s. Bullard. the Jolly old chap, Who haa been rustling cattle that Is hustling stock shipments, for the C. A N. W.

railroad at Pierre for the past two or three hundred years, more or less, Is In the city. There are few men In thla section of the country, among the old-timers who do not know Col. Bullard personally or by reputation. In the early days when we had to ride across the country In stage coaches, the colonel used to look after the wanta and comforts of passengers at Pierre and he had a genial, Jovial way about him that captivated the ladles and won the warc3at friendship of the sterner sex. The colonel la Just as fresh and chipper as he waa when he helped build Pike's Peak.

We do not know bow old he Is. and don't care. The colonel always has a good story to tell and Hob Burden Isn't In it with him getting off good things. The colonel was down at Denver a few days ago attending the big cattle conven tion and "roHRt bull" feast, which be was the greatest thing of the kind he ever saw. There were several acres of land covered with sides of beef, bur- falos and various other choice meats and fully 20.000 people devoured the edibles, hoofs, hides and all.

The colonel tells a good one on him self. He hnd been playing horse with the stockmen at Denver about a week and his condition showed a lack of rest and a superabundance of chain lightning. He finally boarded the train to come home. He was alck. He felt as though his stomach waa on springs, like a Jack-in-the-box, read to come ur He held himself together, how ever, aa well as he could and kept up appearances.

But at Hastings, when the train stopped at the depot, the colonel had to relieve himself and rushing to the platform of the car yelled "New York" so they could hear him to Crete. Just then a gentleman stepped up snd with a smile, though an expression of sympathy, says to the colonel, "what'a the matter are you sick?" The colonel haa faced Denver distilled and Injuns' bullets but was never taken off his guard In his Ufa. He drew himself up with an air bf dignity and pride, wiped the tears from his eyes and assured the stranger that he was not alck but waa only doing tiM fofVefffonTfr lBTrntrowi endeavored to prevail upon him to stop over and said that he was "his style ol chap." But the colonel came on to Deadwood-and la enjoying a visit with his friends, as he always does. McCOYS APPOINTMENT.

The powers tha be In South Dakota wen notified son time ago that the agent had tenderer his resignation and wanted to get out as soon as hla successor was appoint. Since that time they have considered one name after another, but no agree ment could be reached.

MeCov'a lovalty to the party hae been questioned and his appointment la not one that Is expected to reflect credit upon the party nor the administration, HOW IT HAPPENED. a letter from Keystone says: "There was a man killed here yeeterday at the Terror. Two of the carpenters were cleaning the chips and trash off tne timbers In the new department of the shaft.
