J. II. Yates Still Missing.

Some three weeks ago j. H. Yates,
ofthis county. started for Delta from
his ranch about four miles from that
town. for the purpee Of purhasing u
horse. He was seen in Deltaiand pnr-
chased some oranges and other things
t0 take back to his family, leaving them
In y butcher store. Since that time
nothing has been seen seen or heard of
him,
The knowledge of his intention to
purchase horse. it is thought, became
known to som. william who waylaid
him for the purpose of obtaining his
money.
The authorities of Delta county, we
are Informed. have taken no steps to
inquire into the matter, although sew
eral llar,l looking fellows were seen
lettering around the bridge over the
GunnisOn. The officials of Delta are
said .t0 wash their hands of the matter
because Mr.. Yates was resident of
Montrose county. II this is true.
Delta county is taking very narrow
minded view of justice.
The crime, if any, was committed in
Delta county and should therefore be
Investigated by the Sheriff Of Delta.
II these charges are true. sersonal
safety receives but poor protection in
the county below us. We trust that
these charges against Delta may be un-
founded. for if they should be true it
would cast blight upon the little
county which would stick to it for
years. Any information leading to the
fnding of body Of Mr.. J. II. Yates.
dead or alive. may be sent to The Mes.
sessger. Aont,ose Messenger
We reproduce the above to show the
spirit Of the Montrose pencil pusher,
the facts in the case are these.
Mr.. Yates wliv WAS an intimate friend
Of the writer. WAS last seen here on
April End, ut which time we had Il
pleasant Chat Will, Him. AS soon as it
was learned that I've had not gone home
we set tO work to ferret the matter out.
Mr.. M. Payne. \ neighbor and friend of
the missing gentlemen. called at our
Stilce and said Mrs. Yates requested
that no publicity he given the matter
At thxt time. but rs all efforts to locate
Mr.. Yates failed. an open search was
made. We telrgraphed to the Denver
Republican on April 18th. which article
has been extensively copied by the State
papers. Tho INDEPENDENT has made
mention Of the case in every issue since; /;
Sheriff Gheen and his deputies have.
without pay. spent most of their time
In the search. visiting all tile ranches,
exploring the timber and brush lands
and the Rulches. and DRAGGED the river
for quite long distance, in fact done
everything that has been suggested by
the many friends of the missing man.
Whoever told the Messenger that the
authorities had taken no steps to en-
4uire into the matter. and that several
hard lO0king fellows were seen loiter-
ing around the bridge over the Gunni-
sO,,. simply lied. We have no bridge
over tile Gunnison and the whole ar
ticle lias just the same amount of truth
abs,ut 1t as that. We care not to whom

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-11-03

In q previous issue of the CHRONICLE
mention was made of an effort on the
part Of the Custer City board OF trade To
secure the erection OF IA plant ut this city
for the reduction of refractory gold ores
by what is known as the Newbery-
Vautin patent process. The matter,
which must be admitted to be of the
highest Importance to this locality and
the Black Hills at large, is receiving the
arnest attention of the board since its
Introduction by the president, Mr.. &.
w. Robbins, at a meeting a few weeks
since, a report of which, by reason of a
lack of space, did not earlier appear in
the CHRONICLE, is herewith submitted
GENTLEMEN Since our last meeting
I have had turned over to me rs chair
man of the board of trade, a mum.
Der Of letters coming from III expert,
acting for an English syndicate. These
letters were addressed to Mr.. Clarence
Clark, who, with commandable public
spirit. has turned them over to the
board of trade, believing that by the
proper attention and PROMPT action OF
the board, an important industry may
grow ont of it, which vii rebound
much TO the benefit of Custer City and
it's surround ngs. From a perusal of the
letters mentioned, | am enabled To CLEAN
the following information, which |
deem of sufficient Importance TO lay
before this board, and ask your close
and earnest attention.

terrei 10. representing an English syn

n,ld and silver ores, and hearing by
some means that there were mines OF
that character around Custer, has written
to Nh. Clark To ascertain something of
the nature OF the ores around this place,
and from the reply he has received he
has reason 10 believe, that we have the
kind of ore best saited 10 the process or
plant which his company des res to
erect. Mr.. Higgenbottom has kindly

A late Washington special, referring
to the probable result Of an investiga-
lion of the charges preferred against
Governor Church, expresses the view
that no serious results to the Governor
are liable TO arise therefrom, but on the
contrary, the charges submitted not
being of a character to be given consid-
Grafton by the administration, they will
have a tendency to strengthen rather
than weaken his claims upon the honor
able position he now holds.

The first match exhibition of the national

on the landlord George Gaghon, his esti-

many attentions rendered.

faces Of our farmers with thousand dollar

Mouse River Notes.

Henry Egley, while assisting John Town to
| bring home cow from Towner, met with an
| accident which might have been serious.
Town was leading the COW, having rope
| fastened to the pommel of his saddle. Henry
| came up behind with his wild broncho, which
seeing chance to unseat his rider, dashed
forward onto the rope, The rope caught
Henry under the chin, and before Town could
| unfasten it, poor Henry's neck was fearfully
burnt. He now goes around with a deep scar
where none should be.
Prouty & Richardson have imported fine
Percheron stallion from st. Paul. They intend
to go into raising horses as well as cattle.
Their enterprise will be successful, no doubt,
under the able management Of their manager,
Andrew Noble.
Peter Morris has all his mill machinery at
Towner, on its way to Great Falls, where he
will set it up and commence rolling up q new
fortune.
Mr.. Jas. Leonard, cousin of Mrs. A. l..
Sinclair, was at Ely few days. He was ON
his way to Great Falls.
Sinclair Smith, "broncho buster" on the H.
rancho, had q little ughexperience the other
day. While driving horses, a vicious animal
turned ON him, and AS, his pony wheeled to
escape the charge, he put his foot in a badger
hole and over he rolled, "Sink" under. When
he came to, he found his face much the worse
of wear, and now goes around with q black
patch over the prominent part of his face.
