Show BLACK HILLS. Rents in Dead wood are about one-halt one-halt what they were last spring, and there area few vacant store-rooms. On the whole, this bas been a losing season for the sporting or gambling gamb-ling fraternity. During last spring the spoils harvested among the 'tender feet' and the floating population popula-tion were sufficient to make gambling lucrative. Now times have changed and most of the gaudy dens have been closed, their proprietors leaving for richer fiilds. In regard to the killing of J. C, Tuttle, at Deadwood, the Pueblo Chieftain says: The person above alluded to is no other than Cephae Tuttle, a very bad man and a fugitive from justice in this county. How Tuttle persuaded the wife of bis neighbor to attempt to murder her husband, and bow she shot and wounded one of her own children while trying to follow Tuttle'a advice, are stilt fresh in the minds of out people. Tuttle was arrested an.! admitted ad-mitted to bail, and in order to escapt being lynched by the indignani people, jumped hi. bail and departed between Iwo days. |
