Major A. S. Burt, who has been out
on a summer excursion with the Crook

distinguished himself in a little affair
at Slim Buttes recently, where he de-
feated some of Crazy Horses boys at a
game of marbles. Rapherty wants to
see you, Major.
Mr.. L. W. Gitchell, of Parker county,
Oregon, arrived here yesterday, en- route
to the Black Hills. Mr.. G. states that
there is great excitement in Oregon
over the gold discoveries in the nav
Ell Dorado, and that a large emigration
may be expected from his section in the
spring. He is an old miner and will
write up the Hills for some of his home
papers. He leaves for Deadwood to-
day.

His high old nibs, Earl Dufferin,
Governor General Of all the .Canucks,
accompanied by a retinue Of mutton
chop-whiskered cockneys from cold
Canada, came in Sunday from the west,
and their Pullman has been standing
at the depot ever since. The noble
Earl is going down to Colorado, and If
he likes the Centennial state he'll buy
it, you know-Hughes, Patterson, the

Col. w. d. Pease, u popular fellow
citizen, whose forte is groceries, and
whose heart is as big as the new
school building, leaves US to-day for the
land Of gold, otherwise known as the
Black Hills. He says he'd ooner see
Deadwood Gulch than visit the Centen-
NAL, and as Taylor, his energetic part
ner, has seen the big show at Phila-
delphia, it is no more than fair that
Pease should take his play spell In the
Hills. We wish him q pleasant tip
and q safa return.
