"a, l880-Few neighborhoods, even among
the frontier settlements, have ever Witness
ed Q more exciting scene than that which
nccurred ut q lyceum held at Ha,e's school
house OF last Wednesday evening. the par
ticulsrs Of which are about as follows: A
feud has Tor BUine time existed between one
o. N. Abell and a. G. Thomas, each taking
The advantage of every opportunity to throw
out snme taunt ct his foe. 90 this par,icu.
lar occasion Mr.. A. was assigned to the duty
If preparing and reading q paper before the
lyceum. In which he had very unwisely
admitted an article casting some ref .ctions
against MI Thomas and some of his friends
When Mt. A. attempted to read the Often
aud demanded that Abel should desist or
stop the further reading Of the article. This
demand being unheeded, Thomas, who was
seated 10 the back part of the house, drew
q revolver and e%pringine to his feet leveled
1t at Abelrs heart. At the same Instant
Steve Rock well seized his arm to arrest the
fatal shot. TIE only effect, however. was
20 lower the muzzle Of the revolver and
whir went the deadly missile across the
room over the heads of fifty or more women
aud children. The depressing of the
muzz!e of the weapon saved Abel.
while an innocent, sleeping babe
Of MI. o. Lakes, and Miss Della Fen.
ton became victims, the ball striking the
child in the face, causing a sore flesh wound,
after which 1t struck Della Fenton abou,
the waist ipficting an ugly confused wound
In the meantime r ,ckwell had wrested the
weapon from the williams hand to prevent
further shooting. The ,umult and excite
ment which followed, the wild and frantic
shrieks of the women, the screams of the
children aroused from their slnmbers, and
the clicking of revolvers and the cries Of
"A rope a rope" chang him, hang him."
ETC., all combined to make this one of the
most exciting scenes ever witnessed i
no,thern Nebraska. The timely presence Of
Squire Lnomis and the promp,ness with
which he had the criminal arre.'ed soon re-

Whenever it 90 happens that affairs shape
themselves in q manner which does not
accord with the best Judgment of q commun.
ity which has its own prosperity foremost in
it's mind, the thing for that community TO do
is to pull it's hands out Of it's pockets, place
it's respective heads together, devise new
schemes for mutual good and carry them
out With an energy which will bring success
and no positive, e%arnest, heartfelt, judi.
cicus work ever vet came to want with half
q chance. The true maxim of business life
ia to crowd present opportunities for all they
are worth aud if this is faithfully carried
out there is nowhere 10 the bright lexicon
of genuine enterprise any such word as fail.
In the rush of improvement which has 20
suddenly been thrown upon the west changes
occur with marvellous rapidly. That which
seems to-day as the talk of years is accom-

der over the rapid transformation and its
immediate effects upon localities, progress
will leave US behind. We have no time TO
gloat over success or to deplore failures.
Our work Is with to-day and if We take hold
Of it with = will there can be no doubt about
the result.
Recent railroad movements and changes
have thrown into the lap Of Yankton many

it has been stationary during most of our

changes comes the necessity for adapting
ourselves to new conditions and if We fail to

We now enjoy are . source Of profit and
growth to Us, but the quantity 10 not suf.

Opium Victim

At az early hour this morning a
.nsgTo wencb, commonly called Sally,
was in sad plight from the effects OF
opium smoking. and the chances of
her dying were about as good as any
one could have desired. She has
been addicted to opium smoking for
sometime past, and is dissipsted
generally. She states that she was
out all nigh: on Thuraday, and went
to the Warm Springs on Friday
morning, remaining a long time in
the water. In the afternoon she was
taken with spssIns in a room in
Commercial street., and they became
more frequent and more severe until
this morning, when the doctor sent
some medicine and said be could do
nothing more for her. The chances
at the hour of writing were that
another would be added to the long
list of deaths from opium smoking
and general dissipation. She was
about II or s years of age.

HORN SILVER NINE.
Some Changes in the Management
Of the Big Property.

The long talked of change ia the
proprietorship and management oil
the Horn Silver Compsuy's property
is now taking effect. We mentioned
last week the arrival OF Mr.. H. G.
Hill. the newly appointed general
manager of the company's business,
mining, smelling and mercantile,
and VS. INDUCED IN some general re-
marks upon the more extended opera
tons which this gentleman is likely
20 inauguiate. Preparations for this
have been in progress for some time
st the mine and smelteT; at the mine
IN the erection OF new hosting ma
chinery vito ether improvements;
and at the smelier jn building new
roast'ug works and procuring an in
creased supply OF water. The switch
is now being laid to the mine and
smelter over a rough and broken
country, and up an ascending grade,
which makes the grading difficult and
q Work OF some time. Il will prob
ably taxa two OF three weeks to CON-
plete the labor.
Mr. P. Ryan has been succeeded
in the supeFintsndency of the mins
by Mr. Thomas Couch, who entered
upon his important trust on Wednes-
day. Mr.. COUGHS sound Judgment,
his practical skill, and his superior
executive ability, are a guaranty that
hs will fill his place 10 the sstisfac-
ton OF all concerned, and bring the
Horn Silver Nine into prominence as
an oEe-pToducing property. Mr.. Ryan
retiIes with credit 20 himself and nav
ing the esteem and confidence of his
former principals for the efficient
manner in which he has performed
his duties, and the careful regard he
has paid to her interests. He will
remove to new field OF operations
in Colorado the latter end of the
month, and all will regret to lose go
useful a citizen.
In the smelter, IS We have said. the
question is upon the supply of water.
Two staCks are now running, Sith
an abundant water supply, and Mr.. |
Fohr, the uperintendent of the
smCl,er, enteTtains no doubt that he !
has water enough to run one or two
more furnaces. At the time
Of the accident to the tanks
ard tue collapse OF the wall
upon which they rested, a
test vas being msde Of the capacity
of the well by taking q continuous
stream io- several days. The fall of
the val and the injury TO the steam
pump prevented the test being fully
made as designed. Difficulty is also
likely to be encountered in procuring
ron enough for fiuxing, the two
stacks now running using all the
auxing ore that is brought in. But
this difficulty arises frOm trausporta-
.:or, not from any scarcity Of the
and to remedy this it will
probably be necessary for the CON-
p2uE TO pay a higher price for ii cir
hux so as % induce q greater Dumbar
OF teams % engage in the business
Ia tbs meantime, the bullion,
TO 40 car lolds, which /
has accumulated a. the smelter, is
being shipped 10 Chicago; and ! 600 |
tons Of rcasled ore IRE being sent to 4
