Deadwood Times: Acting Governor
George H. Hand. Of Dakota, is putting his
best foot forward for the position made va
cant by the death of Gov. Howard, and
with some prospects of success. Private
kilograms received III this city yesterday
from Yankton were sent,in the interest Of
his candidacy.
A gentleman who lives up the Missouri
remarked yesterday that, not for ten hum
dred million. dollars in hard cash would he
permit his family to remain at Spotted Tail

The prairie fire mentioned by us as oc.
curing a week ago last Friday east of town
did some damage near Marindahl. Three
horses belonging 10 E. Holseth, together
with the stable in which they were kept
were burned. Mr.. Holseth's timber was
also burned and some timber belonging to
c. Peterson and o. Erickson. The fire
started from q burning straw pile belonging
to B. Haugan.
A con6ding little girl who was in our OF.
fee to-day impaired. in a between-you-and-1
whisper, the information that they had out
on their farm a COW and its name was Hook
ey, and a calf and its name was Rosebud,
and they went out and petted the cows
horns and she didn't care. Sweet names,
Hockey and Rosebud. They remind US of
boyhood and neutrality-suspicious., as it
were, of the sentiments of those two periods.
General Cooks opening speech when he
took possession Of Spotted Tail agency, as
reported to US, ran to the effect that he
with a big HI was going to run that agen-
cy in the future. Squatted upon the ground
around HIM was the bone, sinew and talent
of the band and from out the dusky ring
there came a g%utteral laugh, sardonic in its
way and skeptical as to a ful6llment Of the
prediction. Spots reply was that in the
sweet by and by they would see about it.
The Deadwood Pioneer says, "Among
the many questions that are being daily
asked, are: What ia the reason Detective
Llewellyn and Boone May do not come back
here to answer to the charge of murder ?
According to all accounts Boone May is on
his way to the Ute country, with no inten-
ton of ever returning, and Llewellyn is
trying to rustic up some other job around
Washington, to keep away from the scene
of the murder" So far as Llewellyn is
concerned we can answer. He is here in
the interest Of this great and glorious gov.
eminent in its efforts to ruin the reputation
of DR.. Livingston. Several other detectives
have been here from time TO time on the
same business, one of them, it is reported,
being specially detailed to watch the federal
officials and report what they say about the
Livingston cases.
The concert given last evening BY the
Tennesseeans, at the Congregational church,
was n of the most entertaining musical
affairs ever given in Yankton. The Ten
nesseeans, always among the best of their
profession, have improved with their years
OF practice and have reached a degree Of
perfection which can only be attained by an
assemblaee of genuine artists. There is
something in their music which strikes a
popular chord. The trained ear and the
unframed ear is alike delighted, and en-
thusiastic appreciation carries the audience.
The aver popular jubilee songs were inter.
spersed with selections calling for a higher
degree Of proficiency and all were exquisite
ly rendered. There has been nothing in the
musical line which has 80 completely de-
lighted the people as last nights entertain
ment. The church was crowded with PEG
pie and the audience was of a thoroughly
appreciative nature. The receipts amounted
to S266.50, twenty-five per cent of which
goes to the Methodist church. The Ten
nesseeans will give their last concert in this
city at the Congregational church this even
