Judge Church was engaged Yesterday
afternoon listening to evidence and
argument in support Of an application
for an or,ler upon the receiver in the
Sitting Bull case, to pay certain bills
and claims presented by defendants,
Colonel and Frank Davey. The afi-
davit Of Colonel Davev set forth that
two bars have thus far been run, having
an aggregate value of$l ,952.5S /; that the
mine and mill sre in excellent condi.
ton, and that he expects hereafter to
turn out a bar every two and a half
days. He presented a pay roll amount
ing to $1,32s.t9, and sundry bills for
supplies, etc. The application was re-
sisted by Judge Moody, counsel for
mortgage, on the ground that the labor
or large portion thereof, represented by
the pay ron, was performed anterior to
the order of the court modifying the re-
straining order april A.; and also that
a number Of the bills for supplies had
been paid. Colonel Davey took the
stand and verified the several accounts,
testifying that while the work was per
formed rs claimed, it was in anticipa.
ton of a modification of the restraining
order, and that 1t was necessary to in
sure successful operations. He testified
that the mill il now reducing abou'
twenty-five tons Of 20.ounce ore a day
The sesu!t has not been as good as ht
expected, but more then paid operating
expenses.

tine to the ranch of Messrs. Vicent and
Inland on French creek a short distance
below town. His description Of the
country passed over and the character
Of its soil could be read with profit by
those who contemplate locating in
Northern Nebraska or Southwestern
Dakota. Of the Cheyenne river valley
and Buffalo Gap he says:
ARRIVING on an eminence overlooking
the Cheyenne valley a beautiful picture
was spread before us, the dark contour
Of the Black Hills forming the back
ground. The highest plateau of this
valley is several miles in width. has
good soil and is only waiting the action
of some irrigating company to make it
a veritahle garden. From this table
land to the Cheyenne valley proper a
descent Of one or two hundred feet is
made, the bluffs being very precipitous.
At several points the bluffs are compos-
ed Of a dark material which on closer
examination proved to be docomposed
slate, and when a small quantity of lime
is mixed with this it is said to produce
the gumbo Of this country, and is car
ried by the Cheyenne into the Missouri
river and by the latter deposited along
its entire valley. On the right bank Of
the river we found a new cabin in pro-
cess Of construction, and were informed
here that fifteen new claims had been
taken within the last few weeks and
that at this rate it would be only a short
time until the desirable land in this Sec
tion of the valley would be homestead
ed. After ascending the bluffs we found
ourselves on the famous Buffalo Gap
plateau. Those who have not visited
this country in the last seven or eight
years will be astonished to learn that all
this tract Of country is now held by the
homesteader and most of it under fence
and cultivation. 1t is as hne a tract Of
farming country AS We ever saw and is
easily and cheaply irrigated from Beaver
creek, which flows through Buffalo Gap.
The fortunate possessors of this country
almost believe that they are in the orig
inal garden Of Eden. and one cannot
| blame them for their enthusiasm.

EuFAyLA. Ala, Jan. 14.-Thc storm of

side. Three men We're killed at the
camp ground in Macon County. Trees.
fences and houses were swept away like
chatf. Among the debris of one house de-
molislled near Calera the dead body of a

render recognition impossible. Another
man, name unknown, was killed near the
CANADA River in the western part of
the State. Forests were laid waste.
trees several feet in diameter being torn in
spllntcrs. Wherever the cyclone struck the
railroads the track was strewn with trees.
telegraph poles and wires. In many places
wagon travel is stopped. Houses several
miles from the path of the storm were
made to tremble as if moved bv
the upheaval of. an earthquake. On
several large plantations stock was killed
ana houses RACED to the ground. In
Green County cotton bales were blown hun
dieds OF feet in the air, and near Eutaw a
mouse was struck BY lightning and burned
to the ground. The cyclones career was
one OF undated fury and destruction. The
people Of Alabama have suffered loss Of
property to the amount OF thousands of dol
lars, besides loss Of human life.
