of which the Journal has serious doubts,

be a rather serious one. Our informant
says the cowboys fired several volleys

horsemen disappeared in the darkness.
This il probably the true account of the
affair.-Rapid Journal.

Struck Pure Water.

An exchange says: A subject that has
bothered both the b & NJ. and the citi
zens Of Edgemont more than anything
else was the question of obtaining good
water. Heretofore all the water used
there is said TO have been tainted with
either alkali or oil, making it unfit for
use by the company or for domestic pur-
poses. After boring and experimenting
for more than year the b. & NJ. has at
last solved the problem by striking a
vein Of pure water at depth Of $40 feet.
This will be worth thousands of dollars
to the company and save the citizens as
much more. If this last attempt had
failed, the company had planned to put

A Wot Spring Predicted.

Observer Lazenby Of the signal
station in remarking upon the fact that
the prevailing weather is most remark
able tine other day, said that he anticipat-
ed a very wet spring in 1891. This
remark caused Press & Dakotan report
er to interrogate oberver Lazenby
further in this regard and to ask upon
what authority he made the prediction.
Mr., Lazenby walked over to row of
shelves in his Office, took down a volume
which was somewhat antique and open
ing it before the reporter, said. "You
will observe that this is record Of the
precipitation noted ut this station each
year since 1873. And you will notice
that every third or fourth year, has been
an unusually We. one, or that the rainy
seasons move in cycles. For instance
1873 was wet year, or in other words,
an unusual amount of rain and snow fell
during it. Then came three dry years,
or seasons when less than the normal

a cycle. From 1877 to 1880 was another
cycle, to "a another to 'SS another and
then 1889 and 1890 were dry years
Thus 1890 completes another cycle, and
by this course of reasoning it may be ex-
pected to he wet year. This is not
prophecy or representation. Here are
the records. You may Judge for your
self. Greedy argues this and his opinions
are substantiated to wonderful degree
by the records. The normal or average
precipitation per year, since 1868, a:

country has been 27 23-l0O inches.
There were 81 25-10O inches noted last
year and 10 7l-lOO in 1882"
1t is certainly to be hoped that Mr..
Lazenby reasons correctly.--Press & Da-

Upto the hour of going to press the
senatorial situation at Pierre was as
misty and unsettled as ever, with little
hope of electing a senator for some time
to come, if at all. The matter is rapidly
losing interest, and is now fairly tire
some. The people would be greatly re-
lieved ifthe contest were terminated by
an election, if possible, otherwise by an
agreement to disagree, followed by the
passage of a few wholesome laws, and
the repeal Of numerous obnoxious acts
which now appear in our statutes.

Miles Talks Indian.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Gen. Miles, speaking
to-day about the band of Indians on the
way to Washington, said the matter OF
dealing with them had been taken en-
tirely out of his hands. He declared
that the report that he had selected q
certain class of Indians to go to Wash
ington was false. Those sent by him
represented all classes. He expressed a
belief that some enemy is trying to in
jure him by circulating false rumors in
the press.
He did not believe the president dis
approved of the suspension Of Col. For
sythe. The latter officer had not been
vindicated. rs the report of the investi-
eating committee. when made public,
will show. Fifteen niians from Pine
Ridge, headed by John Grass. passed

STRUCK OIL.
About week ago operations were sus-

strong flow Of artesian water made the
work difficult and the hole became
slanting. II was desired to case ont the
artesian water before it should become
contaminated, as good use will probably
be found for it. Several days after work
was suspended. Mr.. Gould. who lives
near the well, aroused the drillers with
the announcement that oil had com
menced to flow with the artesian water.
An investigation was made and it was
found that some crude petroleum came
up, together with some Of the surface
