Sidney and Centenary Plans and Black Hills Note
In Sidney on June 8 1876 two days from Sidney by good road reach Harney Peak and stage coach runs to Custer City. A joint resolution urges counties to celebrate the Centennial with local historical sketches to be filed with Congress. Reports note theft of a duchess of Devonshire portrait with a $5000 reward, and a lenient presidential stance toward gold hunters on the Black Hills with Sheridan tasked to protect supply routes.
