Farmers Hotel, corner Race and Court
streets, is in receipt of the following
discouraging letter from his former bar
keeper, z. Mott, who, with party OF
Cincinnatians, left here last April for

"KEARNEY JUNCTION, May 81, 1878.
"MR. SCHILLER-When l left your
place on the 3d CT April, for the Black
Hills, did not expect to come back SO
soon. 1 have been to Custer City, the
seat of Government in the Hills, and /
find that it Is very great humbug. Pe0-
pie are leaving here by fitties and hum
dreds. The Indians are on The war
path, and they. are killing the miners at
a fearful rate. Out of forty-tWo men who
were out at DeadWo0d, twenty-seven of
them were killed by the red devils. Five
more were killed and scalped within
three miles OF Custer City. Their bodies
were lying out there yet when came
away. They are finding dead men every
day. There is plenty OF gold northwest
of Custer City, but it is impossible to
get it on account of the Indians.
swell, I must tell you some bad news
about cur Company. Some of us sepa.
rated here at Kearney, aud ten men went
with me and twenty-five went with
Dance and his partner. Well, and my
men went through all right to Custer
City, but the other twenty-five men
have been all taken in by the Indians,
and the report is that they are all killed.
This is very sad news, but it is no doubt
true"
THE parties spoken of in the above as
having been captured are those who left
this city under command of Captains
Damon and Goehler.-REP.1
