traveller came back from Africa with q mar
velous story Of region inhabited BY men
with tails. From quite another quarter OF
the world the report now reaches.us that the
half ape half man is no myth. The Rev
George Brown, who has recently visited the
New Britain and New Ireland group Of
islands to the east of New Guinea, writes that
the natives of Blanche Bay positively affirm
the existence of q ace of men with tails at
place called Kalili. When it was suggested
that the supposed men might be gorillas the
blacks Indignantly resented the imputation
upon their intelli igence, and asked whether
apes fought with spears, planted yams and
built houses. Aminute description was given
of the curiously formed savages, and from
this it would appear that nature has been
somewhat inconsiderate in her design of the
appendage. "The TAIL" the nstives say, "D
hard and inhexible- so much 80 that they
have to dig hole in the sand before they
can sit down, as they die at once if the sp-
pendage is broken" The people provided

A mammoth EIume Enlerprlse.

The Wyoming and Dakota Flume
company are vigorously prosecuting the
stupendous work of constructing Il
aume and ditch from Spearlish to
Deadwood and neighboring gulches,
and hope to have the work completed
by September next. The ditch when
completed will be eighteen miles in
length, three and n half feet deep and
four feet wide, and will cost about
$4,000. By it an abundant supply of
water will be secured for mining and
all other uses and purposes. 1t will
also be utilized for floating in timbers
to supply the great demand that in a
years time will prevail throughout the
district. The enterprise was projected,
and is being prosecuted by California
capitalists.

Ina. Winter india campaiun.

Companies l., f, l. and NJ of the
Seventh Cavalry, numbering 1874 men,
are on the road to Deadwood from Fort
Lincoln. They are accompanied by a
supply train of 81 wagons. Four COM
panies of infantry are also moving
toward the Hills from Standing Rock,
and the force at Smelling and Sisseton is
under orders to participate in the cam
paign. The troops will probably con-
centrate near Deadwood, and institute
a vigorous pursuit of the renegades,
who are reported as going into winter
camp near the Bear Lodge range.

HAT CREEK, WYo., Dec. 10.
A sad affair occurred last night at
Silver Springs, 25 miles from here, by
which two men of Co. A, Third Cav
airy, lost their lives.
1t appears that a man of that COM
pauy lone of the three now ensroute to
the Hills) named Kennedy, got consid-
erably under the influence of liquor
during the day, and while in that con-
dition threatened the life of a sergeant
of his company named Schaffer, but
was prevented at the time from carry
ing his threat into execution. Shortly
after arriving in camp in the evening,
Kennedy procured a carbine. went to
the tent where he supposed Schaffer
would he found, and opened the flap,
fired at the first man he saw, killing
him instantly, but instead of Schaffer
it proved to he John A. Van Mol, first
sergeant of the company.
Kennedy was Immediately disarmed
and put under charge of Il guard. There
was naturally great excitement among
the men of the company, by whom Van
Moll was greatly respected.
Some time during the night the
guard was overpowered, "A blanket being
thrown over his head, and at daylight
this morning the body Of Kennedy was
found suspended to the ridge-pole of
the guard tent by the neck. Life was
extinct.
Van Moll's body was brought here
to-day, and will he forwarded to-mor,
TOW to Fort Laramie for interment.
