The News, which everybody supposed
had more life than II Klkening cats
has gone up, not in smoke, but into thc
Pioneer Office. Well. Miller has done
well. lie has made it quite warm for
some while the News lived, and We
think he has made little bundle in
selling out. Ii is better to sell ont oi
ones own accord than to be hammered
oil in front of the old man who holds
the scales. Iou bet Miller is nobody +
, fool
The First \. is happy. 1t will have
the handling of the county's funds dur
ing th. Boards term Of oiiico. Tie in
tere,, on the same will pay the salaries
of several oc its employees. OF course.
Dicks better half has gone to Wash
ington. | am of the opinion that Dick.
will never serve any time in the little
town over the water from Queen Nic's
domain. There are some things which
might be written MP. and solid facts too.
| about that celebrated case, which would
| surprise the natives, bat | Will not say
any tling to cnlighten the good people
1T present. Al some future dav, not far
distant, the facts, and terrible stubbprn
ones, too, will be given. The secrets Of
The X. X. X. viii be nowhere.
Times are lively, considering The
church Oh the hii will remain in statu
quo uniil spring. The lnasons cry for
mort" viii be heard no more until next
grass,
Jimmy Martin has returned and he is
glad to get back, and why shouldn't he
be? This is better country than he
has been in since he left the Hills.
The Caledonia has again started up
The liomeStake Co. has made raise of
some more water and the Caledonia folks
are happy. 1t is the opinion Of your
humble subscriber that the Caledonia
stockholders ought to quit their bloody
kicking. The will be al right, If they
will put up while longer and shut up
The last heard from "IIaln' was that
he had squattcd, and was monarch of all
he surveyed. Good.
sPEARFISH ACADEMY
The Spertish academy isa fine scheme.
&. &. Moody, of the Press has said it,
and guess, if Elder Atwood wonld tell
the truth and go ahead with his cigar
smoking and rolling barrels up iiain
street, it would turn ont Just about what
it is. The aforesaid academy was un-
dcrstood to have been started for educa-
tional purposes, but it seems the pro-
grammc has been changed and been
snapped off for scnli-religious hurdy
gurdys, etc. etc.
If Atwood will explain all about his
fight in the streets Of Spcartish with
! old Sitting Bull, alias Elder Ames. we
will tell him how he can be elected
Co. school supt. after Dolph Edwards
term expires The threat to bury old
! Sit. 10 feet deep was pretty good. Per
/ haps some of old Sits divorced wives
might turn up and object to the depth OF
the burial, though.
FIRE.
An alarm of fire was sounded at about
o'clock, Nov. H. Soon after, men
women and chidien, could be seen rush
! ing pcll nell towards Sherman street
your "C' among the rest. Arriving or
the spot, at Mollie Johnston's, we dis
covered Mollie and the in girls grea
terror. The wood bo:; had caught fire
AS near as we could learn, some new ar.
rivals from the states had brought tn,
inhanable material with them, and, a.
the wood box happened to be the first
thing covered, of course it catched. A
box Of Doc Meyers pills soon cXtin
guished The flames, and the crowd dis
persed.
