Gamblers Who Journed to Saratoga
Were Disappointed.

New York. Aug 4.-The horde of
gamblers who rushed to Saratoga at the
opening of the racing season in the be
lief that the lid would be off and
that gambling would be wide open, have
returned disgruntled and minus their
railroad fares. They reported that be
fore going to Saratoga that they had
been given to understand that not only
would Canfeld's famous place be open,
but that roulette wheels. farobanks and
all other kinds of games would run
unrestricted, with the doors off the
hinges Several gamblers went 70
Saratoga in advance and leased build
irgs and fitted them UP with costly
gambling paraphernalia. Those and
others sent word to New York for all
of the gamblers and game operators to
come to the Springs at once.
There was I large pilgrimage to the
resort but the gamblers were disap-
pointed. They say that not Il single
game was permitted to open, and that
they were given to understand that
there would be no gambling during or
after the racing season.

AS we came near New Ulm my

AS we came near New Ulm my
brother told me the driver was afraid
to go through the town. Ny heart
leaped into my mouth and crouched
down beside my brother completely
overcome with fear. In short time
we reached the outskirts of the city
and the long looked-for verdict. death,
seemed at hand. Women running
about and men waving their arms and
shouting at the top of their voices
convinced the driver that the citizens
of the place we're wild in their thirst
for blood. Accordingly he turned
the vehicle in an effort to escape the
angry mob. But it was too late. In
an instant the crowd was upon US and
pounded US almost to jelly, my arms
feet and head resembling more than
anything else raw beefsteak.
"How I escaped alive has always
been mystery to me. My brother
was killed and when l realized that
he was dead l felt that the only per-
son in the world who would look after
me was gone and wished at the time,
that might have been killed too.

RELATES UNLIKELY STORY
George Crooks, an Indian Living
at Morton Tells of His Expert
ences Following the Out
break.
Says He Was Brutality Treated
While Being Taken as Cap
tive Through New Tim.

From George Crooks, an Indian
living. on the Lower Agency reserva-
ton near Morton, the Morton Enter
prise has secured an interesting story
Crooks was six years old at the time
of the Sioux uprising in 1862 and was
with the Indian women who followed
the warriors to the battles of Fort
Ridgely, New Ulm, Birch Coolie and
Wood Lake. He was also with them
when they we're captured at Camp Re-
lease near where now stands the city
of Montivideo. OF this capture and
the events which followed he speaks
as follows:
"The excitement of the Indians knew
no bounds when they realized they
were in the power of the soldiers, and
the scene was terrifying to behold.
Fear and despair completely carried
them away, and the impression gained
an everlasting hold on my youthful
mind.
1t was repeatedly told US we were
ali to be executed and the insults OF
the soldiers who spoke the Indian
tongue seemed convincing evidence
that all were to be put to death i'm
mediately. This brute order was
constantly in our minds until the YER
dict of our trial was given US through
an interpreter, some months later.
CATER the surrender the Indians
were loaded into old Red River carts
and started for the Lower Agency and
Mankato. The carts were small,
drawn by oxen, and it was difficult
for any more than four persons to
occupy the box. In the cart [ was
forced to occupy were two Indian
men and my sixteen-year-old brother.
We were bound securely and on our
journey resembled load of animals
on their way to market. We travelled
slow, meeting now and then white
person who never failed to give us
look of revenge as we jolted along
in our cramped condition.

1.-THE record of these trials has beef

The record of these trials has been
lost ever since. A statement of Pres
ldent Lincoln, in a message to the Sc
nate, led me to suspect that the records
might be reposing in the file room Of
the senate; and it was there that we
finally found them, after a careful
search by the custodians of the files.
They had lain untouched for more
than As years since President Lincoln
sent them to the senate

Nelson, and the latter's secretary, G.
W. Hicks of Alexandria, in tracing
the lost records.

Members of the two houses are be-
ing flooded with petitions, extensively
signed, protesting against the enact
ment of law making minimum rates
for all fraternal insurance. The
most energetic order in this respect
IS the Modern Woodmen of America.
They say that such law would prac-
tically double the rates they are now
paying.
A bill by Representative Spence, of
Montgomery, requiring ali fraternal
orders to charge the minimum rates
prepared by the National Fraternal
congress, is the special object of
aversion of the protesting societies.
Radical changes in the organization
of the State Agricultural society are

event that any county society neglects
to elect delegates, the president, Sec
rotary and treasurer shall serve as
members. The management Of the So
ciety and the state fair is to be vested
in board of nine managers, one Sc

districts.

Among the important bills intro
duced in the legislature the past week
was one by Senator Thorpe Of Will

separate banking department, distinct
from that of the public examiner, and
empowers the examiner, who is to be
appointed by the governor for a term
OF three years, to select eight field ex-
aminers, a clerk and two stenogra-

Legislative Notes.

Elmer Adams of Fergus Falls, who
appears to be the most persistent ad-
vocate of reform legislation in con-
nection with the liquor problem, thus
outlines the plan of action which he
and his supporters will pursue dur
ing the present session:
"An attempt will be made to change
the law so that county boards can no
longer Issue licenses. There is de-
cided sentiment that licenses should
not be granted except in villages or
cities where there is at least police
control.
"Another change, which we shall
try to make, is to enable the people
of every township, in which village
is located where liquor is sold, to
have vote on the question of wheth-
err it shall be sold or not, and unless
a majority of the voters in both the
township and village are in favor of
licenses they shall not be granted.
"There is also demand that the
uIIluuH llC6uSe ICE SnOulu Dt III
creased. The law at present provides
that it shall b. $500 in cities of the
fourth class and in villages. There
are certain cities which have been
kept in the fourth class because the
license would be raised from $500 to
81, 600 if they passed out of that class.
"The illwhich has been recommend
ed for passage, pretending to limit
the number Of saloons in each com
munity to one for each 500 voters, is
not satisfactory. The real effect of
this bill is to allow the big brewing
companies, which have now so thor
oughly and widely entrenched them
selves, to hold monopoly of the
business, because it prevents other
brewing companies and other indi-
yidn lie from .artino in the h,1 SipacS >,
