accused of committing, it is stated
that Black Hawk, especially, is a
marked man, and if ever he falls in
the way of any of the people of EN-
mons county, where the crime was
committed, he will be made to eXpiate
his crime at the ropes end. George
Defender will probably be transferred
to the reservation at Berthold, as he
would be III continual danger of meet
ing with violence did he remain at
Standing Rock.

An organization has just been
formed at Chicago whose members
propose to substitute a phrenologist
for Cupid The working plan of this as
sociation, which is said to have a rap
idly increasing membership, is to hold
what are called matrimonial picnics
every few weeks, at which all the
candidates of both sexes for the mar
rage state submit their heads to the
examination of the qualified officials
for the recording Of characteristic
bumps. /, After due comparisons and
consultations list of men and women
whose traits are found to supplement
each others are told off, and all pos
sible encouragement offered to induce
their speedy marriage. At recent
matrimonial picnic sixty men and for
ty women had their cranial bumps felt
by the professors. and9a number of
marriages of "affinities"' are expected
to take place shortly. A great deal
of scientific interest is taken, it is said,
in the experiment, and careful rec
ords will be kept Of each union. The
society has a comprehensive program,
including a scheme for providing salt
able starts in life for such of it's DIN
bers as need assistance. The-.devel-
opment of the children of these scien-
tif1c marriage is expected to afford
data which will be of great benefit to
humanity.

Horse Thief Sentenced.

Alexandria, S. D.-Circuit court con-
vened as per adjournment from the
September term to try David House
for horse stealing. Hon. Judge Gatrey
Of Pierre was called to the bench by
Judge Smith to try the case. After all
testimony was in the case was given

complaint. Judge Gaffey then pro-
nounced sentence of two years in the
penitentiary at Sioux Falls. Court
then adjourned until p H.. when
Judge Smith took the bench and SEN
fenced the same criminal to one year
at hard labor in the penitentiary for
Jail breaking. This ends the career
Of one of the worst young criminals Of
the county and will have Il tendency to
stop some Of the petty thieving which
has been going on for some time.

SUICIDE OF AN INDIAN,
The Mother of One Of the Lynchcd
Reds Kills Herself.

Bismarck. N. D. - A report has
reached here from the Standing Rock
reservation stating that the mother OF
Philip Ireland, one Of the young In
dams recently lynched at Williams
port, has committed suicide because of
the disgraceful death of her son. There
is belief among the Indians that any
person who may be hanged will never
reach the happy hunting grounds-the
heaven of the Indians. This is the
reason the Indians at Standing Rock
wanter the Indians shot and not
hanged. The relatives Of an Indian
who has been convicted or punished
for any crime are also accustomed to-
torture themselves to degree con
sidered commensurate with the crime
or the punishment. When Holy Track
was arrested for murder his mother
deliberately chopped off her finger,
and it is stated in connection with the
report Of the suicide of the other wo-
man, that she also attempted suicide
but was prevented from taking her
life. ..,gnitu,,, *, &s

IN NORTH DAKOTA
;nENEFIT 10 STATE.

SGpndit1Ons ~ to Appraisals Of Land
FOX school Fund Loans.
Grand Forks, N. D.-The report TINT
was sent out from Bismarck a short
time ago to the effect that, owing to
the expense Of appraising farm lands
few loans from the state school fund
were likely to be made, seems to have
created the impression that there was
some insuperable obstacle to the oper-
alton Of the law authorizing. such
loans. This Is incorrect. The law sim
ply provides for the appraisal Of the
lands, and fixes the rate per diem
which each appraiser may collect. In
Grand Forks county ten applications
for loans from this fund have already
been made, and, In ut least three Of
these cases, there were no charges for
appraising. us the appraisers We're all
familiar with the property upon which
the loan was to be made. In other
cases the three appraisers examined
two or more parcels Of land OH one
trip, making the entire cost of ap-
praisfng less than $40 per loan.
While there is considerable Objec-
ton to the law amon, loan agents,
there can be little doubt that it will he
of great value to the state ut large. as
it provides for the safe investment of
school funds, and, ut the same time.
furnishes to farmers who can give
good security, money on most favor
able terms. The law provides that
loans up to the sum of $1,000 per
quarter section may be made, the
loan to run ten years, and in no case
to exceed one-third of the appraised
valuation OF the property, interest to
be charged at 6 per cent. The borrow
err is to pay with the interest 10 per
cent of the principal each year, and,
after I'VE years. he may, IT ,he sees tit,
pay offsthe entire loan.

Canvassing Returns.

Pierre, S. D.-The state canvassing
board made q canvass of returns FROM
all the circuits except the Seventh, in
which the returns from Pennington
and Custer counties are not in regular

the canvass of these returns is wheth-.
er the returns as sent in will be cam
.vassed or new ones be demanded.
Under the decisions Of the supreme
court i'll the election cases last year

The motto of every notorious polit-
ical boss is "rule or ruin" He is in
capable of genuine patriotism, but the
laws of the country in which he prac-
tees restrain him from reasonable
acts. True loyalty to political party
is likewise beyond his capacity, and
there are no laws to prevent him from
betraying honest citizens who, as
members of political organization,
find themselves under his leadership.
So long as he is permitted to rule in
his own party the damage he can do
depends largely upon the power of his
party in public affairs. When he finds
that he can no longer rule in his party
he sets out to ruin it. He must have
a majority with him in order to rule:
he can ruin sometimes with minor
:ity. Thus, however dangerous the po-
litical boss is to the people, he is more
dangerous to the party to which he
belongs, or which he may look upon
as belonging to him. One Of the mar
wells of politics in this republic is that
craftsmanship does not, in self-defense,
overthrow the would-be party bosses
before they become strong enough to
think they can either rule or ruin.

To people who have looked upon
the Christian Scientists as small and
obscure sect the attendance at the died.
ication of their new church last Sun
day will be surprise. Ten thousand
people participated in the four SER
vices that were held during the day
and many others could not gain adj
mission to the church. Probably a
considerable number of the attendants
were attracted by curiosity, but the
larger proportion were undoubtedly be-
levers in the Christian Science theory.
The disciples of Mrs. Eddy must there
fore be counted upon hereafter rs
forming a large and influential de-
nomination and one which,, according
to all accounts, is gathering members
with unprecedented rapidity.

The wilmot-sisseton Controversy.

Sisseton, S. Don the 18th of this
month the supreme court of the state
will hand down Il decision in the
famous Roberts county Seat quarrel.
between Wilmot and Sisseton. Will
mot is now the county seat, but Sisse-
ton claims the honor as the result Of
the last election, having received a
majority Of tie votes cast on the coun-
ty seat question. Wilmot asserts that
sisseton did not receive majority of
all the votes cast at the election, and
that, therefore, no change of the coun-
ty seat can be made. Opinion is di-
vided as to what the courts decision
OF this point will be.
