Canadian Indians from the Rainy Lake district, who were visiting at Standing Rock, in this state. They were returning home when this unfor tunate shooting occurred. One of the Indians, named Adam Martin, was arraigned before Justice Honey of this place, charged with murder. State's Attorney Meyers and Col. E. Smith Peterson appeared for the state and the Hon. John H. Owen defended the accused. The evidence developed that the deceased had insulted and abused the squaws and that he was repeatedly driven away and was finally shot by Martin in self defense. The masterly plea made by Attorney Owen provoked loud applause in court and the justice discharged the defendant. The women and children of the party were well cared for by the ladies of this city.

Four harvest hands on their way to Carrington from Enaerlin in a Soo boxcar, were robbed by two men with big guns who lined the laborers up against the side of the car. While one man kept the gun held on the four the other went through their victims, clothes and secured $46 in money. Net content with that amount of plunder the four were compelled to take off their shoes and stockings, thinking more coin might be concealed there, but nothing was found. The robbers jumped off at a station this side of Enderlin and locked the car door. A brakeman released the men at Kensal. One of the men saved a five dollar bill by concealing it in his mouth. Officials Not at Fault. The Bismarck Tribune has the fol lowing in regard to the article in the Alert a few days ago about insurance companies from outside the state not paying farmers promptly: "With regard to the above criticism from the Jamestown Alert, an investi gation of the matter at the state in surance department would indicate that the insurance officials of the state are not at fault. The policy and agree ment of the Minnesota company show that the farmer who insures is not re quired to pay an assessment until Oct ober 1st. and the companies have sixty days in which to settle after that time. As this is part of the policy agreement, certainly the state insur ance department has nothing to do with enforcing the payment of losses sooner than the limit fixed and agreed to. A mutual company must first levy and collect assessments before it can pay. All mutual companies are given sixty days in which to settle their obligations after October 1st, and the policy so states. "An inspection of the records dis closes the fact that the losses sus tained (by all foreign companies doing business in this state)" in Stutsman county for the year 1902 do not exceed $2,300, a very small amount for any company to pay. The Tribune agrees with the Alert that there should be more stringent laws passed regarding mutual companies. They should be required to make a deposit with the state in order to protect those who in sure with them." Musical Club Program. The musical club met Satur day at 3 p. m. with Mrs. B. P. Tilden.

CONFERENCE WITH SARGENT Former Head of Locomotive Firemen Has a Long Talk With the Chief Executive in Regard to the Situa tion—Latter Urges That Miners Re turn to Work and Promises to Ask Congress to Investigate Complaints. Washington, Oct. 7.—Commissioner General of Immigration Sargent had a long conference with the president re garding the coal strike. Commission er Sergent, from his long connection with labor organizations, is fully in formed on the question and it is un derstood that he will work along the lines of the plan that is now being considered for bringing the strike to an end. As stated in these dispatches this plan is to have the miners return to work with a pledge from the presi dent that he will appeal to congress to examine into the justice of their com plaints and remedy^ them so far as lies in the power of the legislative branch of the government also that it be suggested to Governor Stone of Pennsylvania that he cause the Penn sylvania legislature to make a similar inquiry. Mr. Sargent left Washington dur ing the afternoon. It is believed here that he will meet President Mitchell in Philadelphia and lay before him the president's hopes that the miners may see their way clear to end the strike. CONGRESS MUST ACT. Coal Strike Situation Becoming a Na tional Issue. Washington, Oct. 7.—The anthracite coal strike is fast assuming the pro portions of a national issue and it will eoon become one of the political is sues. This is the opinion of the most conservative men in Washington. In this instance the coal subjects fits in with trusts. And as a result of the Btrike anti-trust legislation will, it is believed, be pushed ahead ten years. Members of congress realize that the people are very much aroused over the high price of coal. They know that the people will favor action by congress calculated to prevent a re currence of if not to alleviate the present situation. One week of cold weather, when rich and poor alike are compelled to live in unheated houses will create enough public sentiment to force legislation even in the short ses sion beginning in December. But even should there be no legislation it is mtfrally certain that there will be an investigation into the merits of the situation and into the workings of the combination of railroads which con trols the anthracite coal fields. Whatever may be thought of the propriety of attempts to control by legislative enactment mere combina tions of capital it is held by lawyers in the department of justice that there is no question as to the propriety and the power of the federal government controlling railroads. The coal trust will be found, on inquiry, to be mere ly a matter of coal transportation and it can, therefore, be reached much more simply than the majority of trusts. ON A MYSTERIOUS TRIP. President Mitchell Leaves Wilkes barre Unexpectedly. Philadelphia, Oct. 7.—The belief prevails in railroad and coal circles that the mysterious disappearance of President Mitchell from Wilkesbarre foreshadows an important develop ment in the coal strike situation. It was rumored that the man with whom Mr. Mitchell conferred in this city a week ago was Martin Maloney, a close friend and business associate of P. A. B. Widener, and the call made during the day was for the purpose of again seeing Mr. Maloney. Nobody was able, however, to locate Mr. Mitchell. Another rumor was to the effect that he went direct to Washington. Governor Stone was closely watched at Harrisburg by those interested in the settlement of the strike hut he gave no outward sign of any unusual movement In this direction. Tt% Woodcliaek. Perhaps no wild animal Is more fa miliar to country people than the wood chuck. Every hillside and meadow is dotted with the small piles of earth which mark the doorway to his home. The woodchuck prefers a hillside or a knoll in which to dig his hole, for here he can easily make the end of his den higher than the beginning, thus avoid ing the danger of being drowned out. What could be more unlike in general appearance than a woodchuck nnd a squirrel? Yet they are cousins, both belonging to the same family of mam mals. The trim body, sharp claws and agility of the squirrels make it possi ble for them to lead an arboreal life, jumping recklessly from branch to branch, while the flabby form and short legs of the woodchuck better adapt him for digging than for run ning or climbing. The nature of the food of the wood chuck is such that he cannot lay up stores as the chipmunks do, nor is it of such a kind that it can be obtained during the 'winter. The case of this creature during the winter seems to be. therefore, one of "sleep long nnd soundly or starve." During the win ter's sleep or hibernation life processes go on very slowly. Breathing is re duced, and the heart beats become so slow and feeble that they cannot be felt. They come from their winter's Bleep about March 1 in New York.— Country Life In America.

New Orleans, Oct. 7.—New Orleans continues to walk or ride in ram shackle wagons from place to place. There is no change in the strike situ ation. The order of the mayor to the company to run its cars at 9 a. m., which was recalled, doubtless pre vented violence and gave the public reason to hope that a truce and a resumption of traffic was in sight. Chief of Police Journee, who had is sued orders to his entire force to hold themselves in readiaess to protect the cars of the company, said that the withdrawal of the mayor's order was entirely justified by conditions which had developed after it was sent.
