Dan Cullen of Mandan, while cross
ing the Northern Pacific tracks near
the water tank, was STRUCK by a pass
senger engine and n ankle was
broken. Cullen had been drinking
considerably and this us supposed to
be the reason he was not killed.
Wiley Martin has been arrested at
Mandan for the assault upon Tim
Slattery, and brought before Justice
Moves on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon. He was bound over
to the district count in bonds of $3.50,
the bonds being furnished by J.. II.
McGillic and James Dooley.
The brief to be used by the prosecu-
tion in the Voss disbarment a has
been prepared and a copy sent to the
defendant. Among other things it
states: I'VE are gratifed to be able
to say that there is no evidence in
this record justifying the conclusion
that any corrupt money in the trans
actions considered, came into MI.
Voss's hands,
Mandan Pioneer: The attention Of
MI. Jacob Christina was called this
week to the fact that twenty years
ago, as reported in another column, he
found a hot spring on his farm, in
which eggs and nnfatneS were cooked
with amazing rapidity. He was asked
how that sprung is now? His reply
was that he discovered after the
Pioneer reporter Of twenty years ago
went home, that THE heat came, not
from spring, but from a burning BIRD
OF coal on his place. In 1884 he
turned a stream OF water on to the
fire and extinguished it That fire
burned up several thousand tons of
his coal but he has plenty still left.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

The new militia bill has been re-
ported favorably TO congress. The
bill reported is the n approved by
the conference of the adjutants gen.
eral of the various states, recently
held in Washington. An important
feature of the bill is that which pro-
vides that officers of the national guard
who have been nominated by the gov
ernor and appointed by the president
TO rthat purpose may attend and pur-
sue a regular course of study at a
military school or college in the
United States. The pension laws are
extended to cover the case of all Of
ficers and men disabled while in the
service and to their widows and or
phans. 1t provides for the same or
%ganization, armament and discipline
of the national guard as is prescribed
for the regular army. 1t provides
that the national guard shall be equip
ped with the service magazine rifles
and carbines and all the equipments
and other accoutrements which are
in use in the regular army, without
expense to the states. this equipment
to remain the property of the United
States. and to be annually accounted
for by the governors of the respective
states and territories. The payment
to the different states and territories
of their proportion of the annual APP
preparation made by congress for
equipping the militia is put under the
supervision of the war department by
making it a prerequisite that the ma
tional guard is sufficiently armed, uni
formed and equipped for active duty
in the field, and in addition shall dur
ing the year next preceding have par
ticipated in practice marches or gone
into a camp of instruction at least
five consecutive days. The secretary
of; war is authorized to have inspec-
,tions made yearly to ascertain If the
conditions of the bill are complied
with by the state officials. The an
nual appropriation for the benefit of
the militia heretofore has been avail
able only for arms, ordnance, quarter
masters stores and camp equipage.
The new bill makes the appropriation
available for the payment of subsis-
tence and transportation of such por-
ton of the organized militia as shall
engage in actual field or camp service
for instruction. Is

in 1890. Last year the exported
horses numbered S2,25O, of which 3D.
49, went to South Africa. This steady
market has brought prices up to
where ii is once more profitable to
breed and raise good animals. On
rising prices, farmers are slow to sell,
and agents Of exporting firms are find
ing it hard work to fill orders.
The Glendale Record contains the
following: "It is rumored that Hon.
Tom Marshall has procured for the
industrial school the $4,000 that is
needed for immediate use in improve
ments necessary to accommodate the
needs of the school. Tom Marshall
may be set down as the father Of the
Glendale state industrial school. He
procured the first act of the North
Dakota legislature that made it pos
sible to start the institution going,
and has ever since had his eye on it's
struggle for existense. Now, that the
institution needs money for addi-
tional buildings and school material,
he is again in THE breach, and rescues
the school from its difficulties"

FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN.

Albert Saunders who pleaded gull
ty TO uttering forged drafts at Cas-
selton was sentenced by Judge Pol
lock to five years in the state peni-
Tertiary. Saunders method was to
negotiate for the purchase Of high
grade horses and get the seller Of the
horses to inhorge drafts which he
afterward negotiated. He had pur-
pursued the same scheme in Kentucky

1t is again profitable to breed good
horses. Advance sheets OF the forth
coming report OF the department of
agriculture show some encouraging
statistics regarding the horse market.
The horse market took a fearful turn-
bic from 1890 ITO 1892, not beginning
to revive until 1897. This quicken
ing was due to a large export demand,
which resulted in the shipment OF
1882 horses in 1891 as against 3,5O1

No doubt Editor Winship will be
.agreeably surprised and gratified to
read in the Mandan Pioneer a cordial
Endorsement of his appointment as
register of the land office at Grand
Forks. Editor Turtle is satisfied that
man who has fought for principle
for as many years as Winship has, is
justly entitled to the best a grateful
government has to offer. Tuttle calls
attention ITO the fact that when Bryan
and free silver threatened to over
whelm the land, there were only two
light houses in the state of North Da-
kota to warn travellers, adrift in the
storm OF ideas and opinions, of the
rocks that lay in the direction of free
silver, and these were the Grand Forks
Herald and the Mandan Pioneer. 1t
is indeed gratifying to the smaller fry
of the state to learn what these giants
OF intellectual attainment think of
each either. We may look now for a
tender effusion in the columns of the
Herald to the editor of the Mandan
Pioneer. Certainly Register Winship
will be able to do no less. For Edi-
tor Edwards of the Fargo Forum, how
ever futile has no word Of ~consola-
tion or coincidence. By Inference he
congratulates the president upon turn
ing down the major in his quest for
job. We do not know how the major
stood upon the free silver question
when Tuttle and Winship were en-.
gagged in their solitary task of stand
ing guard over the United States tt
keep 1T from going to the bow-wows
Possibly he Wobbled a little. That
being the case, he is not in the TuttIe.
Winship class and had he been wise
he would not have expected anything
from the government and would have
staid ait home.

CITY TO BUY BLOOD HOUNDS.
Des Moines Officials to Be Instructed
to Buy Them,

Des Moines, April 22.-At meeting
of the city council Alderman Van Dyck
introduced resolution instructing the
mayor and chief of police, when they
attend the meeting of the chiefs Of
police at Louisville, to go over to Lex.
ington and purchase at least three
good bloodhounds. The dogs are to be
used in tracking criminals in .Des
Moines and the price to be paid must
not be more than $500. The council
referred the resolution to the commit.
tee of the whole.
The resolution to invite Dom Paul
Kruger to Des MONIES on his coming
visit-to this country also went to the
committee of the whole.
Alderman Van Dyck introduced a
resolution apropriating $500 to be of.
fered by the mayor as reward for the
arrest and conviction of the murderers
Of the Peterson children. AS the coun-
Gil has no legal authority to offer
reward, Alderman brereton offered as
a substitute motion to appropriate $500
to be used as the mayor might see
fit in necessary, expenses connected
with efforts to find the murderers. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.

NOTHING NEW is KNOWN.
All Murder Clues Prove Barren Of
Results.

Des Moines, April 21.--No new dis
closures have been made in the In
vestigation Of the murder Of Lena and
Tommy Peterson, and it is becoming
evident that the detectives have about
abandoned hope Of running the GRIM
inals to cover for some time, at least.
Two or three men have been placed
in positions to keep watch for any
clues that may develop in certain To-
calities during the next three or four
days.
Otherwise the detectives who have
been working continuously since Sum
day night, seem disposed to rest on
their oars, and beyond investigating
several clues called to their intention,
they are doing very little. Chief
Bracket received a telegram from
Walnut stating that suspicious negro
had been seen to pass through that
town in the morning, but beyond the
statement that the colored man "look-
ed suspicious, there was nothing to,
connect him with the crime, and the
chief, wired back reply stating that
he did not consider the information
sufficient upon which to base an order
for his arrest.

4Anamosa, April 81 Wesley Elkins
walked out of the penitentiary here a
free man Saturday morning after an
imprisonment OF twelve years, three
months and five days. He was met in
Warden Hunters office by Professor
Harlan of Cornell college, Mt. Vernon.
who drove him over to Mt. Vernon,
going across country. .Elkins will be
kept by Professor and Mrs. Harlan at
their home for several weeks until
they become acquainted with him and
ne gets to know the world, Of which
ne scarcely knows anything now. A
conference of his friends will then
be held to determine upon his future
work and life, but he will not do any,
thing toward working until late in the
summer. This was the first time that
Eikins has been outside the prison
walls since he was first incarcerated
twelve years ago at the age of IL. Only
twice has he been beyond the inner
guards. Once about five years ago
when Warden Madden had him escort
ed by a guard across the Enclosure to
the warden's office. The second time
was a few weeks ago, when he was
taken under guard to the warden's
reception room to meet the subcom.
mittee from the legislature.

IOWA WAR CLAIM.
May Be Reduced From $780, Down
to $5O, 1000.

=
to 5000
Des MONIES, April 21.-Concern is
felt at the state house because the re.
port of the Iowa civil war claim is
delayed. 1t was expected that informa-
ton would be received as to the
amount which the government would
refund to the state without law suit
in the court of claims before the legis-
lature adjourned. The appropriation
committees were disappointed in this
respect. Now comes the information
that possibly the claim will not amount
to so large sum as expected and that
the claim of $456,000 may melt down
into $4,000 or $4,000 award.
A difficulty has arisen as to one OF
the items. 1t has been ascertained
that the books of the treasurer Of
state show that the government has
paid to the state of Iowa the sum of
$1,062, 1882 on account Of the civil
war, the dates of payment ranging
from July, 1861, to December, 1890.
One of these items is for $3S4,274.28.
It represents direct war tax levied
by the United States governmen and
collected in Iowa and turned over to
the state treasurer for disbursement
on account of the governments ex.
penses. If this shall be treated as a
refund" to the state the state cannot
collect interest on it. This is the
point! in controversy. The total
amount may be 100000 on this point
alone. 1t is said that there are others
equally DELICATE of determination.

Transcript OF Evidence Now Before
e the Governor.
Des Moines. April 18.-Transcripts
OF the evidence In cases In which.
death penalties are imposed have
been filed with the governor in the
case OF Richard Williams and Harry
Hortman. There are six prisoners
In Iowa now awaiting death by hang.
ing, and transcripts must be filed with
the governor In all cases. OF those
filed, the hangings will be on suc-
ceeding days unless the governor in,
terposes and this Is regarded as ex.
tremely improbable, inasmuch as there
have been SO many aggravated crimes
In Iowa In the past two years that an
example is needed.
The Hortman case comes from Cher.
okee, where the prisoner killed his
sweetheart, Florence Porter, November
30, 1901. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to be hanged March 49, 1908.
The conviction of Richard Williams Is
for the murder of William Sharper In.
Mahaska county, December 8, 1901.
The date for the execution Is fixed at
March 10, 1903. The first mentioned.
is at Anamosa and the other at Ft.
Madison.
Appeals will likely be taken in all
the cases Of death penalties, though,
the papers in the case have not been
perfected. The remaining four are
Chester Taylor for the murder Of DR..
failor at Newton; Lewis Brooks and,
Albert G. Phillips, the bank robbers
who had two victims in Buena Visa
county, and Lewis Busse, who has been
sentenced in Butler county for the
murder of his wife. The date fixed for
