A Secret Cave Discovered.


While playing on the bluffs about two
miles above Pierre, one day last week,
some children discovered n washout in the
side of the hill, caused by heavy rains.
One of the children entered it and found
that the place had the appearance of being
a large cave. They told some men in
the neightorhood, who repaired to tho
spot and made an examination of the
place. The cave was found TO be partly
natural and partly artificial. Its dimen-
sions were about 100 feet long and twenty
feet wide. A secret entrance was found
concealed i'll a patch of bushes in u
hollow, and a somewhat obliterated path
connected it with the road. Evidence
about the place showeatha it undoubtei lv
was the secret meeting place of the great
gang of horse thieves that infested that re-
gion some twenty years ago. Col. Joe
Reel, otherwise known as "Buckskin Joe,'
a scout in that section for twenty wears,
says that twsnty-thrce years ngo he
guided several companies of yigilantes in
a chase after the gang, but that they never
could be traile | further than a point
where near this cave. II is claimed sew
eral men were killed in the early days by
the gang.

IN SOUTH DAKOTA STATE.
On Account of Plumb.


The house conference committee REFUSES
to agree to the amendment to the urgency
deficiency bill which appropriated $40, 900
for surveys for irrigating in the two Dako-
tas. The trouble with this appropriation
bill is in regard to the expenditure of the
money. Heretofore all irrigation matters
have been conducted under the direction
OF Maj. Powell, of the geological survey.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, is out with
Powell, and being q member of the
irrigation committee he would not
consent to anything unless the matter was
taken out of the hands of Powell. This
feature of the case was called to the atten-
ton of the house committee, aud they re-
fused to agree upon the amendment and N
new conference was asked. Plumb will
not recede from his position, and the
house committee, believing that the action
of the senator is an insult to Powell, will
not concede u single point. Between
tweedlc-dee and tweedle- dun the appro-
priation asked to inaugurate n system of
irrigation in the Dakotas may fail.

A STRIFE FOR COMMISSIONS.
The Coming Appointments Upon tn
City Boards.

There promises to be lively little Skin
mish among the politicians over the ap-
pointment of commissioners for the
police, fire and public works boards. In
the democratic camp especially is this SO,
for it is understood that most of the re-
publican commissioners may have re-
appointment if they desire it. On the
police commission is Commissioner Bald
win who has already served two terms.
The republicans will probably re-appoint
him if he desires to serve again. In case
he does not, there are several candidates
mentioned for the commissionership.
Among these are John Fl. Platt of the
firm of Platt & Thompson and ex-Alder
man Dickerman of the Second ward. Fire
Commissioner Farnham has been u most
efficient and painstaking official and has
served his party as faithfully as he has
| served the interests of ALL He also can
| have reappointment if he desires. On
| the board of public works is Commissioner
Todd. His term expires with the present
| year but as yet no one has been promi-
nently pushed forward as his sue
and it is generally believed he will succeed
1 himself.

Christmas time. The terms of Mr.. Reilly

| and Mr. Andrew ON the board of polics
commissioners expire in February, 1891
The three want to remain on these differ
I emit commissions. There are also othei
citizens who would like to serve the city
in the same capacity. Alderman Clerkin
l of the Sixth ward has been spoken of as q
| possible successor to Commissioner Reilly.
Mr.. Clerkin's partner, Mr.. Mcdonald, is q
fire commissioner. and this, however, il
| thought to lessen his partners chances Of
receiving 8 commissionership. Charles

lory, Wheeler company, viii, it is said

friends who would be pleased to have hin

Some of the democratic aldermen are cor

ton, returning from an antelope hunt.
Riding up within fifty yards he called
upon them to throw up their hands and
received an immediate response in the
shape of volley from a Winchester in
