A few days since the St. Paul Globe
contained a sketch from a reporter in
that city, giving an account of the
writer's travels in the west. Referring
to his visit to this region he said, which
is conclusive evidence he has been here:
"Getting into Deadwood, I determined
to leave cattle herding, and so went into
the Pioneer office—since swept away by
high water in the gulch—and struck the
proprietor for a job. It was no go, and
I have siuce learned that unless a man
dies on one of the papers there no 'sub'
ever gets a show."

tinguished before much damage was
done. It proved to be the work of a fire
bug. In a short time two suspicious
characters were arrested, and as they
were unable to give a good account of
themselves they were bound over in the
sum of $500 to appear before the grand
jury. All is now qaiet at Custer, and
their jail population increase^ by two.

Call News.
The weather permitting the track will
be laid iato Sturgis between the tenth
and fifteenth of October. It was the in
tention to increase the force this week in
order to lay one and a half miles per
day.
After this extension is ironed the crew
of track layers "will be returned to the
Wyoming Central, and the iron laid to
Glenrock, which will be the terminus
this winter. The town at that place was
platted last week, and the sale will oc
cur upon the completion of the road to
that point. Glenrock is about thirty
five utiles west of Douglas.
The Terminus.
It the intention of the Northwestern
Stage company to run their coaches this
winter between Sturgis and this city.
The road is considered to be a superior
ono, less heavy grades, and no further
than from this city to Selbie. The railr
road company will make Sturgis a ter
minus point for freight and passenger
for the up-creek country for the winter.
This is reliable.
The above is from a current number
of the Deadwood Times, and is sub
stantially the same as Mr. Gidley said
to the ADVEBTISEH the other day. Prac
tically this mak«s Sturgis the terminus
at the ro?.d as has been claimed by this
paper from the beginning. Consequent
ly this place will enjoy a lively business
daring the winter months, meantime
building up a trade that will not vanish
with the ootning ethereal mildness of
gentle spring.
The prospect of another town being1
ushered into existence in the Hills coun
try is faint, indeed. It cannot be built
without the aid of local capital, and as
not a few of our Blaiek Hills friends have
bad an unenviable experience with boom
railtoad towns it will require something
store than the Western Town Lot com
pany can offer to inveigle them into
these unquestionable snaps. This
scheme become so transparent to the
people of the Hills that they cannot be
fleeoed a second time at this kind of a
game, which is about- on par with the
most gigantic mining swindles know® to
this age- The crop of suckers has been
exhausted, the "carp" having starved to
death at Pierre, Buffalo Gap, Douglas or
eptne other mushroom town.
