PRATRTE-D0G TOWN.
4 Christina as Story.
BY j. TOLL.

.--.- II.
Prairie-Dog Town The place il called
such, like most Of It's frontier sisters, from
the entire absence of anything looking like
a town.
It is an unshapely agglomeration of log
buildings with adobe chimneys, These
buildings are scattered without any pre-
tension as to order or symmetry on a pla.
teau, which stretches several miles to the
North and East, whilst to the South and
West it is bounded by the Shonkin valley,
which, IN its course, can be overlooked from
the town for at least twenty-five miles.
Above and beyond, far to the West, the
last rosy tints Of the evening-gloV are
fading from the snow-capped peaks Of the
HighWood mountains, of whose fabulous
wealth in precious metals and game
wonderful legends are told.
The valley itself is about half mile
wide and just now hiding under carpet
Of snow its rich pastures and luxuriant
vegetation.
t Is Christmas evening, md in the it,
tie cabin, 10 by l6, wherein Mr.. Bordeaux
presides over counter, deoanter and some
few not very clean ;amblers, have congre-
gated five men, who reside IN the 5mnedi-
ate vicinity, and who are Justine discours-
ing, in front Of a smoky fireplace, the i'm
portant questions Of the day, whilst anz-
iously awaiting the arrival Of the weekly
mail, which is due this very evening.
For i must be here recorded that Mr..
Bordeaux is the duly appointed postmaster
Of Prairie-Dog Town, fact certified to by
q large document duly framed and hung
over the fireplace
Sure enough the position does not pay
any large emoluments, but it gives to the
incumbent al the standing Of a govern
ment official, which in the opinion Of Mr..
Bordeaux seems to be ofno small account.
Nj. Bordeaux is a Frenehman by birth;
he appears close on forty years Of age and
Of middle statue he is quick and cat-like
in all his movements and his legs are
Of the sabre shape; he has grey, piercing
eyes, 8 long and finely cut nose and thin,
compressed lips, which as well as bis cheeks
and chin are covered with q short growth
of auburn hair bristling IN all directions
1is voice is sharp and Kissing, and one
night fancy his short and snappish sen
ences cut off with the scissors which he
Years dangling BY blue ribbon to . but
on-hole Of his coat.
To never agree with any ones PROPOSE
ion IS one Of the characteristics Of Mr..
Bordeaux character, and be has 50 identi-
led himself with contradiction, that his
oud voice and demonstratiYe gestieula-
ion have become matter Of amusement
. his .indalgent neighbors.
He is just now standing behind the bar
anding forth the decanter to some Of the
zen present.

Bob Sommers, who also imbibed copi-

IN ominous silence, for he knew that bet

this occasion.
Joe Miner, after paying one dollar for
the beverage consumed and looking at his
watch, observed: The mail should have

Mr.. Bordeaux became hostile at once.

a Candidate for court-Maraal.

On the 18th OF August, 1876, 4s0 Crow
Indians arrived ut the head of Rosebud
river for the purpose of joining the
command of General Terry, but he
had departed a few days before.
Capt. Sanger, commanding the supply
camp, not only refused to give them
five days rations to follow Gen. Terry,
or to go down to the north bank of the
Yellowstone to act in concert with Gen.
Miles, who went down to prevent the
Indians from crossing, but ordered
them to leave the camp Immediately.
Nevertheless some thirty or forty
crossed without the knowledge Of the
pusillanimous Captain, who, after
Gen. Terry had sent for the Crows,
refused even to give them the privil-
ege to go to his aid in fighting the
Sioux, but ordered them to return to
their Agency. When the Interpreters,
Mounts and Williams, told them that
the Chief Terry was not to blame for
the ann in which they were used,
they asked why such an ass was left to
command. TAalN

rhe H0t Springs Of Wyoming.

The Hot Springs-near Camp Brown,
Sweetwater County, are becom-
ing widely known and highly
esteemed for their medicinal virtues.
These Springs are supposed to be espec-
tally beneficial in rheumatism and ncu-
ralgic complaints, and on this account
sufferers go there and in many instances
are benefited. 1t is believed that these
Springs will prove as eficacious as the
Hot Springs Of Arkansas, in a few
years. They will always be visited by
the mountaineers, who are well ac-
quainted with their virtues. The In
dams have used the waters for centur-
les past, and in their opinion there is
no other remedy SO good for rheuma-
tism. The red men cover themselves
w with the white clay, from the bot
tom of the creek leading from the
Spring, and then sweiter for hours to-
gether in the sun, seeming to enjoy the
delightful heat and warmth.

Sensible Precautions.


The War Department is considering,
in connection with the Indian Office,
the propriety Of taking steps toward
the gradual disarming of reservation
Indians 1t also has in contemplation
to reduce the number of ponies. Guns
and ponies enough for hunting and all
other purposes can be left aside from
these. However, there is such a stock
of improved arms on most reservations
as enable parties to slip off and join
marauding bands Or those on the war
path. If this course is decided on
enough troops will be gathered about
the various agencies where the disarm-
ing may be decided upon to prevent
outbreaks. If it is possible to avoid
them. OF this many officers and agents
have very serious doubts. 1t is deemed
very important, however, where Indi-
n have gathered on reservations for
the winter, to take all precautions to
prevent any considerable number leav-
ing in the spring to join the northern

The Alpha Gold Mine.

Mr.. W. G. Bennett one of the owners
Of the famous Alpha lode, at Dead
wood, received a letter from Mr.. Wool
sey, one Of his partners, stating that the
shaft on the lode had reached q depth
Of ninety feet on Aug. 24th, and that
the miners were then working in solid
rock, the vein having become enclosed
in genuine wall-rock. The ore increases
rapidly in richness as depth is attained.
Mr.. Woolsey stated that over one thou
sand tons of ore were on the dump
awaiting the arrival of the mill, which
is now en- route. Mr.. Bennett will re-
main here several days before returning
10 the Hills.

Col steele,s Return.

Delegate Steele returned here from
Washington yesterday, and was met at
the depot by a large concourse of people
attended by the Third Cavalry band.
Judge w. H. Miller made a short
speech of welcome to which Col. Steele
responded in a few well chosen words.
After concluding his remarks our
Delegate was greeted with cheers and
music and then a general handshaking
was inflicted upon him through which
he passed with becoming fortitude.
Col. Steele may well be proud of this
most cordial reception extended to him
by his fellow citizens; it is certainly a
convincing proof that they appreciate
his faithful and able services in behalf
of Wyoming and the people of the far
west.

For the benefit of the Jack of Clubs
and other scalawags hereabouts, we
would mention the fact that Major
Claiche did ssot make the speech of
welcome at Col Steeie's reception yes
terday, mol did he, said Glafcke. hire
the band for the occasion.
We point to these things that did not
occur, for the purpose of keeping these
innocent fellows posted as to what is
going on in their midst. A year or
two ago, on a similar occasion, they got
things slightly mixed, and gave Major
Glafcke credit for these very praisewor-
thy acts he did not perform.
