Commenting on the recent .embezzle-
ment of $500 from John s,iers by Geo.
Williams in the western part Of this
county some six weeks ago, and his
subsequent arrest and imprisonment
in New York as he was about to take
pa sage for Brazil, tlleNew York II eraEd
says: Out on the breezy plains cs far
off Dakota, where the festise COW
chcws bunch grass and humanity in
general goes around attired in sombre-
ros and top boots, the herds belonging
TO John Siers roamed over the spacious
ranges in the vicinity of Buffalo Gap,
Custer county. A shadow has fallen
over the camp fire on the Siers ranch
and the cowboys mourn the treachery
of a late comrade and chief. June IL,
his employer gave this redoutable mus
tang tanner the sum of $500 with which
to pay the wages of the cowboys and
help employed on the ranch, Joe COM
menced to speculate as to what might
lie accomplished with a capital of $500.
From speculating he went to peculatine
and wien the sun rose on the following
morning it was found that Dakota joe
was missing. He had 'vamosed" from
the ranch and gone. neglecting to liqui-
date the wages of his fellew bronchc
riders before his departure. On July
9th the following dispatch was re-
ceived at police headquarters from
Buffalo Gap: .'Arrest for embezzle-
ment George Williams, six feet tall,
weighs $50; light complexion. He is
waiting for saddle shipped by Wells,
Fargo express from Chadron, Neb., to
New York. Mr.. d. b. Horton, agent
Of Wells, Fargo express, or some Of his
delivery clerks will know just where to
find him, as he is waiting for an answer
to a message from Chadron in regard
to saddle. Expected to be starting for
Brazil. Wire here when YOU get him. :"
Two Central Office detectives were
handed this teleergm and on Saturday
morning they arrested George Williams
alias Dakota Joe" as be was leaving
the Wells, Fargo Express company on
Broadway. The prisoner was brought
into the Tombs Police Court yesterday
and attracted much attention by his
long hair and bronzed countenance.
He carried huge sbmbrero in his hand
and looked a typical cowboy. He said
he was native of Crook county, Wvo.
He acknowledged the larceny with
which he was charged and was held by
Justice Smith until the arrival Of requi-
sition papers from Dakota where his
presence Is urgently desired.

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-01-28

tion on the subject of Black Hills
mines three months ago, it is to-day a
very easy matter, and the legitimate
character Of mining investments which
heretofore were regarded as being doubt
full, are now considered, in this regard,
upon par with real estate transactions
Mr.. Moore expresses a lively hope for
the early advancement of Black Hills
mining interests saying that this section.
should it continue to grow in favor az it
has during the past few months, which
there is no reason to doubt, very large
amount of capital will soon be seeking in
vestment in Black III lis mining property,
and especially in the tin locations
which are now attracting especial atten-
ton throughout the country at large.

Union Cattle Company.

The CnRoNIcLE, by reason of being
misinformed, erred in stating in the
issue Of last week that the Union Cattle
company had made an assignment,
Later advices show that no assignment
has been made, but that upon applica-
ton Of the stockholders, receivers were
appointed This action was prompted
bv complications resulting from losses
and shrinkage on value, which IT was
feared would lead to hasty action on
the part of some of the creditors, and to
prevent sacrifice it was thought best to
have a friendly receiver appointed, and
thus protect the interests Of all concern
ed. The assets Of the company are said
to be 100000; liabilities $l,l25 900
Thomss Sturgis, president of the com
pany, says the affairs will be carried on
as at present, and believes the company
will very soon again resume charge OF
its business.

Refreshing.

There appears in the New York En-
gineering and Mining Journal of tn.
2lst inst, notice of five tin claims fol
sale in Custer county. which are de
scribed as being partially prospected
Commenting upon the notice that paper
says:
Elsewhere will be found an advertise
ment for the sale Of five adjoining tin
claims in Dakota. 1t is refreshing to
hear Of any one wanting TO sell tin
prospect, not claiming that it is anything
more"
If the Journal man was as well in
formed AS he sometime since claimed
to be, in regard to tin matters in this
country, he would not have thus airel 4
his ignorance. He should have long
since learned that tin prospects meet
with ready sale in this locality, which
is largely due to the fact of that paper
attracting public attention to them in
the persistent, but futile effort to impress
the public with the groundless belief of
their total lack of merit. The Journal
man should come to Custer and be
further refreshed.

Searles Squelched.

Even the worthy brethren Of the
church are liable occasionally to 90
astray. Rev. Jesse ID. Searles, of the NJ.
r. church recently had his pre-emption
proof rejected He took up claim al
Hot Springs, as did also another rever-
end gentleman and an eX Judge of the
Dakota bench, each of whom were re-
jected for false pretenses. This Rev
Searles resided on his land not four
months; his family was there twice
he was a minister at Deadwood all the
time; had the gall TO try and secure l6C
acres on pretense of six months or
more residence. The land office sat
down on him.-Sturgis Record.
This man Searles will be rememb cred
by many of our local readers as the de.
ceptive divine who done the double
act" at session of the Black Hills
Methodist Mission four years ago al
Rapid in the drama entitled "The loca
ton Of the Black Hills Methodist Col
lege," which act was not calculated 4;
add to his reputation for probity in thi'
place and as a consequence his ran
dom revelations under oath as referred
to by the Record, will be read here with
little, if any, surprise.

That Creamery.

We attempted to print an item Of news
in yesterdays Times concerning an
industry near Custer on the old tele-
graph road, and by mistake give the
credit of the enterprise to wrong per-
son. Joseph Reynolds who lives about
six miles south Of Rockford is in the
cattle growing business Thus far the
item was correct but in 1876 Uriah Gil
lette came into the country with no
earthly possession but his gun, located
on the Custer road about ten miles this
side Of Custer end fifteen miles south OF
Reynolds, and by his industry has ac-
cumulated large lot of several hundred
cattle, mostly COWS, and he is now max
ing expensive preparations to embark
IN the creamery and butter business,
the manufacture Of butter to be operated
by steam. He has the largest barn in
or around the Black Hills, being 45xl0C
feet with stalls for l25 cows, and stor
age capacity over head for two hundred
tons Of hay. 1t is Mr.. Gillette to whom
