aA.fow ay8 uiM tcn r a dozen
cowboys came ovor'tO'LongIitWiHn- !
tion , from the Ohoycnno ranches , and
took possession of the town immedi
ately upon their arrival. As they
nuarud the saloon they began
through the plate-glass ( ? ) front ol
said building , terrifying the proprie
tor nd domolishim ; the bar fixtures.
As the track was cleared for a "night
of it" they burst open the door ,
and the way the forty-rod whisky
was disposed of was a caution. After
filling themselves too full for utter
ance , they again commenced firing , fill
ing the walls so full of lead that it had
the appearance of a first-class fortifi
cation with solid breastworks An
inventory was then taken , and it was
found that out of 1,200 bullotB 3GO
still remained. Accordingly a vote
was taken , and it was unanimously
decided to take in another supply of
whisky and then continue firing until
a round thousand shots were reached.
The only convenient thing to shoot
was the stove-pipe , and they opened
fire on the same , filling it BO full of
holca that it refused to do service any
longer. The Btovo , being full of green
wood , of course smoked the midnight
marauders out of the building , and
they repaired to the depot , whore
they boarded thu morning train , con
tinuing to fire from thu roar platform
of the hind car until well out of town. .
At about 10 o'clock a. in. the iorri-
fled inhabitants ventured out upon
the streets to count the dead and dy
ing , and , after several hourt ) of con
tinuous nearching , thu roll was called ,
and it was found that only one man
was missing , and that was Smith , of
The Long Pine News. Another search
revealed hitn wedged in BO clou ly be
tween two piles of wood that a pair of
mules were enlisted in the service to
extricate the frightened journalist
Our informant toys that no-ono was
hurt , consequently the forgiving citi
zens say that tkmy will cause no
trouble to the boys who "desired a
little fun" at the expense vf a demol
ished saloon and the partial demoli
tion of a frontier town.

CiticAdo , February 2.'J. A
Springfield (111. ( ) special Bays : A cu
rious piece of political information
has come fairly to the surface in cer
tain circles hero , which is of more
than ordinary interest. It is well
known that all the speculations touch
ing the. piobable candidacy of Samuel
J. Tilden for thu piesidonti.il nomina
tion in 1884 have been so veiled iu
thu customary mystery of Cipher Al
ley as to convey but slight evidence
of certainty to the public. But the
poliUcal centre of Illinois at this mo
ment contains thu first really substan
tial evidence that thu old fox is in the
field. In the course of a
private and very confidential
conversation between two
intimate political friends of ex-Govor-
nor John M. Palmer within the past
fuw days , a disinterested bystander
ovorheaul the remark that the ex-
novornor had just receivtd n letter
from Mr. Tilden conveying the information
mation that the latter , after frcqulit
conferences with the ablest ot his-
democratic advisois and friondp. had
consented to become a candidate for
the democratic nomination in 1884 ,
upon the condition that Governor Pal
mur would consent to stand for the
Hccond place. The gentleman referred
to stated that Mr. Tilden had written
very fully and apparently very freely
that' ho recognized Mr. Palmer as
probably the ablest representative of
democrats in the west , and that ho be
lieved the ox-governor's popularity
among the colored people would ren
der it impossible ) for the republicans
to hold the negro vote against
a ticket which bore his name. Th
friends nv numicd wtro evidently delighted -
lighted with tno nii-a that "tho gov-
urnor'looks cautiously but favorably
oavthu iiropouition , 'i na they oxproflsod
it I' * * * ? " ) "tv . , t 'v JSPJft
- ' - . .r.y'T
When approached by a reporter for1
a statement in regard to the matter
Governor Palmer gave evident signs
of embarrassment , and made several
attempts to avoid the subject. When
pressed to say something either nega
tive or affirmatively , ho answered :
"Now you must remember that I
have not committed myself in any
way whatever. "
'Then , governor , " asked the re
porter , ' 'might I say that you deny
having received such a cummunica-
on and proposition as I' have mon-
oned ? "
"You will remember that I have not
oinmitted myself. That is all , " was.
is reply.
Quito a liUlo circle of the governor's ,
uost trusted advisors use in posses-
on of the secret and thorp can be no.
ossiblo doubt that he has received ,
uch a letter from Tilden and that its-
orients are in substance as stated'
bove. A particular friend of the
overnor'u was asked 1C ho thought an
tiBwer had been sent to Tilden. Ho
aid nothing hud been done , he aup-
oaud , beyond a aimplu ucknowledg-
uontof the receipt , and a promise to
eply fully at as early a day us posii-
ile.
