A Black Hitler Replies to Lying Billy Burton.

The following letter appeared in the
Deadwood Times, May 10Th:
DEADwooD, d. T., May is, 1877.
Editor Of Times:
l saw in your issue of the 10th a
doleful article from a piteous pen. 1t
was signed Chilly Burton" and the
writer was going to quit the country
because he was discouraged. My friend
and myself arrived in Sidney on the
9Th of March last. We had begged
our way many hundred miles to that
station. We then engaged ourselves to
a party of freighters as mule drivers,
for our passage to Deadwood. We ar
rived here on the I'd day of April,
strapped pretty tight, and not having
any friends to live on we began to shift
for ourselves. Being entirely ignorant
of mining we abandoned that project,
and borrowing an and climbed
one of the hills and spelled each other
cutting and cording wood. We realiz-
ed q sufficient income from this source
to rent a cabin and lay in 4 grub stake.
We then took a contract in Elizabeth
town to build three log houses, which
we completed, thereby realizing enough
to buy a lot, IN which we have erected
a cabin of or own. If these ''Billy
Burtons'' will just keep quiet in this
new country and wait a few years, l
win nrOcure for them n soft iOb snch ~
bookkeeping for an aged lady, or clerk
for an organ grinder, and these are
about the only positions they can as
pire to unless they work. If they can't
find work with othels let them procure
it by making it. JOHN T. KING.

Professor Nathan Sheppard

will discourse this evening upon the
topic of ~''knowing how to hold your
tongue" 1t is a very suggestive one,
and we have no doubt but that the
Professor whilst using his own, to tell
his audience how not to use theirs, will
make a decided impression. We hope
so at any rate. The Denver papers,
there are five of them we believe, all
speak of him in the highest terms of
praise, and that is saying a good deal.
A distinguished actor once said to me,
in answer to a question Of mine rela-
tive to the most critical audience that
he ever played before, after a moments
hesitation, "well, outside Of the cities,
the Denver audience of all Others" The
Professor will have an opportunity of
expressing his opinion tonight and to-
morrow night relative to our apprecia-
tiveness, as a people, of lectures.
BE sure and attend the Professors
lectures. He is under the auspices of
the Y. NJ. c. A., and they have spared
no expense to bring him here, and the
Cheyenne people should be able to pat
ronize their w boys, just once you
know, if they can afford to give Tom
Thumb the send off they did night be-
fore last.

gardless of expense, Sir-r," and it will
start out on its maiden trip for the
Hills before it gets to be intentionally
dark for the Colonel to travel, for it is
understood that this "foine old Oirish
gentleman will accompany his sales
man on this extraordinary trip. We
have examined the team carefully, with
the Colonel, who explained its various
points, its ''capacity for CARRIAGE

we are prepared to maintain our asser-
ton, when we state our opinion to the
effect that we think it Il decided i'm
provement on the jaunting car, and we
would advise him to take out a patent,
although Studebaker built the convey
ance, and the Colonel is therefore prob
ably forestalled in this respect. How
ever, be this as it may, the improved
car of the Colonel's, a tent by night
and a house by day, "wid two seats,

small side-board, !" is a decided success,
and an institution within itself. The
Colonel has spared no 'expinse' in max
ing this the best of its kind this side of
Omaha OF Ogden, on the road, and we
have no doubt in our mind but that the
enterprising owner will coin money
through having invested as he did.

Died from Starvation and Exposure.

III our issue of Wednesday we called
the attention of our readers to the fact
of IA sheriff having been notified of
the finding of a body about six miles be-
low Durbin's crossing. Mr.. Carr, on
receipt of the telegram, immediately
informed the coroner, Mr.. A. p. Col
dacker, and that gentleman, with the
characteristic promptitude that mani
tests itself upon all occasions of this
kind where he is concerned, proceeded
to the scene of the melancholy event,
and returned with the remains of the
deceased the same evening, and depos-
tied them in the city morgue. Yester-
day forenoon a jury having been en-
p~annelled, Mr.. Goldacker officiating in
his official capacity, these gentlemen
proceeded to view the corpse, and after
listening attentively to the evidence in
the case, returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from starva-
ton and exposure. From papers found
upon his person it was supposed that he
was a native of the state of New York,
or at all events had come from there
quite recently. A melancholy episode
during the investigation was the pro-
ducing of a ferro-type, found upon the
person of the deceased, of a charming
little girl. The picture had been exc
cuted by G. l.. Lamson, of Larfargc-
vile, N. V, artist. From the striking
resemblance that was discovered be-
tween the features of the dead and the
young child, it vas evident that she
could be no other than his daughter.
The following letter was also discov-
cred upon the person of the dead, and
b" this means his name was more fully
identified as that of P. J. Hughes or
Hewes, probably the former:
MAY 9th, 1877.
Dear Friend Moore:
l have the pleasure of introducing
you to a friend of mine, p. j. Hewes,
who is worthy of respect from all.
Please use him as you would like to be
done by. Well, be good to yourself and
this friend of mine while with you.
Yours respectfully,
HOME w. BRADLEY.
When found, the body was lying with
its feet towards the creek and within
six or eight inches of the water, and
resting upon its left side, the left hand
supporting the head, the right extend
ed upward as if appealing for aid that
did not come. Deceased was about
five feet three inches in height, rather
inclined to enabonpoint, and was respec-
tably dressed in q suit of some dark
gray material. The coroner, who wrote
to Larfargeville yesterday to procure
further information relating to the
man, has charge of his remains, and
they will be inferred in the city ceme-
terry. -I

The Fight Over the Spells.

The Deadwood Times of May 10Th
gives the following account of the pro-
ceedings of the Territorial convention
that day:
Upon motion, MI. Meyer was called
to the platform, and was %applauded.
He submitted a written report, which
he nervously read. 1t pitched into
Pennington, accusing him of going
upon the floor of the legislature, and
there lobbying against the bill for the
appointment of county commissioners
and officers. 1t assailed the legislature
for refusing representation to the peo-
pie of the Hills. 1t attacked Repre-
sentative Kidder for opposing the terri
torial bill as introduced in the United
States Senate. 1t lauded Seelye, of
Massachusetts,, and q relative of Capt.
Walker, for advocating the bill. 1t
sailed into the Times for charging, over
a fictitious signature, that Meyer had
been actuated in the espousal of our
common IL by selfish, mercenary
motives, and in vindication of himself
read q local from the Omaha Bee. 1t
gave a generally right and left crack
ct" to almost everybody, and closed
with a beautiful eulogy of Capt. How
ard G. Walker for having advanced our
impecunious representative the sum of
81, 800, and begging that the conven-
ton appoint the captain and doctor as
representatives at Washington. He
was applauded again.
Loud calls for Clagett brought that
gentleman to the stage. He did not
see the necessity of having reconvened
the convention, and taking the report
of Meyer, literally tore it to pieces,
which provoked great excitement,
misses blending with applause, showing
that sentiment was about evenly di-
vided between the Meyer and anti
Meyer party. He said that, taking tile
written statement Of Meyer, it alone
conclusively proved that its author was
totally ignorant of the minor details
of ordinary Legislative proceedings. He
called upon Meyer to state whether or
not lie had declared that the executive
committee were working i'll the inter-
est of Yankton rings. Meyer admitted
that he had, whereupon the speaker in
most scathing terms, declared that
Meyer had then uttered wilful and ma
licious lies. Great applause greeted the
declaration, and was repeated, when,
soon after, the speaker retired from
the stage.
Judge Miller was called for, and was
addressing the delegates as we go to
| press.

Is Your Life Worth 10 centss

Sickness prevails everywhere, and
every body complains of some disease

and its effects, such as indigestion, cos
%tiveness, sick headache, sour stomach,
heartburn, p%alpitation of the heart, de
pressed spirits, billiousness, etc., can

Hon. E. p. Johnson, U. S. Attorney for

Wyoming.
We are glad to see the present adj
ministration recognize the claims of
the people of the territories to be repre-
scented in official positions under the
territorial governments by the bona.fide
citizens chosen from among them. One
of the first appointments under this
new departure is that of the Hon. E.
p. johnson, as u. s. Attorney for the
district of Wyoming, who had the al
most unanimous endorsement his of
fellow citizens of this territory for the
position.
1t is not necessary for us to speak of
the qualifications or record of Mr.. john
son, who is well know to all our readers
residing in this territory. He is of
the earliest pioneers who came to
Cheyenne by bull-team express, before
the days of railroads. He has eve
since resided here, grown up, 80 to
speak, with the city and territory. His
appointment to the honorable and
responsible position of attorney for the
Government, is not only n deserved
compliment to himself, but a pleasing
recognition by President Hayes Of the
right and Justice of IL claims for local
self-goverument.

IL 1ncEc Ii u 01SpOSltlOn-a growing
disposition-on the part of a certain
class in this city, to give it the cold
shoulder; in other words, to go back on
it. A good many of this class have
been residents of Cheyenne since it first
put in an appearance as the City of the
Plains. They have seen its growth and
its steady advancement into the front
rank, with the other cities along the
line of the U. p. railroad, between
Omaha and Ogden, and they have wit
messed the place, that they stood spon-
sors for at its birth, passing into the
van of this army, and assume the posi-
tion to which it had all along been en-
titled to; that of the Queen City of the
Plains.
When Denver first sprang into ex-
i~stence, Cheyenne, for the time being,
rested under a shadow; people who re-
sided here moved their houses and their
household goods to Denver, and later,
to Greeley and to Evans; but after all
Cheyenne did not suffer in reality.
She steadily increased in prosperity,
wealth and position, and when the road
was finished between the cities of Col
olado and of Wyoming-Denver and
Cheyenne-it became a settled fact that
all the Vaccinations of her enemies
could no longer hurt her, for she was
beyond their reach. But there has
ever been a certain class in this COM
munity who see all manner of evil and
sorrow awaiting us As a city. They
have been prophesying the day and the
hour thereof when the destruction
should come to pass, and chaos should
reign supreme. Ever since the day
that they witnessed its birth upon the
plains, and down to the present time,
they have not ceased their divinitions.
But they are false prophets, and it
would be a mercy and q blessing if
these people would only shake the dust
from off their shoes, as they passed out
and away from the limits of Cheyenne,
forever, never more to return; for men
of that character and standard can do
naught but harm; They would find
fault with Heaven as u country, and
the golden paved streets of the new
Jerusalem would be disparaged, COM
mented upon, and abused, much in the
same manner as the Pecksniffs would
have done when in the flesh, in our city
of Cheyenne.
There are daily arriving in our midst
strangers from the east and from the
west, who are looking for n location;
they are pleased with Cheyenne and
decide to stay, and invest their money;
they build and become wealthy, much
to the disgust of the timid croakers
that we have among us, and who are
always predicting that evil will surely
come upon us as a community. The
same class of men have existed in
every city since this mundane sphere
of ours has been inhabited, and there
is not among our Western cities or
towns n of any size or Importance
but what had to put up and contend
| with the croakings of these doubters,
and I-told-you-so, class of people, until
it proved such a cry Of wolf! wolf +!
that the thinking element, the monied
element and the ~long-headed element,
permitted their false prophets to go on
until they died a natural death or dis
appeared with the growth of the city,
never more to appear in their midst.

The Hidden Treasure Gulch is devel-
oping richer prospects every day. The
whole gulch seems to be one continu-
GUS vein of rich ore. We have just
been shown some of the finest speci-
mems of gold-bearing quartz that have
yet been discovered in the Hills. They
were from the SKeith mine, Hidden
Treasure Gulch, and were literally cov-
cred with gold.
In the Black Hills it is proven be-
yond a doubt that the gold is in quartz,
yet thousands will leave these hills
without even getting it in pints.
