Western Banks are Warned.

Bankers in small western cities have
been warned to take especial precau.
tions to protect their money against
yeggmen. The Pinkertons, convinced
that the financial furry has driven mon
ey into hiding, at least temporarily, and
that the banks which have adopted the
check system, have large amounts OF
cash stored in their vaults, believe that
the crooks of the country will try and
reap harvest.
Warning is being sent to the banks
through the middle west to double their
precautions against the safe blowing
The Pihkertons seem to think that the
yeggmen are making for the country
tributary to Omaha and the northw est
as being prolific field under the cir
cumstances. 1t is not believed that the
yeggmen will attempt to work in cities
of any size. They will devote their time
to the cities of from one three thousand
inhabitants

hurl a bomb shell into the American

the cat is one of the greatest carriers Of
disease; that it is responsible for the
spread of tuberculosis, scarlet fever,
small pox and diphtheria, especially
among children. Until comparatively
recently, 1882, tuberculosis has been
looked upon as absolutely fatal, but
science has ably demonstrated that it is
a germ disease and durable in any elm

The CLUB" BARBER SHOP,
JOHN C, WELLS, Proprietor.

Investigation of the Black Hills for
est reserve or national forest has shown
the government that it has little to fear
from poisoning weeds. Some time ago
the edict went forth in the forest reserve
service TO examine all the forests for
plants that were injurious to stock. In
some parts of the west these forests
abound with growths that kill off the
stock in surprisingly large numbers, par
ticularly in Arizona, hut the Black Hills
forest has been found to be free from
loco or other weeds or plants that affect
cattle or horses in any Way.

RETURNS To ENGLAND.

Robert Bunce, the English gentleman
who has been in Deadwood and vicinity
for the past few weeks, left last evening
for London, taking with him options on
some of the best mining properties in
the Black Hills. He left in response to
a cablegram from the company in hch
he is interested to hasten to London and
finish the details of the deals. The ex-
pert, II. s. Denny, who examined the
properties under bond, has been in Lon
don several days and his reports on the
different propositions have been very
favorable.
Mr.. Bunce's options on gold proper
ties take in valuable locations in Two
Bit and Spruce gulches, east of Dead.

district at Rockford in Pennington
county and well known copper and
gold property near this city. All of the
properties are thoroughly developed
and may be classed among the produc-
ers.
Besides the options On the gold prop
critics above mentioned, Mr.. Bunce has
practically all the good tin mines in
both the Hill City and Bear Gulch
districts under option. He is in touch
with the people in England who buy
properties and is thoroughly posted on
tin mines having often visited the great
tin mines of Cornwall. He thoroughly
believes the Black Hills has the greatest
tin mines in the world aud he proposes
to get his capitalist friends interested
here. The tin mines owned by E. c..
Johnson in the Hill City district, which
formed part of the Harney Peak com.
pany's holdings, are in on the option
rs we'll as q number of other excellent
tin properties in Custer and Pennington
counties.
Mr.. Bunce is most favorably Impress
ed with the Black Hills. He states that
il is just the country to interest his Lon.
don friends. He has found every con-
dition here for gold mining on large
scale; the ore bodies are invariably
large and he has found in most cases,
the owners of mining claims are easy to

THE COCHRAN NINE

James Cochran of Rockford, who has
for years past been operating Hunting.
ton mill on his ground near that place,
has not been doing any milling work
this year but has put in all his time de-
veloping the property with good results.
Heretofore he has worked in small
way and has cleaned up from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year but he has not made
any great effort to open up large bodies
of ore. His work is now directed to de-
veloping the property in such a way
that it will be possible to operate on a
large scale.
He already has three important led
ges opened up; one of rs feet in width,
one of 40 feet and third of ~ feet. The
latter is of high grade and affords
amounts of specimen ore that is appar.
emily as rich as anything in that section
of the country. Mr.. Cochran's work is

proposition and one that can be operat-
ed to produce ore for mill of large ca
pacity -Pioneer-Times.

Wouldn't Take a Drink.

The New York Herald printed Tues
day in a most prominent position, and
with faring, headlines, the following
special from New Haven, Conn:
Members of Connecticut's official
party at opening of the jamestown
Exposition are telling of an epsidote
in which Gov. R. S. Woodruff, of
Connecticut, and the governors of
North and South Carolina we're figures.
The three met at Gov. Claude A.
Swanson's reception on Thursday
evening in the Virginia building. The
Carolinian governors had never met,
and Connecticut's governor, upon
learning of that fact, brought them
together. Gov. Ansel, of South Car
DINA, and Gov. Glenn, of North Car
DINA, clasped hands warmly, and
while they were expressing mutual
qualification over the meeting Gov.
Woodruff stood expectantly. He re-
marked as they were about to sep
arate:
"And now, gentlemen, I presume I
shall have the pleasure of hearing a
repetition of the famous remark of
the Gov. of North Carolina to the
Gov. of South Carolina"
Gov. Ansel responded at once
"Your ~excellency, as 1 am a prohi-
bition governor and a teetotaler, l
cannot make it sincerely"
And to the amazement of Gov.
Woodruff and Gov. Ansel as well, the
other Carolinian added:
"Being a prohibitionist myself, l,
too, must suffer the remark, at least
literally, to remain a matter OF his
tory"

hearing her screaming, ran to her
assistance, ~whereupon the negro fed,
but he was captured after ahalfmile's
chase and badly beaten by the mob.
Mayor Lawrence, before whom the
negro was taken, was so enraged that

Threw Pistol Away.

Just when it occurred, n whether
it occurred at all, cannot be stated
with certainty because there has been
no opportunity for ~veri1cation; but
they are telling a story about Capt.
John Barztell, of the Southern, that
many of his friends will recognize as
characteristic.
It was on the train, of course, Capt.
Barztell is seldom seen anywhere else
He went into a second-elass coach to
punch tickets, and his eye happened
to fall on a revolver in the hands of a
negro passenger. Without amoment's
hesitation the captain laid his left
hand on the negro's shoulder, and
commanded:
Throw that thing out of the win
dow"
The negro looked as if he was I'M
able to comprehend the order, but
after q moments hesitation replied
with more or less impotence:
Huh, dis pistol cost money!"
Capt. Johns right hand went slow
" and deliberately down in his hip
pocket, and when it came back it was
with his own revolver, which he
pointed at the negro's head with the
quiet remark:
s"That's how I got this one. Throw
yours out of the window"
There was not another word of re-
monstrance. The negro stuck his
hand out of the window and let the
pistol drop to the ground. Capt.
Barztell quietly returned his own
weapon to his pocket and resumed
his work of punching tickets.-York-

Unanswerable Argument.

Both Kentucky and Tennessee are
inclining toward prohibition and
other states almost as famous for
their liquors are bending in the same
direction. It begins to look like tpro-
hibition for the entire country a few

up with the idea that while prohibi-
ton was a mighty good thing it was
not practicable. The record Green
vile has made since the county went
dry, as compared with bar-room and
