The first lot offered w knocked down to William Selbie for the pro- posed Whitewood bunlk, together with the one adjoining. As fast as possible the lots were sold, until that entire block had been deeded at prices ranging from $100 to X300, Alt gother, the sale was very succossful, the townsite company realizing over £25,000, and transferring seventy-five lots, Many Dead- wood men were among the purchasers, and some have stated their intention of erecting substantial buildings soon. The prospects for the new towan are the brightest, because of its bedutiful location, the energy of its merchants and the improvement of the ra road company, with the fact that here will be the terminus of the road for at leust cighteen months, nec sitating transfer of all traftic und mails during that period.

Prominent People Believed to Have Been Caught in Tally Sheet Frands, Lesnes, Dec. 11— [Special Telegram to the Bre.]—The action of the grand jury yesterday in the tally sheet forgery cases has created great excitement in political circles, and sundry democratic politicians are won- dering where the lightning will strike next. The Montgomerys, who were arrested, have been released on bail and an officer has gone to Cincinnati after Blackburn, It is believed that besides these three, Allen O. Myers, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Fred Horn, Algernon Granviile, Fred Stuebe, and Thomas Cogun of the democratic central committee of 1855, have ulso drawn “prizes.” Granville was the principal witness before the grand jury, and turned states evidence, He is an expert stenographer and, according to his own testimony, hielped in the forgery. According to his evidence the tally sheets were removed from the safe of the County Clerk Joyee, taken 1+ he Ohio penitentiary, wh a_portion ¢ work was accom- plished by Blacki, i afterwards com- pleted by Granville at the resicence of Mont gomery. Horn was a guard at the penitentia and nllowed the party, consisting of the two Montgomerys, Blackburn, Granville, and, it is alleged, Myers, to pnss within the walls into one of the cell rooms, where the carly part of the job was accomplished. Steubo was a night watchman at the county clerk’s oftice and allowed the gang to go inside the oftice about midnight, gencrously showing them where to find the keys b which thev could unlock the safe contal ing the tally sheets and R. R. Montgome! wasa candidate for prosecuting attorne, had an office with Hon. George 8. Converse, ex-member of congr C. R. Montgomery was a_penitentiary physician, and had the run of the institution. The presence of Blackburn in the forgery work is easily ac- counted for. A certain Cincinnati editor was much interested in the legislative couat, and the connection of both Myers and Black- burn can be directly traceable to this fact. - - THE WESTERN LE St. Joe Doesn't Know That She Is in . It. St. Josern, Mo., Dee. 11.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—Mr. Eiliott Marshull, formerly sccretary of the Western league, whose vesignation was presented at the last meeting in Kansas City, said to-day: “I have never been able to find out who it was repre- sented St. Joscph at the league. meeting in Kansas City. I got a letter from Dave Rowe, asking me to give the numes of several citizens with money at their disposal who would be likely to organize a club fn St. Joseph, and T immediately wrote to him, ¢ ing him the names of Mayor Doy Andryano and others, Since that'time 1 hav heard nothing from them. So far as I ¢ learn, none of these gentlemen were in Kun- sas City or were reprosented by proxy. The fact is. it will be impossible to organ- e the league without St. Joo is in it. No _preparations have thus far been made to locate a club here, the only step which has been taken being that the city can have a club if she wants one.” Sheriff Andryano said the other day that he had received a letter from Dave Rowe asking him to be prosent at the league meef ing, but that he was too busy to pay any at- tention to the letter. The action of the arbi- tration committec in recognizing the Western association, it is believed, will either cause the Western league project to be abandoned or else it will be necessary to act irrespective of the national agreemient und refuse to be- come a party to it. As the matter now stands it will be impossible to locate a league club in Kunsas Cit J o Have Fought. NEW Youk, Dec. 11.—[Special Telegram to the Bre.j—It is reported that.

It Grows in His Absence Until He is Frightened. Seattle Post Intelligence; A number of friends of Henry Butler have been enjoying a_good deal of fun at the old gentleman's expense of late. It seems that Mr. Butler left his room at 5 o’clock in the morning a few weeks since to cateh the up-sound steamer for Portland and in his haste forgot to turn off his gas, which was burning brightly. Some of his friends saw the light in his room the next evening and thinking that burglars might be going through Mr. Butler's drawers, went up, only to find the room locked and bolted, just as it had been left. The fact that he had forgotten to turn off the gas in his haste to cateh the stenmep,dawned upon them all at once, and they determined to let it burn until he came, back, even if he remained av for two month Ahout the time he got regdy tosail from Port- land for San Francisgo. Mr. McDougald telegraphed him, our gas is still burning.” : **Why the devildon’t you turn it out?” was the reply received from Mr. But- ler. When the news flashed over the wires that the Portland stepmer had reached Sun Francisco I'red Allen sent his ab- sent friend the following message: Dear Butler: Your gas isstill burnin justas you left it, Pentield says he charges double rateg, when consumers keep their lights.burning night and duy This message was marked *‘collect,” and the messenger who handed it to Mr. Butler vemarked: “Dollar and a quarter, please. Mr. Butler paid the bill and then opened the message, only to find that those horrid friends of his in Seattle were still carrying out that practical joke. In his despair he rushed to the tele- graph office and sent the following message: I L. Terry: Turn out my gus, The next day he received from his friend Terry the followir message: Have lost my pass keyand can't get in. The gas is still burning.” This was too much for the old gentle- man, and his first idea was to come home atonce and turn it off himself, but just as he was getting ready to leave Mr. Yeslep reached the city. When the two met Mr, Yesl nid: *“Why, hello! Butler, what are you all packed for “I'm going home to turn off my gas said Mr, Butler. ‘At the rate it’s burn- ing the mpany wiil own half my property if Tstay much longer. Mr. Yesier persunded him that gas was very cheap in Seattle, and that the more & customer consumes the cheaper the rate is in proportion, and that if he should consume 100,000 feet during the mouth he was absent the rate when he got home would be $2.25 per thousand, instead of 3.50 per thousand, the © charged small consumers. Thisarrange- ment, while it was cousoling to a cor tain extent, did not dissuade Mr., Butler from his desire to get home “Let her burn,” said Mr. Yesler. nd go to southern California with Maddocks and myself. and when we get home 111 get Penfield to cut the bill down as much as possible, and I'll stand one-half the ¢ onse. Mr. Butler considered this a generous offer, and as he was very anxious to visit Los Angeles and other “booming towns south of San Francisco,concluded to *'let her buran Messrs, 'Butlar and Yesler arrvived home last night. The gas was still burning when Mr, Butler reached his room. Ho turned it out, and drawing a candle from his pocket, lighted it and exclaimed: “Revenge is sweet, If Pentield takes advantage of my absence to get a lien on my property, now, henceforth and foreve 1 will eschew gus and_illumipate my premises instead with tallow dips!” After Mr. Butler Lud retired for the night, and was dreaming of California, a quartet of his musical friends ten- dered him a delightful serenade, the neipal song rendered being that ich fecommences, iLet your lower lights be burning.”, They were followgd down stairs by a hootjack and an old shoe after the fivst verse had bean sung.

Among the numerous human curiositios who from time to time find a temporary re- treat in the police stations, is Admus H. Louis, who was arrested by Oficer Vanous last evening for begging and then growing violent because he was refused, at the home ‘Wenzel Kubec, 1241 South Fourteenth street. Louis claims to be a German-Ttalian, but neither of these nations will probably ever fight for the priority of claimon him.
