j. w. Mcintyre, the well known ex-
county surveyor of Custer county, d
resident Of this place, who has lately
been in the employ of the Union Hill
Mining company at Galena, is reported
by the Deadwood Pioneer as being in
destitute condition in that place, having
recently, for the third time, been COM
PEELED to submit to the amputation OF
n Of his legs. He is at present quar-
tered at the syndicate hotel, and is re-
ported as being sadly in need of funds
to carry him through his illness. A
petition is being circulated in Deadwood
for his relief, and it would be a COM
mendable act on the part of Custer
friends TO unite in an effort to do some
thing in his behalf.

A Sad Case.

On Thursday morning last, Oscar
Summerill, who resides near the head
of Lame JOHNNY creek, about 20 miles
southeast of this place, was awakened
from his morning slumber by a noise at
his door, and upon opening the same
was fairly horror struck at the sight of a
man standing before him in an almost
nude condition, hatlsss, shoeless, with
his clothes in %tatters, and glaring at him
with eyes distended that indicated,
beyond question, his demented condi-
ton. His naked feet were badly LAGER
sted By running over sharp rocks. and
were partially frozen. He was indeed q
most pitiful object. His mind was har-
raised by the constant fear Of being
oyertaken and murdered by imaginary
foes, who he believed were pursuing
him. Nothing could be learned from
him that would lead to his identity, his
residence or the cause Of his deplorable
condition, and he was at once brought
to this city, and turned over to the
authorities. Upon q search Of his poe
kets, a letter was found from his father
in Mankota, Minnesota, from which it
was learnSd that his name is 3. 3,
Hamilton, that he is a resident Of Gale.
ma, and has a brother, in the saloon
business in Sturgis. His brother was
notified Of his condition by telephone,
and signified his intention of coming to
Custer as soon as possible to look after
the case.
Everything was done to relieve the
sufferings of the unfortunate man. his
feet, which were SO badly bruised, and,
to some extent frozen, received the
prompt and careful attention of a physi-
clan, and he was given a bath and a new
suit of clothes throughout. 1t Is be.
lieved that, with proper care, he will
recover in a short time as he already
shows considerable improvement, hav-
ing o~ccasial lucid moments.

Hon. Ii. S.. Mastick, Custer county's
representative in the late session Of the
state legislature, was in the city early
in the week. Mr.. Mastick returned
from Pierre on Saturday, having been
delayed for a number of days by the
now blockade. He gives an interest
ing account of his experience during
the late legislative session in which the
election of a U. S. senator figured so
prominently, and with which our
readers are already familiar. The storms
which prevailed at Pierre during the
winter, which were almost beyond
precedent, when viewed in connection
with the stormy character of the legis-
lative proceedings, present a retrospect
which is decidedly stormy in it's con-
temptation, but to Mr.. NJ, there is a
bright side to the picture. The passage
of a few laws, which. in his judgment,
are good, wholesome and m%erltorious,
in the creation Of which he was an
humble factor, ia evidently q feature
that, to him, is most pleasing, as he very
sensibly asserts that it is the quality,
and not the number of laws that govern,
and regulate the measure of benefit re.
sulting from the deliberations of legis.
lative bodies. While the rigors of
winter brought more or less discomfort
to the members, he remained at his
post of duty during the entire session,
and with the most comfortable quarters,
and the best of accommodations at the
Pacific Hotel, which he regards as being
the most homelike and best conducted
hotel in the capital city, he spent the
term very comfortably. Mr.. NJ. return
ed to his home near Fairburn on Tues
day afternoon, and will direct his atten.
ton to farming operations, from which
present indications would seem to war
rant a profitable result.
The Pacific Hotel at Pierre, is highly
spoken Of by returning members of the
legislature. Black Killers can find no
more desirable hotel to tie to than the
Pacific in the capital city.

Sudden Death.

J. Harry Flynn, a pioneer resident of
Deadwood, was found dead in the rear
Of his residence on Thursday morning
of last week, his death having suppos.
eddy been the result of q fall from an
outside stairway. At an early hour in
the morning he assembled a stairway in
the rear Of his residence for some pur-
pose, and shortly afterward was dis
covered by his wife lying PROSTATE
upon the ground at the bottom of the
stairway, face downward. Running to
assist him, she found him unconscious
and gasping for breath. Assisted by a
nsighbor. she carried him into the
house, when a physician var called, but
all efforts to restore him proved I'M
availing, and death soon followed
The deceased was born in Dublin,
Ireland, a little more than 40 years ago,
and camo to America when quite young.
He came to the Black Hills from Chey-
enne, Wyoming, in October. 1876, and

1877. He was for some years engaged
in mining pursuits, afterward connected
with business houses, and for the past
eight years has been employed by the
Deadwood Times as mining editor He
was secretary of the Society of Black
Hills Pioneers at the time of his death,
a position he creditably filled from the
date of the organization of that society.
He was also a member, in good stand.
ing, of Keogh Post No. Ga, G. A. R., for
the welfare of which he was a most
active worker.
He leaves a wife, two sons, a brother
and two sisters. with whom. a large
circle of friends unite in sympathy in
their deep bereavement. Funeral ser
vices were held on Monday at the city
hall in Deadwood, under the auspices OF
the two societies above named, the
