DEADWOOD CITY.

While travelling in the interest Of my
firm in Nebraska | received a letter or
dering me to introduce my goods into
the different cities and towns of the
Black Hills. My experience In coming
and while here may be of interest to my
friends, and others intending to come
here. Leaving Sidney, Nebraska,
which is the most direct route on Satur-
day morning, by stage, at hali-past 8,
the fare of which is $40, we arrived in
Deadwood City on Tuesday morning at
$3.50. The stage runs day and night,
stopping tor meals at regular hours at
the ranches built by the company. Its
long and tiresome riae.
Here will say to those who intend
coming here without capital, you are tar
better of at home; it is true there is
gold in abundance, but it is 80 situated
that it requires large outlay to obtain
it. The quariz mines here are mined by
hydraulic machinery, which is very eX-
pensive. There is nothing but starya-
lion for the man without capital. While
on the other hand man with a capital
OF $4,000 or $4,000 can make q fortune
here.
Deadwood is a city of about fifteen

HOW FLOOD cor RICH.

had become quite successful in busi- =

some mortiticaLion and some legal diff

his name, but he had managed to get on

a beautiful girl Of Fauquier, ana sought

SHE KILLED MAN.

Soon after day light Tuesday morning
widow occupying cottage on Fort
street East ran out upon the street and
exoIteuly called to policeman:
"Come over here-hurry quick-I've
killed man stone deadW
"Where is he2" asked the officer as he
came up.
"Right around in the back yard, sir!
Oh! sir, l heard noise at the window,
and got up, and there was a burglar
trying to get in, sir! l took the shotgun
from behind the door and fired, and
you'll find the corpse under the window.
OIL can't hardly catch my breath, and
Pm afraid they'll put me in jailW
The officer walked around to the rear
of the house, looked over every foot OF
ground, and failed to find corpse. One
of the windows was raised, but there
was no blood, no marks OF shot, and no
evidence that a man had been hit.
"You are sure you saw man. and
sure you nit him, are you~ he asked of
the widow.
"Oh, Iknow 1 did-Pm certain of it,"
"But where is the body?'
"Perhaps his partner carried it Off"
she suggested.
The officer looked all over the window
casingio shot-narks, but there were
none, and he asked for the gun. 1t was
lying across the bed, and he was only a
minute discovering that it was not
loaded, and had not been for months.
The lock, too, was out of order, the ham,
mer broken, and no one could have fired
the gun.
II guess you didn't kill a man with
this" he remarked, as he put the weapon
down.
"Why didn't Il" she innocently in
quired.
When he had explained matters she
burst into tears aud walled out:
