GEN. HANcocK'S LOSS.
A Verdict in Favor of Landlord,

Ncruict IN favor OF Landlords.
New York, Nov. 21.-Major- General
Hancock has been beaten in his suit to
recover from hotel proprietor the
value of $1,000 worth of jewels, stolen
from the hotel at which he was board
ing. The loss of the jewels was proven,
also the absence from the room of the
usual notice that there was safe in
the Office for the deposit of valuables
and that the landlord was not respon-
sible for valuables not so deposited.
The defence was that, as Hancock oc-
cupied the room, not as an ordinary
guest but as boarder under special
contract at lower than the usual hotel
rates, the provisions of the inn law
fixing proprietors' responsibility did not
apply to him. In other words, that he
was boarder and not the guest of an
inn. The referee to whom the case was
referred by the Supreme court gave
judgment on this ground for the hotel
keeper, citing numerous law decisions
to sustain this position. As the case
was vigorously contested the result is
of Importance to all hotel-keepers.

NEWS FROM THE NoRTHLAHD.


Lieut.. j. ii. Coale, Second Cavalry,
who arrived here yesterday from Fort
Custer, on the Big Horn river, gives lis
the subjoined account of his recent ex-
periences:
He left Camp Stambaugh August
9th, with companies c and NJ of his
regiment, commanded by Captains Mix
and Spaulding, and marched up along
the base of the Big Horn mountains,
rounding them and reaching the post
on Oct. 10th. On Oct. Both he started
on his return. He left the post with a
detail of ten troopers, and some ninety
mechanics who have been employed in
building the quarters at Fort Custer,
reaching Medicine Bow, on the Union
Pacific, Nov. nth.
When Lieut.. Coale left the quarters
had not been completed, but it was then
expected that they would be occupied
Nov. 18th. The new quarters, which are
large, comfortable and very substan-
TALLY constructed, will accommodate
eight companies. They are built of
logs, first sheathed with cottonwood
and then with pine, with double floors,
the under one of cottonwood and the
upper of pine.
Fort Custer is commanded by Gen.
Buell., of the Eleventh Infantry, five
companies of his regiment being now
stationed there, under Captains Sander
son, Whitney, Kingsbury, Conrad and
Gilbraith. There are also four COM
panies of the Second Cavalry at this
post, under Captains Mix, Spaulding,
Egan and Gregg.
Just before leaving the Fort Lieut..
Coale took IL trip of 80 miles down the
Yellowstone river, and found the valley
settling up rapidly, there being ranches
every few miles. He says it is as fine
country for farming, etc, as can be
found on the continent. His trip from
Fort Custer to Medicine Bow was
blessed with pleasant weather and good
roads, there being very little snow on
the ground, and but two light storms
during the journey. lie made the trip
in sixteen days, with mule teams, and
says it can be made in ten days, the
distance being 300 miles.
The Lieutenant states that the route
from Medicine Bow is by far the best
and shortest to the new post. Freight
can be transported for four cents per
pound, whereas it now goes up the
Missouri and Yellowstone at Il cost of
seven and one-half cents per pound,
while mail goes from Corinne via Boze-
man, $50 miles by stage, in addition to
the extra railroad travel of about 400
miles.
Lieut.. Coale has applied for Il years
leave of absence, and is ordered to
Omaha, where his request will probably
be granted, when he will go to Europe.

RENO VS.. SITTING BULL.
The Major Don't Take Any Stock in the
Chiefs Story.

Chiefs Story.
Washington, Nov. 21.-Major Reno
is visiting Washington, and was waited
upon by a correspondent concerning
the implied charges made against him
in the account of the Custer fight
given by Sitting Bull. He was not dis
posed to discuss the subject at any
length. He sees no occasion for re-
opening the question of the Little Big
Horn battle; that question is well un-
derstood by the officers of the army
who were engaged in it, and by their
superiors under whose supervision their
reports passed. He attaches very lit
tie importance to the statement of Sit
ting Bull, especially to that part in
which the chief says long-haired
chief, whom he supposed Reno to be,
after crossing the Little Big Horn, be-
came frightened at a camp of old men,
squaws and papooses. He says that on
the morning of the battle he separated
from Custer with detachment of three
companies and party of scouts, and
with no further orders from him
than to attack the village in the woods
on the south side of the Little Big
Horn. He moved off and did as he
was told, being assured that Custer
would support him. He does not consid-
er himself any more responsible for the
killing of Custer and his men than any
man in Washington would have been.
On the other hand, he thinks either
want of definite plan of battle or
mistake of Gen. Custer placed the at
tacking detachment in serious, and to
some extent, unnecessary jeopardy. He
is grieved that certain papers should
charge him with enmity toward so
brave and gallant man as Custer.
They were personal friends, he says,
and were upon the best of terms, hav-
ing been in the Military Academy at
West Point together, and knowing
each other for many years.
Reno has very little confidence in
Sitting Bull or any other Indian, and
wants no further vindication of his
character as soldier in regard to the
Little Big Horn fight, than the official
reports of Sherman, Crook and Terry
and the statements of the survivors of
the battle.

The President on the Silver Question.


Washington, Nov. 21.-Within the
last forty-eight hours the President has
declared unhesitatingly to prominent
official that he would veto any silver
bill which does not expressly except
from its operations the public debt. He
will not approve any measure having
the slightest tendency to impair the Ma
tional credit or cause the holders of Ma
tional securities to think they will be
paid in currency of less value than gold.
The President is firm on this point,
and unless the present silver bill be
amended, it will certainly be vetoed.
The President will sign modified bill,
but strongly opposes unlimited issue of
silver. The President and Sherman
are authoraittively stated to be in ac-
cord on this question.

THE President is understood to have
said that he would not have minded
half so much If Conkling and his sena-

the Objectionable nominations, instead
Of pocketing them and indulging in un-

latter course was one of marked disre-
spect to the President, and he is re-
ported to be little vindictive about
the matter.

The Birds that Bullock CAUGHT.

Last Friday was an off day for the
pestiferous road agent. Sheriff Ely, of
Custer county, having tracked Finn
Davis, II. B. Van Camp and Costello
into Deadwood, Immediately informed
Sheriff Bullock, who captured Finn
Davis at South Bend early that even
ing. A short time after, Sheriffs Ely
and Bullock found Van Camp and
placed him under arrest. About half
past 8 the two officers espying Costello
on Main street, disarmed and hustled
him into jail. During the evening a
man named Lawrence Moorhead was
arrested and locked up.
Van Camp, who is a young man, is
known to have been engaged in running
off herd of cattle from Red Cloud
Agency, about two weeks ago. Davis
and Costello are thought to be the men
that made the attempt to rob the
Myers party, in which one of their
number was killed by young Myers. A
few days before they tried to go through
the Sidney stage near Buffalo Gap, and
ran off herd of stock from Cheyenne
Agency.
Costello when taken to the Jail, gave
his name as Tony Pastor; he had S113.-
80 in currency and large pistol upon
his person when taken. He is a good
looking young man of medium size,
light complexion, and well dressed.
