Mrs. Charity Virgins the mother of Thomas

Without the parents consent Bethune took
Tom out OF the state, and put MIN on exhibition
as pianist In 1876 Tom became a citizen of
New York While ON exhibition i'll Virginia
Tom was declared iunatic, and Mr.. Bethunes
son. John Z. Bethune, was declared a COM
manager until 1854, when he died. the elder
Bethune was then appointed. Ip the mean-
time Mrs. Virgins removed to New York CITY
She brought suit against Bethune for tSc
services Oh her sou and an accounting of the
profits of the exhibition since 1865. The suiI

has twelve children, the oldest sixty years
old and the youngest twenty-eight ali
born IN slavery, therefore not born in lawful

The Bad Lands cow boy. [volume] (Little Missouri, Dakota [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-1886, 1886-07-15

To the average reader, it must seem
absolutely Impossible that the soldiers
who are after the Apaches in Arizona,
can be brave men. We have continually
seen articles in eastern papers, drawing
unfavorable comment from the fact that
thousand soldiers have for more than a
year been chasing a hundred Apaches
and have virtually accomplished moth
ing. When we think that the Bad Lands
are almost a level prairie in comparison
with he country in which the Apaches
are fighting, that they know every inch
of it, that they are as we'll or better
armed than the soldiers, that they can
on foot run clear away from troop of
cavalry in day, that they leaye almost
no trail, that they are constantly sub
dividing into bands of from three to twen-
ty and striking where they are least ex-
pected, that they can live in luxury
where soldiers would starve and that
man for man there is no body of troops
in the world match for them on their
chosen battle ground, the results of the
campaign are more easily explained.
About the only feasible way now seems
to be to furnish a sufficient number of
troops SO that every water hole could be
guarded and the Apaches kept moving so
that exhaustion would finally compel
them to surrender.
The Bad Lands cow boy. [volume] (Little Missouri, Dakota [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-1886, 1886-07-15

Word comes from T. r. Sclmes that
those who have not already done SO,
should imme mediately send certified checks
to the FIRST Nat. Bank Of Mandan, for the
amount taxed against them by Stark
county. This is not in payment of the
tax, but is to be held in trust by the
bank, until the suit is decided. It is un-
derstood that any other person or firm
taxed by Stark county whether residing
in Billings county or not, can thus send
in a certified check and escape taxation
unless the case is decided against us.
The above plan is simply another way Of
putting UP bond for costs. It is un-
|doubte.lly a fairer plan, as each then
assumes the full measure Of his own res
possibility, instead of putting it on the
shoulders of bondsmen. Our case looks
as promising as ever and we see no rea-
SOL why we should not win. We learn
that there are stilEa few taxpayers who
have not joined in the agreement to fight
the case, but will be equally benefited in
the decision. This is doubtless owing to
the fact that they. do not realize that
this case involves the right of taxation
by Stark county, ofsall outsiders assessed
by it and consequently all are interested
who come under this head. All who
have not yet done 80 should express a
willingness to stand their share Of the
expense. " s. .- -.

Bill Lundy Of the 10 outfit, has left the
country with no enviable reputation ba-
hind him. He has for some, time been
worming himself into the confidence Of
other boys in the outfit and borrowing
what he could of them. He also drew
his pay in advance from the 13 company.
Some time ago, he drew more money on
the plea of paying some bills in Belfeld
and started for there. He landed in
Medora and with a plausible tale, in
duced T.W. Gordon to trust him for a
suit of clothes. He then boarded the cars
and the last heard of him was at Miles
City. He came here from the Judith
Basin and it is supposed he returned
there. The boys Of the l3 outfit are
especially angered over tile actions: Of
this dead beat and want him shown UP
in all the COW papers Of the west. 1t is
just this kind of a rascal that hurts the
reputation Of cowboys as a class and
each should feel it his duty to bring him
to justice. Range papers will confer a
favor by copying the above s..

As shown by our report, the cattle
market about holds its own, with no par
ticular increase Or decrease. There does
not seem, however, to be that shaky feel
ing which characte terized last years mar
ket at this season. Prices bid fair to bold
up well and there viii probably IS no
long depression. 1t can:be BET down as a
maxim that good cattle will always
bring good figures. Poor cattle viii
only by accident bring good price. For
instance, Monday, some Colorado and
Nebraska grass cattle averaging 1900 to
1900 lbs, brought $4.75@S5O0: On the
other hand some big, horsey, raw-boned
Washington Territory cattle weighing
1,2OO lbs, brought only $3.50. Texas
cattle are generally very poor and aver
aging the different grades, did not bring
over s2.65. Very few Montana and Dak-
ota cattle have been shipped, but they
have brought good prices.
