fell in the brush and while searching for
the quail tie uncovered cnunk Of
metal that from the shape and weight
attracted his attention, says the Mirror.
He carried it out of the brush and scrap
ed the dirt from it and it proved to be
a chunk of gold weighing one pound.
The metal had been melted and nodded
into ball and either lost or hidden
where it was found. Mr.. Airhart is
greatly excited over his find and will

old Spanish treasure, that was said to
have been buried somewhere in western
Oklahoma by the Spanlards years ago.

His Last Hope Realised.

krIOm tnc OcntiuSi, Ocuo, puoh@J
In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping, upon
his claim. he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea
Which it seemed almost impossible TO
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as n
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the ground
in great agony, and in few moments
the dose was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight.
That one little bottle worked complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE
full. The season for bowel disorders be-
ing at hand suggests this item. For sale
by all druggists.

The Miner and the Farmer.

1t has often been observed and many
times remarked, that all of our court
business with very few exceptions has
come from the valley country which
surround the Hills. This has been the
case ever since the organization of our
county and many have racked their
brains trying to account for the fact.
For fact it is, and the court records
will show, that of all the murders, de-.
predations, shooting, stealing and quar-
rels over the rights of property, fully
seven tenths of the cases have been
brought up from the valley. Can any
one account for this or give reasonable
reason why it should be so2 We make
the inquiry in good faith for we confess
We are at loss to understand it, Can
it be that the seemingly peaceful pur-
suit of ploughing the land, or herding
cattle, has greater attraction for people
of beligerent tendencies, or immoral
proclivities than those who are drawn
to mining as an occupation
[ The cattle men fight over the bound
ary lines of their range, over the water
holes where their cattle come to drink,
and quarrels arise oyer the similarity of
brands and from many causes, and il
would seem that in many cases they can
fight just as we'll without cause as with
one. The farmers over their line fences
oyer their chickens, over a spring OF
water and sometimes we surmise that
they fight just to see who shall be chief
of the neighborhood. To be sure they
are not so bad as they used to be, and
are far more quiet for the last few years
and the sheriff is not complaining that
he has more business than he car tend
to, and it is noticeable there is a great
improvement in the peace and dignity oi
our county. Still the statement stands
the fact remains that when we take 8

Burglars In Deadwood.

The Deadwood Pioneer-Times reports
many burgIaries taking place in that
thriving burg and the editor says it is
time to lock the doors. Yes, it is true
and We are very sorry to say it, but the
season of the year has arrived when the
rich and the poor so far as their means
will permit, and coming to the Hills to
enjoy the cool breeze and recline upon
the grass beneath the shady pines. tits
we'll and we welcome all those whose in-
tsntions are good, and rejoice to see
them enjoy the soothing comfort of our
brscing atmosphere. But there is no
rose without thorn and along with the
decent and respectable people to whom
We give the glad hand there comes the
tramp. the thief, the burglar, and a
swarm Of the low rif raffs FROM the slums
Of the great cities Of the east. Most Of
this class start out on foot, watching
their chance to steal a ride on passing
freight cars, and fast or slow they get
here just the same. We remember the
time when the people through the Hills
never locked their doors, or il few did
so they were the exception to the rule.
The miners cabin, go where you might
was always found with the latch string
hanging out side, and as it often occurred
that the owner was away from home it
made no difference, we moved in and
made ourselves comfortable. We do
not mean to say that we enjoyed mel
inium and that the inhabitants Of the
Hills were all saints, far from it. There
were many hard characters and desper-
ADDE'S who often congregated in the
larger towns and mining camps, but
these were fighting men, they were not
thieves. But even these were to large
degree weeded out as soon as county
organizations were complete, courts es
tablished, and officers appointed TO keep
order in the towns. In those days we
believed in the doctrine Of the "open
door" and practiced it. and it was mat.
ter of astonishment to strangers from
the east when We told them that we
never locked our doors.
