STATE "U" GROWING

The recently published catalogue
Of the State University is now being
sent out to all interested. 1t is con-
siderably larger than ever before, be-
ing volume of 273 pages. The facul-
ty list includes sixty names, includ-
ing the special lecture in law and
medicine. The roll of students shows
an attendance for the year Of 861 a
larger proportion of whom than ever
before are college grade, AS we turn
the leaves we note that the Univer-
sity now consists of six distinct COL
leges, viz: The College of Arts, the
College of Mining Engineering, the
College of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering, the College of Medicine,
the College of Law and Teachers
College. Besides these there is the
Model school recently inaugurated as
an adjunct to Teachers college. This
will be a model high school in every
particular, and it's establishment
should help to solve some of the
High School problems which are de-
manding so much attention just now.
We note that the Public Health Lab
oratory is to continue under the eff
cient dictatorship of Dr. G. +. Rue
digger. This is certainly one of the
most useful institutions in our state.
We also note an excellent plan of the
grounds and the eleven buildings Of
the University including the three
recently erected, all of which are full
ly described. Altogether the new
catalogue shows gratifying state of
affairs at the University. The in
stitution has a bright outlook and
is worthy of the patronage of all the
young people in our state who desire
higher education.

PLEAD | GUILTY !
Little Rising Sun, After Acquit-
tai, Given Life Sentence.
Peltiers Will Hang.

t BOttineau., July 3I.-Littie Rls-
ing Sun, the, Indian who has been
on trial for completely in the murder
of the Seidels near this place, was
acquitted by a jury yesterday after
noon.
There was a sensational episode
just before the verdict was made
known to the prisoner.
Little Rising Sun was put in the
sweatbox, and told that he was con-
victed and that he would be hung
for the crime. He, under the i'm
preston that the end of his string
had been reached, then told differ
ent story from the one he told on the
witness stand and said that the Pei
tiers, who are to hang for the Seidel
murder, had committed the deed and
that he had been present at the time
but had had no part in the crime.
He was then taken into the court
room and heard the verdict of ac-
quittal that had been reached by the
jury.
He was Immediately rearrested and
charged with the murder OF Miss Sci
del, one of the victims OF the cruel
deed. His trial was commenced at
once and it is thought here that a
speedy trial will be had and that
soon after the jury,..is secured, YER
dict of guilty will be rendered against
the Indian.
The trial of the Indian and the
Peltiers has been on for three weeks
and has attracted a great deal of at
tention not only in the state of North
Dakota, but throughout the entire
country.
Bottineau, N. d., July 3l.-Later
Little Rising Sun plead guilty to-
day to the charge of murder in the
first degree for the Staying of little
l6-year old Alexandria Siede1. He
also stated to the court through an
interpreter that he was ordered by
% :. -. -
Joe Peltier to kill her while Charley
Peltier held her arms behind her back
to keep her still: @
He struck her with a shot gun
across the forehead knocking her
brains out. They then dragged her
to the bed and broke lamp on the
bedding setting the house on fire, and
escaped to the woods. He also saw
Joe Peltier kill old man Seidel.
On account of Little Rising Sun
being but l6 years old, he was given
life sentence.
Both the Peltiers, older men, were
sentenced to be hung at the state
pen at Bismarck, February 9th, next.

loafers and other undesirable strang-
ers who have been infesting the city
the past few days we're taken up by
the police force yesterday afternoon
and brought before Justice Carr.
They were a motley bunch, of all de-
scriptions, and the city can well
afford to be rid of them. Today the
worst are working on the streets cut
ting weeds, with. Officer Jerden
watching, armed with a shot gun,
and it is thought the lesson will be
salutary, others being sent out OF
town, and few going to work har-
vesting.
The entire police force took part
in the raid, which was well managed.
Ofacers o Obermueller, Day, Jerden and
NICK Kechnie went down to the two
jungles, north Of the roundhouse, on
the Jim, and west of the roundhouse
on the Pipestem and there gathered
in the tramps. Those who gave
straight stories and seemed to want
work were sent out of town, but the
professional hoboes were gathered
into dray and brought to the lock-
up where they spent the night.
Two well appointed camps were
found with drawers, some fine cut
lery, kitchen utensils, shelves for
dishes, a good supply of meats and
vegetables, salt, pepper, ETC., and
were living like the kings of tramps.
They took their baths twice daily, in
the morning and evening and had
regular wash days, hanging their
clothes on the trees. They cooked in
big kettles and pots and had a long
table around which they gathered for
the spreads, seated on benches and
chairs. Word had been spread of the
rendezvous and ''boes' foregathered
there from east and west.
The police however have broken up
the camp, nesting place for crimin-i
ais, and destroyed the furniture and
utensils, and intend to keep the
tramps moving in this part OF the
state, preventing trouble later.
Five of the worst characters were
sentenced to five days hard labor and
early this morning, with long scythes
were put to work cutting weeds along
Fifth avenue, watched by Office Jer-
den. This will probably work well,
as the tramps despise the physical
labor, but Chief Obermueller says
'sno work and no food,'' and if the
tramps kick at the labor and soldier
they will be fed on bread and water.
The effect has already been seen, as
many of the tramps when they heard
the dreaded s'hard labor" sentence
have taken every train out Of the
city, leaving in all directions bring
the desired result.
Along with the tramps taken at
the camps working on the streets
were two men found drunk in the
city Monday evening. They claimed
to be strangers in this part Of the
h country who had been induced to
drink and then robbed and were Civ.

watch and prevent further gangs
from infesting the city and gathering
