The Deadwood Times, which is the most
sensible and unprejudiced newspaper pub
lished at the commercial center Of the Da.
kota mining region, talks territorial divis.
ion in the following strain:
The Enterprise has an elaborate editorial
in last evenings issue on the division Of
Dakota" the purport of which is against
any division OF the territory. There is no
doubt but that sooner or later the territory
will be divided and the division will most
probably be made on the 18th or 18th line
of latitude. The argument advanced by
some that the Black Hills should be sonar.
ated from eastern Dakota for the reason
that bur interests are so dissimilar as to
make it difficult to haye a uniformity in our
laws-an agricultural population requiring
laws that are p%rejudicial to a mining popu-
latiOn-is the veriest bosh and nonesense
conceivable.
Sooner or later all sections of the terri
tory must admit that the forty sixth parallel
is the proper dividing line for the two states
which are eventually to be made from the
present territory Of Dakota. This has long
been the popular idea with all Of eastern
Dakota, but certain elements within the
Black Hills and At Bismarck have chung to
an unnatural notion that they could con.
struct a new territory which would take in
those two points, swallow up the Missouri
river and the wilderness contiguous thereto
and leave the balance of Dakota to at
tach itself to some other organizations. 1t
was a selfah scheme which fell to the ground
Of its v inertness. The Times is taking
the sensible course and its efforts will be
supported by all of eastern Dakota.

HUNG roA LIMB.
Deadwood Times,

The body of an unknown man was found
hanging to the limb of a tree on the Chey-
enne river near the Old Woman's Fork,
Last week by Messrs. Allen and Pendegrast,
of Laramie City. It is thought it had been
hanging there for some time, as the ground
beneath II wss worn and trampled bare
where the wolves had held their nightly
seances. unable to reach their anticipated re.
past. Having neither spade or pick with
which 10 dig q grave. the diseoverers decided
to cut the body down, and 70 save it from
inhalation by tho wolves. placed it in the
forks of the tree from which It hung. There
il WAS left. His name ,and the time of hi
death will probably go down with those
things that are hidden among the myster
ious records Of DIack Hills life.

The Masonic fraternity Of Tyree Lodge,

of the old Reelfoot church, on Saturday
last. Elder R, A. Beauchamp preached
r most excellent funeral sermon, and the
Masonic funeral ceremonies and Grafton
By the Master, Mr.. NJ. Marshal, was the
nearest perfect work We ever witnessed.
There was some fifty or more
Masons in procession-lead by the Hick-
man band-and as they moved along this
line of hills and valleys attending the
last solemn duty to worthy deceased
brother, one was forcibly reminded of the
historic record Of ancient Masonry when,
they used to meet on the highest hills
and in the lowest hollows.
The deceased, uncle Jack Mosier, was
one Of the earliest pioneers Of this cOun-
try, having been resident Of the neigh
borhood in which be died some fifty years,
and was always esteemed an honorable,
worthy, upright citizen, and Justly below

unteered the opinion that the whole bust

a trial and afterward abandoned further
attempts. Dorr sues for this breach of

so much for he value of the picture as he
does % establish the fact that photographs
of spirits are actually being taken. The

sOF Breach Of

lClarkesyile (Fcnn) Tobacco Leaf
Quite an interesting case for breach
of marriage and fraud came up in the
Circuit Court Friday. The suit was
brought two years ago by Mrs. Jane
Elliott against Jack Allen. 1t will
be remembered that the Tobacco Leaf,
10 April, 1877. gave an account of
Jack Allen's April fool marriage, got
ten up, as Allen stated, to April fool
Squire Griffin ORGAN; but it seems
that Jack carried the joke too far and
carried it on little too long, and
didn't fool the Squire much, as the
sequel will show.
The following day, however, Jack
met with the Squire Organ and they
came to the Loaf Office together to
have the marriage announced. They
were both in jolly mood and Jack
seemed very happy. Uncle Griffin
told Jack that he ought to pay So for
the ceremony. Jack said no; that his
wife would pay the bill. Later in the
day Jack told the Squire that he was
not married; that it was simply a joke
gotten up to April fool him; aud that
the license, as he would see by exam
nation. was bogus. by grannys,"
replied Uncle Grit, "you cant fool
me; am au officer of the law and am

It seems from the testimony that it did
stick for about six or eight weeks,
when Jack Allen pulled out and mar.
