The Yellowstone Park.

Washington, January 10.-In the
Yellowstone correspondence transmit
ted to the senate to-day there appears
a letter from Superintendent Conger to
Secretary Teller, which he asks the lat
ter to consider private.
In 1t he says the hotel company's peo-
pie help themselves to whatever they
want inside or outside the government
Enclosures; cut timber, allow their
herds to overrun government grounds,
and wilfully break down and destroy
the fences erected by the superintend-
emit. Hobart, of the hotel firm, threat
ems to tear down the fences as often as
erected. In consequence Of the de-
struction of the fences the pastures are
overrun by the company's herds, and
are 30 bare of grass that he will be COM
PEELED to take the government stock out
OF the park to winter it, and also pur-
chase food for it at heavy cost. He
closes his letter with this statement:
Hobart has boosted in my hearing
of his influence with you, and that he
had frequent letters from you, and told
n of my assistants you had promised
him l should not visit Washington this
winter. He also said the reason you
would not write to me was you were
not going to have my letters paraded
before congress"
- Secretary Teller replies to Conger,
blaming him for not conveying the in.
formation sooner He refuses to re-
ceive a private communication on pub.
lie business, and says he has placed
Conger's letter on file. He instructs
him to notify Hobart he must comply
strictly with the conditions of the
lease. r-rH
Lieutenant Kingman, in his report
to the secretary of war concerning the
improvements in the Yellowstone park,
estimates that $4,000 can be spent
proftably next eason in Improvement
on old roads, laying out new ones, ant
building bridges. He does not favora
bly, regard the proposition 70 build {
railroad through the park, and consid'
ers it an apparent necessity for the rail
road to disappear upon the completion
of a system of good wagon roads.

A Horrible Confession.

River Head, L. l., January TO-
George Gefferey, indicted with his
wife for the murder of her child, makes
the statement that he killed the child
by holding it between his knees and
twisting its neck to one side until he
thought its neck was broken, and to
make sure, twisted it the other way.
Gefferey contemplated killing the
child for a long time, and thought he
could do so by continual cruelties and
not be held guilty for the crime. Fail
ing, he at last broke its neck. He hat
ed the child because it was not his
own, 1t being a child by the former hus-
band Of ms wife's, and its existence in
terfered with his wife earning money
for him. He had no other motive for
the crime.

DR.. j. j. SOloman, who has just
come in from H%artviile, reports a bad
state of affairs at that place. Many
deeds OF violence have been committed
there OF late which the outside world
knows but little about. The town is
constantly '%terrorized by cowboys and
others who come in from the country
with reyolyers strapped to their belts
and discharge them p~romiscously at
door knobs and other objects, to the
alarm of all peacefully disposed citi-
zens.
The doctor is clerk of the school dis
trict at HartYille, and Hon. j. S. Bart
lett is treasurer, and because of that
fact they have incurred the enmity of
many parties, it being claimed that
they don't want a school there. They
were obliged to leave the place on that
account, according to what we learn
from him, and were pursued some di s.
lance by II lawless gang who fired shots
into the air and were evidently bent on
mischief; but they made their escape.
From other sources we learn hal some
of these lawless parties come into Hart
vile and at the point of the revolver
compel parties to get down on their
knees, dance, etc. Altogether a bad
state of affairs exist at Hartville,

A Rich strike at silver Crown.

W. M. Ferguson, who has been at
work at mining in the Silver Crown dis
trict for nearly four years, has struck
what careful tests have proved to be a
bonanza In the gold and silver line. He
has Of late been working on the liking

feet he began throwing out sand car
Donates, but did not know it at the
time. An expert from Boulder happen
ing there at the time informed him he
was throwing out valuable mineral.
Taking some of the carbonstes and
washing them he found that they Yield
ed 500 colors to the pan. Mr.. Fergu-
son shipped Fifty pounds of the carbo-
prised to find it yield $3.50 to the ton.
He afterwards weighed half a pound of
the dirt and panned it down as low as
he could. Then he took the proceeds
of this washing to Mr.. John W. Col
Inns, of this city, who made a magnify
ing glass test Of it and gave his opinion
that it would yield about $400 to the
ton. When the shaft reached the depth
of eighteen feet he struck a streak of
sold silver, about twelve inches wide.
No tests have as yet been made of the

says it is the first scrap of ore of this
kind he has seen got out Of any of the
mines oountery. A lot Of this ore will
be shipped to Chicago today, to undergo
careful tests. In gathering this bit of
information from Mr.. Ferguson, he de-
sired as to say hat he does not wish to
create the impression that this is the
only valuable mine in the vicinity, but
gives as his opinion that we have in

The Course OF True Love-

ED. LEADEB:-The old story of love
and its consequences. A young soldier
of Fort Laramie, about seven months
ago fell in love with a ranchman's
daughter, and although she is only six
teen years old, they were married about
the LIST of December. They kept it
secret for three weeks before the BRIDES
parents found it out, but when they
did her father~wa sc angry that he
drove her from his house and she had
to walk four miles to said Fort for the
purpose of seeking protection. When
she arrived there her gallant soldier
husband was not able to provide her a
home, as Colonel Gibbon would not al
low him quarters. Mrs. Captain Will
liams, with great sympathy, took her in
and cared for her, and the anger of her
parents being o subdued, they took
her home. The kindness of Captain
Williams and wife will never
be forgotten by the citi-
