He says he was there in 1870
and was one of a party which
tried to go to the Black Hills in
search of gold. The party was
ridden down by the troops and
brought back. Longley then
enlisted in the army; in a little

back and put at hard labor, and
in the course of time deserted

(Virginia Chronicle.)
A man came into a restau-
rant last night, and mounting a
high stool leaned over the coun-
ter and ordered a porter-house
steak with eggs on the side, and
some ale and oystefs to begin
on. In about halt an hour he
had finished his repast and was
beginning to deliberate on what
kind ot desert he would wind
up on, when a man walked in,
and, tapping him on the shoul-
der, remarked :
uIs your name Billy Ilicks ?'*
l'Yes, that's my name," said
the mail on the stool, as the
hand stole down to his hip
pocket, fumbling for the handle
of a barker, "what do you wantl"*
"We had a little trouble once
before in White Pine, and now
t guess I've got you dead to
rights," continued the now com-
er, pulling out a large-sized six-
shooter.
"If you'll just step into the
street and pace off your distance,
I'm your man," said tho feeder,
who had just finished his pie,
and, whipping out a revolver,
he sprang ofi Ins perch and
rushed after the other into the
street.
The frightened restaurant man
got down behind the counter
and bent his ear to listen to the
shots and rush of the mob; but
he didn't hear anything unusual,
aud in about five minutes, he
recollected that there was $2.50
owing on the meal. Then he
went out on the sidewalk to in-
