Sure Cure for Snake Bite.

While it is a well known fact that
there are nc rattle snakes, or other
poisonous reptiles within a radius of ten
miles around Custer, their presence in
the foot hills is n well authenticated
fact, and in the event of our citizens
wandering beyond the limits of safety
during the snake season, and as a conse-
quence. be bitten by a RATHER, the fol-
lowing sure cure for the bite, the
efficacy of which is vouched for by the
Belle Fourche Bee, may be the means
of evading much inconvenience, if not
the saving of life. The remedy, which
is said to have been secured from a
noted rattle snake charmer, is as follows:
"When bitten, kill the snake and take
out the gall, which will be found about
two,thirds of the way back, and will be
known by its greenish color; take a
small bladed knife or other pointed in
strument and carefully open the wound
where the fangs entered, and aturate
thoroughly with the gall till all pain
ceases. 1t will not swell nor cause sore
ness, and will eradicate the poison"

Found the Body.

The mysterious disappearance of
David Laird, the we'll known old time
~prospector of Carbonate camp, has at
last been solved in the finding of his
body last evening by d. G. Sawyer, Ct
Nevada gulch, says the Deadwood
Times Of last Sunday. Mr.. Sawyer, who
teaches the district school at Carbonate,
was going home last evening to spend
Sunday. A short distance above the
Half Way house on False Bottom creek,
and near what is known as the Iron
City hosting works, Mr.. Sawyer Oh.
served the head, one hand and two
knees of q human being protruding
from the snow beside the road. 1t was
dusk and he was unable to recognize
the victim, but concluded it was Laird
and proceeded on his journey, stopping
at Tom Goodman's house at Portland
and informing the people Of his discov-
cry. Word was sent Immediately to
Coroner Whitehead at Lead, who will
visit the scene early this morning and
take charge of the body, and a party of
friends of the deceased will 60 down
from Portland to assist in digging the
body from the snow drift and moving it.
Those who so out from Deadwood
should 60 via the Carbonate road
through Central to the Half Way house
and up the creek from there, as the road
is not open down from Dead Dog hill
Friends have searched as much as the
weather would permit for some time,
but almost entirely on the road west
from the Half Way house, where he
was last seen. In places the snow is
still very deep, where he lay, in a ravine
it being several feet deep.

structure which cost $4,000 to build.
was seriously damaged by fire IN Sun
day last. The fire, the origin of which
is unknown, started on the third floor
in the northeast portion ofths building,
over the sheriff's Office, and while the
most vigorous and persistent efforts
were made by the fire department to
arrest its course, it was not until the
building had sustained a damage of at
least $4,000, that the flames ware cx-
tinguished. Everything in the sheriff's
Office was destroyed, as we'll as a mum.
Dor of papers in the court room pertain
ing to cases upon the docket for trial at
the pending term of court. but all of the
county records were saved, being safely
deposited in the vaults. The building

Isaac Downing, the popular Keystone
miner, was the city on Thursday on his
return from 4 visit at Hot Springs. He
reports an encouraging outlook for the
future success of the mining enterprises
already inaugurated in the Keystone
camp, which he believes will be largely
augmented during the current year.
He expresses an abiding faith in the
brilliant future of the camp, which is
doubtless fully justified by his thorough
knowledge of the situation. The CHRoN-
Gle is indebted to him for q very
pleasant call, and for the further favor
of his order for the placing Of his name
upon our subscription book.
