Why She Voted.

A Colorado correspondent writes -
''We had the honor, not long since, of
seeing one of the first ladies who voted
in the United States. She cast her bal.
lot in Wyoming, and gave the follow
ing reason why she voted at all, laugh

She said she was standing in store
one day when a large black dog came
in, holding basket in his mouth. 1t
was election day and some of the men
standing around, talking about the late

Good. till Contradicted.

The Rutland (Vt.) Herald of Thurs
day is the medium through which the follow
ing story was made public: t'There is great
rejoicing among the friends of P. Turney. of
Waterbury. They knew that he was in the
United States Army, and at the time General
Custer was killed by the Indians he was also
reported killed. His father has now received
a letter from him saying that he was with
General Custer when the General and nearly
all his men were killed by the Indians last
summer, but he made his escape in a manner
truly wonderful, according to his account of
1t: He feigned to be dead, and lay with the
killed until most of the Indian warriors had
passed him, and when he was discovered nv
an Indian, he says he killed the Indian and
dressed himself in the Indians clothing, and
escaped to the forest. The Indians who saw
him on his way to the woods supposed he was
one OF their warriors on duty. When in tile
woods ne concealed himself, and afterward
made his way to his way to his friends in safe

Railroad Wars in Wisconsin


There is genuine railroad war in
Wisconsin between the two great powers in
the transportation traffic of the Northwest.
The Milwaukee & St. Paul company has oper-
ated the Madison Il Portage line of railroad
since its completion ON a contract which by
its terms could be ended at any time by either
party. The prospective completion OF the
Wisconsin Central to Ashland on Lake Supe-
rior early in the spring makes this line espe.
cially valuable as connecting line. The en-
ergetic officers OF the Chicago & Northwestern
were not slow in seeing this, and took steps to
secure that connection. The contract with
the Milwaukee company was discontinued by
Mr. Campbell, owner of the road, and con-
tract drawn with the Chicago & Northwestern
company, which company has taken possess
sion of the road, but the Milwaukee company
refuses to withdraw. The sympathies of the
northern and western portion of the State are
with the Chicago & Northwestern folks, as
since the affairs of that company have been
under the management of President Keep
there has been a manifest disposition on the
part Of the management to serve the public
interests by all the means in the company's
power, and this is move to perfect the
Northwestern's system in the State.

Three-Penny Fraud.

The trial in New York of Jacob A,
Van Volkenberg and George w. West to1
conspiracy to cheat and detraud the Pennsyl-
vania railroad was begun on the 10th inst.
The defendants were respectively ferryman
and collector of tickets at the Jersey City fer
ry. 1t is charged that the collector would
pass back certain number of tickets taken
up and the ferry master would reissue them.
The frauds by three-cent ferry tickets alone
reached the enormous sum OF between sixty
thousand and seventy thousand dollars. So
general did the conspiracy become that the
honest employees were known as ''sneids''

The Indians Last Shot.

The Black Hills Pioneer narfates an
incident that shows the cool ferocity
of the Indian: -Four white men, while
out hunting about two miles from
Deadwood, killed a deer, and while
they were skinning it one of them saw
an Indian approaching them, leading
his pony. He was probably trying to
surprise them, but being uncertain of
their exact position, he had approach
ed too near, and they discovered him
first. One of the party snatched up
his shotgun, loaded with buck.shot,
and fired both barrels, bringing down
the Indian and his pony. The conf
dent manner in which the Indian had
walked toward them led them to sup.
pose that he was supported by a num-
Der of others, and so they quickly re-
treated toward Deadwood for rein
fo1cements. A party started out to
scout the country, and on reaching the
spot where the deer lay, the men saw
the body of the Indian by the side of
his pony, and thinking him dead. thew
rushed forward. The action was fatal
to one of the party, for shot from the
Indians rife struck him in the heart.
A v0lley from the others killed the In.
dian instantly, however, and his body
was quickly surrounded by the white
men. The Indian had been almost rid.
died with buckshot, one shoulder and
both legs having been broken, yet he
managed to bandage his legs and take
unerring aim with his wounded arm.
Knowing that his life would be taken
without doubt, he had prepared to soil
it as dearly as possible, and lying on
his back, he rested his rifle on his
wounded legs and shot dead the fore.
most OF his assailants. In his mouth
was another cartridge, ready to re.

Christmas Gift from the Youngers.

The Faribault Republican says Sher-
if Barton, who had charge of the Youngers
while in Jail, ''has received very handsome
and valuable present on Christmas last, from
Miss Retty Younger, sister of the Younger
brothers. in the shape OF solid gold watch
chain. The chain formerly belonged to Col.
Younger, father OF the bandits. If the out
laws were still under charge Of Sheriff Barton,
at this place, the receipt of such valuable
present would look rather suspicious on his
part, but as they are now safely lodged in the
State Prison, and entirely out of his reach,
where he could not render then any assist
ance if he desired so to do, the TACT of the &C.
ceptance of the gift is not open to the object
tions that would otherwise exist"

Riot in Z Reform School,

A serious riot took place at the
Westboro (Mass.) State Reform School, on
the 18th. About one hundred boys were en-
gagged in the uprising, and the signal was
given by shutting off the gas in the school
rooms. The fight was desperate one for q
few minutes, every article of furniture in two
OF the rooms being completely demolished.
The officers succeeded in keeping the rioters
in the rooms until help was summoned, and
then subdued them by the free use of water
from the hydrant: None of the officers or
men were seriously hurt, and none of the
boys escaped.

Valuable Dogs.

Philadelphia LEDGER
According to one of the oldest dog
fanciers in New York the rarest and
most valuable dogs in that city are
full-blooded bloodhounds and bulldogs.
Deerhounds-thin, long, rough-haired
dogs-are also scarce, and are worth.
when full grown, from 500 to 5000
apiece. Foxhounds are worth from S25
to $50, barriers from 500 to $50. grey
hounds from $sl5 to $s25, German
beagles from ss15 to 500. Italian grey
hounds, which were the first pet dogs
ladies had in this country, were at one
time worth as high as $40 apiece, but
now, having got out Of fashion, sell
for much less. At the present the
greatest demand is for Gordon settlers,
breed of dogs which comes from the
kennels of the Duke of Gordon in Scot
land, and when of proper color-pure
black-and.tan--bring from 500 to $500
apiece. Next to them come the red
Irish settlers, which sell for $50 apiece,
and the English orange and white,
which are quoted somewhat cheaper.
Spamels are not so fashionable as set
tiers, and sell at a lower figure. The
Clumber, or land spaniels, sell from
$25 to $50 apiece, the brown water
spaniels at ssl5 apiece. Cocker SPAN
lels sometimes bring as high as $50,
and King Charles spaniels as high as
$500. Pointers are not fayorites in
this country, for forests are too thick
for them and the brush tears their
skins, which are not coated as heavily
as the settlers or cookers. The double
nosed or Spanish pointers are worth
all the way up to $500 apiece. Besides
the game dogs, Siberian bloodhounds.
Pomeranian wolf-dogs, and Dane dogs
are all sold in New York. One of the
latter, thirty -four inches high, was re-
Gently disposed of for $3.50. St. BEL
nard dogs are quoted at from $3.50 to
5000 apiece, and white bull terriers,
for fighting purposes, at 5000. Fox
terriers and Dandy Dinmot terriers
bring from $40 to $25 apiece. Skye
terriers, black-and-tan terriers and
English pugs are all ladies' dogs. The
latter sell from 500 up, the former
often bring $50. For a black-and.tan
OF extraordinary small size New
York lady recently paid 500. The an
lmal weighed just two pounds and ten
ounces.

To the Black Hills.

The railroads are making up schcd.
ules for fast through trains from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Bismarck, to begin moving
early in the spring, and also rates for freight
which will make the Northern Pacific railroad
the cheapest, speediest, as well as the very best
route in all respects, to the mines of the Black
Hills. The wagon road from Bismarck to
Deadwood and other mining camps at the
Hills, is by far the best, and the shortest by
from fifty to one hundred and fifty miles, with
plenty of fresh water, and over level that
fully loaded teams can go through withou
doubling It is understood that system OF
advertising the advantages Of this route will
be adopted, whereby the people of the whole
country may receive information that will
tend to direct thitherward large proportion
Of the passengers and freight destined tor the
Black Hills, and also the travel and products
from the auriferous region
