In answer to the hundreds OF
communications we are in daily re-
ceipt of, We have compiled the bud
get of information herewith given,
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it il not as complete as we desire
and promise to make il, we think it
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether we really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town. with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
Of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
are full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,
the points mentioned being, as will
be seen, at convenient distances
apart for camping, and having ac-
commodations for travellers.

TRANSPORTATION, ETC.
Our forwarding houses can fur
nish transportation for 2,OO0,O 600
pounds at a shipment. Freight
charges, Cheyenne to Custer, range
from 81 to 6 cents per pound, ac-
cording to kind of animals employed
and time consumed on the road.
Horses are plenty and cheap here,
Prices range as follows: Well-bro
ken saddle horses, S35 to $75 each
or with saddle, bride, etc., from SAC
up. Well-broken work teams, $10(
to $3.50 per span ; single carriage
horses, 800 to $3.50 each mules
5000 to $500 per span.
1t will cost less to outfit here than
to bring outfits with you. Heavy
stocks and hot competition caust
this. w DO not say SO because We
are paid for it but because we hav,
yet to see the man who has outfttet
elsewhere who does not affirm tina
his outfit has cost him at least q
per cent more than it would if pur
chased here.

Church, Difficulties.

For some time past there has been a
growing dissension between some of the
members of the Catholic Church and
their pastor. Father DeCueninck. Just
the cause which led to the alienation of
pastor and people we do not know, nor
do we deem it matter that re-
quires newspaper investigation or
publication. The trouble culminated
in church last Sunday, and caused in
tense excitement among the adherents Of
the church, an excitement which the
close of the day did not seem to quell,
and during the entire week the feeling
between the two factions has run high
for the membership of tho church seems
to be divided, part espousing the cause OF
Father DeCeuninck. We understand
that petition, largely signed, has been
forwarded to the Bishop requesting a
change Of priests. Father DeCueninck
has gone to Detroit for the purpose.
probably, of consulting with the Bishop
upon the course proper for him to take
under the circumstances.
| The excitement caused by the break
ing out Of this trouble was so great as
to almost eclipse that which had before
been occupying the public mind-the in
vessigation of the King-Abel larceny
case. What will be the result Of this
dissension is very hard to tell. but it is
very evident that the end is not yet. We
deeply regret that there is any such
trouble, for it cannot fail to produce feel
ings of enmity which will require long
time to remove.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-02-12

For upwards Of a week the investiga-
ton of the King-Abel larceny case drag
ged its weary length along before Justice
Sutton. The examination of the witness
es was concluded Thursday, and in the
afternoon the counsel made their argu-
ments. and very able ones they were too.
We will not 60 into the details Of the
case. Probably every body in town is
familiar with the main facts. King and
Abel were partners in the planning mill
business. The business was not profit
able, and there was trouble between the
partners, which was endeavored to be Set
tied by arbitration. Abel took away
from the mill some ma ,hinery that he
claimed was his. King claims that he
took some of his Kings individual prop
erty. Now after some months have
elapsed, q complaint is made against Abel
for larceny, and it is upon this complaint
that the Investigation has been made.
Justice Sutton has patiently taken down
all the evidence i'm the case. making up
wards of one hundred pages Of legal cap,
and has taken until Monday to look over
the evidence and the law in the case
when ne will render his decision whether
or not he deems the evidence Of guilt suf-
ficient to warrant him i'm binding Abel
over to the Ciouit Court for trial.

More Trouble ut Rogers City.

It is reported that trouble is brewing
again at Rogers City. We have not
learned the particulars, but it is the old
feud coming to the surface again. The
citizens have made threats against Mr..
Molitar, who has had charge of the bust
ness there since his brothers assassination
last summer. Fearing an outbreak, all
those connected with the Molitar store
are armed and intend to be ready for any
emergency. 1t is to be greatly regretted
that any such state of society exists:

Tho Msckinaw and Marquette Railroad

The Msckinaw and Marquette Railroad.
For months past there has scarcely a
week passed but that there has been some
new rumor affoat regarding the building
Of the Marquette and Mackinaw railroad.
As Cheboygan is so greatly interested in
the success of this enterprise we have en-
deavored to follow each rumOr to its
foundation, and if possible see some hope
in it for the early completion of the road
Last week we gave, in the correspondence
from Mackinaw, a runOr which had
gained currency over there regarding
this matter, feeling at the same time that
there was nothing in it to give any hope
for the future. 1t wouki seem. however.
that there is some foundation far the ru-
NOR, although probably our correspond
ent had not got the facts exactly correct.
At the last meeting of the State Beard of
Control, new company made rropSsi-
ton to build the road for the appropria-
ton Of lands made by the last session
Of the Legislature. The matter was talked
over by the Board, and q special meeting
decided upon to take into consideration
the bonds offered by the company for the
fultilment of their contract, and also
some minor changes they desired regard:
Ing some Of the requirements of the act.
The meeting, we understand, was to have
been. and probably was. held ON Wednes-
day Of this week. What arrangements.
1a hox
but the action thus far taken would indi-
cate that there might still be some pros
pect of the completion of the road

Charlie Bellant's Store Broken Into, and
Numerous Cases of Petty Thleving-
Tho Thief Arrested.

Considerable excitement was created
Friday morning by the circulation of =
report that Charlie Beilant's store had
been broken into the previous night. A
TRIBUNE reporter Immediately started to
Investigate the matter, but had not gone
far when he heard that numerous other
but smaller depredations had been COM
mitted, such as robbing clothes lines.
Going to Bellant's store, 1t was found
that the rumor was true. The store was
entered through window in the rear of
the building by means of cutting the
sash and taking out two panes of glass.
The burglar, however, first tried to raise
the window by prying it UP with an iron
bar. The clerk, who was sleeping. up
| stairs, heard noise and dressed and came
down to See what was wanting, as he
supposed it was some person taking an
early start for the woods and desired
something. He opened the door into the
back room and met the burglar face to
face. lie asked what was wanting, but
the intruder made no answer, but darted
out Of the house the sade way he CAME
in. The clerk recognized him as man
who had been in the store the day pre-
vious and left package there. The
package was examined and found to con-
tain some shirts and undertaking stolen
from clothes lines.
| The thief is no doubt the same party
who is mentioned elsewhere as having
been engaged in the same business few
nights previous.
OTHER DEPREDATIONs
1t would seem from all reports that the
thief had ''matle night of it." E. Saw
vile reports that his house was visited
and quite an amount of pork taken.
Hudson's clothes line was depleted Of
quite an amount Of clothing. Mr.. Hodge,
the shoemaker, claims to have lost some
pork, and there are probably others who
are not reported. 1t was reported that
| the thief went from Bellant's to Duncan,
but search down there failed to find him.
About ten o'clock, however, he was rec
Ognized on the street, and after short
foot race he was captured and taken to
Jail. An examination showed that tie
had on the underclothing stolen from Mr..
Pratt few nights since. 1t is to be hoped
that he will be kept for awhile where he
cannot indulge in any night roarings:
CONVICTED.
The fellow wa? taken before justice
Sutton yesterday afternoon, when be
pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny,
and was promptly sentenced to the De.
trOit House of Correction for ninety days.
He Informed the officers that there We're
two other men in the gang with him. and
thatsthey had been here several days SUBJ
sisting by theiving. He refused to give
any information which would lead to the
arrest of his companions. 1t would there
fore be well for all our citizens to have a
little care Of all movable articles which
are in the vicinity of their residences. and
at the same time, should any Of these
yagabonds enter their houses, be prepar-
ed to shoot them on the spot.

respondent joined the expedition Sun
day and went into camp. At that time
the order for march was given for five
O'clock Monday morning; but owing to
the severity Of the storm Of Sunday
evening, the order was countermanded,
and the expedition will not move until
ednesday morning. The appearance of
the camp is very inspiriting, and brings
wildly to mind days agone, during the
'late unpleasantncss," !" when grim vis-
aged war stalked boldly over the land.
Located three miles below Fort Lincoln,
on a beautiful table of land, level as a
floor, and on the banks of the Missouri
on the east, with q range of ceteaus on
the west at distance Of two miles;
overlooking a panoramic view that is
peculiarly attractive. Officers and men
are in the best of health and spirits,
Notwithstanding the depressing effects
of the weather, and eager to move. 80
