MARSHALL, Ten, Oct. 19.-An-
thony Walker colored, who was con-
victed OF the killing Of VIM. Henry at
the last term of the district court, the
sentence of the court having been APP
proved by the supreme court, has
made full confession of his guilt and
all the circumstances connected with
the unfortunate affair, which are sub
stantially as follows:
Henry and his family lived about
eight miles distant from this city.
They had no children. Their domestic
relations were not happy. Anthony
Walker lived near them and was on
intimate terms with Mrs. Henry. An
thony gays that Mrs. Henry APP
preached him on the subject Of killing
Henry and promised TO give him
$50 in money and 100 acres of land If
he would kill Henry. He agreed TO
the proposition and faithfully carried
out his part of the contract by lying
in ambush on the night of November
u, 1888, and shooting him at sight
with the contents OF his double-barrel
shotgun well loaded with buckshot.
He lived only few hours
and died in great agony. There were
three negroes accompanying Henry at
the time he was shot, one OF whom
recognized Anthony at the time OF the
firing, and 1t was upon their evidence
| that he has been convicted. Anthony
| says that there were two other negroes
| present when he and Mrs. Henry made
| the contract for him to do the killing
Upon the fact of this
latter relation the officers of the law
have had warrant issued and placed
/ in the hands of the sheriff for the ar
rest of Mrs. Henry, and they have
| gone out TO execute It. Anthony
Walker Is full-blood negro,
aged about forty-two, and OF
| pleasant and agreeable address.
He is a preacher of the Christian
church. He is cheerful and resigned
TO the horrible fate that awaits him
! District court convenes in a few days
when the final sentence of the law
will be pronounced, fixing the day for
| his execution.

Inexhaustible beds ~ofgypsum encircle

With the advent of railroads, il will be

Petroleum is found on the west side of
the Hills in Wyoming territory near the
boundary line between Dakota and
Wyoming. No works have rs yet been
established for refining. 1t is only used
for lubricating purposes by the Home

Salt springs are situated about eight
miles northeast of the oil springs and in
Wyoming territory. Salt for the entire
Hills is manufactured here, and sold on
the gr und for two cents per pound.

sand stone, granite, slate porphyry and
limestone is plentiful, and is found in
every part of the Hills.
The Black Hills is a well watered
country, being drained by the forks of

month teamsters, $40 to $50; day labor
ers, So per day mechanics from 81 to So
per day miners, 81 per day.
Money is loaned at from Is To SO per
cent per annum. The reason ofsuch high
rate of interest is that there are SO many
opportunities Of investing money to
good advantage that few people have
any to loan. and the demand has always
exceeded the supply.

CUSTER CITY,

NinlEh NIAl
The pioneer town ofthe Hills is situat-
ed in the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by all as excelling all others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in a valley ten or twelve miles
long by one nile in width, it is easily
accessible to railroads either from the
east, south or west, and is he only town
in the Hills that could be tapped by a
road running on an east and west line,
from either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town. a road. having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast, would have to make a
detou. from 100 to POO miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
ed 1t draws TO its support the business
of the mining districts of the Southern
Hills and also that Of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex-
tending for sixty miles TO the south and
west. 1t is also the centre Of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within q radius of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of which is upward of
10000 pounds of merchantable mica to
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mines of the Southern Hills includ-
ing the Grand Junction, Old Bill, Hart.
ford, Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo, Penob-
scot, Gold Star and others, a majority OF
which have mills, hosting works, etc.
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are TO be found rich cop.
) per and silver mines and on the west
: the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and OF
: springs, while fertile farming lands are
/, sandwiched in between all. As an illu
f s~tration Of the money TO be made Oh
even a small piece Of farming land in
he valleys surrounding Custer we will
state that j. n. Wright on seventeen
r acres, located two miles west of town
cleared 81 500 in II summer. On the
, south, within six or eight hours ride
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
alive powers are already attracting the
attention of the outside world, and
which are equal to those Of Arkansas
The town is the county seat of Custer
county, which hasan area Of 5000 square
!, miles, two-thirds of which is agriculture
and grazing lands and the other thirC
mineral, the latter occupying the north
t ern portion Of the county are covered
t with a heavy growth Of Norway pine
The town has Il $4,000 court house, tive
fine church-buildings, belonging to tn
Methodist and Congregational societies
and will oon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
. ments are being made daily and it i
l bound to be the metropolis ofthe South
ern Hills. All those of our eastern
readers who think Of coming to Dakot'
t to locate and invest in either mercantile
mining, agricultural or stock raisin,
pursuits can do no better than to cam
in Custer county or city.

THEINDUSTRIAL CONGRESS.
A Slim Attendance, but No Uncertain
Sound On the Tariff Question.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-The representa-
tives in att enhance upon the National
Industrial congress began their session
here this forenoon. The attendance is
light, only forty-two delegates being
present.
Il. ID. Curtis of Syracuse, n. Y, was
selected temporary chairman. On
taking the chair he delivered an
address in strong advocacy of
protection rs opposed To free trade,
and declared the salvation
of American industry rested
in their markings common ilghtagainst
the advocate of free trade, irrespective
of political party lines. The majority
of delegates present represent the beet,
sugar, sorghum, jute, flax and SILK In
dustries, and will urge upon the ma
tional Republican and Democratic con-
vention tine necessity of protective laws
to prevent their destruction.
Mr.. Louis Bush of Louisiana was
elected permanent chairman, and n
committee on resolutions appointed.
Adjourned till Up. III.
Mr.. Bush made n protection speech.
He said the sugar interests of Louisiana
want ID incidental protection.
Az lue Colciusiou vi MS ic",o' -
Judge Atwater of Minnesota said he
had come to the convention under the
misapprehension that 1t was called for
the purpose of discussing the needs OF
the industrial interests OF the country,
/ but from the tenor of the
presidents speech he found
the convention had cut and dried its
proceedings in the interest of protec-
zion. The -four and grain interests OF
| Minnesota were opposed To more pro-
lection, and he, therefore, asked that
he be permitted to withdraw from the
convention.
President Bush replied that Judge
Atwater's assumption was erroneous:
A majority of those present favored
protection, but this would not prevent
| debate.
