great deal of his family. When Mr..
Cameron went 10 Dinninhotfs house
Wednesday night, the water was up
TO the floor, and the family could not
leave then. II was TOO late. There
was a great current of water running
between the house and high land. MI

and ne knew he would never get
ashore with his family,s so he staid there
and they were all drowned together
When Mr.. Cameron started TO *

Last week, because DIR. Lighthall,
the great Indian doctor and lightning
tooth puller, failed to comply with a
provision of the law in not
having his State license recorded in
the County Clerks Office, a warrant
was issued against him and he was
fined 500. The Governor, as soon as
the matter was brought TO his attention,
Immediately RENTED the fine, but the
costs had to be paid. The Doctor, with
characteristic liberality, left the bal
ance-seventy odd dollars-with
Mr.. ID. C. Crutcher to be devoted to
some charitable purpose. In cOmpli-
ance with the request Mr.. Crutcher
took the money and divided it equally
between the ten Churches of the city,
both white and cOlOred. Whatever
else may be said of the Doctor, he GER
tainly conducts himself as perfect
gentleman, does a great deal of good
for the poor Of every community he
visits, and there is great virtue in
some of his medicines.

ravine leading towards Glens Creek,
inundated the house of a cOlOred man
in its course, washed away his stable,
and drowned horse belonging to Mr..

time, and did great damage to the

A Few plain Facts.

There is a good deal Of rot being pub
lished Just now by the newspapers Of this
section in regard to the labor troubles on
the line Of the Union Pacific railroad and
in It's coal mines. The claim is made that
white men have been starving, and that
Cinnamon have taken their places in the
mines. This is all a barefaced lie. No
white men have been discharged and no
additional Chinese laborers have been i'm
ported. For the last ten years the China
men not required in the coal mines in the
spring. have been put to work as section
hands on the road, and again returned
to their work in the coal mines in the fall,
when the demand for coal increased. This,
and nothing more, has been done this
year. The fiction that white coal miners
are starving is too silly for the marines.
1t is a well known fact that Wyoming
coal miners get from so to so per cent.
more pay than any other class of laborers,
skilled or unskilled, in the territory.
The contract price for coal mining is
so extremely liberal, that the local labor
organizations at the mines have establish
ed a rule that no man shall be permitted
to earn more than six dollars per day.
When he has earned that amount, he
u stop for the day, and give some-
body else a chance to carr a like amount.
What laborer or artisan in this or any
other locality earns six dollars per day, or
could earn ten. if the rules of his union
would permit it2 A newspaper should
give facts, and here they are. Poetry and
fiction in regard to the subject under pres
ent consideration is uncalled for. The
writer Las been among the coal fields of
Wyoming. and knows what he is talking
about 1t is time that the people of
Wyoming and elsewhere should under.
stand the situation, and it will be THE
LEADERS business to give them the facts
as they are without prejudice for or
against either the laborer or the en-
plOyer.

s~EBAsrIAN BECK.
The Man Whose Skeleton Was Found
Near Fort Russell.

.
The Omaha Bee, commenting on the
telegram from this city to the Denver
Tribune Republican concerning the find
ing of skeleton lately near Fort Russell,
says:
Sebastian Beck was well known in
Omaha, where he frequently used to come
to beg a little money to assist him in his
aimless wanderings from place to place.
He was also well known at the fort, where
he was regarded by the soldiers as a harm
less old camp bum and treated accord
lngly. He was partially demented from
drink and troubles. His story, which
perhaps was true and perhaps was not.
he invariably coupled with a request for
aims. Beck claimed he had enlisted dur
ing the civil war, had deserted in 1870,
or t~hereabouts, aud had re-enlisted. He
claimed distinction on the score of being
one Of the survivors Of the Custer mas
sacre. Shortly afterwards, as be said, he.
his wife and his children were captured
by the Indians and held in abjeet bondage.
He himself managed to escape by "a clever
piece OF strategy, but his wife and chill
dren were held several years before their
release could be obtained.
Beck was written up two or three
years ago in the Bee, and. shortly after
wards il. the columns of another paper.
Last August, on his return to Omaha, he
came to this Office and again requested
that he be interviewed, forgetting that
the story Of his life and wanderings had
once before been presented to the public
in the columns Of the Bee. He was well
known at the posts throughout the de-
partment of the Missouri, and had been
written up in the journals Of nearly
town 10 Missouri which he used to visit.
