Do not fail to attend the meet- The Ulack Kills R. R. A meeting of the incorporators of the Bismarck, Fort Lincoln and Black Hills narrow gau^e R. R. was held Monday evening, and bylaws adopted and officers elected. The by laws contain some very wise provisions not usual in such documents for railroads. They may be published hereafter. The officers elected to serve until May next are as follows: J. W. Raymond, President T. J. Mitchell, vice-President G. W. Sweet, Secr«tary J. A. McLean, Treas urer. Major Newsen at the Sheridan House. Maj. T. M. Newson, our oid friend and Black Hills explorer, also owner of the richest mine in the Hills yet discov ered will arrive on this evening's coach and will deliver his drama on Life in the Black Hills, Wednesday or Thars day evening of this week at tbe Sheri dan House.

Kutzner, commissary sergeant under Lt. Chubb, shot himself this morning. He took bis breakfast as usual and then retired to a vacant room adjacent the guard house, Camp Han cock. Tbere he fixed up bis death dealing apparatus. It was a long in fantry gun with string attached to the trigger mu his foot on the trigger. With the gun cocked and the muzzle of the gun in bis mouth there was little difficulty in discharging the piece and sending the ball through the top of his head. IJe was discovered about 9 o'clock with all signs of life gone. He was a native of Posen, Germany, was forty years of age and enlisted at Cheyenne Agency. The cause of his suicide was undoubtedly whisky and debt—two bad things. Improvements About the Heart. The interest in the Heart Valley, prospective townsites, the N. P. ex tension and rich farms doesn't abate much. New shacks continue to go up, prospectors to increase and imaginery tortunes to accumulate. The Lincoln townsite has been laid with Sioux scrip—120 acres—and one hundred and sixty more located in tbe neighborhood of Girard's claim. Two shacks to one claim and two claimants to one claim are observable in two or three instances. Contests are un!y inci dents in speculative times. It gives variety and spice to the life. Capt-Wm. Harmon has taken a claim up the Heart and put his shack on. He is enthusiastic and will go to break ng his beautifnl farm next spring. His ^brother, If. S. Harmon, talks of fencing his valuable claim, and the coming season farming it extensively and advantageously. Major Sanger, and Capt. Baker, of Lincoln, have stuck, their stakes and built their shacks on valuable "lay outs" a few miles up the Heart river. O. S. Goff, the photographer ot Lin coln, has also taken a claim on the coveted Heart. F. F. Girard is building a toll bridge across the Heart on the road from Fort Lincoln and is anticipating a rushing business in '78, when tho creek rises. The fonr companies of the Seventh cavaliy recently dispatched to the Hills have been ordered. Tbe campaign has been short and blosdless the weather delightful and the time comparativelyFa srcod one.
