WAS HIS UNCLE
Joe Riel Says His Uncle of
Riel's Rebellion Fame
Never Hanged.

Joe Reil has returned to town and
Yesterday was busily engaged in cele-
brating the homecoming. Joe, by the
way, is nephew of the Canadian out
law by that name. who led the Riel
rebellion in 1884, and who, according
to history, was executed at Regina,
n. w. r., November 16, 1885 for treason
and outlawry.
Joe Reil, who has been well known
character in and about Grand Forks
and East Grand Forks for fifteen
years or more, claims that his uncle,
Louis Reil, was never hung for the
part he took in the famous rebellion;
that it was an efiigy that dropped
through the trap and was afterward
buried.
Joe's story, however, does not hang
together very we'll when compared
with that of at least two Grand Forks
men who were eye witnesses to the
hanging. One of these men was DR..
John Fawcett and the other Louis
LaOux
Quite a number OF lives were lost
among the Indians and half-breeds
and among the Canadian soldiers in
the Riel rebellion. A steamboat which
piled the waters of the Saskatchewan
In those days and which was several
times attacked, is yet to be seen at

Man Who Secured $1,000 in
Cavalier Post Office Rob
berry, Gets Hard, Hit.

1t took the federal jury but fifteen
minutes yesterday afternoon at Fargo
to find Sam Davis guilty of all three
indictments returned by the grand jury
charging him with breaking into the
Cavalier. N. D. postoffice, stealing
United States funds and appropriating
the money to his own, use. Sentence
was imposed by Judge Amidon and for
the three charges Davis was given six
years of hard labor and fine of $780,
He was given three years for each Of
tense, but the last two were concur
rent and three years were imposed for
both.
The arguments by attorneys which
were started Thursday afternoon, were
completed yesterday at o'clock and
after retiring to the jury room it
took but very short time for them
to report to the court that they had
agreed. Both Assistant U. S. Attor-
ney Townsend and Attorney Siam
baugh for the defense made able ad-
dresses to the jury.
Davis was accused of robbing the
Cavalier postofice of nearly 81, 300 last
April. His tracks were covered up

picioned and arrested at Minot. A
hard fight was put up by the defense,
witnesses being present from Minot
who swore that they had seen him
there at the time, thus endeavoring
to establish an alibi His acts were
such at Nekoma as to lead to sus-
picion and he was identified as the
fellow who had been around there for
several days.
The case was the most important
and interesting criminal case that was
tried at the present term of the fed
eral court.

THE MYSTERY Of 4 HAT.

Fargo Forum: Southsiders have
nice little mystery of their own. It
may develop into a murder, a suicide
or love story. Bets are about even
as to which it will be.
About o'clock last night passen-
gers on south side car saw some-
thing white floating in the river near
the foot bridge. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that it was woman's
hat with big white plume. Then
the investigation was commenced
The river bank to point some dis
lance from the place where the hat
was found floating in the river were
carefully searched. 1t was feared that
the lifeless remains of the owner of
the hat might be found.
The searchers were not able to find
any trace, however, of the owner of
the hat, neither was there any indica-
ton at any point along the river that
a tragedy had been enacted, How
ever, along the river banks are to be
found many sheltered hooks where
loving couples have long been accus-
toned to pour into each others ears
the old, oft-told tale.
Maybe the hat belong to one of
these fair spooners. In this event.
southsiders are wondering how she
will explain the loss of her hat to
mama.

The annual tournament of the
North Dakota State Tennis association
for 1906. came to !: close this after
noon with an exhibition match be-
tween Trafford n Jayne Of Mime
apolis. winner OF the state and valley
championships in singles, and Mr..
Davy of Winnipeg. The match began
at $3.50 and was being played before
an admiring crowd. Mr.. Davy, al
though beaten by Somerville in the
semi-finals in singles. is believed to
be faster than his successful opponent
on that occasion and best fitted to rub
against Jayne.
This morning the finals in the state
singles between Leistikow and Bates
were played. Leistikow winning rs.
6-l, rs. This qualified Leistikow to
play against Jayne for the state cham
pionship, but being assured of defeat
and desiring to leave for home on an
early train, Mr.. Leistikow determined
to default and not question Jayne's
title to the championship.
The finals in open handicap dou-
bles were also played. Lamb and
Collision contested with Whitcomb and
Jackson, the former pair winning af-
ter five sets had been played by the
following scores: as, GA, 4-6. Ga, Ga.
This concluded the tournament, with
the exception of the exhibition match
above mentioned.
The 1906 meeting was the most sue
cessful, probably, ever held in the
northwest. The entries were many and
the interest and quality of play the
strongest. 1t is claimed for the courts
of the Town and Country club that
they are the best and most costly west
of Chicago.
