Black Hilla Caster City, Herald.
Why are portion Of the people OF
the Black Hills anxious to have new
territory formed so soon? Of what
special privileges are we deprived
that the eastern pottioa Of Dakota en-
joysf Do we count the cost? Here
are three leading questions that every
citizens Of the Hills should mediate
upon before coming TO any conclusion
regarding separation from Dakota
territory. In answer to the first ques-
ton, the reply is:s"We reed onr
capital nearer The Hills, and much
valuable time must be lost by Iepje-
sentativcs going TO Yaaklon. Another
says: eve mus. govern ourselves in
our own way" Now, did it never
occur to our readers tbat the legisla-
tase is in session at time when pla-
Ger mining cannot be doae and time
not SO very valuable after all? Pep
rescntatives, We apprehend, can make
laws as well at one place as another,
aud our VOTES must elect The men in
any case. Should the originator5 Of
this movement succeed, ourtaxes, in.
stead of being borne in part BY the
eastern eounties must fall entirely
upon ourselves, burden the Black
BILLS is not At this tine able TO bear.
Last but not least, the Herald asks
as not this whole movement origina-
ted aud carried on by residents Of the
northern section Of the HILLS, ani

or any other town in the southern
part OF the Hills, has nothing to gain

Quite a number Of not only black but

dangerous criminals hang around the

have gone on for months before being
arrested by the police, it being extremely
difficult to catch them. The crime is
only a misdemesnorr subject TO a light

Upton county was named, and Gen.

Of his death that it was the identical gun
made famous, by a famous man, that he
had made. And well might Col. Brad

made with his own hands over thirteen
