O.CEER COINCIDENCE. Republican Officials Desert Their Posts to Fight Each Other. Editor Argus-Leader: Republican politics must be in a desperate condi tion when the register and receiver of the Chamberlain land office, representing different factions of the party, desert their business to attend the Madison convention.

One was elected a delegate and went to attend the convention, and the other then got leave of absence from Washington so he could go and knock out the delegate.

ROBBED THE GOVERNMENT. Arms and Amm.nltlou Taken From Western Fort and Sold to Citizens. Buffalo, July 26. Private Johnson, of the Sixth cavalry troop, and who is found guilty of stealing a number of guns and pistols from the government at the fire at Fort McKin-ney last April, and who was confined in the guard honse but escaped, is again in confinement. Johnson was confined in a strong cell in the guard house and had steel shackles on his ankles.

By the aid of members of the gang he was furnished with a punch, with which he drove the rivets from his shackles, removing them, and, crawling under the floor of his cell, the door of which was nnlocked, he walked out A number of other soldiers were in the gun theft and it was they who aided Johnson to escape, fearing his information on them. Another soldier who was lately arrested for complicity in the affair has made a confession to the post authorities. It appears from his confession that there was a regular organized band of soldiers, working nnder toe Irwtruation or civilians, wno were" banded together to be run down to Fort McKinney, Arms and ammunition were the plunder most desired, as there was a general demand for them throughout the country since the invasion of the cattlemen lant April. Careful investigation resulted in the discovery of a number of citizens who were in the plot. Old papers for sale at this office IS cents per hundred The Petrified Remains of a -Freht-torle storekeeper" Found Xear Rapid City.

Under the head of "Another Petrified Fake," the Rapid City Journal has the following: Two prospectors moseying along the banks of Beaver creek last week made a discovery that will agitate the scientific world to its foundation. It was a petrified man, presumably a prehistoric storekeeper who didn't believe in advertising. His shoulder blade was protruding where the action of the water bad caved in the bank. He was quite dead and no attempt at resuscitation was made, and we understand that as yet there has been no inquest. De ceased was not a giant, although he probably lived in those He was a husky fellow of about six feet one in his socks, and well proportioned.

His forehead is retreating, or rather retreated. One arm is gone and part of a leg, but he had a eriin determination that his stomach should not escape, and his last act apparently was to place his left hand over it and hold it in place. Nothing was found by which he could be identified. There was a scar on the leftside of the head and tbat points to foul play, and tbat and the absence of any money leads us to think he was slaughtered for his stufl. Mr.

Bronte we understand has purchased the corpse for $2,000, 500 in cash and the rest in Pierre real estate. STOLE HALF THE RECEIPTS. Missouri Far 1 Bo Conductors Have Not Ileen Dividing- Up Square. Kansas City, July 26. Within ten days every passenger train running over the Missouri Pacific system will carry a collector, and the functions of the conductor will not number among them that of attending to the revenue of the road.

Owing to rumors of steals which have prevailed for months and the recent culmination of events the officials of the line in question have decided to adopt most heroic measures and put collectors on their trains. Since the discovery of this system of stealing by the joint work of the passenger agents and the conductors the local ticket sales on the Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and Rock Island have doubled. The passenger agents who were caught conveying passengers to the implicated conductors have not yet been discharged, but as soon as the detectives get all of their evidence together the ax will fall. Other roads have not decided whether to adopt the Missouri pacific's plan and put on collectors or hire an entire new force of conductors and passenger agents. Treasurer Brodhead Dead.

All drank freely, and soon a dispute arose between two of the men as to which of the wedding gifts was the most valuabie. They came to blows, and Lipski. who was just passing through the room with his bride, stepped forward to part the men.

Then the row became general, and knives and revolvers were used. One of the shots struck the bride in the side and she fell to the floor where she was trampled upon by the fighters. The neighbors summoned the police, who surrounded the house and arrested all who had not in the meantime fled. Mrs. Lipski and her wo brothers were seriously wounded.

Lipski was stabbed in many places but none of his wounds are considered serious. Many others were cut but were carried home by their friends before the police.

Denver, July 2b Preparations for the entertainment of the twenty-fifth triennial conclave of Knights Templar are rapidly coming to a focus, and by the time the conclave opens the city will have on its best dress. It is estimated the conclave will bring 100,000 people to the city, and this, together with the cut rates on the Santa Fe road, will add many more thousands to the population. The probability is that the twenty-fifth triennial conclave will be the last consolidated meeting of Templars in America, For a quarter of a century the sentiment against such a large gathering has been gaining strength in the rank and file of the organization, and it is the general impression that the Denver encampment will conclude the series, which for seventy-five years has witnessed a growth unparalleled in modern times. Small poi at Gretna. Winnipeg, July 26.

Seven cases of smallpox are reported at Gretna, a town on the Canadian side of the United States border.

Allen C. NoyeB, a farmer living about four miles north of pell Rapids, lost sixteen head of cattle supposed to have been poisoned. The cattle were mostly two and three year old steers. They were in a pasture about two miles from his borne farm. The whole herd numbered forty-five bead, and it is feared the loss may be greater, as several bead are sick end it is thought will die.

The pasture fence was cut in several places and the attle near a pond of water when found, where salt bad been scattered mixed with Paris green. We are in hopes that later investigation may prove to the contrary what now appears to have been an act of malicious intent on the part of some fiend in human shape. Crod grant that such a person does not live in our midst. A WASTAROLY ACT. Poisoning ot a Herd of Cattle for Personal Spite.

Special to the Colman, July 26. One of the meanest and most cowardly acts tbatbas come to light in Moody county was perpetrated on the farm of Cbas. Noyes, ten miles flouth of here last week. On Saturday Mr. Noyes found several head of cattle in his pasture that were sick, and also found a few dead ones.

Upon making an examination of the pasture be found several little piles of salt that were mixed with Paris green. The cattle had eaten the mixture and been poisoned. By Sunday morning fifteen had died, nd probably nearly as many more will die. It seems that some one having a grudge against Mr. Noyes had used this method of venting their ire, and if caught they should be "strung up." HELD lTP.

A Turner County Farmer Relieved of His Wealth. Special to the Argus-Leader. Parker, July 26. Mr. Plucker, who lives about seven miles east of here, was returning last Friday evening.

When about five miles from town he was held up by two men. One grabbed his team and the other attempted to take his valuables. Mr. Plucker resisted and the fellows becoming frightened left him unharmed. There seems to be a gang of these fel lows operating in this county.

Only a few days ago a citizen of Centeryille was held up and robbed oi oUt). iney should be hunted down and dealt with according to law. OX THE MOVE. Lower Brnle Indians Start Out for Rosebud Agency They Are Xot Wanted There. Special Argus-Leader.

Chamberlain. July 26. A large portion of the Lower Brule Indians have Again carried out their long desired object and packed up their grips and started for the Rosebud reservation. Maior Wright, however, with his Indian police, will unquestionably turn back the crowd, as it does not appear to be the desire of the Rosebud Indians to have them This portion of the Lower Brules have never been perfectly satisfied with their old reservation, and it is difficult to imagine how the matter will be settled as they declare that they have drawn their last rations at the Lower Brule agency, and that they will not come back. BOOHIXtt RAPID.
