Bill Seamands, the Veteran Pros
pectOr and Miner, Has q Re.
markable Experience.
The story told below is from the Wood
River News-Miner, the hero being a former
well known resident Of Eastern Nevada
Billy Seamands lived for years in Elko
county and also has many friends in
Eureka:
Few people who know Bill Sesmands are
aware that his life has always been, and is
now enveloped in the visions of love, and
that he is patiently looking forward to q
blissful future. But such is the case.
Having just returned from Salt Lake City,
where he squared up tithing accounts, and
where he met his first and only love, his
countenance fairly beams with q perfectly
satisfied radiance.
The story is not long. Sixteen years
ago, when Bill was younger and had a
luxuriant growth of curly silken hair, he
met the fair object of his affections. She
was just sixteen, and o mutual admiration
Immediately sprang up. Not a word con-
corning matrimony was ever spoken by
either.
A few days ago Bill visited Salt Lake
City-the first time for II years. There
he met his old love. When he entered the
room where she and her mother were din
ing, Bill became almost paralyzed. He
folded the girl in his arms and kissed her.
She bad frequently declared that she
would never marry until she could marry
Bill, and she renewed the declaration.
She brought out photographs OF Bill that
had been taken IA years go. One Of them
showed that Bill and an Indian had been
photographed together.
Bill supposed that Sarah 1.-THE young
woman's name) had been married or gone
dead long ago.. But before caving he said:
"Well, Sarah, you have waited for me one
sixteen years, and you will probably have
to wait sixteen years more before / am
fixed. When that time comes can I have
her " said Bill, turning to her mother.
"Yes," replied the old lady.
"Then, by Jerusalem. l will" returned
Bill. ~ have many faults. l have been
a bad man."
al know all about you, Bill" said
Sarah, "but with all your faults,I love you
still"
Bill will now proceed to develop his
mines On Dry Fork Of Antelope, and to get
fixed for matrimony as DON as circum-
stances will permit.

Cant. watson.

We mentioned q few days ago that Capt.
J. K. Watson, formerly of Eureka, is q
candidate for the United States Marshal
ship OF Idaho Territory. He seems to be
making a very spirited fight for the place.
About all of our Idaho exchanges are out in
strong articles for him. He should not have
much difficulty in securing the position,
provided Uncle John Haily, Idaho's dele
gate in Congress, is for him. Hsily's man
will be appointed whoever he may be.
Haily stands first class with the President
II we were Captain Watson we would put

He ia the man to do the business. With
put his support no man can win no matter
how strongly backed.

No; revenge must be deferred. Perhaps

SCALES ON TIE FARM.--Thcrc are
l.. Garmors who do not properly estimate
the falue of being able to weigh Iocn the
farm whatever may be produced thereon,
especially that portion to be sold. The
dealer in stock, who comes to your farm to
buy, is estimating and weighing daily, and
becomes SO expert that he can guess tho
weight of an animal within few pounds.
The majority Of farmers cannot do this.
The dealer is going to buy as cheap as he
eau lie asks the farmer his price. The
| reply i, often made that he does not know
what it is really worth; what will he pay for
it. The reply is, he cannot buy and sell;
you must set the price. If the farmer is
really ignorant of its value the dealer soon
discovers it and acts accordingly.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 1O.-The
Indian troubles, as looked upon from
Washington, are becoming more serious.
General Sheridan left here tonight for
Fort Reno. The General desired to be at
the scene Of conflict. a telegram has
been sent to the officer in command,
which says the outbreak must be sup!
pressed even IL the Cheyennes are wiped
out Of existence.
General Miles is expected in the Indian
Territory not later than the frat Of next
week. Hope is expressed that he may be
able to quiet the disturbance without
bloodshed. He is well known to the
Tndians, and is said to hays considerable
influence over them. In q trouble with
the Caeyennes some years ago they sur
rendered to him voluntarily; prior to that
It was their custom to refuse 70 surrender.
The Indian Commissioner had not re.
ceived any kilograms from the scene OF
the disturbance up to the close OF office
hours to-day. In answer to an inquiry as
10 whether 1t was the purpose Of the
Government to disarm the Cheyennes he
firmly declined to give any information.
He declared that great harm might be
done by the premature publication OF the
intentions Of the Government in such
cases. Nevertheless II can be stated that
the Interior Department is strongly in
favor OF disarming tho CheyennesS and
that Inspector Armstrong has recon-
mended the adoption OF this precaution.
