EVANSTON, WYOMING.
Interesting Description OF n Charming
Country Town.

Evanston is situated on the line o.
the Union Pacific railroad, four miles
from the western boundary line OF
Wyoming Territory. 1t contains d
end Of a freight division of the u. p.
road, the rounI-house and machine
shops being located here, employing
from 125 to $50 men.
1t supports two banking houses, one
daily paper, and a first-class public
school. The religious denominations
represented here are the Presbyterian,
Methodist, Baptist and Mormon. The
Catholics also hold service once a
month. The lumber interests are very
extensive. In the Spring of 1875 the
Evanston laundering Co. drove in
2,OOO, 600 feet of logs, and about 5000
cords OF wood. besides 5000 railroad
ties; the wood is converted into char
coal by the Evanston Charcoal Co.,
which has a capital of S25. 100.
The Uinta mine, owned by s. II.
Winsor, turns out from fifteen to
twenty tons per day, supplying this
city with fuel.

is the Twin Greek coal mine, owned
by the Wyoming Coal d Coking Com

mine, which is the largest coal mine
that we have any knowledge of ever
having been discovered. 1t is about
four miles in length. and consists of
sixteen veins, one lying above the
other, a thin layer Of sandstone inter-
vening.
The altitude of Evanston is nearly
1000 feet above the level of the sen.

We arrived here to-day after n OF
the hardest campaigns ever expert
enced in the West. We succeeded IN
breaking up Crazy Horses band OF
Cheyennes and Minneconjos. killing
more than 100 Indians, and burning
their village, on Little Powder river.
Animmense quantity of ammunition,
arms and supplies were stored in the
Indian village. Our casualties were I:
-Four men killed and eight wounded.
SNOW has fallen every day during the
campaign aud the weather la been
intensely cold. The next move will

posed to be encamped at the mouth of

Crazy Horse had with him the
Northern Cheyennes and some of the
Minneconjos, probably in all one-half
of tile Indians Of the reservation.
Every evidence was found to prove
that these Indians are in co-partner-
ship with those at the Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail agencies, and that the
Pioceeos Oh tneir RAIDS upon the settle

cies and supplies brought out in return.
In this connection 1 would again ur-

"A correspondent writing from the
capital of the Black Hills gives the
following skstch of the place:
CUSTER AS IT is.
Imagine IL you can a round basin, a
mile and u half across, covered wit h u
grass soil, so dense hat the traffic of n
busy people for five or six months has
as yet failed to destroy or wear it away.
Not a tree or a stump can be seen in
this natural park, which slopes gently
from all sides down to n shallow stream
known to the world as French Greek.
In this park the city of Custer is being
built as fast as hands can build it.
THE COURT HOUSE.
The only public building in this m
bryo city Is a log cabin sixteen feet
square. with dirt floor, carpeted with
gunny sacks, rooted with pine poles.
covered with dirt, walls Of mud and
logs, and a window formed of four
small panes of glass set in the walls
without sash.
A WELL REGULATED CITY.
The people of Custer, are, as n class,
superior to any l have sect in a wes-
tern frontier. city. The people are JUST
~ proud Of their city's reputation and
not hesitate to hang or Danish a
thief or any other disreputaUle CHAR

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is the
only company running cars directly through
Washington. This line is one of the best
equipped and managed roads in the coun-
try and will no doubt be favorite route
for the hundreds and thousands visiting
the East during the centennial year.
Nearly every one going East will wsnt tc
visit Washington, and as the Baltimore &
Ohio is the only line running through the
centre of the great city of the republic, il
makes it by all odds the most desirable
route to take. Persons going East SHOULD

How Babcock was Acquitted.

ST. LOUIS, March 5.-The Times to day
will publish statement of what purports
to be part of the secret whisky ring prose
cutions here and especially the Babcock
trial. 1t asserts that Gen. Pierrepont was
very active and jealous in the prosecution
until Babcock was indicted, when his ardor
cooled and he began to use the influence
and power Of his Office to save that gentle
man. 1t is asserted that the attorney
general sent for District Attorney Dyer to
come to Washington. Dyer went and
while there Pierrepont, on the plea that it
was very important that he should know
what the prosecution would be in the Bah
cock case, obtained from him by the gross
est hypocrisy detailed statement of all
the oral testimony against Babcock. the
whole plan of the prosecution and what he
intended to prove by each witness. This
information, it is alleged, Pierrepont made
over to the use of Babcock's S counsel, and
this too with the presidents knowledge and
consent Storrs, senior counsel for Bah
cock, remained in Washington, and what
ever Pierrepont obtained from Dyer in re-
gard to the case he first repeated to the
Storrs got the benefit of all he had learned.

place where the plans to defeat the gov
ernment in its case against Babcoek were
matured every night preceding the time

Babcock and Porter met Pierrepont in
his office and closely studied every point
contained in the evidence for the govern
inert and prepared to overcome it. Bah.
cock was admitted to the conferences be
tween the president and Pierrepont
Whenever Dyer sent any additional evi
dence to Washington, Storrs was sent for
and when the plan of the prosecution wa
fully matured he was as familiar with it al
the attorney general himself.
