Foot ball is the popular fad at Hot
Springs, and it may be said to enjoy
a monopoly in this direction, SO far as
the Hills is concerned, as it appears to
be the only place where the giddy game
is INDUCED or appreciated. The Springs
boys next contest will be with the
Chadron team which comes off at the
latter place during holiday week.

Ed. l.. Grantham, the efficient court
stenographer for this circuit, a resident
OF this city, has imbibed the idea that
the organization of a National Type
writer's and Stenographers Association
is one Of the urgent wants of the period,
and for some time has been correspond
ing with parties in the east with this
desired end in view. The result Of the
correspondence has been very encour-
aging, and there are ample reasons for
the belief that the association will be
organized early in the coming year.
lnasmuch as Mr.. &. is a resident of our
city, the CHRONICLE unites with him and
his friends in the hope that his efforts
may be crowned with marked and
abiding success.

A number OF our residents have visit
ed the Keystone camp during the week,
all Of whom are favorably impressed
with its future prospects, and some of
whom are holding under favorable con.
sideration the matter of engaging in
business at that promising point. Chas.
Garfield has leased ground upon which
he, this week, commenced the erection
Of a building to be used by his sou as a
barber shop, and We also learn that L.
II. Flynn will soon commence tn. rec
ton of a building there in which he
will engage in business. Lots in the
town are commanding good prices, and
numerous sales are reported. If the
pay streaks hold out, and many believe
they will, then Lead City had better
look out for her laurels, for in that
event, in the propitlous and felicitous
hence, she may awaken to the mournful
fact that. in the matter of wealth and
population with Keystone, she is posi-
lively not in il.

Albert Whipple, president of the
Crawford (Neb.) Banking Company, and
government contractor for grain, hay
and wood at Fort Robinson, quietly
packed his grip and departed for parts
unknown a few days ago, leaving a large
number Of creditors to mourn his de-
parture. The bank was found to con
tain nothing but a safe and a stove after
he had departed, both of which were
empty. The amount Of his de:alcation
is not definitely known, but il is known
to be a large amount. The blow falls
heavily upon the farmers who furnished
the supplies for the Fort, one of whom
sustains the loss of 400 tons Of hay. Mr..
Upton, a lumberman, residing a few
miles north Of this city, loses about $500
by the crooked conduct of this now
fugitive bank president.

penalty of his crime on the 18th inst. in

informs q reporter of the Times that he
will not appeal the case. and as the only
hope left for the criminal Is the com.
