The Cowan impeachment trial,
for which Governor Burke and
Speaker Hanley are chiefly response
BILE, will probably close to-day or to-
morrow. The latest reports from
Bismarck are that Sinkler for the
prosecution spoke Saturday, Cuth-
bert for the defense Monday, Tracy
Bangs for the defense Tuesday,
George Bangs for the prosecution
yesterday. and it is probable that
the senator's are voting to-day on
the various specifications. There
will be seventy-od roll-calls on as
many specifications under the FIVE
charges. three of the eight original
charges having been withdrawn by
the prosecution since the trial be-
gan. A finding of guilty under a
single specification will be as fatal
to Judge Cowan's interests as
though he were found guilty on
every one Of the more than seventy
specifications. The "hell-roarin' :"
dailies of the state the Grand Forks
Herald, the Fargo Courier News
and the Valley City Times-Record-
are, as was predicted when the trial
before the upper house began, at
tempting the same methods with
the senators that those papers
used SO successfully when they
threw the scare into the nineteen
week-kneed sisters of the House
membership and caused them to
change what they termed their
minds in the Cowan matter. The
three papers named are shouting Of
"line-ups," "the demands of the
peepul'." corrupt senators" ETC.,
and are utterly frantic in their
efforts to bull-doze the senator's into
a conviction Of the Second District
judge. 1t seems however, that the
three crazy sheets are making no
impression on the toga men, and
that the papers unfair methods are,
if they are having effect at all, help
ing Judge Cowan to new friends.
This political move of Burke, Han
ley, Homes, Nestos & Co. will cost
the taxpayers of the state fully six
ty thousand dollars. From what
corner of the lean state-treasury
stronghold this large amount will
come is the burning question. Had
Governor Burke been possessed Of
his usual foxiness, he would have
considered that the impeachment
trial expenses must of necessity
amount to a great sum. and he could
have forestalled possible deficiency
by making another cut or two from
the Agricultural College appropria-
tions. in the manner he hit the
farmers -institute fund.

Counting the Mail.


An order has been received at all
postoffices in the nation directing
the postmasters to have all the mail
counted during the month of May.
This means that every piece. both
incoming and outgoing, will be
counted.
According to the directions. the
time required to handle the mail
will have to be tabulated. Also, the
time for distributing and clearing
up the Individual classes will be
registered. Under the provisions of
the new order. the public will have
to have their mail in the Office at an
earlier hour. il they wish to have il
dispatched by the first train. The
work of counting the outgoing mail
will mean that more time will be re
quired to get it ready; and. conse.
quently, the patrons Of the otfic,
must get their letters in the offic,
somewhat ahead of train-time.
This is the most comprehensive
order Of its kind that has ever bee
issued by the department. Ever
piece of whether letter. circu
lar. magazine or newspaper-wi
have to be counted and placed in it
proper classification.

The Linton Bismarck telephone
line being out Of commission; the
Record being unable to get into
communication with the Capital by
way OF Fort Yates and Mandan on
account Of the line being unwell'
between Yates and Mandan, and a
Western Union telegram started
from Linton to Bismarck by way OF
Aberdeen apparently being lost IN
the woods. the editor concluded to
try to get to the city by way of the
Enmons County Farmers Tele-
phone Line, by the Purintun farm
and Braddock. The last effort was
successful. and the report comes
that the first vote Of the Senate on
the question Of Judge Cowan' 5 guilt
or innocence resulted in a tie There
will be more than seventy roll-calls.
1t requires two-thirds of the total
membership Of the Senate to convict
the Judge. Two-thirds would be
thirty-three. Sixteen or more votes
in favor of Judge Cowan on every
one of the roll-calls would acquit
him. The Senate has forty nine
members.

Letter from an ..old-Timer.

During the recent legislative ses-
sion the writer was requested by
Fort Yates gentlemen, who know of
the actual happenings at the time
Sitting Bull was killed. to introduce
in the House concurrent resolu-
tion asking congress to issue medals
to the surviving Indian policemen
who killed Bull while he and his sup
porters were resisting arrest, and
also to give pensions to the surviving
widows of the men who were killed
in the fight at the time Sitting Bull
was shot. As a matter Of fact.
these men, although known as po-
licemen. were as truly soldiers as
the men who served in the sixties or
in Cuba or the Philippines. They
were regularly sworn into the SER
vice; they were obeying the orders
Of legitimate superior authority,
and there is no doubt that their
prompt dealing with the old mis-
chief-maker prevented duplication
at Standing Rock of the Wounded
Knee bloodshed, brought on by the
ghost dancers. Some opposition
developed in the senate to the wri-
ter's concurrent resolution. a promi.
nent senator being possessed Of
the idea that Sitting Bull was a
hero and martyr. However. after
the writer had procured from the
State Historical Society a copy Of
Major McLaughlin's my Friend,
the Indian" and the senator had
read the chapter on Sitting Bull by
one who knew him we'll and who is
we'll and favorably known to the
people of North Dakota, the senator
his opposition to the reso-
luton, which had already passed the
House, and it went through the SEN
ate. Recently the writer was SUR
prised by the receipt of letter
from Red Tomahawk, who was in
tine party sent by the Indian Agent
to arrest Sitting Bull, and who is
the man that shot the cunning med
icine man. The letter is as follows:
Hon. D. r. Streeter: Dear Sir
will take the great pleasure Of
dropping you a few lines. was at
Mandan week ago and met Mr..
Thorburg and he was tell me that
you have speak highly for me at the
Legislativer. Oh! l must thank you
for the. great kindness you have
done for me.
II thank you more than l can ex-
press to you.
Your. truly friend.
Marcellus Red Tomahawk. "
The letter was evidently written
by some Indian friend Of the former
Of Indian police, as the
editor understands that Red Toma-
hawk speaks but little English and
cannot write it at all. The Indian
policemen who took part n.the fight
when Sitting Bull was killed all feel
that the government has neglected
them, as they were promised medals
showing the governments apprecia-
ton Of their loyalty and bravery;
but the matter has been overlooked
from session to session. And some
OF the other lndias say to the former
policemen that the government does
not care for them, now that they are
getting too old for policemen, and
does not intend to give them the
promised medals or pension the
widows of the policemen who were
killed. A bill of this nature was
presented and passed one house of
congress. as we remember it but the
session adjourned before it was act.
ed on IN the other house.
