Ben Fowler, an old hunter, trapper
and miner is reported to nave left
Whitewood with his double OK team for
sons far away unexplored region of the
wild and windy west, where he acct
dentally discovered what he is led to
believe is the original and only genuine
lost cabin, which has for many years
been the great and absorbing object OF
the western miners search. When dis
covered by him. twelve years ago, 1t
contained a complete outfit Of miners
tools, and appearances indicated the
determination of its former occupants
by the red handed savage that infested
the region at that primary period in
western history. Old Ben might realize
a fortune by removing the curio to
Deadwood and placing it on exhibition,
where so many of the over credulous
citizens who have SO long sought it in
vain at great expense, would willingly
give up an iron dollar for the privilege
of gazing upon its rude and time worn
walls.

The Deadwood Times has the follow
ing account Uf a petrifed chicken found
in one of the cisterns in that city, which
is interesting. aud would be surprising
had the scene been laid at any other
point but Deadwood: Bob Evans, the
stone mason, was engaged yesterday
cleaning out and repairing a c~istern,
under Eben w Martins residence, on
Ingleside, which has not been used for
several years, and on the bottom of the
cistern he found a petrifed chicken.
How the fowl managed to get into the
cistern is a mystery, and what peculiar
condition Of the water, the atmosphere
or the chicken, that caused the petril
faction, we are at q loss to understand.
1t is almost perfectly formed, though
most of its feathers were gone. TIE
flesh Is white as snow and hard as a
rock. A part of the inwards have not
petrifed yet, but are in a natural state
1t is quite a curiosity and will doubtless
be valuable"

Rev. q. NJ. Boswell. The sermon, which
was impressive, able and appropriate,
was delivered from the words: This
day shall be unto you for a memorial"
during the delivery Of which the closest
attention OF the large congregation was
notably held. The drapery of patriotic
emblems and the display Of blooming
plants lent a peculiar attraction to the
scene. Gen. Steel Grand Army post
and the Custer guards in a body, were
in attendance, occupying chairs reserved
for them at the front. The musical Sc
lections were appropriate, and most
pleasing in their excellent rendition,
which feature added materially to the
