SoLoMoNvILLE, May 20.


 Mir. Cunningham, better known as "Muldoon," who, during his last stay in town, got crazy drunk and threw a stone through the window of Chinese restaurant and skipped, came into Clifton yesterday and was promptly ar rested. He appeared before Jus tice Sias, acknowledged the offense and was fined 5 or five days. During temporary confinement in the bastile Muldoon composed the following pathetic lines. While not, perhaps, equaling Ten nyson or Longfellow in measure or in accordance with the estab- lished rules of poetry. we imagine that but few can read the lines without due sense of apprecia- tion for the poor mans misdirect- ed genius:
 Now I'm a guest at the Clifton
 free hotel And for ''chuck" I fare quite well: I'm waited on kindly twice every
 day,
 An room rent I never have to pay No bedbugs to tease me, no one to
 annoy,
 And greeted by my friends as they
 chance to pass by. On the banks of the raging Frisco
 I am quietly settled down And taking observations of dear
 old Clifton town; But soon I'll be out, and then I'll
 go about
 And bum my whisky straight until
 I'm full of freight. And when my skin is full I'll take
 just one more pull And lay my boozy head in my
 usual little bed The soft side of plank, or the up
 side of bank, But more frequently, I mutter, I
 lay me in the gutter.

An Agreeable Surprise.

The Vienna Hotel was the scene OF
one of the most pleasant and enjoyable
surprise parties OF Monday evening
that has ever transpired in this city.
The surprise, which was planned, and
most successfully carried out by the
ladies of the Womans Relief Corps of
this city, was suggested by the contem-
plated departure of Miss Rebecca Otter
mann, a member Of that society, for her
home at Hooper, Neb., after a two years
residence in this city, during which
time she has been in charge Of the din
ming room at the Vienna Miss Otter
mann's surprise can be better imagined
than described, upon being casually
called to the parlors, to be confronted
with the ladies of the Relief Corps in
uniform, and a score or more of her
most intimate friends there assembled
in her honor, awaiting her presence.
and the pleasing entertainment which
had been arranged to follow. The
DINING room was improvised for the
purpose of a ball room, and soon the
merry throng were moving in the misty
mazes, to the enchanting strains of the
Custer City Cornet band, without inter
mission, with the exception Of an hour
devoted to the excellent spread of re-
freshments. until the coming ofthe "wee
sma hours" when the curtain fell upon
a social event which in point of enjoy
able features, has never been excelled
in Custer City. Miss Ottermann could
not have desired more convincing proofs
Of the high esteem in which she is held
in this city, and it is the earnest wish of
her many friends that she may, after
enjoyed a pleasant visit with her
relatives in Nebraska. return to this
where a host of friends, who now
her departure, will be ever ready
TO accord her a hearty welcome, J

3, e. M. Surveyors.

The Gillette party ofB. & NJ. surveyors
are again in Red Canyon. From one Of
the party who came in for mail and
supplies on Saturday, We gather, with
no little difficulty the following facts 4:
The main line of the b. x NJ. has been
cross sectioned from Alliance, its present
western terminus, to the Dakota line,
about 25 miles north of Crawford, Neb.
The distance from Alliance to the point
where the road crosses the Dakota line
is about SO miles. From this point to
the mouth of Red Canyon, a distance of
about % miles, preliminary lines have
been run, and the party are now en-
gagged in running further preliminary
lines up the Canyon, with this city as
an objective point.
While it would have been more graft
flying for us to have stated that this par
ty were cross soctioning and setting the
grade stakes, we ARE nevertheless glad
to be able to announce the fact of these
surveyors being still engaged in tins
field, which very clearly shows that the
company have still an anxious eye bear.
ing in this direction, and that they have
not abandoned their apparently vel
settled intention of eventually building
a line through Red Canyon to this city
1t would seem a reasonable supposition
that the party will make more rapid
progress with the line now being run
than was made last winter, and it il ex-
pected that they will reach this place in
two or three weeks, when it is to be
devoutly wished they may return to the
Dakota line and commence cross section
ing north from that point.
With comparatively little or no pos
sibility of gaining reliable information
touching upon the future intentions OF
this company, we can only reason from
the probabilities, which, when fully
considered, very naturally lead us to the
conclusion that this road will be built,
at least as far as this place. during the
present year; thus giving this place
terminal advantages for the coming
winter. $50 mote it be-"

Of the residents of Custer, SO long and

unquestionably fraught with a higher
