ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.l
SAN Francisco, Oct. l0.-The order
from the Secretary Of the Treasury at
Washington to superintendent Of the
United States Branch Mint here, to coin
nothing but half eagles, creates great dis
satisfaction among the brokers and bust
ness men OF this city. The following tele-
gram, signed by John Mckee, President Of
the San Francisco Clearinghouse; 81. l..
Drudge, President of the Chamber Of Com
merce, and J. @. Stetson, President of the
Board of Trade, has been sent to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury: 1.-THE Superin-
,endent Of the Mint here will pay half
eagles only 10 return for deposits OF gold
bullion. There 10 already q surplus OF this
denomination in circulation on this Coast,
and a further issue by the Mint will
greatly inconvenience the public. A
larger gold coin is wanted. We respect
fully request you to order the resumption
OF the coinage and payment of double
eagles In return for deposits Of gold bullion
at this Mint. The late large arrivals here
OF Australian gold bars and sovereigns,
which have been recoined, have largely
added to the plethora OF half eagles. Bullion
depositors claim the right TO say to the
Mint what denomination Of coin their
bullion shall be coined, and preference ID
gwen to the double eagle, 1t being more
convenient and more In accordance with
the requirements of trade on the Pacific
Coast. The cost OF coming one twenty
dollar piece is less than coming four five.
dollar pieces. while q proportionate loss
from the usage is also less. Another strong
argument against the smaller gold coinage
Ia that IL interferes with circulation"

! The Colorado brand law is now in
force. It possesses many good points
that should be embodied in statute
that can easily be passed at the next ses-
sion of the Dakota Legislature. The Col
orado law provides that the state brand
book shall be in the possession of the
secretary of state. Every person or cor
poration owning live stock in the state
by August 1, must have forwarded his or
their brands to the secretary. After
Aug. 1, any new brand mnst be forward
ed to the secretary who will record the
same provided it is not already recorded.
The secretary will forward to the owner
a.certified copy of the record, when the
brand shall also be recorded in the Off
ces of the clerk or recorder of the county
or counties in which the stock will
range. It shall be unlawful for any
county officer to record a brand not
authorized by the secretary Of state.

Tie '5hly resource for the sIndian lease1

behooyes our cowmen to watch this mar

County OreanizatiOu,

A number of persons have lately
spoken to lis and iii fact the. burden Of
the conversation seems TO he the advis-
ability of organizing the county. This
is By no means confined to Medora alone,
but at least half the stockmen in the
county have voluntarily expressed their
wish that the county be organized pro-
yided it does not cost an unreasonable
amount. "
In conversation with sheriff Harmon,
of Morton Co., our eyes were opened on
the subject of expenses. The actual
running expenses of a county are about
as follows: $500 each to the recorder and
treasurer, $3.50 to the county attorney.
500 to the assessor, and So each per day
to the commissioners while in actual
session. The sheriff's fees will surely
fall short of $1,000. This will make the
running expenses of the county not over
$4,000. In addition to this, good set
of county books will cost about $l,29u
and rent Of buildings for county offices,
say $500. This will make the expenses
for the first year in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Of this amount. at least $500
and perhaps more will be obtained from
the railroad, leaving less than s4OO to be
raised from the county.
Is there a man in the county after this
showing, who does not want to organ
ize? More than this, if we organize
before the tax is collected by Stark Co.,
we do not need to pay cent to that
county. Sheriff Harmon says that this
fact is proved beyond doubt.
Even if the organization cost the
people of Billings Co., $4,000 instead Of
$400 we think there would be no unwil.
lingness to organize.
With official power hundred and fifty
miles away, life and property are moi
safe. Who would object to paying his
share of $4O0 or even $4,000 to secure
protectionp ar
An easy problem for each to solve is to
figure the total assessable property at
$5Oo,OO0. Then say even $4,000 had to
be raised. This would equal a tax Of
eight mills. Now figure yonr share and
see if protection to life and property is
not worth the price. After figuring
your share of $4,000, consider that the
tax is liable to be only one-tenth of thai
original amount and see if it is profit
able to be at the mercy of-any drunken
ruffian who wants to paint the town red
All The above figuring does not include
the subject Of licenses. Medora is nov
paying Morton Co. $1,000 per yesr fo1
license tax. This amount will pay al
the school and road expenses of tn
county. s3$ IN }'z Es:s@' s'.'~ =

STATE OF KANSAS VS.. MAG WOODS,


! Yesterday being the first time since the
racket between Mag Woods and Lizzie
Dale, alias Lizzie Mccormick and several
other aliases, that the prosecuting witness
was able to come to court. the case was
brought before Justice Thomas for hear
ing. The Dale-McCormick girl being lame
and otherwise dilapidated, came in a hack.
Madame Woods and her. dusky lieutenant
were there in full force, and the preinina-
ries were arranged. Frank Dale appeared
Tor the commonwealth and Judge w. F.
Campbell also gave notice that he had been
retained in the case and had everything fixed
to take part in it. Mr.. Dale declined Judge
Campbell's assistance, and the Judge asked
the court to note that he claimed the right
to appear in the case. Stanley and Wall
appeared for the defense. The prosecuting
witness took the stand and testified as to
Madame Woods coming to. her house on
the 18th Of December, and gave her side
of the story about the battle that followed,
in direct manner making no effort TO con-
ceal the fact that she fired four shots at her
antagonist, after she had been hammered so
badly ms 10 leave her almost uuconcous.
Considering the close quarters in which the
combatants were, it was strange she did not
bring down her game, as Mag. is no very
slim mark. Mr.. Stanley went to considera-
BILE trouble to get up a diagram of the fort.
The testimony of the prosecuting witness
was concluded at noon, and the further
hearing of the case was continued until to-
morrow. The prosecuting witness hobbled
out of court leaning ON Judge Campbell's
arm, which circumstance elected hearty
laughter from the Queen of Spades and
Madame Woods.

THE BOOMERS.

Mr.. II. +. Sloan, of Sandusky, Ohio, ar
rived here direct from Arkansas City yester-

the boomers. He says an active, energetic
lawyer, 4. ID. Mum, late city attorney OF
! Braidwood, H., a John \. Logan style OF
man. is now the leading spirit among them.
He is reported to be a diplomatist and de-
ponds more on diplomacy than fight There
is where his head is level 1t is also said
that he has an organized company of two
hundred stalwart miners organized in the
town he came from and that one hundred of
them are expected to arrive here to-day.
On Monday, Mr.. Mum indited kilograms
to President Arthur, Senators Plumb, In

president was a lengthy affair and cost S14

the whole affair and that TWEEN
ty boomers all honorably discharged

testify as TO the ravages Of the stock-men

OF interest come ,ed with the territory.
We received nj dispatch last night
that the news about General Hatch receiv-
ing orders from Washington not TO move
against the boomers was an error and that
the troops are already on the move. The
question now is will the boomers fight. Mr..
Sloan thinks they will. He saws the BOOM

with arms and ammunition. In view of
these facts trouble is anticipated and news
of hostile encounter may be looked for
before many days.

ELEVATED TANK WATER.

judging from the several expressions and
running criticisms appearing in the columns
of the Wellington Press lately, touching the
musical culture of Wichita, as also her
transactions. of commercial character, it is
only too painfully evident to us that the
county seat Of Sumner, in some directions.
is getting too big for her clothes, notably in
the line of superior airs. In times, like the
present, it is exceedingly gratifying to note
every legitimate effort made by ambitious
neighbors to stem the adverse tide which
sets in so strongly, especially against devel-
opments of the mushroom order, vet it is
humiliating when such efforts and ambitions
take on the character of supercilliousness,
and but for the knowledge. gained by ex-
perience, that time tends TO a correction of
all such abnormal and irrational nugacity
we should despair. However, it is difficult
TO estimate the results of the influence which
$4,000 gallons of elevated tank-water, per
day, furnished directly through pipes at a
fire pressure, will have upon the average ed
itors whose water-works knowledge for the
best part of his life has been confined to the
manipulation Of gourd and rusty Tin
dipper.
