Already there are|Bowser and Graham Named as Candidates for Alderman From the Ward. The first ward caucus held last evening at the court house brought out forty voters. The caucus was called for the purpose of agreeing if possible upon two candidates who would be acceptable to the entire ward. When the yoters began to arrive they were surprised to find County Attorney McDonald on hand with two petitions for A. M. Bagley and Chester Snow to which he was attempting to se- cure signers without waiting for the action of the caucus. At 8:30 the caucus was called to order and W. A. Gould made chairman and D. H. Fisk, secre- tary. It was supposed up to the hour of the caucus that Council- men Bowser and Graham would not accept the nomination but it being learned that they would not refuse their names were offered to the caucus by R. W. Hitchcock. County Attorney McDonald then took the floorand in a rambling talk of some ten minutes declared that there was underhanded work in calling the notices were mailed to the voters of the ward at noon yesterday and a notice of the caucusap- peared in last night’s Pioneer), said that those who called the caucus were afraid to sign their names to it, insinuated that a majority of those present were bolters anyhow, declared that he would not takepartin the caucus (although he did to the extent of being the principal speaker), that the caucus was unfair and ought not to be held, that the charter was no good anyhow, and consi- derable more ill nature of the same character. Chester McKusick said that he was one of those who was instru- mental in calling the caucus, thay he had no candidates, that Mr, Bagley, Mr. Snow, Mr. Graham and Mr. Bowser were all good men and that he would support any two men whom the caucus should name. Messrs Graham, - | Bagley and Bowser also declar- ed that they. would support the nominees of the caucus. q It was decided to ballot and Mr. Hitchcock threw upon the table a bunch of blank slips to be used for ballots, whereupon the county attorney, in the blindness of his rage, shouted, “There you see, gentlemen, Mr. Hitchcock declares that when he' came up here he did not know of any candidates and here he appears with printed ballots!” An ex- amination of the slips however disclosed that they were merely blank ‘- pieces of paper and the choleric county attorney retired amid considerable laughter. The ballot resulted in the fol- lowing vote, Graham 25, Bowser 24, Bagley 17, Snow 10, and ITISUPTO _SENATOR CLAPP White Earth Sale Will Be Held in November Un- less He Objects. Several months ago comph;,ints were made that in the allotment| - of lands at White Earth, the mixed bloods had been fayored, in that they had secured tracts containing timber, while land that had been stripped had been given to the full bloods. An in- vestigation was made, and it is| understood it developed 'that on the 'whole the Indians were ‘sat. isfied with the allotment roll for- || warded to the department by Agent Michelet. The department officials are making preparations for their' conference with Senator Clapp' on the subject of the proposed ' sale of timber at White Earth. It is understood that the Indian officials take the position that the sale should be had in November as advertised, and that unless Senator Clapp gives goods rea- sons why the sale/should be fur- ther postponed they will adyise secretary Hitchcock to carry out the original plan.

A portion of the court house fence was last night destroyed by unknown persons, and this morning it was found that about 25 feet of the fence -had been broken down, That part of the fence destroyed islocated just outside the old jail cells that have been kept at the rear of the new county jail, and evidently the perpetrators braced themselves against the cells and pushed the fence over with their feet.
