Deadwood, Dakota, March PA news

Pioneer and the Press, and il every day be.
coming more interesting, and at one time
last night it looked as il the end was not far
distant. Col. DOMAIN, editor of the Pioneer,
having taken exceptions to an article which
appeared in the Press, went to that office
aud invited Major Snider, editor Of that
paper, to indulge in a little pistol practice
on one Of the neighboring hills, but for some
cause or other, the major politely declined.
The cause Of all this commotion was the
publication Of IN article in the Pioneer Of
Sunday morning, censuring Judge Moody
for accepting "s,raw bail" for two men who
were arrested on n charge of assaulting Mr.
George Stokes, Of the Press, when in reality
Judge Moody knew nothing Of the case, Il,
being before Police Justice Clark, and al
most the first intimation he had of the affair
WAS from the columns of the Pioneer and
Times of Sunday morning. On Monday the
Judge sent his bailif to those offices to sum
mon their respective editors and proprietors
to step over to the court room and explain
matters. Here we will state that both the
Times and Pioneer charged Judge Moody
with having accepted the bail, knowing it to
be worthless, which is in itself a criminal
%offense. Two representatives of the Times
| appeared before the court and stated that
they got their information from a rumor that
was current upon the streets the day previ-
Gus, and published it supposing 1t to be true
The Judge delivered them a long lecture and
they were dismissed. Neither of the repre-
sentatiyes of the Pioneer responded to the
summons, and when requested to step over
to the court room, r. o. Adams. publisher
Of the Pioneer, told the bailif TO "present
his compliments to Judge Moody and tell
him to 60 to hell" In the evening the
Press appeared in a column and a half arti.
Gle, severely critlcising the action of the
editor and proprietor Of the Pioneer. Think
ing the article a little too personal, Colonel
DOMAIN fastened to the Press Office, and in
an excited manner informed Major Snider
that he had been slandered to such an extent
that he desired to settle the question with
pistols. Momentary alteration is though,
by many to have induced him to challenge
the editor of the Press.
Mr.. Stokes is now considered out Of dan.
ger, although at one time it was feared he
would lose one Of his eyes, but at best he
will be badly disigured with scars.

do, where large placer ~diggings are reported.
1t is estimated that about two hundred men
have already left the Hills for that country
and about five hundred more will leave
within the next four weeks. Nearly all the
placer mines Of the Hills have been:worked
out and although there are plenty Of quartz
mines yet undiscovered, they all require
some capital to develop them, hence this ex-
odus to the Ute country, where placer mines
are reported innumerable.
The recent warm weather has brought out
all the signs of revival of business-but en-
ly signs, nothing more. and old timers, when
spoken to Of general revival of business,
only sigh and say that the good old days are
past-that the new Deadwood is net like it
used to be in the days Of '76, and they will
soon all be off for new diggines. 1t is now
getting too civilized here for them.
