CHARACTERISTIC RECEPTION IN THE BLACK HILLS
VILLAGEs-PLENTY or PROVISIONS.
CUSTER Cry, Sept. 10, via Fort LARAMIE, Sept.
22.-Gen Crook with his escort arrived here last
night on the way TO Fort Laramie. His reception at
Crook City in the morning and at DeadwoOd in the
evening of the 10th was very cheering and hospit-
able. Demonstrations Oh cannon and anvils and
much applause prevailed during the day, and in the
evening there were speeches, which chiefly had ref
erence to temporary military post at the north end
of the Hills. The most convincing argument IN It's
favor vas the bringing into town to-day, on the
heels of the chief guest Of the dead body OF James
Iron, killed by Indians that morning 10 miles dis
tant He was acting at the time as picket for some
hay cutters. Citizens of the north end OF
the Hills were not unreasonable In their
charges for supplies to the half-famished troops
Merchants complain of an oyerstock OF goods,
although the northern lines seem to be alive with
people, and more are on the way. Custer City Is
now only Respondent relic Of it's youth, and any
change almost would be for tho better. Twenty
miles this side Of Deadwood Capt. Smith. with
supply train and three companies of the 4th Artll

of another train is camped near the place, SO that

BABC0CK.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The testimony IN the
safe-burglary trial to-day still failed to connect Gen.
Babcock directly with the conspiracy or to show
that he had any knowledge of the burglary before
the act was committed. Judge Fullerton, on cross
examination brought out this statement from Net
tleship: 81 never had heard BabcOck's name men,
toned in connection with the safe before the act
was committed and never had any reason to believe
that he was connected with the SAFE" Harrington
still continues to be the central figure of the conspl-
racy. 1t seems doubtful whether any evidence can
be discovered which viii prove any priyity upon
this subject between Harrington and Babcock
