Mr.. PuQua'S Friends Dissatisfied.

The action of the Board of Su-
pervisors in removing Peter Fuqua
from the SUPPLEMENTARY of the
Poor of Clarke County has aroused
storm of protest from his friends.
We find from : record that
Mr.. Fuqua was irs< appointed on
March 1, 1887, l. +. fill the expired
term of Jesse NJ. Lupton. His
bond, in the sum of $4,000. is
dated March 8, 1887.
His next bond is dated June g.,
1891, for 81, 200.
We have talked with a large
number of people who have ID ID
here during the past seventeen
years, and we have not found one
who has made any claim as to the
bad management or unrcliability
of Mr.. Fuqua.
AS far as we can learn, the rea-
son for appointing another man in
Mr.. Fuqua's place was because he
had not qualified or given bond.
We do not know whether the
office could be declared vacant or
not, but it seems to us that Mr.. Flu
qua should have been notified that
he was expected tosexecute new
bond and re-qualify. If he had re-
fused or failed to do that, it was
then time to appoint his successor.
Weunderstand that some further
action will be taken by his friends
at the next meeting of the Board
of Supervisors, looking to the re-
consideration of the vote cast.

in the Chicago Tribune of January
10. In that interview Mr.. Hearst
outlined what he believed to be
vital issue of the next campaign
and he struck note of sympathy
in the minds and hearts of the ma
jority of the democratic leaders.
when he said: The main issue of
party of people is to attend TO
the business before the people.
In this country of sudden trust
development the one dominating
issue-made so by th~ trusts them
selves-is the trust issue"
Those two sentences struck the
majority of the democratic leaders
here as the very essence of good
sense, and when they were accom-
panied by an exhaustive outline of
the conditions that exist and the
issues that grow out of those CON
ditions, the interview, i'm its en-
tirety, made up a comprehensive
democratic platform of live issues
upon which the party could go be-
fore the people and win. That is
the way in which his interview.
which in reality is a national plat
form, struck the majority of the
leaders of the party here i'm the
national capitol, and | have talked
to the most of them personally
about it. They want man for
the nominee who stands for some
thing definite in the shape of JEFF
fersOnian and JackSonian demo
cracy and who not only is aggres-
sive but progressive. Therefore.
they now are contrasting his wide
open aggressive and progressive
democratic policy with the Fabian
end hide and seek politics of some
others who have been mentioned
for the democratic nomination and
he is daily growing i'm the estima-
ton of many who, a few months
ago, were inclined to give his can
didacy the horse hoot." The
Hearst movement is a serious fac
tor in the democratic presidential
equation and is now so recognized
here in Washington.

The recent heavy rainfall was nm
paralleled ID the history OF the Hills,
except upon the occasion Of the storm
period Of May. 1883, which caused a
Hood In the cities Of Central City and
Deadwood, washing the latter city out
of the gulch. Nearly every gulch and
stream. together with hundreds of
tributaries empty into Deadwood
gulch just above the city Of Deadwood,
draining a vast territory Of country,
and the water that comes down all
these creeks and gulches must Of ne
cessity pass through the gulch in
which the city is situated.
Heavy rains had been Of daily oc-
currence for nearly a month prior TO
the three days heavy downpour, soak
Ing the ground To its full capacity.
The deluge that set in on June 2 con-
tinued to the 9Th, and the sweeping
billows that bowled in the gulches left
behind trails OF disaster and destruc-
ton.
Sheets OF water came streaming
down the mountain side in bodies and
with the force OF mighty waterfalls,
the gulches All became mighty torrents
that mastered the situation for up
wards Of forty-eight hours. and at It's
conclusion rendered all means OF traffic
an utter impossibility, with telegraphic
communication badly disabled and a
turmoil of excitement prevalent among
the people who had been isolated from
disaster
At Puma. one mile below Lead.
where the Gold Run creek and White
wood creek join. is the trail Of sad
scene of destruction. Here White
wood creek became D wide, surgiDg
mass of water. plunging restlessly
from one side to the other. Every
leap of the angry waves resulted in
some damage. The large new iron
bridge at Puma was swept from its
pillars and wrenched and twisted into
thousands Of pieces. At Puma the
depot rested on one end in the boiling,
raging mass OF turbulent water, while
the wagon bridge and the piers of the
railway bridge had been swept away.
The main line of the Burlington at this
point was undermined for q consider
able distance. Just beyond Puma, at
the first curve, the roadbed OF the Bur
lington for 800 feet had been washed
out entirely, and the ties and the steel
rails were in the water. About quar-
ter Of mile below this point the track
and the rails, ties, trolley wires and
poles were all in tangled mass. Just
this side OF the old brick yard the
wagon bridge was swept away, and
the immense fill under construction for
spur to the proposed powder house
was also washed out.
The basement Of the Belt Light and
Power company at Puma was flooded,
causing the suspension Of business, but
no serious damage was done.
All point where the two bridges
crossed the creek on the wagon road

cut into the rock for considerable
distance to acquire new roadbed.
The damage to property in Dead
wood was considerable. The foundry
was undermined and the foundations
swept away for at least twenty feet.
Across the creek here. where the res
licences rested on the bulkheads. the
worst was to be seen, as the dirt crum-
bled into the stream, leaving the build
ings resting on narrow space. Here
families had been forced to leave in
hurry, and broken furniture lay strewn
about. The rear of the Waite block,
the foundation of the rear resting in
the creek had been washed away, and
the back portion had crumbled away,
cutting the rooms in half

rails, was the structure kept from

Mathew Bender, an employe OF the
Black Hills brewery, fell into the
creek and was drowned, while helping
to rescue the property of the brewing
plant, and his body was found some
where down the creek two days after.
The estimate placed upon the dam
age sustained by the railroads in the
northern part Of the Hills is placed at
100000, and In all probability will be
found to be underestimate.
The fat near Kirk was a raging sea

ton.

Their companions escaped through the
back door. The two bodies were re-

for the loss Of bridges and the de-
struction OF wagon roads.
