A Respected Citizen Kills Himself with I
Revolver.

From a special dispatch to the Oma-

Laughlin, a highly esteemed citizen of
Fremont, committed suicide on Tues
day night by shooting himself in the
head with a revolver.
He,was in the last stages of consump.
ton, and gave up all hopes of getting
well. A few weeks since he went to
Colorado in the ain hope of checking
the fatal disease, but was advised to re-
turn at the end of a few days by his
physicians, as his cas- was beyond rem

Mrs. Mclaughlin had just put the chill

noise in her husbands room, and went
thither to ascertain the cause of the
noise. She found him with a revolver
in his hand, but before she could speak
he ordered her to leave the room, and
threatened to shoot her If she did not

BLACK HILLS ECHOES.
Mining Active Throughout The Entire District.

The Deadwood Pioneer, in a lengthy
and carefully prepared review, gives
some interesting facts and figures rela-
tive TO the mining interests of the
Black Hills:
Deadwood, Whitewood and Bobtail
gulches are alive with industry. Many
rich streaks among the placer and hill
diggings have within the week been
developed; while from Rapid and Cas-
tie creeks the same encouraging report
reaches us. Prospecting is not confined
TO a line of the bonanza belt, for yes
terday, in conversation with prospec-
tors and miners from the Bald Noun
tain, Pennington and Bear gulch dis
tricts, we were told that at all Of these
places shafts are being sunk, tunnels
being driven in, and prospecting for
new finds was the order of the day.
One Thousand men at the least are
prospecting in the Black Hills, and
judging from our unprecedented growth
in three years past, We can look for
ward with certainty in three years
hence, 10 have the largest gold produc-
ing field in the world. The question
most vital to our future has been solved
by the recent developments made In
the Homestake, Terra, Deadwood and
DeSmet, clearly demonstrating that as
