/ IS OMAHA DAILY BEE : SA OCTOBER 1 , 188.1 SAGEBRUSH SKETCHES. Some of the Peculiar Ambi tions of the Now Mining v Camp. How a Ohook'Querrilla Became an Object of a Respectful Attention. \ Long Bill Lonrns a Trlclc in Pluto Polror- Sw KramUca Call. It roiiiains to bo oxplnincd jnst why every now mining camp locates , foncoa in and roughly lays out in walks cut through the sagebrush , n buryi < g ground iminediiUuly after tlio camp itself ia located. The first saloon having boon opened , nnd the rude code of mining Inws adopted , the locator's next duty , nlwaya performed , is to establish n burying ground on Rome eonvunient knoll , and then wait with scarcely concealed impatience for an opportunity to appropriately dedicate - cato it. Thcro may uo some sort of natural sequence obaorvod in the first order of events' ! Thu saloon , ( ho la\va , the burying-ground. The first two are the chief clomonta of cause , con tributing toward the subsequent events which , malco the existence of the buryints-ground a wise public measure. ( The decisive argument of the pistol , t.nninating a game of V cards in the saloon , and the scatter- I ing remarks of thu double-barreled shotcun , upholding a claim under the \ accepted code of laws , furnish the opportunity - * . portunity for a proper opening , so to \ say , of the cemetery. The first burial is a sort of first-night-of-the-opora affair. A mining camp with an un occupied cemetery sots up no claim as a live or promising camp It realizes its youth and inexperience and the hollowness of its pretensions , and keeps discreetly quiet. THE VIllST KU.UM : And the subsequent planting of the late lamented , therefore , are matters of importance and great importance And tjrcab cause for congratulations. The dweller in civilized lands , and the inquiring tenderfoot , have long mis apprehended this question. The Hip- pant writers on an uninformed press have contented themselves with the theory that a ruining camp's pride in' the possession ) of bad men and sure shots , was in tlie notoriety their deeds gave the camp. How unjust , unkind and superficial ) It is not In the notoriety they I ring , but the yeoman servicp they d > in. populating tlio burying-g oundjthnt make the .bad men esteemed fitizonp and objects of pride. When , Aurora , Nevada , _ firat. bloomed forth ( s a mining camp in all the glory of throe saloons , each run ning two ganiUina games , ono frame tand cotton-wa'l ' hotel , and various > promising mi&s , there was still an unsatisfied lofging , a reaching out after a highel and nobler plane of existence ; forji week had passed since the cemetery { was laid out , yet it re mained uninhibited. Pioneer citizens , who had locata in the camps weeks before avortedtheir eyes in conscious insignificance When the now .arrivals anxiously inqlired the number of burials. The dgcs were .rich in free gold , to bo sut'l and'capital froifttjan ; o"wasft seeking inveatinehls1/ The road to Vson was being made passable for he vy freight teams , and one ot the saloj a were already Gelling 'ti whiskey for a b a glass ! Yet where- in lay the glorjj ) f all this , with an un- occupied cein iory mocking tho' promise of a right future ? It is needless then , < describe the feelings of the camp wffiii , ono night , a prominent inont citizen slot "Guerrilla" Gibson so called fronUiis habit of preying nipon the ungaijijid chips i and coin/of / faro players.

Yet next to tht citizen who had ai inadp Gibson dcsinble and usuful , by making him dead , the corpse \teulf re ceived the groafcct ' < mount of respect ful attention. New , life ' nd energy took possession of tlio camp' . Indus try thrived and a mising 'ooom set in. After that tha burying ; 'ground became a spooial bonst , for\ho aettlo- 61 inont of ndvotrp "liningclaiins / was 61tl attended with | froquunt flhoo'tmg af i.i fairs ; minors ) foj ) d vrn shafts , and tliG blew themselves u jvith powder ; i if G with an eye single to lliu pcnnr.ncuco fa and glory of iho cejrwtUiry , and 'fo ch suUingly the amp. lYonrs tit saw that conu'tury. ff ho c of deserted , and 0oIdainth'Hr !

But Dill learned the game , nnd , with a superior aptitude for gambling , beat thorn at it , in such odd hours as ho could spare away from his own taro-tablo. The Indians playodj lost again and again , and then thought the matter over. Early ono moriuni a squaw entered the saloon wliero Bill dealt faro , and asked the bar keeper for all the unused panks of cards lie had on hand. Thcro wore twenty- live p.icks , which she purchased with out n word and walked away. An hour afterward she came back , weep ing bitterly , followed by n stalwart buck , who throw down twenty-four of the parks , mid explained , apparently in a lordly rage , that the squaw wtss si "hoop big-a fool-a. " She had been told to buy only ono 'pack. The bn keeper j charged the Indian tlirqu prices ] for the one pack , and good- naturedly i returned tho'inonoy for th' * rest-sis i thcrd was nlways si ready sil > for | them. / The next day after that Long Bsl struck f n rich Tiuto poker game on sunny ; side of a vacant lot. Ho t a hand and lost. Ho sent n Piutojl'oy to | the saloon for a lia / dozen juckj of cards. ( In n mining camp a jjikor dock is not used for iuoro thai four hands j around. ) Hill * continttB to lose j , and sent for more cards , tfr tlw Indiana ] had none.

The game grew in sixo and htoreat. The jlaying ) was on ai > old red blanket stretched on the ground,1' around which the players squatted bross-lcg- leged. I Hack of thorn stood n circle of squaws , papoose laden , nnd tie picture was completed as to tlio figjrcs by n , lot l of skulking yellow dogi , so dear to { the Indian youth'p heart. Pack after pack of cards was opaied , dealt nnd thrown away , and st'll Hill lost. The bucks' faces were stolid , the sqaws' inflexible and the pipoosos' immovable \ movable ; but Bill's was a fmo study 0 % rage and surprise. * Hill's last dollar wont with the last' deal of the last deck. When ho'rq' turned to the sahjon , and was steady ing his nerves with several fingers ijf brandy , the barkeeper remarked : "I didn't know , Bill , when you bought'all those cards , that yot.'d return 'cm un used , like Pinto Sam did , tothcr day. What luck , old son ? " Then a suspicion the size of amoun- taiii tell upon Hill , but ho didn't say si word oven when he-had made u dis covery by going and examining the back of ono of tlio cards. Ho only muttered to himself , "Who'd think of looking for marks on a pack of cards you buy yourself nnd break the wrap per off of ? " Hut the story got around , despite Hill's ' efforts to Xeep it dark. Ono of the Piutfis , in ) the excitement of his success , got himself gloriously drunk , and talked about how they had doc tored the cards in Bill's own place . poisoned the very fouHtam-hcad of justice , so to say.
