THAT DITCH AGAIN.-We made an
inspection Of the big ditch yesterday,
and found it in a disgraceful condition,
the bottom along nearly its whole
length being covered with every spe-
cies of refuse. Old hats, deceased
fowls, cast.on boots, defunct kit
tens, potato parings, corn -shucks,
lifeless puppies, discarded socks and
masters and misses carriages form
but a small part of the miscellaneous
collection of disease-breeding rubbish
which lies in the bottom of the "big
ditch" Something must be done to
clear away this nasty and unhealthy
agglomeration, and if that something
is not done quickly there will be lively
work for the doctors and undertakers.
The weather and season are conducive
to disease, ven under the best sanitary
circumstances, and with such a deposit
tory of corruption extending through
a portion of the town where a large
number of residences are located, il is
only wonderful that contagious dis
eases are not more widespread. There
is hardly a probability that there can
be sufficient concert of action among
the property-holders on the line of the
ditch to C attention to the matter;
and we call upon the County Commits
sioners to do something in the prem
Uses. If they have not the power. let
them usurp it, and the taxpayers will
hold them free from blame.

KITE FLYING.-The Monaghan horde
is at its favorite pastime of kite dying,
and the soothing strains of the Chi
nese kite are heard in the land. The
heather Chinee flies a kite which he
thinks is musical, but to the ear of civ
ilization the sound emitted sounds like
the last wall of a dying coyote. The
kite is provided with an apparatus
constructed something on the principle
Of the @olian harp, but the music is
not by any means as pleasing as that
made by that instrument. There were
several Chinese kites in the air yes
terday, and their noise so annoyed a
local candidate who was trying to
think up a speech which he proposes
To deliver to the people of Fish Creek,
that it drove him to hard drink, and
late last night he stood on Main street
gazing at the silent moon and offering
to bet an awning post seven million
dollars that Vermont will go Repub-
lican.

Successive are pleased to note the
success of our townsman, Morris II.
Joseph, of the Golden Rule Store, who
commenced business here a little over
a year ago, as it were, in a nutshell, and
by energy and close attention to bust
ness, has succeeded beyond measure.
BY fair dealing he has won the conf
dence of the community and placed
himself in rank among the first in his
line. Yesterday he received a fresh
and valuable addition to his stock, and
has now an assortment which for vari-
ETY. can not be beat in this State. He is
now importing smokers goods, cutlery,
English hosiery, musical instruments
and fancy goods from Europe direct.
He has just paid duties on a large in
voice of these goods in the Custom
house in New York, which will short
ly arrive. We expect at no distant
date to see him in the largest store in
the State OF Nevada.

our men remained on the ground Sc.
curely hidden until he came out they
could have killed him, but for some
reason they left and did not return IN
til he had gone. The remainder of the
Indians got away with the greater por-
ton OF the horses. Pam informed that
one hundred and ninety-five head were
driven of, but don't think there were
so many. The murdered men were
brought to town and will be buried to-
day. One is Isaac Brown, Of the firm
OF Lee & Brown, of Deadweod, extern
sive miners. Mr.. Brown was from
Salt Lake City. The other was named
John Hollins. Thus four white men,
our best citizens, have been killed since
Sunday morning, and but one Indian
has been slain to balance it. Can it be
that one Indisa is equal to four white
mens It certainly has that appearance
at present. SLoss.

Another Story from Clusters Battle Field

Another Story from Clusters Battle Field.
Andrew McKendry, better known as
big Andy, the Scout, Z left Fort Fills
with Gen. Gibbons command ON the
LIST Of April and was one OF the party in
advance who discovered thu bodies OF
Gen. Custer and his men. Oh that day
Muggins Taylor, accompanied Ivy young
Logan, a son of Capt. Logan, Of the
Seventh Infantry, was a few PAGES in
advance Of the main body of the scouts,
when they were fred on by the Indians.
They fell back, and shortly after Lieut..
Roe's company came up and a num-
Der of Indians were seen on hill near
at hand. Lieut.. Roe twice sent back
to Gen. Gibbon for permission to charge,
which was wisely refused, and when
the command came up the Indians
broke from cover on every side, rapidly
~retreating and throwing away their
packs. A few moments after they
came in sight Of Clusters battlefield
and saw at a distance of about two
miles what appeared like pieces Of
white spar on a side hill. A nearer
approach revealed the sad fact thai
these were the bodies or Custer and his
men, all stripped and nearly all horribly
mutilated.
Mr.. McKendry states that Custei
never reached the Indian village, but
with all his men was slaughtered on
the hill, the bodies lying as they fell, in
line Of battle.
Major Ren0's commandswa found,
receiving, as has been before published,
their first knowledge Of Clusters fate
from their u A hasty burial
was given to the remains Of the Inflated
band, and the command fell back a few
miles to camp. Mr. McKendry started
the same day for Gid Fort c. F. Smith,
making the trip there and back without
seeing any Indians. He reports that
the village, by actual measurement Of
the engineer corps, was four and three
quarter miles in length, and many
blsiikets were found branded Sort
Peck" Standing Rock, "Lower
Brule, /" ssRed Cloud, y "Spotted TAIL
and other Indian agencies. He secuted
in every direction for ten miles ada
cent to the scene of battle and only
knows Of seyenty-fve dead Indians
being found; SO the reports that came
Of 500 dead Indians being found are
probably untrue.
Mr.. McKendry's estimate Of the num-
ber Of Indians engaged in the fight is
from five to six thousand, and as he
had previously spent some time at the
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies
and seen large bodies Of Indians he feels
certain that he has not overlestimated
the number, especially as his opinion
was confirmed by many others in the
command.

Horn Districts, Black Hills.
The Deadwood Pioneer of Aug. 10th,
says: Leaving Deadwood for a trip to
the mines Of Whitewood is a pleasure,
a satisfaction. All along the line Of
that romantic valley one can see on
every hand the hardy miner busily n
gagged in the different branches of placer
mining, some digging bitches, some
building fumes, ome are busy shovel
ing in the gravel, while at other points
you will find many engaged in the act
Of cleaning up the fruits Of their days
labor. These are pleasant sights to
home miners as well as to strangers.
On Whitewood we find every claim
being worked, and SO per day Is the
average to the man. Col. Williams in
forms us that. their company took out
Of the celebrated Botsford claim 15a
ounces as the result Of ten hours work
with six men. This claim is being
worked night and day. Claim No. 50,
owned by Kimball & Co., is paying
well. Claim No. 81, owned and worked
by Sutherland & Lake, is paying $40
per day to the man. These gentlemen
We found to be quiet and unassuming,
and shoulder their good fortune with a
grace. At Montana City the miners
are making rapid progress. Babcock
& Company are working a large force,
and their claim is paying well.
The gulch claims on whitewood above
discovery are paying even better than
in a part Of Deadwood. We can but
say that late developments prove that
what has been found in the past Is
being surpassed in richness at the pres
ent time. The thousands Of dollars
which have already been taken out are
as q drop in the bucket when compared
with what yet remains to be pocketed
by tho fortunate owners. An Is well
with our gulch miners. They are doing
better thar they dared axnact. and
what they will realize in the future is
hard to calculate, Judging from the
increasing yields Of their respective
claims.

A Defective Theory.

The whole theory that to tie Indians
belongs the land is defective, especially
SO far as the Sioux are concerned. They
do not occupy a foot of land that has
not been owned BY other Indian tribes,
and their title, such as they have, eman-
ates from the tomahawk and scalping-
knife, force and rapine. There
are TO regrets for the hapless savages
who have been driven from their lands
by these very Sioux Indians, nor for the
helpless wretches who have pushed
West under the protection Of our Gov
eminent and flag. Eastern people
who think themselves Overlooking with
philanthropy, when they cry ssstop"
to the soldiers who are endea voring
to punish these red outlaws, have
no ears for the shrek of the dy-
ing tmother or the moan OF the
infant as they sink beneath the arrow
Of the Sioux; no feeling for the father
struck down in his prime, or the tortur-
ed maiden. Perhaps these men are
are they totally ignorant of the Indian
and civilize the wolf of the plains as an
Indian. Force is the only means. Deal
with them as they are-men with the
nature of beasts-and you will find THAT
there is but one way to bring them TO
the. governing point, and that is through
fear. The only way to fight them sue
cessfully is by hunting them as you
would game-crawl up to them, sur
prise them, take them unawares. After
they have been subdued, then is the
time for the good people to come to the
front, and see what can be done
for their civilization and comfort.
