Cut His Throat.

John Cook a pioneer in the Black
Hills, having come here from Montana
in 1876, committed suicide by cutting
his throat at .Whitewood Monday night.
The dead man was subject TO fits Of mel
ancolly, induced by pretracted drinking,
and it was during one of these spells
that the rash act was committed. He
had been drinking for nearly a week,
and his friends desiring to sober him up
deprived him of all kinds ofintoxicants.
The suicide was committed with a COM
mon pocket knife.
Deceased was born at Brooklyn, n. Y,
coming thence to Montana where he
engaged in mining. He is we'll known
by the pioneer Montanians now residing
in the Hills. He has one brother living
in Brooklyn who has been notified OF
the sad event.-Pioneer, 3.

A TAME PREDICTION.

Judge Burns, the Deadwood Pioneers
Indian war correspondent, telegraphs
that paper from Pine Ridge, on the 1st
inst, that thousand Of the hostiles
we're very ugly, and that If the soldiers
should advance on them bloody battle
would surely ensue. He further states
that the battle would be fought In the
bad lands. near Buffalo Gap.
That a thousand of these hostiles, or
all of them for that matter, are ugly, no
one familiar with aboriginal physiog-
nomy will dispute, and that there will
be skirmish in case of the soldiers ad-
vancing upon them, is also very prob
able, but how this pending conflict
could occur in the bad lands, near Buff
falo Gap, which is many miles distant
passes the limit of our comprehension
unless through Indian incantation Buf
falo Gap should be removed to the bad
lands, as was Burnam woods to Dunsin.
ane. We do not believe that the situa
tion is particularly alarming, and We
hope that the citizens of Buffalo Gap
and especially the ladies. who are usu'
ally trife more timid than men, will
not permit this peculiarly puerile pre-.
diction to disturb their minds for an
instant, as it is not believed by any one
that there is q shade of probability OF
Buffalo Gap being chosen as the scene
Of a battle, in case one should ensue
which is by no means probable,

THE SCARE CoNrINuEs.

The Indian scare continues unabated,
having been intensified rather than
diminished by the startling, and in
many instances highly exaggerated re-
ports emanating from newspaper corre-
spondents at the front, who seem in
clined to report the situation in its most
alarming possible phase.
The fact Of the hostiles having refused
to come in to the agency, and concen-
trated their forces in the bad lands, is
strongly suggestive Of an intention on
their part to take advantage of the
situation, and resist any possible attack
which may be made upon them by the
soldiers, 1t is by no means an ag-
gressive movement on their part, and
will only result in battle in the event
of an attack being made upon them py
the troops, shich the governmens, a5sh
its characteristic clemency, has thus far,
and probably will continue to refuse to
do.
So far as the people in the Hills are
concerned. there does not appear to be
any reasonable grounds for alarm, hence
we would deem it advisable, for the
present, and until actual danger presents
itself, to dismiss fear and await further
| developments.

Weather Prophecy.

Professor Foster submits the follow
ing weather predictions: "My predic-
tions Of pleasant weather after the Nov
ember northwestern snow storm and
blizzard were fully verified, and with
the exception of two sharp storms with
accompanying cold waves, and two or
three lighter disturbances, i expect a
very pleasant December, followed by q
winter Of very much less severity than
the average. ] have been making cal
culations of next years crop weather
and find that the rainfall will reach
more elevated regions, and therefore
countries like Texas, near the sea level,
will have much less rain. while elevated
countries like the Dakotas will have an
increase of rain fall. This win DO favor
able to western Kansas and Nebraska,
northwestern Texas, southwestern Colo
RADIO and more even distribution in
the Atlantic states"
