Henry NJ. Lpely.

We are pleased to give our readers a
short sketch OF the lie OF one Of the old
timers OF the Black Hills and candidate
on the independent ticket for county
auditor. Mr.. Leedy was born in 1886
near Bellville, Richland county, Ohio.
Raised on a farm, received IA common
district school education, after which
took a two Years course in high school
in Bellville, Ohio. Went to southern
Illinois where he taught school six
months when hereturned to Ohio. Upon
the breaking out OF the war he enlisted
in the Fifteenth OHIO Volunteer infantry
August 81, 1861. Served four years
and four months in the army OF the
Cumberland. Mustered out OF the SER
vice at San Antonio. Texas, November
4, and discharged at Columbus, Ohio,
December 27, 1865. Went to Indian
apolis and engaged in the manufac-
ture and sale Of slaves and heading,
then to St. Louis, Mo-, in the same
business. October, '66 moved to
Warsaw, Indiana and engaged in mer-
chantile business until 1869. On ac-
count Of poor health removed to Iowa,
and there engaged in farming. In 1878 he
came to Dakota locating at Brule City
on the the Missouri river at the mouth
OF White river. December, 1876 started
for the Black Hills and reaching the
foothills January 23, '76, engaged in
prospecting, mining and numbering. '7s

bunch OF cattle and settled on the
ranch and has since been engaged in
farming and stockraising.
Mr.. Leedy has never held or asked an
office at the hands OF the people and he
is at present put forward by his friends,
who believe him to be a clean, strong
man and one in every way qualified for
the difficult position OF county auditor.

John Ingersol,

{ To attempta sketch Of the life OF SO
old u resident, orone SO generally and
fayorably known as Uncle John Ingersol
seems presumptuous, and yet as he now,
like 80 many other candidates, appears
before the people for the first time as a
candidate iora position Of trust, it is
mete that they should know something
Of his past. ,l3sssSs::ss
John Ingersol was born. .onsa III 81 in
the state Of Ohio in the year 1927 and
early learned the carpenter and wagon
makers trade. He removed to north.
west Missouri in 1850 where he followed
the above business for fourteen years.
In the winter OF 1876 and ~ he came
to Dakota for the purpose Of freighting.
In company with 30 many OF our pres
ent settlers he followed that business un-
til 1880, when he located his present
valuable ranch in Box Elder valley,
seven and half miles northeast ol
Rapid City. Here he has since followed
the rough and hardy life OF Dakota
farmer.
Uncle John is known far and wide as
an honest man, he has a good common
school education, and better than all
good business judgment. He will surely
be elected to the responsible position o.
treasurer OF Pennington county, fol
which place he was placed upon the indie
nendanf tickat

BASEBALL NOTES.

The new players secured by the Fort
Worths will prove q power OF strength to
the team.
EDO you think Swift will be able to
hold his own?' was asked Manager Fo-
garty last night. Didn It he more than
hold his own yesterday?" was the en-
phatio reply.
Wehrle's work was the more remarka-
bic yesterday when It is considered he
had had no practice since coming to Fort
Worth. There is a man who will go in
and pitch good ball every day for a week.
The game to-day will be called at $3.50
o'clock, IN order to allow visitors from
Dallas a chance to get back on the 6 $40
train.
Manager Holland Of the Dallas team is
one of the cleverest fellows in the pro-
fession in Texas.
The umpires of the Texas league this
year are far better than any known here
in former years. Good umpiring makes
good baseball.
In order to avoid q crush at the gates
tickets for to-day's game will be on sale
during the day at Hirshfeld s. Williams
cigar store.
Tobias saved yesterdays game for
Fort Worth. Manager FogartY is going
to work him in the box as soon as the
team is all in good shape and is playing
good ball.
Mike O'ConnOr will play in to-dsy's
game, was the report late last night.

LONDON, April l9.-Mr. SANKEY'S
book is completed and I have had the
mivilege of CHANGING at the proofs. The
work abounds in graphic illustrations OF
the character of the inhabitants of the
dark continent, and contains many very
curious details concerning the forest
dwarf, TO whom his letters has referred
aud about whom the interest of the civ
ilized world has been keenly aroused.
In his description of the dwarfs
nr. Stanley states that they
possess many good qualities, wnIcn are
wholly unsupported by all except those
who have come into immediate relations
with them, and who have cultivated
their friendship The race is markedly
intelligent, and possesses decidedly a
higher grade Of morality than the ne
SToes. IL is the only homogeneous race

regard for the sacTeduess of the marital
relation. The dwarfs are the oldest
aIsjocTacy IN the world, tracing their
lineage back for fifty centuries. They
are alike IN complexion and their queen

The dwarfs are skilled workers in iron

region. Stanley applies his facts TO
theories relating to the ultimate rise of
Tue negroes in the scale of civilization,
ana places them more on an equality with
Tue whites than most explorers are willing

oetIer knowledge of them consequent
upon his Christian sympathy with their
natures, and his invariable efforts to Gull
u'ate their good will and respectful in
timacv.

Court in Session.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
SEYMOUR, TEX, April 17.-It has been rain
ing two days, and the Brazos river is now like
the city of Seymour and Baylor county-it is on
boom. Farmers are happy and crops were
never more promising in any country than they
are here at this time, as the rains have been
regular all the year and the farmers have had no
trouble in getting good stands of everything
planted. The wheat is just beginning to run up
and in a few days will be in full bloom, which
makes the crop certainty. Everybody is happy
and the town of Seymour is improving rapidly.
There are not less than thirty new store houses
under course of construction, besides many resi-
dences thatw will be built as soon as the railroad
gets so we can ship lumber. Residences are
badly needed, as everything is full, even the
courthouse having one family living in it.
The district court convened here last Monday
witRthe Hon. Judge j. V. Cockrell presiding,
and Mr.. Hugh Cunningham representing the
pleas of the state. After his honor;s charge to
the grand jury the machinery of the court was
put to grinding, and quite good lot OF business
has been transacted. The docket is light, but
there are some interesting cases that will be
tried this Court
