ia
The following accurate description Of
the average Black Hills editor and
publisher appeared in the Rapid City Re
publican of last Saturday, in an article
on the over production of newspapers:
He should be good printer, pressman,
accountant, collector, writer and report
er. In the country he needs to be a
rustler, job printer, political speaker,
class leader and Sunday school super
intendent, able to supply the preachers
place in his absence, lead the choir and
play cinch in the back room of saloon
when one is lacking to make up the
game. 1t is rare that one man has all
these accomplishments. If he has he is
apt to get them mixed, and pass when he
ought to pray. The organization neces-
sary to publish paper in small town
is much more difficult than in city, for
in the first, one man generally is editor
in-chief, managing editor, news editor,
reporter for church socials, and scrap
ping matches, temperance meetings and
horse races. He must be profound in
everything men or women are interested
in from the next election of mayor to the
next discussion of s'our rector's" ortho-

Doherty Captured.

The missing Homestake train wrecker,
Jack Doherty Dorrity Dougherty
Daugherty -or which ever way one has
a mind to spell it, was captured last
week in Douglas, Wyoming. He
strolled into the town wearing couple
of six shooters and going into saloon
started game of billiards. Sheriff
Williams walked in, held him up with a
gun and gathered him in.
Doherty waived all requisition form
alities and returned to Deadwood Tues
day morning with Sam Blackstone and
Sheriff Williams.
Tuesday afternoon Superintendent
Grier handed to Sheriff Williams the
Homestake company's check for $1,000,
the reward advertised.

Lieut.. Geo. Il. Webb Fired.


Army any Navy Journal: Lieutenant
George II. Webb, 18th U. S. Infantry,
left the service on Thursday by resig-
nation. Touching the cause of this a ST.
Paul dispatch to the Baltimore sun says;
Recently the commissioned officers at
Fl. Custer waited upon Colonel Dudley
in body and made charges of gross
immortality. Lieutenant Webb was loud
in his professions of innocence, but Colo
mel Dudley made an Investigation, which
resulted in developing positive proof Of
Webb's guilt. Colonel Dudley called
the officer before him and offered him
the alternative of courtmartial or imme-
date resignation, the latter being pre-
ferable to save the army from the dis
grace of public exposure of the crime.
Lieutenant Webb rendered his resigna-
ton but General Ruger was inclined to
postpone action on the resignation. A
dispatch from Colonel Dudley informing
him that the disgraced officer had COM
mitted second offence, and been caught
in hagrante delicto, and had also been
guilty Of aiding couple of priyates
implicated in his crime to desert, set
tied the matter in General Ringers mind,
and Webb's resignation was approved
by him and finally accepted by President
Cleveland, who was acquainted with the
facts in the case. Lieutenant Webb is
now en- route from st. Paul to Baltimore,
of which city he is a native"

Titusville, Penn, July IA terrific thur-

stream the run turned into a furious torrent
in q few minutes, coursng through the streets,
filing cellars and rising in some cases to the hrst
stories of houses. Families along the line OF the
Good became frantic, and number of RATS were
built, on which women and children were taken TO
places of safety. The damage TO residences in the
