The preliminary hearing Of the five Sioux
Indians who murdered the Spicer family
at Winona in February last is inprogress

the crime, duplicating Black Hawk and

blooded Sioux. This is Holy Tracks
story:

Of cattle and always traded some for
whisky to Caldwell and the rest we sold.
Finally we could get no more cattle, they
were too poor, and Black Hawk suggest
ed that we kill some white people and
get money. We planned to kill a family
below Winona, but there were too many
men there and we were afraid. Black

The railroad commissioners have noti-
fed the railroad authorities that they
must reduce freight and passenger rates
in this state. The railroad authorities of
course propose to appeal 10 the courts,
and the chances are, to Judge by past
history, that the railroads will win. Ex-
cept for Ignite coal, these reduced rates
will not help us in this locality to any
great extent as our freight and travel is
for comparatively short distances within
the state. As a matter of dollars and
cents it would be better for us to have
the Minnesota commissioners get to work.
However, if our commissioners win, the
Minnesota commissioners will probably
be on hand right afterward. It is really
about the first time the railroad commits
sioners have attempted to do anything
positive and to compel the railroads to
accede to their demands, and if nothing
else comes Of the suit, we may find out
whether railroad commissioner has any
power or not, and if he hasn't, it is GER
tainly an expensive luxury that we should
abolish at the first opportunity.

when about three miles from Hilisboro,
Mr.. James who had his shot gun with him
shot three plover and one fell; beyond
a wire fence. Mr.. James went to the
fence, leaned his gun on post and
climbed over himself; just then Another
covey Of birds come along and the driver
states, that it seemed to him that MI.
James kept his eye on the flying birds
and reaching backwards attempted 10
lift the gun over the fence without look
ing at it. Someway, it is not known just
how, one barrel Of the gun was discharg-
ed, the contents passing through his cuff
into his body just under the arm. Mr..
James on receiving the shot threw up his
arms and fell backwards. The driver
hurriedly hitched his horses. ran to the
wounded man, and found the clothing
on fire. He put this out, but in few
minutes the victim. without speaking a
word, breathed his last.

menin the county and has a large circle Of
friends who will mourn his untimely

WHILE working in the garden the pas,
week, some Of Mayors men dug a pail o.
nice potatoes that had been left in the
hill last fall. The potatoes had not ev.
en- been frosted, and one of the tubors
larger than the others, had started
sprouts. This gives Walhalla the first
new potatoes Of the season and breaks
all records of garden growth in the north
west. -Mountaineer.
