Misplaced Confidence.

A strange case of misplaced confidence
occurred at the William Penn Colliery,
near Shenandoah on Saturday afternoon.
The colliery employees were being paid Off
and among those yet in the mine were ten
or twelve Polish miners, working in adJon-
ing breasts, who selected George Botter, one
of their companions, to go to the surface
and draw their money. He took their
checks and received the amounts due, some
thing over $500. Iustead of returning to
the mine Botter took to the woods and u
thorough search has failed to find him.

The FOURTH AT STEELE.
THE wIDE-AwAKE CITIZENS OF
~. STEELE CELEBRATE
I'm Manner Which Does the Yam
kee Bird Proud and Reflects
Credit on the County Seat
OF Kidder.

A representative of the TRIBUNE had the
pleasure Of being present at the celebration of
the national holiday in the bright little city of
Steele, and her citizens proved themselves equal
to the emergency of an overwhelming crowd of
strangers who we're entertained in q most royal
manner. The Steele cornet band furnished
music during the day and the manner in which
they played many beautiful pieces would have
done credit to bands of more metropolitan airs.
Among the festivities and attractions were horse
and pony racing, match game of ball, jump
ing and throwing contests, summing races and
other athletic sports. Speeches were made by
Messrs. w. +. Steele, Holly Oonger, Ed. Britton,
Walker and Parker. The remarks of these
gentlemen were received with enthusiasm by
the large oonoourse of people in attendance
and as they spoke of the prosperity, bright
prospects and growing wealth of Steele, Dakota
and the northwest, loud huzzahs rent the air.
In the evening brilliant display of over 5000
worth of fireworks engrossed the attention of
the celebrators, after which they adjourned to
the hall where 1O7 couples participated in the
exercise Of dancing. This demonstration of the
never-ceasing zeal and enterprise of the people
of Steele will be lasting advertisement for the
town, as many strangers were present, and the
day will be remembered by all who had the good
fortune to be in attendance as one of true
American jollifcation.

Mining Claim Decisions.

M10lng clam decisions.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The secretary of the
interior has decided in the case of the Rob Roy
mineral lode at Helena, NJ. T., that when two
applications covering in part the same ground
and the first application made has been aban-
doned the ground in controversy comes within
the purview of the second application and is
subject thereto. Previous to this decision it has
been held by this department in case of the
abandonment of land in controversy that the
abandoned tract should revert to the public
domain. In the case of the Bob-tail mineral lode
vs. the Caledonia lode in the Whitewood mining
district in Deadwood, D. T., the secretary Of the
interior decides that after the claimant has OBJ
tained judgment in his favor in court of COM
petent jurisdiction he is at liberty to take the
necessary steps pointed out by the statute to
obtain patent. He need net wait until the
time for claiming an appeal to higher court
has expired. He may proceed subject to being
again stayed by an appeal, but if an appeal is
taken the steps which he had taken subsequent
to the decision toward obtaining a patent are
held to be valid if he is fully successful in q
higher court.
