Aneighborhool a few miles from Nelson
has got into quite a snarl, resulting from
a love affair. Mr.. byron D. Brown has a
pretty daughter Nellie, only Is years old,
who lost her heart to Abram Houghtail-
ing, who had worked for her father aud
who was superintendent of the Sunday
school of the nclghborhood. Thu young
man was very much in love with tho little
girl, but the father was unfcsling and for
bade him the house. Upon this a CORE
spondence between the love-strickcn pair
took place which raised the wrath of the
father and he threatened to shoot the
young man if he tried further to interfere
with his family. The boy, unwilling to
move out of the county for the present,
caused an action to be brought against
byron D. Brown before the justice Of the
peace to have him bound over to keep the
peace. The trial occupied a largo part of
two days and the court room was filled
with witnesses and spectators, md it was
evident that the whole ncighborhood had
taken sides with the one side or the other.
After q full hearing Mir. Brown twas dis
charged, and Mr.. Houghtailing will have to
foot the costs.

BLACK Hills Pioneer. Organize.

A Deadwood special Of the 9Th contains
the following account of a meeting of
Black Hills pioneers for the purpose of
organization: The meeting of pioneers of
the Black Hills at the court house tonight
is II gathering of representative men. The
only qualification necessary to become a
member of the society is arrival prior to
December 81, 1876. and as You look over
the assembly you see faces that have been
familiar for the past thirteen years, aud
men who represent every station aud CON.
dition in our social system. Some have
prospered while many are as they were
when they came. They have nothing but
hope and u good digestion. The meeting
%revives recollections of early struggles
roads from Sidney and Cheyenne to the
hills were lined on either side with newly
made graves; when gold dust was our only
currency, and every man had a pair Of
scales and Il buckskin bag. Fully two
hundred and fifty people are present from
the five Black Hills counties, and the
meeting, unlike Il political gathering, is
very harmonious. Hon. John n. Brennan,
of Rapid City, was made temporary chair
man, and T.. F. Whitbeck temporary secre-
tary. Committees on constitution ind
bylaws and permanent organization were
appointed and a recess of twenty minutes
taken. Upon r~eassembling the reading

Doing Good Work for Admission.
g. A. Mathews, delegate elect from Da-
kota, started last week for Washington,
expecting to reach the capital city in time
to see the democrats take up the Dakota
measure. He goes at the instigation Of
Delegate Clifford, with whom his relations
are most friendly. To IL friend he stated
that his object in this visit was to aid
what he might in the most speedy division
and admission of the Dakotas. It was
suggested that the admission of Dakota
by the present congress would destroy his
Office before he could take his seat, to
which Mr.. Mathews replied that he could
not consent for mere personal considera-
government which had SO long stood as q
II to Dakota's material interests.
While it would crafty him to represent SO
great u constituency as that by which he
had been elected, he believed it would be
even more gratifying to feel that he in
common with his fellow sufferers were
f~ull-fedged citizens of the United States.
To that end he had worked in the past
and would continue to work until success
shall have crowned the efforts of the faith
full.
