She is Calamity Jane no more Inst
PLAIN simple Jane now, and Calamity
Jane only in history. In 1894 she went 10
New York and secured position in mu-
scum, believing that she could make a for
tune exhibiting herself. But the venture
proved a failure. She returned to the Black
Hills, where she belonged, and married
and now, l understand, she is living
quiet peaceable, moral life-a devoted
mother and faithful wife.
"Of course in the early DAYS lynch law
ruled in the Black Hills. A horsethief,
much less a murderer, was never allowed
trial by jury, but a reasonable proof Of
his guilt was sufficient to inspire the citi-
zens TO string him to the most convenient
tree
in 1876 there was an epidemic of horse
stealing in our country" says DR.. Hanch-
err and in the absence of all law but the
unwritten lynch law the citizens organic
ed vigilance committee. One day just
outside the town two men, known to be
horsethieves, and a 17-year-old boy were
seen riding stolen horses. The members
of the vigilance committee Immediately
asserted their authority, arrested the trio
and in the absence of a Jail secured a
room in the hotel and locked them up.
There was some talk Of lynching them,
but there was no outbreak early in the
evening and the committeeman retired
leaving but one man on guard. When
they went to bed the streets were deserted
and the town in slumber. When they
came down next morning they saw the
bodies of the two men and the boy dang
ling from the limb of a tree. The guard
had been overcome by a company Of
masked men, unknown to them, and the
work quietly performed. Afterwards It
was found that the boy had been inno-
cent The men met him on the road and
offered him a ride and he accepted. But
he was seen on a stolen horse and he paid
the death penalty.
Wonderful changes have been made in
the Black Hills territory in the past ff-
teen years. Christianity has worked
wonders there. In 1876 four whites were
murdered by the Indians and were buried
without ceremonies of any kind. In 1888.
twelve years later, the people opened the
graves, removed the bodies and treated
them to a Christian burial. Public serv-
ices of a decidedly pathetic nature were
held and I was given the privilege of Of

there seems to have been no difficulty in
determining their character, their denom-
ination and date and the issue and series
to which each belonged. Veeley took the
notes TO the LOUISVILLE custom house, and
they were forwarded to the treasury de-
partment for redemption, but the DEPART
ment refused to redeem them, and with
the approval of the secretary they were
returned to him in February, 1869. He
then sold them to one julius Welman, a
broker for $500
In March, 1869, Wellman sent them again
to the treasury department, and the mat
ter was referred to the first controller.
who decided that they should neither be
redeemed nor returned to Wellman. Well
man then made a demand upon Veeley for
the return of the purchase money, and it
is alleged that an officer was sent to In
timidate him and force settlement. Wee
ley had in the meantime disposed of the
$500, and, being dependent on his daily la
Dor, st was not easy to refund the money,
but he at length did so by instalments,
and whatever rights were acquired by the
original finding were revived in him by
the repayment.
Neeley subsequently renewed his efforts
to secure payment from the treasury de-
partment, but the request was denied and
the notes still remained in the hands Of
the treasurer
Senator Turpies bin, as amended by the
Senate committee on claims, directs the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay Veeley
the value of the five treasury notes found
by Veeley.
This bill was favorably reported by the
committee on March 81, 1897, and was pass

have not as yet completed their reports
1t is impossible to give an exact summary
of the total enrolment in the day and
night schools. 1t is found, however, by
adding the aggregate Of the attendance
of the eighty schools which have reported
and comparing it with the aggregate of
the same schools last year that there has
been a gain Of 497 pupils. When the crea-
ton of several new schools is taken into
year at this time, and their roll of ass
pupils is added to the 497 already men
toned. it brings the total up to nearly
1000 more pupils than attended the schools
of San Francisco in 1897. It lis quite pos
sible that the number will exceed the 1000
mark when the remaining schools are
finally reported TO the clerk of the School
