TRAGEDY AT FARGO.
Tough and Chief of Police Shot on
the Bridge.

The Forum gives the following par
ticulars Of the shooting ARRAY on the
bridge there:
Chief of Police Murphy of Moorhead
and William G. Gray were the prin-
cipals and both were taken to DR.. Dar-
rows MOOrhead hospital, where the
physicians soon afterwards announced
that there was little hope Of the recov-
cry of either.
At an early hour Sunday morning B.
Schmidt's Palace Saloon in MoOrllead
was burglarizel and $1S or $40, two
watches and some whiskey taken.
Chief Murphy went to work on the
S as soon as it vas reported and
soon secured evidence that led to be-
lieve that Gray and his pal were the
burglars. In the forenoon he came
over to the New Fargo House, where
he thought the lei were stopping, and
told Landlord Dahlquist that he was
harboring some crooks. The CONVEX
sation became somewhat heated and
Dahlquist ordered him from the hotel.
Latter in the day, with the assistance
OF officer Dahlgren. Murphy located
his men at Mrs. Goldstein's lodging
house on lower Front street. At the
time he asked Dahlgren to keep an eye
on the men, while he went to Moor
head to find b. Schmidt,
Some time afterwards Murphy and
Schmidt came across, and without ask
ing D%ahlgren's assistance, placed Gray
INT his partner under arrest. The
men at first consented to go across.
but when they got on the bridge they
seemed to tumble to the fact that MUIR
ply was entirely without authority to
arrest them in this state, and swore
they wouldn't 60.
The chief asked Schmidt to return
and get Officer Dahlgren to place them
under arrest, to take them to the cen
ter Of the bridge so he could take them
across.
When Schmidt left the men became
more Obstreperous. Gray finally pulled
his revolver, and holding it to Mr..

Chief Bowers was driving with a
young lady ut the time, and reached
Gray just as Larabee caught him.

AS already Indicated, however, the
Transvaal has up to this time. taken a
large share of its imports from and
through the British colonies of Cape
Colony and Natal. Imports into the
Cape of Good Hope from the United
States in 1897 amounted to over $10,-
10000, out of total of sS6,0O0,00O, and
of this probably one half was intended
for consumption in the Transvaal. Thu
imports into Natal from the United
States in 1897 amounted to s3,2O00OO,
out of a total of s30,000,0O0, and it is
probable that considerable share of
this was destined for the Transvaal.

port of Natal to the Transvaal is much
less than that through the ports of

THE ROBERTS CASE.

Washington Correspondence New Y ork
Mail and Express.]
1t is evident that Representative
Henderson. who will be next Speaker
of the House, is anxious to be put in
possession of all precedents and ques-
lions of parliamentary procedure in re-
lation to the unseating of members,
especially relating to such action as will
be taken in the case of Representative
Roberts, of Utah, because Gen. Hender-
son has called upon Harry NJ. Smith,
cx-Journal Clerk of the House, for
data bearing on the Roberts case.
Harry Smith, as he is known in
washington, has made study of this
case, and his long connection with the
House has made him an authority on
the rules and procedure, and his books
and opinions on parliamentary practice
are considered authorities.
Mr.. Smith agrees with Judge Culber-
son, of Texas, who has been chairman
of the Judiciary Committee for five
congresses, and says the only way to
Ipreyent Mr.. Roberts from getting his
seat in Congress is to declare his seat
vacant A majority vote is enough TO
1 do this. while two-thirds vote would
/ he required to expel member. IL
/ .
would be very difficult to get two
thirds vote, as the democrats are likely
to make 1T party question, and vote
as unit against unseating one OF their
party.
AS already stated in these dispatches
/ the fate of Mr. Roberts will first be
brought before the House by Represen-
Itative Cushman, of Washington State
who will object to his being sworn IN
Aby the Speaker. Objection being made
Mr. Roberts will have to stand ASIDE
and his case will be sent to the COM
lmittee on Elections. which VIII be re-
ouired to consider the question of his
/ qualifications.
The committee could report resolu-
ton declaring the seat vacant. and this

TO elect another man.
