movies mas lett us, and his chief de
siples are mourning creditors men whs
4 befriended him whenever and whereve
| it was possible. But little did he car
i for their rights or feelings, SO long al
there appeared to be greener fields fo
him in the picturesque and romanti,
| gulch in the vicinity of Deadwood. Free
man delivered afarewell address, however
which was directed to Judge Polk, be
cause that gentleman made Mr. Knowle,
pay a Judgment Of long standing IN fav
or OF a Nebraska creditor. OF course, q.
i might be expected, Knowles covers ur
the facts in the case, trying to make i
appear that the attorneys proceedings
were illegal, ETC., but as he gave mort
gage on his homestead to secure one ol
the judgments and paid that said mort
gage no later than Tuesday OF this week
shows wheather Mr.. Polk was right
The ADVERTISER will next week contain
q statement in detail over the signature
of Mr.. Polk in regard to this matter
which will be another proof that Knowles
is scoundrel.
The festive prohibitionist is getting in
his work in the Hills towns. Yesterday
all the saloons were closed by the states
attorney serving them with temporary in
functions, in Deadwood. In Sturgis
Wyttenbach has taken his goods off
the market, and Blatt is selling soft
drinks only, and we understand the other
houses are doing likewise The two
complaining witnesses in Deadwood are
r. F. Kirby and Frank Pierce, neither
of whom, the ADVERTISER is informed,
has any interest in the Hills. They APP
pear to be paid spoilers, and Pierce is
reported to be the sneaking spy that was
operating sometime since in iowa, and
shot two men in DesMoines who objected
to having this fellow interfere with their
personal liberties. The deed was little
short of murder. A man that will follow
business of that nature for livelihood
is pretty low in the scale of morality and
but little better than dog.
On Nine Mile early Wednesday morn
ing, trouble between lei. A. Mcdonald
and his son-in-law, John w. Greenly,

and Greenly is lying at the home of his
father. DIR. Sexton visited the wounded
man, and found that he was not serious
ly hurt. Both parties tell different
stories as to the cause of the trouble.
