The ADVERTISERS locd editor did
considerable work On the Deadwood
Times last week, on their issue of May
3. At least the Times copied four Of
The sARY4RT1sER's leading locals and
gave no credit. Then they fell back on
the Oelrichs Advocate for one local,
used also without credit. 1t makes no
difference to us; we. can fill up their
local columns with first-class news if
they SO desire.
A general free-for-all scrap took place
at "the Shades" Monday night between
a lot of colored soldiers. At the con-
clusion of the fracas the worst used up
men were: Gum, of A company, who
received severe cut on the head over
the eye; Deal OF ID cempapy, who was
badly stabbed and pounded, and who
also received severe gunshot wound ;
and Lockman, Of X company, who was
badly cut on the arm. Several more
were dressed off in fine shape but re-
ceived nothing very serious. The hos
pital caught the three above mentioned,
and the chances are that they will stay
there for little while.
