Simultaneous Raids.

For some time this fall the officials
have thought the blind pigs were get
ting too numerous at Casselton, and
Sheriff Wilson and his deputies con-
cluded to make q raid. Three places
were selected. In one nothing was
found. In another a large number of
the real warm, 25-cent sports Of the
town had q key of beer on tap, and
were enjoying it when the sheriff
stepped in. They claimed to have
Clipped in and bought the stuff, and
no arrests were made. In the third
place it is claimed the proprietor was
caught redhanded. At any rate he
was taken to Fargo for a hearing. He
has been in the tolls before, and has
always escaped conviction. One anus
ing feature of the raid was the fact
that the proprietors had agreed to give
each other tip. The officials report
that before they got away from either
place, runners came from the other
two to warn the men. AS the raids
were made simultaneously, the warn.
ings did no good.

Booker Found Not Guilty.

Judge Amidon instructed the jury
in the trial of the Booker case, before
the United States court to bring in a
verdict of acquittal on the ground that
conviction on the indictment could not
be secured, for. the reason that the
United States law defines the crime of
making a false report to the govern
ment to rest with the person making
the entries, and not with the person
attesting or verifying the report. In
the Booker case the entries were made
by Cashier Cole and attested to by
Booker without Booker giving direc-
tions as to what entries should be
made.
The trial of the case against Booker
on the charge of embezzlement will be
continued over the term and Booker
will be released on bonds.

Americanizing tendency of this meas

Il remains to be seen whether the
Beers in the war now declared in the
Transvaal are to have the help of the
Kafirs Of Swaziland, one Of the inn
portant colonies Of South Africa, and
until very recently in close touch with
the English. who in 1884 guaranteed
the people their independence under
the control of their own chief OF king
by q treaty with the Transvaal repub-
lie. The Swazis have been allies Of Eng
land for many years, even to the extent
in times Of war Of fighting opposing
factions of their own people. Their
king, whose portrait accompanies this
paper, is savage, incapable of gov
ernment in~times Of peace, but ready
and willing to fight enemies with the
cruelty and "reminiscences of his fierce
and warlike race. No more savage peo-
pie exist than these Swazis, who are
akin to the Zulus, but natural enemies
of that race.
Swaziland incloses large triangulag
tract of low land lying between the
mouth of the Cunene river on the west
and Zambesi on the east, and has an
estimated area of 100000 square
miles of the territory, and is at present
under the protection of the Transvaal
republic. King Buno, their head chief,
gave out so many concessions to Euro
peans and Boer Adventures that much
of the. valuable mineral land Of the
:olony has been taken up by those peo-
pie, who work only for personal inter-
ests and not at all for the good Of the
country.
Bremersdorp, in Swaziland, has a
population of 500 white people, and en-
joys the distinction of gentleman's
club, good hotel and many American
visitors, some of them transient resi-
dents, who, in the course of a few years,

for acquiring wealth being at a maxi
mum and living expenses at minimum.
The people there are jolly good fellows,
and the law is respected better than in
any other section of South Africa. This
fact is partly owing to the salutary
presence of Charles Z. Meintjes, the
states attorney, the man whom the
Swazis fear more than Dom Paul, and
who is leading factor in all political
movements, and greatly respected by
King Buno, the head chief Of the
Swazis.
This Kaffir savage is always to be pro
pitiated into granting a concession by
basket of champagne or cask of rum.
Although in receipt of 6 1000 monthly
during his life, the liking" pays out no
money if a concession will be received
as equivalent, and as these concessions
are valuable they are often preferred.
When an American fire insurance COM
pany sent an agent to insure the kings
life the poor agent was much embar-
raised by the offer of 16 of his wives
instead of cash for payment of the first
premium. AS each wife is valued at the
price of ten bullocks, it will be seen that
the aggregation would have been neat
concession from the royal ruler Of
Swaziland. The most valuable of these
kingly concessions is held by the Mer-
camille Association of Swaziland, which
has free import right. A concession
for collecting the entire revenue of the
country was held by an Englishman,
who sold it to the Transvaal govern
ment for 100000, and during the four
years he held the concession he levied
taxes to the utmost on those who had
means to pay.
The Swazis, says the Chicago Times
Herald, being tribe of Kahirs, also re-
lated to the Zulus, like them, fight with
the spear and assegai, which two war
implements they are early taught to
use with cruel accuracy. When a Kafir
or Zulu returns from war he is expected
to bring his assegai with him and lay
it before his dwelling to show his peo-
pie that the enemy could not take it
from him. It will be recalled that the
last prince imperial of France, Eu-
genie's fatherless boy, was killed by the
assegai of Zulu in the English and
Zulu war, to which the young prince
gallantly volunteered to go with his
English friends. It is more than prob
able that in hand to hand encounter
the Swazis will discard army rifles for
their beloved assegais.
