Lead, S. d., May 2l.-There is n
great clamor among the people OF
this city and of Deadwood for a re,
form in the city government. Both
cities have new mayors, who were
elected on n promise of in%stituting re.
forms. In this city the saloons are
kept n little more closely within the
law, perhaps, than in Deadwood, but
il is considered that there is room for
improvement. In Deadwood the sa.
looms are run day and night and Sun
days and all kinds of games are al.
lowed. An effort will be made by the
better class of people of both cities to
have the mayors and councils act
unitedly. One new brick building has
been completed in the burned district
in this city on the site of a former
house of i'll fame. The building has
been leased for n Finnish" boarding
house. Another building is going M
rapidly by the side of the first one
and il is also TO he leased for the pur'
rose. The inhabitants of the houses
are the same old clique which LIVED
there before the fire. The people OF
Lead are indignant over the matter
