/, The Cheyenne. Leader reports a
very important decision BY .AttOr-
ney- General PierrePt6idf n the mat
ter of tho Black. Hills miners: One
of their number, named S4ffs, had
been arrested by the military for
entering the Sioux reservation, and
refusing to sign parole, was brought
before Judge Shannon of Montana
Territory. He submitted the case
to the Attorney General, whose
opinion ia as follows:
No United States statue makes a
breach of the provisions in the
Sioux treaty an Offense against the
United States; therefore. to invade
the Black Hills is no violation of
law, and those invading them can
not be punished.
If this decision is authenticated,
the effect will be to throng the
country with miners as soon as any
news Of rich finds has been receiv-
ed.

1se act Of the last Legislat urs Of

lion Of the proceedings of Boards

and every citizen wishes to- know
what this body does when it 10 a.
sembled officially. The tax levies.
assessments, road reports, county
o@cial1 quarterly reports, school
reports, ETC., etc.. all pass through
the hands Of the Board, and amount
TO nothing till received and sp.
proved by them and all such de-
liberstions are Of immediate inter.
ese to the citizen, and should be
made public for his benefit. We
have offered before to publish the
proceedings gratis, but Of course
the clerk Of the Board is not going
to the troable to furnish MS q COPY

from ten to thirty pages legal cap

CATION to that capacity, and he il
accordingly reaunerated.
We believe that every citizen in

tho proceedings OF the Board Of

thst they should be published and
