AaLucky Tramp.

The talk lin Leadvil]e, Col, is about a
vaga bond ola miner, BasslcS, who tramp
ed into town without cent in his pocket,
and Jumped into an income of $4,000 a
day. lie began to dig in Tyndall Hill,
and three feet below the surface he struck
a rotten, chalky substance that formed the
entire eminence. Everybody laughed at
the beggar 9and derisiveely called his find
ssBassick's Whitewash Mine.' But Bas-
sick found tile stuff rich in carbonate of
lead carrying silver, and in digging down
coated with silver chloride. From the
surface down 200 feet the mine has paid
richer than any other in the country,
yielding thus far s64 600 9 month.

THE CRITTER SOLDIERS.
News and Notes From the Seventh
Cavalry.

A letter from the camp of the Seventh
cavalry, in the field near Camp Robinson,
Nebraska, dated Oct Goth, reports: "a
party of ten Cheyenne bucks and squaws
came in today. The country is 80 thorough
ly secuted by our troops that they conclu-
ded to surrender and not to run the risk of
getting captured. It appears from all that
we can gather that there are one or two
families still in the Sand Hills, southeast
of us. Col Tilford is having that country
thoroughly secuted and is doing all he can
to meet the views spread from Headquar-
ters at St. Paul Col. Merrill with two
companies of the Seventh is on Wounded
Knee to keep open communication with
Capt. VESSEL Of the Third cavalry at new
Spotted Tail Agency The rumor that the
Red Cloud Indians are dissatisfied, is to-.
tally groundless. TO allappearances they
are acting in perfect good faith. Red
Cloud himself is exceedingly anxious to
create favorable impression on us, and
has behaved remarkably we'll. / believe
the Cheyenne war party passed north be-
fore we left Bear Butte. Any stragglers,
who remain behind, will be found by our
scouts The regiment is badly off for
clothing Rations will be out, the end Of
the month. We have received notice that
clothing will be sentus at Camp Robinson.
/ hope it may arrive in time as the men
will suffer terribly should storm overtake
us. The clothing, the boys had on, when
they left Lincoln in July, isia sad excuse
for protection against the winds and rains
that may come on us any day. We have
lots of fun over the dispatch from Head
quarters which still wishes us to. bear in
mind that we must follow to the death, all
Indians, whose trail we may discover. It
lis very absurd but these are the days OF
bombast. . tssss Ils.sa 50 { # 1its i.... i

A Life Long Republican on Carpet
Bagger Bennett.

At the conclusion of Hon. Bartlett
Tripps speech at Deadwood, loud calls
were made for Hon. W. II, ,Clagett, the
"silver tongued orator." and lifelong
Republican, who, in response, arose IN his
seat, as he remarked, out of courtesy, not
feeling exactly at home, and consequently
not eligible tospeak. Hereturned thanks
to the audience for the honor conferred,
and stated that he ewas a Republican, born,
bred and dyed in, the wool, but that he in
tended to vote for Bartlett Tripp. Ter
rifle applause. He said that it. was Il
question with him whether Bennett is the
nominee OF the Republican party, for from
pretty good authority he understood that
in the convention at Yankton, Mr. ) Kidder
received 73 votes and Bennett less than
sufficient to nominate him, still the latter
Further than this the speaker had been
been manipulated in the interest of Ben
,he will of the people, and that the anti
Bennett ticket was defeated by fraud.
Eighteen years ago the speaker took a
any man who came into the country until
he had dropped his carpet bag, and be-
come one of the people. The occupation
of Bennett has been that of proprietor OF
an Injunction mill in the Hills, while his
habitation was question of great uncer-
tainty. The statutes of the United States
contain a law making it incumbent upon
Territorial judge to reside in the district
over which he presides. Judge Bennett
took upon himself a solemn oath to abide
by the laws of the land, including the one
above cited, yet IN the face of this specific
provisional during his brief connection with
the HillB Bennett was III the district six
months, aid out Oft eight. The great in
convenience and loss to our miners that
followed, ,fis known to us all. Mr. Clagett's
words were keen, and his argument, fas-
cinating inNthe extreme, was repeatedly
interrupted By great applause, and at its
conclusion, three linging cheers were CIV
en- the speaker.

THE cANNY cHEYENNEs.

The latest report proves the Cheyennes,
prisoners, at Camp Robinson. They were
found in the Sand Hills and were easily
taken. They as easily escaped and took
to rifle pits The military brought out the.
artillery and sent the obstinate warriors
word that they would shell every one OF
them from the face of the earth, ifthey did
not surrender. The Indians, half starved
and half frozen, held out for fo1ty-eight
hours and then came IN. They fought
with the desperation of the .lost.'

Banner upon the prevalence q crime, The
Banner is edited by the Democratic nomi'
nee for State S.uate, and this editorial re-
venls the character u the man. We want
the people Of Claiborne parish to read aud
ponder upon the truths euunciated in this
article. We are specially anxious that II
should make an impression upon them for
the reason that Claiborne has bad name
abroad, and il sanl TO be among the worst
parishes m this or any other State.
| The murders which have been commit
ted here within the past twelve months
ate commented upon abroad to our serious
disadvantage. The oaiam for theses bings
rests not upon the individual criminals
but mon the whole people. Innocent and
guilty alike must participate in the shame
However unjust il may be, such in the III
eyitable result, aud il can I've changed only
by a strict and rigid enforcement of ih'
law. The reputation of Claiborne is yer!
dear to us. For twenty-four years we have
lived within her boundaries. As boy nh'

known them in their prosperity and II
their times of deepest Voc We ha'
