Shooting Arrays in the Black Hills.


DEADwooD, d. T., Feb 16.-George Adler,
formerly of Chicago, and Thos. Garvey of
Montana, partners in the Spring Valley ranch
thirty-fve miles from here on The Sidney road,
became involved in fight respecting the mer-
its of their respectful dogs. From words they
came to blows, and Carney struck Adler with
a hammer, whereupon the latter retreated to
the cabin, and procuring his rifle shot Garvey
dead. Alder is now under arrest.
This afternoon Frank McGavern a notorious
character, and some years ago the terror of the
sweetwater mining country, became involved
in a quarrel with Jos. Ludwig, well known
business man of Central City. Both drew re-
volvers and fired simultaneously, Ludwig's fire
taking effect and passing through both of
McGavern's thighs. The wounds are regarded
dangerous. That Mr.. Ludwig was justified in
using his pistol is the universal opinion of the
best citizens here.

THRILLING WITH SUFFRAGE.

The late election in Grant parish
revealed the fact that there are
within iss limits class Of persons
who neither deserve nor care Tor
the sacred privilege Of casVng
free ballot. OF the one Thousand
and thirty persons registered, about
nine hundred and ten voted, leav-
ing one hundred and twenty who
did not vote over ten per cent oi
the whole number enrolled npoi
the registration books. We are
informed that about one half of
this number were white men. This
fact, taken in connection with the
very small majority by which some
of the white men s candidates were
elected, is grave cause for repre-
-hension on the part of these sing
CARDS. A little more exertion on
the part of the "colored element
and all would have been lost. As
it is, their action has jeopardized
their own and the interests of their
neighbors, and they have neither
part nor parcel in the glorious VIC
tory of the Democratic-Conserva-
tive party of this State, Whilst
others have striven in the midst OF
the fight they have skunk in the
rear, content to enjoy a victory
achieved for them. That men may
have n reasonable excuse for not
going to the polls on election day,
we admit, but that SO large a num-
Der can give reasonable excuse We
do not believe. And it is our firm
conviction that those who willfully
neglect to exercise this great priv
ilege of a freeman are lacking IL
the principle that goes to make

LIE Due. long before his term OF

veloped mauy new facts that VIII
be of great importance to the
farmers uf this country. de IL
Jealous and industrious expert
menter, and nothing in the way OF
Improvement seems 10 escape Eis
attention. Among bis most inter
estinr experiments, missing also
rich fruit practically, IS that III the
line nf extracting sugar from corn
stalks. The Importance of sugar
cultare in this country may be I'M
derstood best when we reflect that
the people of the United States
consume more than slu0, 100000
worth of sugar annually, most Of
which is paid to foreign producers.
Sugar producing from the tropical
cane in the Southern States, al.
ways precarious business, Is leas
profitable than it WIS before the
war, and cannot be kept up with
out constant refrigeration from
the native countries of that plant,
where the tropical heat never
! ceases. The Chinese sorghum has
been successfully tiled, but 1t -
believed that the sweet corn stalks
| of our own production will prove
more profitable from the TACT that
il is a certain crop and that tho
kernel itself renders profit, while
for it's saccharine qualities it Is on
lly about IL per cent less valuable
than the sorgbum-that Is, tbs
sugar which sweet corn stalks viii
Weld is as So tn 100 lbs from tbs
same weight of sorghum cane.
This fact has been determined not
alone by Commissioner LIE Dnc s
experiments at the Agricultmni
department, but by others IN ie-
mote parts of the country, who
have reported to him. The first
experiment in sugar making from
corn were made IN lS16-that il
the first of any success-nnd thu
results were displayed at the Cen
tennial Exhibition during its clos
inc DAYS. The 'evergeen" corn o
. PENNSYLVANIA is so far adinged TN
. best for sugar making. One expo
. rimenter lately reported 10 The
Commi-sioIer that from his expe
rience the past season be concludes
, that 800 lbs of sugar aud 6o "a!
