AN ESSAY ON WILD BILL.

After a thorough investigation OF
all records pertaining thereto, says a
writer in the DeadWood, S. d.,
Pioneer Times. | am confident that
Wild Bill is dead. Otherwise | would
refrain from making these remarks.
Not that William would shoot me as
full of holes as colander, it he was
on earth but because | have always
had a special regard for my health,
and it is said that William was very
careless about the health of his
friends.
William was a most unreasonable
man. IF you differed with him po-
litically, he would not stand and
argue. with you, but simply proceed
to unlimber his light artillery and
shell your position. He did not do
this because he disliked you, but
because he felt that if he allowed
anyone to suggest that this was q
country Of free Speech he would lose
more or less of his reputation as man
whose only argument was the dull
thud of chunk of lead against a
wishbone.
He was more or less responsible for
the funerals of a large number of
Deadwood's most reputable citizens.
No one seemed DESTROYS Of criticising
his methods of promoting the grave
yard industry, and even Dr.. Flick
said that it would be a cold day when
he interfered with Williams office as
chief cook of the funeral department.
Such was the life William led.
Although he would shoot seventeen
kinds of daylight through man if
he limited that his name was his own,
he would deyide the last bacon-rind
with hungry man, or give his last
dollar to the needy. He possessed a
hair-trigger temper, but with a heart
as warm as the morning sunshine
that bathes the everlasting hills.
have always held that il the men
of today were more like Wild Bill,
there would be less long, dreary
narangues, less small talk, and less
whitening personalities hurled back

SHIFT OF WIND SAVED B.
HALIFAX LAST NIGHT

Halifax, n, S., Sept. 16.--A shift of
wind saved Halifax from destruction by
fire. Nevertheless the city suffered a
loss Of 100000 in the business part of
the water front and the progress of
the flames was only stayed by the dyna-
nniting of a dozen buildings by sailors
and soldiers. N
Between 8 and 4 yesterday afternoon
when the fire was ait its height and a
fearful southerly gale was pushing it
straight toward the heart Of the business
center, CONSERVATION reigned throughout
the entire city. Shortly after O'clock,
however the wind suddenly shifted to
the west and turned the flames along
the wharves and warehouses.
There the fire ragged in lower Water
Street Until d O'Clock last night, when
200 sailors with torpedo apparatus land
ed from HI M. s. Ariadne and Inde-
fatigable and, with the assistance of zoo
troops from the garrison checked fur
ther progress by removing with the
aid Of dynamite, dozen small build
iiigs. The fire consumed six wharfs,
two coal piers, two hotels, a dozen ware
houses and number Of retail shops.
During the fire a large tree fell, killing
Flora Ring and wounding two other
persons.

bers Of the government public land com
mission, have returned to Washington
after a trip through the western states,
undertaken to determine how the var
Eious land laws are being carried out and
to gather information for use in adjust

that the communication phrase of the

largely in North Dakota, that the tim

Eof in Washington, Oregon and other
parts of the extreme northwest more
than anywhere else and that the desert
land act was used most extensively in
parts of Montana. Conclusions reach
led by the commissioner will be formu-

MILITIA COMPANY FOR FORKS
General Miller Has Issued an Order
for the Company To Be Mustered
Out Of Service Chance for Some
Enterprising Town.

Grand Forks IN. ID. !, Sept. FAIL
.ure to provide an armory has resulted
in the loss Of Co. F to Grand Forks,
and orders have been received to mus
ter out the company. Armory has
been talked in Grand Forks for many
years, and notwithstanding the fact
that the council appropriated $I,5oo for
arrnory purposes, one half of the
amount being already collected in
taxes there seems to be no more of a
chance for an armory building than
before. II
The Dick bill, under which the state
militia is now operated, makes an ar
mory for each company necessity,and
there was nothing to do but to order
the company out.
A letter to Captain Ryan from Ad-
jntant General Miller explains the sit
