There is no apparent excitement ovtr
the coming town election, a call for
which appears elsewhere in this issue.
While it may not be expected that any
considerable degree of excitement
should be aroused by this call, the rule
being to nominate but one ticket, it is
nevertheless important that sufficient
interest should be manifested in the
matter to warrant the selection Of the
best available men for the positions to
be filled, and it is TO be hoped that the
greatest care may be exercised in this
direction. Men who are wide awake,
and who are liable to remain so, should
be chosen for the important official
positions.

deplorable, is now greatly improved,

week, and provided him with comfort
able quarters and an attendant, who
will give HIM every attention, and when
he is fully recovered will provide him
with the means to take him to his home

to him was a perfect blank, having no
recollection of anything whatever after
leaving Deadwood, until he was brought
to this place. He says he has no further

now located six miles southeast Of Cold
Springs, near the head of the middle
fork of Castle creek. He reports a
rough experience thus far in the prose-
cution Of his mission of exploration, as

himself aad party. lie came in on the
train from Newcastle, having travelled
on foot from his camp to that place
with his blankets and other supplies
