SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SENTINEL. We are publishing a paper in a county where not more than one in eight of the population either read or speak the English Ian guage, therefore seven eightus of the people have no use for the SENTINEL. Under these circum- stances it seems 10 us that every English speaking person in the county should subscribe for and thus help to sustain their local paper. We have many good friends in the county who sub scribe and pay for our paper. but we calculate that ten read 1t tC one who pays for it. Is this right or generous? Come up and subscribe and induce your neigh bors to do so too.

The Court Of appeals this morning
gave its decision in the case of Charles
+. Kring, the murderer OF Cora Broem-
ser, and the decision of the criminal
court whereby motion for a new trial
was overruled was reversed and new
trial ordered


In passing upon the case, the court
stated that of the several grounds for
objection which the appellant assumed,
all were invalid except one. That one
was of such a character as ninety mine
persons out of II hundred would never
have guessed as worthy of a moments
consideration.


It may be remembered that on one
occasion when Kring was brought into,
the criminal court, he seized chair and
made n murderous assault upon Jacob
Broemsor, the husband of the woman
whom he murdered. However insane
Kring might have been when the mur-
der was committed there was no claim
that his last act was anything but
malicious act prompted by sane mind.
Since the scoundrel so grossly abused
tho freedom which he was allowed,
Judge Jones determined to, adopt such
measures as would prevent n repetition
of this scene. preserve order in his court,
and protect witnesses and counsel for
prosecution from the violence which the
fellow had so loudly threatened. There.
fore, whenever Kring was brought into
court, pair OF oihandcuffs was placed up
ou him.


His counsel, in appealing the case,
put in as an evident make-weight a plea
that the lettering of the prisoner was an
invasion of his rights, as he should be
perfectly free while undergoing trial.
| Therefore new trial should be order

ammunition distributed to the men.


The company of the 1st at the agency
under Col. Johnston, moved up to the
post with their prisoner who manifested
much uneasiness. Grass was very ur-
gent in desiring to be paroled that he
might visit and quiet his people If they
were contemplating,a movement for his
rescue. Later in the evening a Catho-
lie Priest and an interpreter visited the
Indian camp. As dusk drew on the
different companies returned to their
quarters and quiet reigned once more
over our hitherto quiet garrison.

gagged in building quarters for shelter
from the storms of the coming winter,

the utmost, it will evidently be late be.

The enrolment Of the Indians at the
agency. has been completed. Nearly
four hundred and dfty lodges and over
four thousand Indians were found actu
ally present, a much greater number
than were thought by anyone to be in.
The count establishes several items of
interest, First, that Indians from the
hostile bands have been gradually creep
ing back to the protection of their agen-
cy in considerable numbers, and that in
spite of all efforts to detect and prevent
them. Another is, that under military
control and system this agency will cost
the government at least third if not a
half less to run it than it has formerly
cost under the wretched management
of Indian agents and the Indians receive
better and greater supplies.


The paymaster made bis usual visit
here last week and left on the Yellow3
stone to-day several thousand dollars
lighter ofpocket than when he arrived.


The ex-agent also departed for his
Nebraska home having few days pre-
viously received dispatch virtually
dismissing him from the Indian service
as he has formerly been from Uncle
Sans Military Service. Comment is
unnecessary. The temptations and op-
portunities are too great and numerous
for the average Indian agent to resist.

That joke played by John Grass, the
Blackfoot chief, is good one. Being
paroled to bring in Kill Eagles band,

him to send to the President for use

= Judge Kidder may be expected at Bis
marck at al early day. He comes to
visit rather than to talk and will be glad
to meet all. The Judge is one Of the
most effective workers in Congress, not
so much through his ability to make a
speech, as through his ability to make
friends and through his persistent ef-
forts, and courteous treatment of all
with whom he comes in contact.
MI. Sphinx will also visit this locality at
an early day and we bespeak for him
patient hearing. Later in the campaign,
however, we shall give reasons why
Judge Kidder should be supported by all
interested in the welfare Of Northern
