F-choes from the Valley— Romance in Dakota j By MRS. MERRILL ANDERSON L*.*t us take a trip across the borderline into our neighboring state of South. Dakota and travel westward where we shall turn back the pages of time and re vive some of the outstanding I events of early day in the histor ic city of Deadwood. It is often called the most fa mous city of America. Once inside the city the scent of the romantic past seems to become more realistic. Famous for gold ore discovery, the city was so called because | of the entangled fallen timber in the gulch where the richest strikes were made.

Dead wood Gulch has been long remembered as the habi tation of “famous” personali ties most often referred to as “characters". Of these, Wild Bill tops the list. His career ended on August 2, 1876 when Crook ed Nose Jack McCall slipped up with a 45 and shot him in the back of the head. His motive was never quite clear, though he was freed on first trial. He was later tried and convicted at Yankton and hanged for his act. Wild Bill’s body lies on Ml. Moriah underneath a sandstone statue, which has been badly mutilated by souvenir seekers. Calamity Jane is buried be side him because she willed it so, however old timers who knew him well, stated it wouldn’t have met with Bill’s approval had lie known. Rev. Henry Smith, the first clergyman in the Black Hills also sleeps in Mt. Moriah cemetery. 20, 1876, 3 miles from Deadwood. -—I 4th Street Mkt.
