The following from the Montrose,
Iowa, Journal of the 3lst ult., will serve
to indicate the social standing of our
new teacher, Miss Johnesse, in com
munitv where she is well known, and
will also serve as an introduction for
that lady in this community, where, as
yet, she is comparative stranger:
The members Of the Good Templar
lodge, of Montrose No. 50 met last Mon
day evening at their hall for the purpose
Of spending the last meeting, for many
months with our Worthy Chief Miss
Iettie Johnesse, who departed last Tues
day for Custer, Dakota, where she has
secured a position as teacher. Miss
Lettie is smart, talented young lady
and one of our best young girls. She
will be sadly missed by tho young peo-
pie of this place as she was esteemed by
all who knew her and we sincerely hope
that she may meet with as true friends
in her new abode as she has left in
Montrose. She was accompanied to the
train by all her young friends, where
the sad farewells were spoken.

Shot at Lookout.

Chris Lane, a miner who had been in
the employ of the Wheeler Hill com
pany at Castle creek, was shot and
instantly killed by +. b. Purcell, at
Lookout, on Tuesday morning, the llth
inst.
The parties concerned were both
miners, and had spent the night previ-
Gus in gambling and drinking, which led
TO quarrel between them about the
result Of the game. Purcell, desirous Of
evading trouble, left the saloon, and
went to the boarding house, where Lane
followed him with "A Winchester rife,
with, as stated, the avowed intention of
killing him. Entering the dining room
where Purcell was, Lane presented his
gun as if in the act Of firing, when
Purcell, who by this time had armed
himself with revolver, fired three
shots at him, from the effects Of which
he almost instantly expired. 1t is the
general impression az Lookout that the
shooting was entirely justifiable. Pure
ell was taken to Rapid, where he is now
confined in the county Jail.

Shooting az Hermosa,

On Tuesday evening, Harry Turpin, a
miner formerly located at the Eta Tin
camp while in a state of intoxication
was elected from the Battle River House
by the proprietor, w. n. Walker, for
using insulting language, and in other
ways conducting himself in an unbe-
coming manner. Feeling agrieved he
re-possessed himself ofa revolver which
had previously been taken away from
him, and proceeded to open fire on Mr..
Walker, firing two shots at him, neither
Jay seeing the danger TO which his
father was exposed, rushed forward and
grabbed Turpins arm, thus turning the
revolver III such manner as TO cause
Turpin to receive the charge which at
that instant he was in the act of dis
charging; the ball entering his arm
about three inches below the elbow,
shattering one OF the bones to the ex-
tent of about four inches, and passing
out on the opposite side.
DR.. Siddons of Hermosa, and DR.. Long
of this city were called and administer
ed the necessary aid. Turpin is said to
be very quiet man when sober, but
inclined to be quarrelsome and handy
with his gun when under the influence
of drink. He was placed under arrest,
and will be tried for the otIense before
the fall term of the district court in this
city.

Shut Down.

The Gold Star mill, which has been
operated at Four Mile by West q Co.
for the past three months will shut down
this evening. The reason for discon-
tinuing operations are ideniica. W tn the
reasons for winch every mill which has
ever been operated in this locality was
compelled TO shut down; simply be-
cause the ore was not free milling III
character. The reason is not found in
the barren character of the rock as may
be claimed by those not familiar with
the gold ores Of this section, but is
wholly due to the improper and incon-
gruous method adopted in its reduction,
which is no more adapted to its treat
ment, than it would be to the ores of
Bald Mountain or Ruby Basin. 1t is
true that spots have been occasionally
found upon the surface Of certain lodes,
where precipitation has resulted from
natures teaching process, and to this
fact is due the erroneous impression,
that the ores of this region could be
successfully treated by the ordinary
milling process. 1t may now be safely
conceded that there will be no successful
results reached in the reduction of the
gold ores Of the southern Hills, until
operators accept the fact, which at this
time should be patent to all, of their
rebellious character, and like the more
enterprising promoters Of mining opera
tions in the northern Hills, proceed to
the adoption of methods which are
better adapted to its profitable reduc-
ton

Lost Cabin.

The Deadwood Times in recent is
sue chronicles the late discovery, by a
tenderfoot named Eastwood, and his
partner, thirty miles northwest Dead
wood, in n deep gulch, abounding III
brush, rock and briars, the veritable
legendary cabin, where dwelt the
primitive Black Hills miner, who after
supplying various Indian agencies, and
Father De Smet with golden nuggets,
with which to advertise the aurierous
placers of the new colorado, shutiied oil
at the instance OF the red monarchs of
the realm, and left nothing but legend
by which TO trace the enticing spot,
from whence came this gold galore
The Times says, in description OF the
charmed locality The ruins of an old
cabin was found. which through decay
had settled down into heap. The dirt
roof of the old structure is now about
four feet above the level, but the
rotten logs show all around They
found the remains of two gold pans, an
old pick with the handle rotted out, and
the skeleton of human being. They
saw no evidence of wealth or mines, but
will go back soon to see what there is in
the neighborhood. From all appear
ances this cabin antedates everything
heretofore found. We have faith in
this story, as the men are reliable"

Watermelons are delicious; and an
inordinate fondness for the crimson
oored luxury is not only found among
the ebony hued denizens of the south
ern plantation, but is equally common
among the fair skinned residents Of
northern latitudcs This city during
the past week, may be said to have been
well supplied with this very desirable
luxury, and at prices which brought
them within the reach of all. Even the
impecunious printer, who has been thus
far pitilessly ignored by the prosperous
producers, has, by reason of the low
rate, been able to indulge in the luxury,
and barring the pains and penalties
which not infrequently follow over
indulgence, has greatly enjoyed the
same. We trust that no more than one
of our farmer friends will, at any one
time, leave 2 sample Of their melon pro-
ducts at this Office for our inspection
etc, as the result might be somewhat
damaging in it's effects, but We announce
our willingness to test this product
singly, and assume the risk Of serious
results Please don't all come at once,
remembering that enough is so good as

for the crimson-cored variety, but VIII

represent the combined colors Of the

might have been expected, are said to
be somewhat displeased with the late
action of the board of education, in ex-
Guiding from the schools children under
six years Of age. The Journal of that
place, referring to the matter says
"The action of the Rapid City board of
education in excluding from the public
schools all children under six years Of
age has been rendered necessary. Edu-
cutors generally agree that children
should. not be sent to school younger
than seven years, OF course children
differ, and what might benefit or injure
