Duel on>the Bridge.

A correspondent of the Pioneer Press
in speaking of some frontier experiences,
gives an account of a fight between Vwo
workmen on the big Missouri river
bridge, which will be remembered by
many in this city, as follows: "The
other duel took place on the trestle of
the big Missouri bridge between Bis
marck and Mandan in 1881. Several of
us were sitting on the upper deck Of a
steamboat at the Bismarck landing,
when our attention was attracted by the
confusion among the workmen on the
trestle which was on the opposite side
of the river, and perhaps half a mile
away. We watched the men for a..few
moments and soon we saw some dark
object fall from the trestle to the rocks,
seventy feet below. Investigation dis
closed that two Of the carpenters who
had been at work became engaged in an
alteration and hot words were followed
by blows until one of them attacked
the other with a hammer, and the other
defended himself with a Ratchet. It
was ar extremely perilous place for an.
encounter Of the description which
followed. The trestle was seventy
feet in height and just wide enough to
admit Of the laying Of the rails, with a
>sspasp of q foot on each side. There
were no guard rails and below the trestle
the ground was strewn with huge
boulders. A fall from the trestle was
certainly fatal. The workmen saw the
impending struggle with apprehension,
but dared not interfere lest they be cast

Several Hundred of Them Will be
Entitled to Vote at the Elec-
tions Held There.
Such is the Latest Report About the
Standing Rock Indian, George
Defender.
Knew He Was Doomed and fastened
the End by Choking Himself
With Handkerchief.
Too Much Johnson.

The officials of Benson county, North
Dakota, are engaged with plans tt
absolve themselves from the harmful.
consequences of the proximity of ar
Indian reservation, where the indians
have been declared citizens of the United
States, and entitled to vote and be
treated in every way as full residents OF
the county. The Fort Totten reserva.
ton is located near the limits of Benson
county and there are 1900 Indians upon
the reservation. 4. number of years ago
some of these Indians took land in sew
crafty from the government, and a few
more have been added to the list year
after year, until there are 0 400 In.
dians, who hold land from the govern
ment under the provisions of the Dawes
act. 1t is provided by this law that the
Indians shall hold this land for a certain
time, and shall not be allowed to transfer
it, and if, at the expiration of the
allotted time, the provisions of the law
shall have been lived up to, the land be-
comes the possession of the Indians
absolutely, and they are at liberty to
dispose of it as they see fit.
The constitution of the state provides
that Indians shall be residents of the
state when they have severed tribal rela-
tons and have taken land in severalty
from the government. Under the pro-
visions of the constitution, 800 of the
Indians, who were holding government
land, but whose period of probationary
possession had not yet expired, applied
to the commissioners of Benson county,
in which they were located, to establish
a polling precinct for them, in order
that they might vote at the presidential
election of 1896. This the commissioners
refused to do, claiming that the Indians
were not citizens, under the Dawes act,
until they had absolute possession of
their land from the government. From
this decision, the Indians appealed to
Judge Morgan, who ordered the com.
missioners to establish the precinct, as
requested. The commissioners then ap.
pealed to the supreme court of the state
and, after an Investigation, the court
decided that the Indians were full citi-
zens within the meaning of the law,
entitled to vote as residents of Benson
county, and that the polling precinct
requested must be established.
Now Benson county finds itself in a
peculiar and unenviable position. The
300 Or 400 Indians, who have been pro-
nounced citizens, hold the balance OF
power in the county, and will be able
to sway the elections whichever way
they may chose, since they outnumber
the white voters of the county. Legis-
lative and county elections will be car
ried by the Indians, if they choose to
muster their voting strength, and there
is no doubt but that ambitious politi
clans will contest for the support of this
element.
In addition to this, the Indians are
improvident and find it difficult to take
care of themselves, and the county fears
1t will be bankrupted by demands from

from the t%restle. Tie two belligerent
workmen grappled with each other and
swayed from side to side of the trestle.
Backward and forward they reeled and
struggled, each seeking to over the
other and cast him from the dizzy
height. Finally they battled to the very
edge of the trestle and one of them lost
his balance and swung out wei the
edge. Realizing that he was doomed he
chung to the other with the frenzy of
despair, and unable to loose himself
from the grasp of the falling man, the
second of the men slipped, swayed and
fell over the edge, and with a wild cry
both men were preripitated to the rocks
below. The rest of the workmen were
horror stricken, aud peered over the
edge to see the two un'ortunates lying
prone on The rocks below, still clasped,
each in the viselike grip of the other
and stone dead. Hardly a bone in the
body of either but was broken"
