A man named James Gray, living four miles north of
Glenullen {sp}, was last week attached by a couple of Indians, probably from the
Fort Stevenson agency and nearly killed. He struggled desperately for his life in a hand to hand conflict with both of them and finally drove them off and it is thought killed one. There should be no delay in finding out who these Indians are and bringing them to justice. A case of this kind allowed to pass unpunished, may sow the seeds of many murders. Instant and condign punishment for misdeeds is the proper way to discipline Indians as well as whites.

One of the twin babies of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Larson, who reside in
Cartwright, was drowned in a tub of water Thursday afternoon. It is said that Mrs. Larson had just stepped across the street to the butcher shop to get some meat and on returning went around the corner of the house to see where the children were and found little Robert dead. It is an unusually sad accident as the twins, boy and girl, were a little over a year old, walking about and very bright and healthy. Mr. Larson was not at home at the time, being in
Charbonneau.

Officers arrested a stranger at Bismarck suspected of being Lloyd Scott, wanted for murder of Mabel Herdman in the Black Hills.

Clue to the Murderer.
Sheriff Plunkett is expecting two photographs this morning of men held for identification as Lloyd Scott, supposed to be the murderer of Mrs. Mabel Herdman. One is at Bismarck, N. D., and the other is at Sandstone, Minnesota. The authorities at Bismarck think they have the right man without any doubt.
A letter was received yesterday by the sheriff from David Oyler, of Woodward, Iowa, asking: "What is the amount of the reward offered for the murderer of Mrs. Mabel Herdman at Garden City, September 30, and is there any evidence pointing to the guilt of Ralph Lloyd Scott, as I see by a newspaper that he is wanted for the same." Woodward is the home of Lloyd Scott and of his father, but Mr. Oyler says nothing about why he wants this information. The reward now is $350, $250 offered by the county, $50 by Sheriff Plunkett, and $50 by Mr. Herdman.
