A petition received froto tb Pioneer camp has seen since 77. People flock-1 ed h. re from Deadwood, Central and Lead cities. The hoarding houses were full to overflowing, and at night every i available place on the floor, in a chair on a bench was oooup ed as a sleeping place. There are several good substantial business houses here, among which are J.

C. Hadley, grocery and provision dealer; Mr. Hadley is also the post master. Finnigau MuQuillin, gro ceries and provisions, with a sample room in the rear, Jacob Keffeler is situated in the center of the town with a fine assortment of groceries. Mr.

Lamberson, one of the oldest butchers in the Hills, has a shop here. Jan-ilrico. Charles opened a meat market here last week and are meeting with good success. W. L.

Gardner has a large assortment uf drugs and liquors. Mr. Gardner is also putting up a large building to be used as a drug store, as on the 1st of January he will quit the liquor business. There are but two hotels here at present, the American house, J. F.

Ingalls, proprietor, and Hadley Pratt's, but two more will be started this week. J. Biennan Co. are running a large club and reading room. P.

H. Tooly, of Lead, has just moved over with a large stock of hardware, stationery, pipes, tobaccos, etc. Wm. Fredericks, is running the only livery and feed stable in town. The Florence mill, after being idle for over a year, dropped her stamps on Sitting Bull ore this morning.

Work on the new smelter is progress ing linely. Yesterday the ore nens went being put in, and the machinery is expected daily. There is a large force of men at work at the Sitting Bull, making great prep arations and getting things in readiness to start the smeller as soon as completed. They also have a force of men at work separating the milling from the smelting ore. The Silver King mine, Nathaniel Primrose superintendent, has a shaft down fifty feet, and is now running a tunnel through good paying ore.

They are working two shifts. The Escondidio mine, Victor Dome superintendent, has a tunnel in nearly six hundred feet. As nobody is allowed in the mine, we oau only judge of its richness by the ore on the dump, some of which was assayed out of curiosity by several individuals, and was found tu go $192.50 to the ton. Two shifts are being worked on this mine, The only two things needed here is a blacksmith shop and a bank. Either or both could make money.

A. A. McKay and family moved over from Lead City yesterday, and will remain here permanently. Miss Ada Grey, formerly of Golden Gate, teacher, will close school three weeks from yesterday. A large amount of work is being done on the Red Cloud, Alex Mo lonald, superintendent, in the way of timbering and cross cutting, and some very-rich rock has been struck.

Work in this mine is being pushed steadily. Twenty seven men are employed on the Sitting Bull ditch and it is being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible. There is supposed to be between two hundred and fifty and three hundred laboring men employed here besides more going to work every day. The excitement has been the cause of bringing parties owning claims in the vicinity to come in and work on them. A number of families have also moved here.

Richards Woods who have a contract to supply the smelter with 20,000 bushels of charcoal at 12 cents a bushel, have their about one and one half miles below the smelter on the Sturgis road; have one pit of 4,000 bushels capacity completed end four others of 2,000 bushels neatly so. George Humbert, whe has a saw mill three and one half miles from Galena, has taken a contract for furnishing a lot of lumber to be used on smelter. Everything is lovely and the is WoominK. Wintry Weather Smaeh Up. Special to the Pioneer Plum Creek, Nov.

Loughborough with ten teams, broke camp at this place earlv this morning on his way to Meade, returning f.om Pierre, where he has been transporting the property belonging to company 7th cavalry. He I one mule by going through the ice while crossing the river at Pierre. The lieutenant will examine the United States military telegraph lihe from this point to Meade, and if necessary put it in repairs.

Weather cloudy; high winds. Snow fast disappearing, but there are prospects fur more. Freighters find it hard to move on account of the ice on the hills. To-day Joe I imons badly piled up four heavy loaded wagons on top of each other coming down Lam creek hill, badly damaging wagons and freight. He was loaded for Evans.

Pleaeant Party, The social hop given by Mr. Volin, proprietor of the Farmer's house, Eliza-bethlown, last Saturday evening, was one of the mo-t enjoyable events of the opening social season. About sixty couples were present and, owing to the genial host's endeavors, everything pass ed off in the most pleasant and harmonious manner. The banquet at mid night was one of the most elegant ever served in the city. The whole sfl'iir was one that reflects the greatest credit upon mine host Volin, and one that will long be remembered by the partic ipants with feelings of real pleasure.

22. Chris Davis, mulatto, who was in jail for an outrageous assault on an elderly woman, Airs, Locke, living at Albany, Ohin.was banged by a mob last night. The sheriff was overpowered and beld while the mob broke into the cell and took Davis out. This morning his body was found hanoitiff a bridee over Hack lag river, at the south edge of the town, The mob was recognised and will be ar- rusted, ii Inlng Notes A few weeks, ago the owner of the Gulden Reef mine, which is located at the south end uf the Old Ahe mine, started in to do their assessment work. Instead of working in the old shaft, they commenced sinking a shaft about one hundred feet east.

They sunk about twenty-rive feet, when they struck the top of a ledge that so closely resembles the Golden Star rock that it is impossible to distinguish it from that ore; and better still, it prospects splen ditlly. A cross-cut has been run and au ore body fifteen feet in width has already been exposed. The indications are that the owners of the Golden Reef have struck upon a chimney 1 that will lead down to the extension of the Old Abe lead. A very important discovery of free gold ore has been made in the La Salle mine, at Green Mountain, which has hitherto been wholly unknown, al though the mine has been worked for the past three years. The rock dan be proven by a pan test, and shows a very valuable ledge.

This mine is located near the Portland, and is no doubt des tined to become a very valuable prop erty. Steam is kept up at the Portland mill all the time. A car load or acid wns received yesterday, and the indications point to a speedy resumption of work. Board of Education. The board of education met at the office of Judge Carey Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Reuben moved that a tax of ten nulls on a dollar be levied for school purposes. Carried. Mr. Dudley moved that the superin tendent be added to the committee of examination.

Carried. On motion the board adjourned. Fined Fifty. The oase of Ah Ohu, arrested for keeping au opium den, was tried before Justice Hall Saturday afternoon. During the trial it leaked out that a couple of girls, comparatively children, have been in the habit of frequenting this den, and not only that but tried to induce the daughters of certain families in Elizabethtown to go with them to these dens.

The parents finding this out made the complaint and haa the Chinaman arrested, and if that iB not necessary they will resort to means so severe that the Chinamen who sell opi um, or keep these dens, will well they wont be there hut their friends will wish they had not done so. Ah Ohu entered a plea of not guilty but after an examination he was fined $50 and costs, and in default of payment was committed to jail. Rapid Court. Specie! to the Pioneer. Rapid City, Nov.

21, 1 9:30 p. in. The court is still in session, but not half the interest is manifested in the cases now pending as in the Lawrence county cases. Court will probably continue during the week. Three large outfits are fitting up to start on the Chamberlain road to-morrow to haul freight from the end of the Chicago, Milwaukee St.

Paul railroad to the Hills for F. T. Evans. They will take the lumber, timber, tools, to do the grading necessary to make the route a first-class freighting road. Weather clear and pleasant.

Moody, associate justice of the supreme court ol Dakota territory, and judge of the First district, it is found upon the evidence, that thev are with out support. They are therefore die mised. Very respectfully, S.

Phillips. Acting Attorney-General It would seem from the above that no examination other than of papers accompanying the charges was made by the department. Married. Owm Ci.ark At the Avenue house, ueadweod, Sunday, 20, by Kev, Mr. Pelton, Samuel R.

Gwin, of Idaho, to Miss Minnie Clark, of Chicago. Both parties are old icsidentn of Deadwood, and are well and favorably known. Only a few intimate friends were present. The bride was elegantly altired in a brocade silk dress, old gold in color, trimmed with heavy purple plush and Valenciennes lace. The presents were elegant and costly.

The couple took their departure yesterday morning for their future home, Salt Lake City, with the beat wishes of their numerous friends for niauy years of prosperity ana nappinses. same up aim ureu iwusnu-s, rode rapidly away in me uirectiou ui the navy yard. It is not believed that Guiteau was hit at all, A voung man who witnessed tbe shols fired into the van as it passed through the capitol grounds en route from the city hall to tbe jail, says that the person who did the shootwd was a middle aged man, well dressed and mounted upon a remarkably fine white horse. Immediately after the shots were fired the horse was started ou a dead run, and although the guard stood on the rear steps of the van trying to cover the man who the shooting, he made his escape without diffi culty. As he passed by the young mn entioued, he remarked: I nave sno( the Guiteau.

Telenhonio communication lint re ceived from the Washington asylum, situated near the distriot jail, states that UDITEAU WAS STRUCK bv a shot tired into the van, but only slightly wounded. he driver Ilia van gives tne Al lowing particulars: Upon the adjourn ment ot the court tne van siarieu as usual for the jail, having one policeman as a guard who sat ou tne seiu who oil- driver. Before reselling the capitol the guard nuticed a young man on horsehack riding leisurely uenmn tne van. Near the corner of East Capital and First streets, tho horseman roue directly up lo the rear of the van and hastily peeked through the small grai-iniz. Guiteau was alone in the van and seated on the right hand side, the seats running lengthwise of the van.

After having evidently satisfied himself as to the location of the prisoner, the horseman wheeled suddenly tu the left of the vau and fired directly through it. He then DASHED TO THE FRONT of the van and pointed his pistol at the driver with the evident intention of intimidating him or stopping the van. The driver was somewhat excited and, in response to the inquiry of a reporter said: "Perhaps he intended to stop the van by shooting one of the horses." Seeing an armed policeman by the side of the driver, be exclaimed: "I've shot the and pulling spurs lo bis horse, dashed down East Capitol street, in the direction of the Congressional cemetery. The policeman fired one shot at the fast disappearing horseman, and the driver of the van whipped his horses into a gallop, and kept in sight of him for several blocks. Tbe would-be avenger is, lu.wever, mounted on a blooded horse and rapidly escaped out into the coun try, tie was described as a smooth faced man about 25 years of age, and dashing.

He had ou a dark brown suit. The van then proceeded to jail and Guiteau was taken nut in A STATE OF 0 it EAT EXCITEMENT. He exclaimed: "I have been shot; notify Major Brock at once. Tell him to arrest the scoundrel at once, and have him dealt with as he deserves." On examination il was found the ball had just grazed Guiteau's left wrist, in Hiding a mere scratch. The hall struck the opposite side of the van and fell upon the floor, where it was found ou reaching the jail.

The announcement of the attempt upon the life ol Guiteau, created intense excitement on the streets, and all sorts of rumors were 1 at once in circulation. The would-be i kmc. na Mm onuui mr- vuu.i ii'Mioi- this afternoon and attempted to gain admission during the day, but tailed, fie was also seen to mount his horse soon after the van left and ride leisurely alter it. It was rumored he hailed from Illinois, but there seems to be no foundation for the report, It was whispered in the crowd outside the court house, just previous to adjourn ment, that to-day would he the last day of the trial. A remark was also heard in the crowd that if anyone wanted lo seeliuiteau, they had better do so day.

This would lead to the belief thai more than one person was aware the attempt would be made. ANOTHER ACCOlNT says the van was midwav between the capitol and jail when a white man heavily built and mounted on a white horse tired into it, giving Uuiteau onlv a flesh wound. A mounted policeman pursued the assailant lor a short space, but was attain to leave toe vau and he was well mountad, he readily out footed the cumbersome van which fo. lowed for a while at a rattling pace and then gave up the puisuit. Uiireau TERRIBLY FRIGHTENED and demanded a double guard for Moil day.

Only one policeman and a jail guard were with the van. The assail am has made good his escape and there is no chance ol his capture, as public opinion is considerably in his favor many express a regret that the shot was not fatal. Guiteau says the failure to kill him is another evidence that the Lord is taking care of him, and won't let any harm come to him. He is still terribly frightened. FEARFUL Of ESCAPE.

1 he crowd about the court room grows larger daily. Tne very fact that the trial is proceeding arouses fears with some peeple that he may escape and there are a number of people who think Guiteau ought to die whether hi is insane or sane. Whether the force of this belief is strung enough to lead to violent measures, remains to be seen To day, two men were seen with pis tols, in me crowd which waited outsidi to see the prison Inken from tin house to the van in which he is con veyed to jail. Not only were thev armed, but they made threats against tne prisoner, these men were only-part of the DAILY UROWINO CROWD, and this, crowd always bails the prisoner when he makes his appearance, with snouts, yells and insults, liiiiteau inoroiigoiy irigiueneii, ana always nouuus nun me wagon as though he orsueu, nu is very carefully iiuarueu, some su er eight policemen following tu ait very closely, both when he goes into court and when lie leaves the building. There is no doubt that his guards feel apprehensive, leal some day the crowd will take tiuiteau from them and PUT II1M TO HEATH, and the cause of this fear cerlaiulv grows as the evidence of insanity ap pears to grow al ranger.

Judge Hayden, uf Missouri, a magistrate of long exper-ence, said to-day he had watched both the prisoner and iury very uloselv. Ac to the former he says he appeared to him not insane in the professional sense of that word, hut "ernnky," of unsound niiud, and he judges not from outbursts in the court room which may easily be the effects of a simpleton, but by his whole conduct and by nisappear-Hnce especially when he is quiet. The jury he thinks, and in this he agrees with all who have seen it, is composed of good men; it is a remarkably good looking jury and a conscientious one if we may indue from aunearanees. anH will do all in its nower to reach a sound decision, but, after all, the judge said, "the matter is almost entirely in Juries' Coi's hands and. much nerhans danends upon the character of his charge.

i No True. Yankton Press: A brother of Boone May, who is sentenced to be hanged at Deadwood on the 18th is in Yankton examining the recoids of the supreme court with a view of securing a lie trial or pardon for his relative. He relies upon the insanity dodge to accomplish his object. The above, although doubtless unintentional, is a great injustice to one of the best knowu, and most law-abiding men in the west. Boone May and his are in Colorado following the peaceful occupation of grangers.

He hat never, we believe, been guilty of any unlawfu I act. The article doubtless refers to James Lcighton. PERSONAL POINTS. R. H.
