WHY THE MERCHANTS COMPLAIN.
A Bad Street Over Which Heavily Laden
Wagons Have to Pass.

The cobblestone pavement On 3 street
between 9Th and 18th streets is in a very bad
condition and the merchants in business
between eth and 10th streets arr complaining
because something is not done TO relieve them
of inconvenience and delay caused by the diff
fculty Of drawing heavily laden wagons 70 and
from their stores over such a disgraceful
thoroughfare. The holes and ruts in the stree.
NIL with water when snow or rain comes and
then when cold snap follows solid ice is
formed. over which horses slip ard occasion
ally fall down. Along this street the
country people dispose Of their produce
and each of them pays 10 cents
on the south side of the street, while along the
north side by the market they pay Is and Is
cents for one and two-horse teams respectively
An official. who has been about the market
FOR many years, sand to a STAR reporter this
morning that the money collected from the
country people would keep the street and side
walks In good order There are between
three and four hundred wagons along the
street Tor many hours during three or four
months in the year. and in the other months
there are wagons enough to realize a good sum
of money from The same market official sug-
gested that the Commissioners appoint couple
of men to look after the street and collect the
money. They could not only keep the street
clean and pay the men a living salary. but there
would be surplus enough to keep the street in
good repair.

The Only White Survivor Of the Custer Mas.

"In last evenings paper saw by the list Of
killed and wounded soldiers Of the seventh

Blacksmith Gustave Korn Of troop I, seventh

One Indian scout (Curley) escaped. but Koru
was the only soldier who escaped after the diff
ferent troops had been told off to accompany
Custer, Reno and Beretem, who had the pack
train.
''Korn rode, as is very often the case in the
iron mouth, and besides he was cribber or
wind sucker. At the last halt, before the direct
movement was made on the portion Of the
Sioux village designed by Gen. Custer for his
attack. Korn noticed that his saddle girth was
iioossning up, caused by the sides of the cribber
he rode relaxing, as they always do after o
couple OF hours ride. Korn, knowing the tenn
per OF the beast he bestrode. requested per-
mission Of gallant Keogh, his troop COM
mander, to dismount and regirth. It was
command passed down the column to move
forward. An old cavalry horse as a rule will
raise fearful row if being left by the troop,
ana the vicious brute poor Gus was trying to
regirtn was no exception to the rule, for he
made things lively.
But Korn succeeded in swinging into the
SADDLE and headed for the column now a long
way on and moving at q rapid trot. His horse,
taxing the bit in his teeth and his chin on his
breast, pulled out on the dead run. Korn soon
saw mat he was powerless on the back Of the
vicious brute. He hoped that the horse would
stop on overtaking the column, but he did not.

splendid style, and dashing on he ran into
kenos outfit on the other side, the horse fall
ing dead as Korn pulled up and dismounted.
You all know the story of the fight. Three
days after Korn went back over the road taken
by his horse. and on arriving at the crevice, to
use his own words, NY hair stood straight up

ready collected S4.500 damages for the main

disposed of with the statement that it was a
well-settled principle Of law that every con-
tinuance of nuisance was q fresh nuisance
and new damages could be recovered therefor
