Mrs. Olds will remain in Deadwood
during Mr. Olds absence.
Deadwood Press: Chas. Collins, “the
first newspaper man of the Black Hills,”
and, as he says, the first man in the
United States who rained the name of
Hancock to the breeze, is again in the
dtv. The Press welcomes him back, and
wonders if he still holds to his predic
tion made two years ago, when in con
versation with Christie, and feeling
somewhat disheartened, he stated that:
“In leas than two years the buffalo will
be scratching their bucks on the corner
saloon.*' Charley has got large interests
in what is known as Brule City, and no
doubt is here on some speculative busi
ness.
Sidney Plaindealer: “The Black Hills
and country to the west of them are at
tracting considerable attention from
stock raiserre in Colorado and Western
Nebraska. Mr. F. Held, of Platte Val
ley, Colorado, will move his cattle to the
Blai k Hills, and W. C Gregory, well
known here as one of the most success
ful cattle men of Colorado, has taken all
but 500 of his cattle to the Black Hills
and w ill drive these up there in Septem
ber. The truth is the Hills and the
country west of them offer the very best
grazing and climate for stock, and it is
being occupied more rapidly than the
public is aware of.” Yes, and Custer
county corrals them all.
Custer is getting sick—she wants a
grave-vard. We hope the lownsite will
not be taken-up for that purpose.—
Rapid (Tty Journal.
Not much danger Bro. Gossage, there
is only one or two lots left in a town site
one-mile square, and we would like to
have one of these set apart for a grave
yard. Not that we expect to base any
use for one, but we don’t want to give
Rapid a chance to crow over us in that
respect.
The Rochford Miner, of last week, un
der the head lines, “latest by Wire —
News From all Parts of the Known
World—Reported for the Miner by its
Omnipresent Agents,” has three items;
one from Han Frascisco, one from St.
lamia and one from Custer city. We
did not think that Larry would give
Custer the credit of being one-third of
the known world, but, at the same
time agree with him.
Rapid City Journal, Oct. 2: The
Chicago, Milwaukee A St Paul R. R. ex
tended its survey from the end of their
road near the Missouri river to Rapid
which they have made the terminus for
the present. The corps stuck their
stakes and returned last Wednesday
morning. When the engineers get with
in 75 miles of the Missouri they will
survey back east over the new route.
Deadwood is enthusiastic over the
Calcirhroinopticon views as displayed
in the store of Star A Bullock, who have
on hand a full line of heavy and shelf
hardware, stoves, tinware, glassware
and silverware which they are selling
at bottom prices.
The Hartford mill started up the first
of this week and after running two days
broke some part of the machinery and
sere obliged to lijjut down, thus necessi
tating a clean-up which amounted to
something over $25 per t6n.
Mr. Donahoe left this morning to
bring in the balance of Booth A Shank-
IrßcPs freight, some 80,(100 pounds of
which was left on Snake creek, in con
sequence of the loss of some of their cat
tle.
The stage in which Mrs. Butterfield
made trip from Sidney to Buffalo
Gap, Upset, resulting in no damage to
any of the passengers except Mrs. But
terfield, who rccieved a a slight flesh
wound on her face.
A Bold One—Riding and Tiring under
On last Bunday Mr. Boyden saddled
his horse and started for the Penohscott
on some business matters, and after
spending sometime at that place started
on his return trip. After riding a short
distance he overtook a man bv the name
of Scott, with whom he was acquainted,
walking towards Custer, and offered to
let him take his horse and ride on a
ways, when he could get off and tie the
ho Me for Mr. Boyden to ride when h«
came up, the performance lading known
as riding and tieing. Mr. Scott acquiesced
and mounting the horse, rode on for
about a mile and then got otF and tied
the horse, supposing lloyden would
come up and take the horse and again
overtak »h.m. Mr. Boyden came walking
along soon after but seeing no horse
continued on the*road afoot, for another
mile when his suspicions were aroused
and he started on a run and soon over
took S'cdtt, \vho was also walking. This
confirmed his suspicions, as Scott told
him he had tied the horse a mile hack.
Mr. Boyden started on the back track
and arrived just in time to sec his horse
riden by some one quite a distance to
the northeast of the road. Satisfied
that there was no use of his following
afoot he came on to Custer and secur
ing a horse, started af>er the thief ac
companied by Air. Goodin. In about
two hours they returned with the horse
and in answer to enquiries as to who
the mau wug or his name they simply
remarked that they didn’t ask him, and
the supposition Is that he is travelling on
that “broad road and through the wide
gate that leads to a wanner clim.” So
be it.
In a conversation with Mr. Smith, one
of the owners of this right, he said that
it was a right that the miners and mill
men on the Tenderfoot divide would
have to secure in order to insure them
selves water during the winter. If they
do not they have got to depend entirely
on their wells to furnish them water,
and as this part of the country hns very
little snow fall during the winter they
are liable to give out at any time. This
ditch is bonded to Mr. Arnold and
others for SI3,<KX), that is three-fourths
of it, one fourth they own already, and
the probabilities are that they will se
cure the balance. That whoever con
trols this right will have the top hand
is a self-evident fact, and if they should
wish to play a freeze-out game with
our miners, they (the miners) would
find themselves in about the same fix
ns tho«e of and Central. It is to
l>e hoped that it will not be the case
lytaA iittrxy will twil who it
will he manipulated hv. The bond ex
pire- on the 28th of this month and then
we will know who is to have the hand
ling of it. If the bond falls through it
will be a Godsend to the miners, in our
opinion, and they could then make some
arrangement with the present owners
that would secure all parties.
This ditch when completed will be
ten miles long and will supply water
sufficient to run at least four 100-stamp
mills, and with a good force of men
can be finished in 40 days.
To tho Citizens of Custer County
Among the names presented to you
by the recent republican county conven
tion, for your consideration and the ex
ercise of your suffrage, appears that of
my ow n, and it is proper for me in view'
of all that is being said pro or* con in
this connection to define my position.
I have been a permanent resident of
this county since the spring of 187* ; I
have built my camp fire in all parts of
her broad domain, and have prospected
in almost every gulch and mountain
peak within her boarders. I have seen
her at her lowest ebb, w hen tier name
was a reproach and her ultimate success
considered an impossibility. During all
this time I have had an abiding faith in
her and have labored unremittingly;
not only with my hands but with voice
and nen as well,’toadvance her interests
and let the world know what she was
capable of. For this I claim nothing
as I believe it to nothing more than
any citizen who has the interest of the
county at heart should do.
Mv claim is only this, I claim to ho a
man and to act upon manly principles.
My interests are all in this county, ex
cept my family, and 1 am laboring with
all the energy that in me lies to make
for them a home in vour midst. lam a
man of few promiss’es, hut those I do
make are made to keep. And should
von see fit by the exercise of your suf
frage's to advance me to the position fur
which I am nominated, I will endeavor
to till the position to the best of my
ability in the interest of the public, to
the honor of the county, and with credit
to myself.
