ONE OF MANY
REAL PIONEER TALES

When John Bedding, now Deputy
U. S. Marshal, was sheriff in the ear
ly sos, there were some tall goings
on in and about Deadwood. The
prisoners, some desperate men and
other offenders of the class that
would rather be in warm jail than
work for living in the winter time,
were always great admirers of the
sheriff's wife.
Mrs. Bedding was always kind to
the unfortunate prisoners and they
appreciated it. Their appreciation
was shown by asking to be sent over
to the sheriff's home under guard to
make flower beds, clean up the yard
or chop wood. Always the kindly
recipient of these favors would give
the county charges meal at her
home, which was great treat to
them.
On one occasion six prisoners un-
der guard of a jailor went to the
Bedding home on William street tc
do some odd jobs for the lady of the
house. The work being finished
they were treated to royal spread
