Placer Mining In Dakota,

The Bank of Hermosa has purchased
over $500 worth of placer gold in the
last sixty days. Placer miners in the
Hills west of Hermosa are preparing
to largely increase operations in the
spring and it is calculated that not
less than 400 men viii be employed as
soon as sufficient water for extensive
work begins to flow in the streams.
The recent heavy snowfall in the Hills
makes it certain that placer mines
that have been shut down for several
years for lack of water can be again
operated.

Few Cattle Were Lost.

REPORTS received from the stock
ranges west of the Missouri River say
that there was but slight loss OF cattle
during the recent storm. Cattle that
were in good condition stood the storm
well, but some OF the poorer animals
could not withstand it. The fact that
the temperature stood about 20 de-
grees above zero during the storm
prevented greater losses to stOckmen.

SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

SAVANNAH, Ca, special: Bishop
Becker, of the Catholic Church in
Georgia, has thrown a bombshell
among hundreds of Catholics who are
members of the X. OF F., Odd Fellows,
and similar organizations. by refusing
to grant absolution to them and issu-
ing instructions to all priests to send
such members of the church applying
for absolution to him. On Easter Sun
day. under his instructions, communion
was refused to all Catholics known to
belong to such organizations. Here
tofore no serious objections had peen
raised to Catholics uniting with such
secret societies, and If the Bishop per-
sists in his present attitude hundreds
will have to choose between the church
and such societies.

THE TYE-UP GENERAL.

A1ASA0ASs
The following dispatches were re-
ceived in Eureka on the 4th inst. and
published by the Sentinel in the form
of an extra:
Sacramento, CAL, July 3.-Sacra-
mento was the scene of violent DEM
onstration on the part of the railroad
strikers this afternoon. The Southern
Pacific attempted to break the block
ade here and send west bound over
land train to San Francisco. Prepa-
rations had been made for this at
tempt for day or two past, but the
effort resulted in complete failure.
AS soon as the start was made the
mob of three thousand strikers who
had been removed from the immedi-
ate vicinity of the train previously,
swept down upon the train and drag
ged United States Marshal Baldwin
from the cab of the engine. The
strikers Knocked him down, and the
deputies and police who tried to inter-
fere were powerless. Many in the
mob shouten "Kill him!" (the Mar
shay, but the latter drew two revolv-
ers, and several deputies who had
forced their way through the crowd
did the same. The strikers were
compelled to fall back and the Mar
shall finally escaped to the railroad
office. The attempt to move the
train, however, had to be abandoned
for the time being. The strikers cut
the train in two and then they COM
menced to side track the cars and dis
able the engines in the yard. Mar
shall Baldwin, realizing his utter help
lessness to cope with the rioters sent a
dispatch to Governor Markham at
Pasadena, explaining the situation
and recommending that the National
Guard be called upon for duty at Sac
ramento at once.
Reno, New, July 4.-The tie up
caused by the boycott of the Pullman
Car Company is general. For the first
time in the history of Chicago no cat
tie arrived at the stockyards.
Troops have been ordered out to
protect the trains on roads in the
hands of receivers appointed by Fed
eral Courts.
The train which left San Francisco
with Federal troops for Los Angeles
was stalled at Bakers field, north of
Mohave Desert.
The National Guards of California
were ordered out. AS yet there is no
conflict between the troops and the
strikers.
Marshal Baldwin swore in one
thousand business men in Sacramento
as deputies, many of whom sympa.
thize with the strikers.
The railroad officials expect, with
the assistance of the military, to move
trains at Sacramento to-day The
strikers are firm and determined.
No attempt has been made to move
trains at Oakland.
At Cabinet meeting it was decid-
ed to have the troops prevent any in
reference with the mails and inter-
state commerce. The troops will be
under the direct command of Presi-
dent Cleveland and will not receive
orders from civil or judicial officers.
