A note from Cannon Ball to the Man
dan Pioneer, says: A comely young
lady, a granddaughter of Lewis (of Lewis
and Clarke, many people unthinkingly
say was visiting here last week. Lewis
married a Brule Indian woman when
the expedition wintered on the Missouri

breed on the r%eservation) died only a
few years ago.
Application will be made to the gov

Harry Gilmore, who was sent up several
years ago for assault with a deadly

time but about eight months, and the
petition for his pardon has been signed
by the officials of the court and the jury.
Gilmore wants to 60 to Klondike, if he
can be released this spring.
It is reported that w. B. Livermore,
who left the city for the Klondike some
time ago, is engaged with a packing
company transporting goods across the
trail into the Klondike, and gets s25 a
day. He will continue at that occupa-
ton until the interior. opens up with the
spring and then he will strike into the
gold fields. Livermore's friends here
predict he will make a stake.

a number of contests before the officials
for settlement.

him a verdict of 5000 against the COM

says: Violations of the law should not
only be sent to the states donjon keep
without trial by jury. They should be
drawn and quartered. Make Winship
