The Milton Globe, edited by
Hansbrough's private secretary,
believes that it was very wrong Of
the independent and democratic
state conventions, to adopt the
name of "Independent and Demo-
craft as their party designation,
as such action tends very much to
nullify the rascally scheme of the
republican legislation Of 1897,
which sought to disfranchise a
large minority of the voters of
North Dakota.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1898-10-27

The late republican rally de-
clared unequivocally for the single
gold standard. The Independent
convention adopted a free silver
platform which was never pub
lished-and then Pat and Dan
fused because "Hans," through
his private secretary, gave them to
understand they must furnish him
some Legislative votes, to be used
against Johnson this winter, to pay
for their respective federal jobs.

IT is evident that Mr.. Laidlaw,
the republican candidate for state
senator, has withdrawn from the
race. For confirmation of this,
see his advertisement on the eighth
page Of the last issue of the Lang
don Times, where he fills his
az pllcation for enrolling and en-
crossing clerk. Walter being a
good penman, he will no doubt fill
the position of clerk admirably.

SENATOR HANsBRoUGH is billed
for two nights before Cavalier
county audiences before the cam
pa;gn closes. The acrobatic feats
"Hans' at the political ring side,
both within his constituency here
in North Dakota and in the senate
chamber at Washington, are a
sufficient guarantee of his ability
to give each wing Of the joint stock
republican aggregation a fine bill
of attractions. In bis campaign
OF two years ago "Hans'' didn't
know where he was at and he is
still a wanderer in the same politi-
cal labyrinth as Of yore.

The fact that Hansbrough's
private secretary is up in arms
against the selection of james
Dobie, as the democratic nominee
for the Legislature, will insure that
gentlemnn's election. Dcnnet's
bi-annunl tours through Cavalier
county always begets big demo-
cratic majorities.

FEW INDIANS ON WAR PATH.

Walker, Minn., October 9-When the
troops reached the agency they found that
the friendly Indians had maintained a
picket line covering the whole line of
woods which surrounded the settlement.
As many as so of the Indians have done
picket duty. Now that the troops are on
the grounds, these formal preparations
for defense will probably be abandoned,
but there will be Indian scouts out all the
time, ready to bring prompt warning
of anything that even looks dangero us.
Last night Mah-Ge-Cay-Bow, one of
the head men of the Bear Island Indians,
arrived on the agency point with ~
canoe loads Of the Bear Islanders, COM
prising those of them who are for peace.
There were rs or 100 in the party, men.
women and children. They went into
camp about five miles from the agency
and Nah Ge.Cay- Bow called on Gen.
Bacon at once. He said that so far as he
knew, none of the hostiles were killed
in the fight. AS to how many Indians
were actually on the war path, the agency
Indians were disposed to hold the num-
Der down to something under 100, and
many Of them say that there are not
more than 25 or 30.

A SENSATIONAL MURDER CASE.

Cincinnati, Ohio, October 9.-When the
grand jury meets tomorrow, sensational
developments are expected in the case OF

Senator ]. G. Richardson of Glendale.
After they quarrelled in their paper mill
at Lockland and the fatal shooting CO.
CURED September %, Haldeman remained
in concealment. Richardson died week
later and the day preceding his death,
Haldeman left for Chicago.
Learning that warrant had been
sworn out by Coroner Haer charging
murder in the first degree, Haldeman re-
turned last Tuesday night and early the
next morning was bound over for man.
slaughter by his neighbor, the mayor of
Lockland. He was admitted to bail and
has not been seen since. The officers of
this city have never been able to serve
thsir murder warrant, but the case will
come before the grand jury for indict-
ment for murder in the first degree ana
then it will be known whether Halde-
man has really disappeared. His attor.
neys promise that he will surrender if
indicted.
Owing to- the prominence of both the
Richardson and Haldeman families the
case is attracting unusual attention.

Spanish Troops Expect to Leave
Today.

Manzillo, October 8. -(Delayed by trans
mission. 1.-The Spanish troops expect to
leave Manzanillo tomorrow. Gen. Parron
the Spanish commander, will turn the
city over to the mayor. who will make
the official transfer to Col. Ray. repre-
senting the United States, on Monday.
Gen. Palron paid visit to Col. Ray this
morning and the two officers exchanged
compliments. The conversation touched
mainly upon military life in the tropics.
ALI the political prisoners here have
been released. The military convicts will
be taken to Cienfuegos and sent thence
to Havana, possibly afterward to Spain.
A collision between the Spanish garri-
son and Col. Hay IS troops, yesterday. was.
it appears, even nearer than seemed
to be the case. Gen. Parro n s orders from
Havana were to resist the Americans to
the utmost. Additional rounds had been
issued to the troops and volunteers would
probably have brought the Spanish force
up to 1900 as against fewer than 300 Am.
erioans.
The sergeant who admitted the Ameri-
cans through the city gate, has been
court-martialled. At first it was reported
that he was to be shot tomorrow at day
break. Thereupon Collector Donaldson
and the Rev. Mr.. Zimmerman, as private
citizens, called upon Gen. Parron to en-
treat him to do what he could for the
unfortunate man. Parron replied that he
was grateful for the sympathetic feeling
displayed by the Americans in the well
fare of the Spanish soldier and promised,
that if there was conviction, he would
only few days pay. AS the Spanish
rank and file receive no pay anyway, this
would be no very great infiction.

GRACE WlLLMAN ALL RIGHT.
She Belongs in Portland and Went to
Boston for a Visit.

Boston, October S.-Word was received
here today that Miss Grace l.. Whitman
of Portland, Me-, who left her home to
visit Boston, October 8, is missing. Miss
Whitman is IS years old and of Hight COM
plexion. She is said to be very good
looking. 1t has been learned that the
young woman loft the Portland boat upon
her arrival in Boston and proceeded up
town in cab, but the police have been
thus far unable to ascertain the number
of the cab. The girl was coming to Bos-
ton to visit relatives, but has failed to
appear at the home of her friend.
Miss Grace L. Whitman is one Of three
daughters of N. P. Whitman, senior men,
ber of the firm of N. P. Willman..& Son.
When in Maine Grace lives with her
father on the Saco road, about seven
miles from Portland. Last Monday night
she left on the boat for Boston, and her
sister Josephine, who was expecting her,
became much worried when Grace did
not call upon her the morning after her
arrival IN the Hub. Josephine thought
GnaG SOmeGnlng uroaului uau idpPoAoo
to her and she therefore at once notified
the Boston police department..
Two or three days later Grace turned up
and explained that she had been rooming
Just across the street all the time and
that she had not been lost. neither was
she stolen, and informed her sister JOS
phine that all the trouble she had been to
was a needless and useless waste of time.
These facts were learned by areporter
who visited the home Of the family on the
Saco road Saturday night. He found one
of the sisters at home and from her and
one of the brothers learned that Grace
was all right and that at no time had
there been the least cause of worriment.
Friday morning the sister received
letter from Grace saying that she was
well and that she was doing stenographic
work in down town office.
The family felt provoked that Josephine
should have called in the police to aid in
the search, for as her sister said Grace
is well able to take care of herself and
Josephine should have known it.
