Roller skating.

Richard Flick came over from Rapid
the first Of this week where he had
spent the past year in going to school
and earning to operate a pair of roller
skates. He proposes, if he can make
the necessary arrangements, to get abou;
20 pair of skates and open a rink, prob,
ably in the Crook street hall. The sport
is conductive of good health as it eXer.
cises about all the muscles Of the body
and to spectators would probably be the
means Of furnishing plenty of amuse.
ment and We hope Rich will be success
ful in securing skates and a hall. In
Rapid the rink is patronized by young
and old, and we see no reason why one
in Custer would not do as well. The
entrance fee for gentlemen would be -
cents and % cents for each pair Of
skates.

r. Gibson, county commissioner of
Fall River county, passed through town
Yesterday on his return to the Cheyenne
River from D~eadwood, where he was in
attendance on a contested land case.
Mr.. Chilson has one of the finest loca-
tons on the Cheyenne River and this
fact has been taken advantage of BY j.
n. Smith Of Pine Lake, Mich, one of
the most extensive breeders of Gallo
way cattle in the United States, who
proposes to change his base of opera
tons to Chilson's bar at the mouth Of
Hat Creek where he will be in the midst

ming. As soon as grass starts the
change will be made aud Il farm for the
breeding Of Galloway and other blooded
cattle and horses be organized at the
place mentioned. In securing the serv-
ices Of Mr.. Chilson he has a man every
way qualified for the business who will
contribute no little to the success Of the
enterprise.

arrived in custer Tuesday from Valen-
tine, Neb.
There business here was to secure the
shipment of goods over that line to Gus

warder, through whose hands all goods
over the U. P. via Sidney, have to pass,
will be done away with. They propose
to give our merchants the same rates as
are made by any other route to Rapid
which will be three cents or less from
Chicago. The gentlemen passed through
Pine Ridge on their way here and held
Il council with Indians and agent which
resulted in an arrangement being made
with the Indians to do the trans 2orta-
ton from the end Of the railroad. The
red gentlemen are well supplied with
horses and wagons and each outfit OF
ten wagons will be in charge Of one or
more Indian Police. 1t is intended IL
make ii fast freight, as they will drive
to Pine Ridge and there secure fresh
stock for the balance Of the trip to Gus
ter and we hope our business men viii
do all they can to encourage the enter
prise.
q Aside from the benefit 10 be derived
vantage Of having it billed direct to this
place the establishment of the route
will be the means OF connecting us with
the ). c. & =. by a stage line at nc
distant day, which would be a good

1t would seem from the following in
the Sturgis Record that Welch, Farley
& Co. would have a branch house here
this summer: Fred 7. Evans was
down this week and had a long talk
with Farley on matters connected with
the firm Of John Farley & Co. The
headquarters of that firm are believed
to be definitely fixed at Sturgis. All the
other houses-Deadwood, Spearfsh,
Rapid, Custer and all-are only branch
houses. This is where the business will
be done. A strong believe is also ex-
pressed that this will be the headquar-
tiers of the Evans transportation line.
