OF which their distances can be ealou-
lated. are among the most accurate

words the dos star IL nearly Ave hun

Promise Trouble for Militia Sent tc

ST. PAUL, MIMI, April BIT Is the
opinion Of an army official that Col. Bacon
will not have a sinecure as commander of
the Department of Dakota and 1t is hinted
that a large force of militia will be placed
