LOST RIVER INDIAN FIGHT.
CONTINUED from 9Th page. I

l.
day. We did not leave our camp,
nor removed the guard. On the
morning Of the 18th, at daybreak,
force arrived from Challis. We
rested till noon, until satisfied
that the enemy had gone After
noon we yoked and made a half
days drive. On the drive we
kept mounted scouts on both
sides of the river. We camped
safely that night, and next morn
ing, still travelling with outposts,
we dropped into Thousand
Spring valley.
| Moving up the valley, we sud
denly observed sight of an ex-
citing character. Every scout
was on the run, pell-mell, to
reach the wagons. The Indians
were running them in. We at
once corralled and made ready
for the night. One poor fellow
was SO hard pressed that he left
his horse, and crawled into a
hole, where he spent the night.
We made ready for trouble but
none came. We remained there
all next day.
On the morning of the 18th we
moved out and at night camped
at Antelope springs. That morn
ing all our escorts left US and
went to Challis. We had gone
only about five miles when we
met Jerome Colvin, riding toward
Thousand Spring valley. About
an hour later he returned, and
told us he had seen a band of In
dians, who crossed the road be-
hind US. We put out guards the
best we could, and passed the
night peacefully. On the 18th
we pulled down to Salmon river
and went into camp on the river.
AS soon as camp was pitched
a messenger came from Challis
telling US to get into town that
night, as big Indian force was
moving down the river. We
yoked up, forded the river and
| pulled to Challis that night.
In November of the same year,
Col. Shoup and others went to
the battle ground, got McCaleb's
body and brought it to Salmon,
where it was buried with signal
honor, the whole country at
tending the funeral. Not long
thereafter, force of friendly
Shoshone police captured two
Indians, who boasted of having
assisted in the battle on Lost
river. They were placed in the
county Jail at Salmon to await
trial. The sheriff later turned
them over to the Indian agent
who wanted to transfer them to
the reservation, but learning
that a dozen or so of the citizens
were outside of the town for the
purpose of hanging the Indians,
he tried to deliver them to the
sheriff, but the latter refused to
take them. By permission of
George Wentz, the proprietor,
the agent put them in the Office
of the brick stable. At night a
crowd of unnamable citizens took
the prisoners away from the
agent, led them out to st. Charl-
es street to the southwest corner
of Jake Finister's field and shot
them.
The band which made the at
tack on Lost river was afterward
captured by General Miles. They
numbered 800 and it is said they
were led by Chief Buffalo Horn.
The battle ground is marked by
a wooden monument, and two
depressions in the earth show
where were buried, in the dead
of night, the hero and his horse.

The 25th Anniversary.

Deadwood will have a great celebra-
ton the fore part of July, in commern-
oration CT the 25th anniversary Of the
settlement of the Black Hills, says the
Mining Review. The business men fthe
city are taking great interest in the ar
ranging of a fine program, which will be
attractive to the visitors. 1t is proposed
to have large band of Indians from the
Pine Ridge agency, who will be present
in war paint and they will be an inter
esting feature Of the entertainment.
The suggestion has been made that q
building be erected in which the six
counties can display the metals and
minerals Of their respective mining dis
tricts. Plans are being made for a big
crowd. Excursions will probably be run
from Colorado, which will bring in a
desirable crowd of capitalists. Eastern
South Dakota will also furnish several
thousand people. This event can be
made very attractive and one that will
be of inestimable value in the advertis-
ing Of our country. Lead rS ,ple will
join with Deadwood in makin.the affair
great success.

Change in Revenue Law.

After July the use ofrevenue stamps,
which embody the financial support
which the people OF the United States
have been required to give the govern
ment in the prosecution of war, will no
longer be necessary. Every man who
ever has occasion to send q telegram.
sign check, or file mortgage or bond,
will on that day have q sight of relief.
The passage of the war revenue reduc-
ton bill in congress will do away with
the stamp tax on checks and drafts, on
express receipts, on bills of lading, on
kilograms and on proprietary medicines.
These are the taxes that have come
nearest home to the pocketbooks Of the
people. Every check and draft requires
2.cent stamp. The stamp on the check
has to be paid by the man who writes
the check, while the stamp on the draft
is paid for by the bank. Every tele-
gram requires l-cent stamp, w ich the
holder Of the receipt has to pay for.
Bills of lading require similar stamps,
but the railroad companies pay for them.
Druggists regard the passage OF this bill
as victory for their efforts. For over
year past the Retail Druggists Nation
al association has been working to in
duce congress to remove the stamp tax
on proprietary articles, and during this
congress they have maintained lobby
at the capital for this purpose. They are
highly Rratified at the passage ofthe bill,
because it will result in a large increase
in their profits.

$1,000 Judgment.

Pat Mccarthy. of Rapid, has again
been successful in his suit against the
Holy Terror Mining company, judg
ment has been rendered by Judge Nc
Gee in his favor for $1,000, due plaintiff
for the product Of the mine. The case
has been one Of the most interesting and
most important tried in the Black Hills
for good many years. The case was
for an accounting of the ore taken from
the Holy Terror and Keystone No.
claims, portion of the Holy Terror
mine. at Keystone. The question at
point was whether or not partner can
be located out Of a property by other
partners. Years ago Mccarthy and two
partners located what is now the Holy
Terror mine. The ground was allowed
to 20 back to the government by default
of assessment work and it was after
wards relocated by McCarthy's old part
ners, Mccarthy being left out. Rich
ore was discovered which made the
property valuable, and Mccarthy
brought suit for his interest in the prop
erty. There is still another case that
will come up for trial this month. The
future OF the Holy Terror mine rests up
on the decision of the court in this latter
case. The Holy Terror company de-
clares that it will shut down the mine
for good in case Mccarthy wins the suit.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth-
ers' never thought of using anything
else for indigestion or biliousness. Doc
tors were scarce, and they seldom heard
of appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few
doses of Green's August Flower. in Ii.
quid form, to make you satisfied there
IS nothing serious the matter with you.

such low heat remain with the iron at

are incompatible, as the sulphur would

that case would remain in a globular

is not scientific, is not reasonable and is
not true.

number of new tables have been order
ed. In order to install these it will be
necessary to enlarge the mill building
which will be done as soon as tire wealth
er permits in the spring. In the mean
time the old plant is shut down for the
winter. The work at the Spokane has
been done in shaft on vertical ledge,
that carries high percentage of lead
and good values in silver, running the
average up towards $50 a ton. The
ledge is a big one, and has been opened
up sufficiently to allow large amount
of ore to be mined readily and cheaply.
The ore is concentrated at the mine. and
is then hauled to Hermosa and shipped
to eastern smelters.
The men at the head of the Crown
Hill company are possessed Of good
business ability and the affairs of the
company are being conducted upon
business methods. The president is
A. A. Crofts of Grsenyille, ILL.,; s. f.
Young, formerly of Rapid City, but now
located in Sioux Falls. is secretary and
general manager, and T. A. Snow OF
Austin, H., is treasurer. John Reele of
of the Spokane mine is the superintend-
ent. The capitalization is 100000
shares, at par value of 81 share.
The company was exclusively South
Dakota concern, and it was
South Dakota money, that first opened
the ground to production. Within the
last few years, however, eastern men
have been taken into the concern. consid-
erable eastern capital has become inter
ested in the improvement ofthe ground.

gold rock by which we can save 100 per
cent Of the tungstic and molydic acid

show the people there how this can be
done. This will be of untold value to
