The N. p. Fiqht.

During the past week there has been
wild excitement. in Wall Street over
Northern Pacific stock. On Wednesday
N. P. common stock scared to l8o and in
the mad rush that followed fortunes we're
lost by the little fellows.
All kinds of rumors are floating around,
and some venture the assertion that the
Harriman-Standard Oil party have
wrested the control of the N. F. from the
Hill.Morgan faction. In this connection
the Pioneer Press, always conservative,
remarks editorially: @
The Pioneer Press, in commenting the
other day on certain Wall street rumors,
ventured to remark that the Hill Morgan
combination owned an controlled "a safe
majority Of the stock of the Northern Pa
cihc, and that it was not in the power of
any hostile interests to wrest that con-
troll from them. Notwithstanding that,
under the temptation Of the extraordinary
prices offered, some of those in the COM
bine may have sold out to the Hartman
coterie, we are inclined to think that this
is still so, and that secure in his control
of the Northern Pacific Stock it is true,
as MIR. Hill says, that he has not been a
party to the struggle to get possession of
any more of the stock.
We are inclined to think that when the
smoke has cleared away from the battle
field the Hill Morgan combine will be
found in full possession of the fort, and
this Notwithstanding the positive asser-
ton attributed to the brokers operating
for the Hartman interest that thew have

to explain matters. Mr.. Russell, who,
by the way, is an excellent engineer and
was employed for many years by the

adopted. for the sake of helping property

doing this it was necessary to increase

Romance In Real Life.

Romanticindeed was the news which
to light this week nregard to ]. P.
Moon and his late correspondence with
and meeting Of Dolly Bressler who ar
rived in Dickinson the morning Of May
? and registered at the st. Paul house
under the name as given above.
Dolly, a fairly COED looking young miss
of az summers, made no secret of her
affairs. She stated that Mr.. Moon had
written her that he wal wealthy and
wanted a fair companion to help him
spend his money; and from the photo
graphs she had received from him she
thought that he was not SO bad looking.
But when Dolly came to meet Mr.. Moon,
the first Of the week when he came in
from w. T.. Hendren's sheep ranchl she
was soon possessed of a homesick feel
ing and decided that she did not want to
marry Mr.. Moon, although he had had
a fresh shave and talked his very best.
She asked the old plainsman for money
with which to get home with, but he re-
fused saying that it was not a part of the
contract.
Dolly then made her hitherto secret
known to her father who took the first
train to Dickinson, arriving Thursday
morning.
1t appears that Dolly had claimed on
her arrival here that she was from Los
Angeles and that her father, Rev. Mr..
Nolan, had died when she was 3 years OF
age, and that her mother subsequently
married a Mr.. Bressler. Whether this
be correct r not, the supposed father,
who strongly resembles the girl, came
from Coshocton, Ohio, stated that his
name was Bressler and that he was a
manufacturer Of soda water at the above
named place. The man stated further
that Dolly had recently been married,
had trouble with her hubble" and ran
away to Dickinson. He did not appear
to care very much about the matter, and
from all that can be gathered there must
be something peculiar about the affair.
THE Press has been, informed that
Mr.. Moon claims to have known Dolly
when a girl in California and that her
family knew him: He advanced her car
fare to come out here and feels some
what disappointed that Dolly should
have changed her mind.
