About a year ago IA woman named
Anna NJ. Weigel had her throat cut by
her husband in a quarrel, from the
effects of which she was confined to her
bed for some weeks. She was at that
time member Of three women's benevO-
lent assOciations--the Washington Lodge

Der Pretestandischer Inter Stutzungs
Verein der Frauen and Jungfrauen, Won
Cincinnati. From each of these socie-
ties she was entitled to certain sum
weekly during illness, but they refused
to give her anything, and yesterday she
brought suit against them before Squire
Schwab for nine dollars each. The de-
Tense set up by the Association was the
very peculiar one that her conduct to-
ward her husband was such that she
deserved to have her throat cut, and
that consequently, having brought her
illness on herself, she was not entitled
TO any benefit. Squire Schwab over
ruled, as he did not consider sufficient
evidence had been introduced TO show
that the husband had been justified in
cutting his wife's throat. He therefore
gave judgment for the plaintiff in the
full amounts Tsked Tor.

The Wife of Henry Clay,

Mr.. George w. Ranck has contributed
to the Lexington (Ky.) Transcript an
article, in which he says: "What Ash.

band was at the Capitol Of the nation
more than half his time. She attended
to everything, including five sons, who,
according to their old teacher Amos
Kendall, were not the meekest of the
lambs that gamboled at Ashland. She
managed the farm, with its crops and
live stock, her household affairs, a large
family of children, and not a few Negro
servants, so well as to assist largely in
keeping up Mr.. Clay's fortune, which
was constantly subjected To heavy
drains. She often pulled the finest OF
her vegetables with her own hands, and
sent them, with butter, milk, and fruit,
regularly to the market to be sold. My
children laugh at me for selling such
things, but they never object to the
money get for them Her treatment
of her slaves will be judged from the

BLACK HILLS NOTES

Deadwood Times: The burden Of the
local news Of the newspapers of the Hills is
the thieves and their work.
The story published a few days ago about
an attack by forty Indians ON a freight train
eight miles from Rapid City, turns out to be
a canard-no truth in it whatever.
Mercantile business in Deadwood is I'M
proving.
The Telegraph is the name Of the even
ing paper lately started at Lead City by
Charles Burch and j. C. Crandall.
Col. j. f. McKenna, of the U. S. land
office, Desdwood, is prospecting for the sher-
if's office Of Lawrence county.
Road agents went through the Cheyenne
coach on the morning of the 2!d. The rob-
bers secured two watches and about $40 in
money from the passengers.
There are several aspirants in the Hills
for the iudgeship which is expected to be
made vacant by the resignation Of Judge
Bennett.

LAwLEssNEss IN THE HILLS.

The following, which we find in the
Black Hills Herald Of the Oath, discloses a
state of lawlessness in the Hills which would
seem to justify the severe measures suggest
ed by that paper:
To-day a strong feeling of insecurity pre-
walls amongall classes, and with reason. Our
homes and places of business are invaded
nightly, awful crimes are committed in our
midst, and we are absolutely without pro.
lection. Tell a Black Hitler to-day that the
law protects him, and he will regard his in.
formant as a downright fool, or ~luna!ic.
What little law there is in Dakota, says
that men are allowed to put in a plea
of extenuating circumstances, whenever
they transgress its statues. If this be
the case, why should not our wronged
and insulted citizens take advantage
of it, and combining for mutual protection,
rid the country Of the desperate gang of rob-
bers and assassins who laugh at legal at
tembts for their capture and overthrow.
What man among us, living in an isolated
portion in either of the towns, dares to leave
his family alone for twenty four hours at a
time. The long catalogue ofdark and terri

short, this burning disgrace must end, and
