The happy event thus chronicled is
one Of interest to many people in the
Hills. Mr.. Scott is well known as a
pioneer of Rapid City-one of the first
to establish his home here, and one who
has done much to attract other people
to the Hills country. The bride is the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis EVERY,
Of Harnev, and is a young lady who has
won general esteem. A few friends
were present at the ceremony, and after
the twain had been made one and con
CALCULATIONS had been offered all parties
took ola bountiful repast prepared by
Mrs. Everly. Mr.. and Mrs. Scott now
occupy the coy home prepared by Mr.
Scott a short distance north from town.

We believe in giving credit where
credit is due, and in this connection we
think a good deal Of credit is due TO Mr.
Ben. F. Porter for his prompt and
efficient service in arresting the parties
implicated in the killing of Geo. Middle
ton at Battle River. 1t was not Mr..
Porters duty any more than that of any
other citizen. But there seems to be a
lack Of organization in that district and
no officer to make the arrest. So
In the interest Of law and order, Mr.,
Porter done it himself and held the par
ties by night and day until they were
delivered up to the proper authorities
and securely lodgedi in Jail % miles from
the scene Of the shooting. All this
bespeaks a spirited citizen who loves
law and order.

Christmas exercises Of the Congrepa-
tional and Methodist Sunday schools
were had on Thursday evening, the
first named at the court house and the
Methodist at their meeting house, on
Harvey street. At the Congregational
we found an ample supper awaiting
everybody who put in al appearance,
the tables being well filled with
chickens, turkey, sandwiches. cakes,
pies, etc, with ~corncopsia filled with
candies and nuts for the little ones.
Apples being freely distributed to the
children and guests at the close OF the
supper, after which the children render.
ed a lengthy but highly entertaining
programme OF exercises consisting Of
Rotations, songs, etc. which space for
bids orr attempt to enumerate. The
efforts Of several Of the smallest among
n little ones were particularly good,
but we dare not mention names where
all did SO we'll and were evidently SO
anxious to please. The hall was crowd
ed, the children had a jolly time, and
the older folks seemed to enjoy the &C.
casion as much as, We are glad to say,
we OF the CHRONICLE did. We wish
there were more than one Christmas
time in q year.
At the Methodist church festival
here was no literary entertainment as
first contemplated, on account of the
lateness OF the hour. But the festival
was we'll attended, there being about
l25 people. The singing was excellent,
and the supper superb. and all seemed
to enjoy themselves until the hour for
retiring.

A hre occurred about IL o'clock on
Wednesday, the 22nd, in the building
occupied by T. /. Wheeler as a drug
store, on the south side Of Custer aven.
ne In the same block with the bank and
Booth & Webster's store. And as there
was considerable wind at the time, there
WAS great danger Of the whole of that
side Of the business street Of Custer
going up in smoke. But by prompt
action on the part Of our efficient fire
company and the citizens Of the town
it was soon gotten under control and
quenched.
Speaking Of quick action, We have
seen a good many fires in the large
cities, and in frontier towns, but never
yet saw a call of fire responded to as
quickly and effectively az on this oc.
casion. The fire was first discovered by
Mr.. John Wilhelm, as he. came riding
into town from the Grand Junction
mine. He Immediately rushed for the
bell rope and gave the alarm, and We
really do not think it was more than
two minutes from the first tap of the
bell, until it seemed that almost every
man in Custer, and half Of the m
were OH the ground. And it was a
noticeable fact that every woman had a
pail OF water in her hands. This illu.
strates the nerve and presence Of mind
our ladies acquire by living on the
frontier. So different from their sisters
In the east, who, instead of being ready
to meet any and every emergency, usu-
ally seem to think it the proper thing to
faint and fall into it.

We are Of opinion that when upon
the decision Of the proper Office, that
the citizen has become entitled to a
patent for a portion Of the public lands,
such a patent is in that Office made out
and signed by the president, and when
the seal Of the United States is affixed
to the instrument, countersigned by the
recorder Of the land office, and duly
recorded in the record book kept for
that purpose, it becomes a solemn public
act of the government Of the United
States and needs no further delivery or
other Authorization to make it perfect
and valid. That in such case the title

0PuEAo la tuo supreme COurt.
The following is an extract from the
decision OF the supreme court, delivered
by Justice Miller, which shows that
Commissioner Sparks cannot lawfully
withhold patents to land that have been
proved up on, and the government re-
ceipt is just az good as a patent:
"The constitution of the United States
declares that congress shall have power
to dispose of and make all needful rules
and regulations respecting the territory
and other property belonging to the
United States, and under this provision
the sale Of the public lands has been
placed by the statute under the control
Of the secretary Of the interior.
To aid him in the performance of this
duty, a bureau has been created, at the
head of which is the commissioner of
the general land Office, with many sub.
ordinates. To them rs a special tribunal
congress has contided the execution Of
the laws which regulate the surveying.
the selling, and the general care Of these
lands.
Congress has also enacted a system Of
laws by which rights to these lands may
be acquired, and the title Of the govern
ment conveyed to tie citizen, and this
court has with a strong hand upheld the
doctrine that 81 long as the legal title
to these lands remained in the United
States, and the proceedings for acquir-
ing title were As yet lin feri" before
this special tribunal created by congress
for deciding the questions which should
arise in the course Of these proceedings,
the courts would not interfere to control
the exercise Of the power thus vested
in that tribunal. To that doctrine we
still adhere.
But We have also held that when. bv
the action of these officers and Of the
president Of the United States, in issu-
ing a patent to u citizen, the title to the
land has passed from the government,
the question of who il the real owner OF
it is open in the proper courts to all the
considerations appropriate to the case
And this is So. whether the United
States shall sue TO set aside the patent
aud ecover back the title SO conveyed
rs in United States W.. Stone, . Wall
525, or an individual shall shall sue to
have the title conveyed by the patent
held by the patentee in trust for that
individual, on ccount Of equitable cir.
cumstanceS which entities him to that
relief-(J"hnson vs.. Towsley, l3 Wall.

Judge Church and tho Pioneer.

The publishers Of the Pioneer having
been called to show cause why they
should not he punished for contempt OF
court, that paper retaliates in All article
more bitter, vindictive and abusive than
ever, as the following extract will show:
And yet this Judge, this learned
apostle q the law. this WORKOUT carpet
Dagger, this cast-Off barnacle Of u de-
funct statesman. takes it upon himself
to vindicate and purify the character OF
= man daily committing a libel upon
the public"
The question is not now so much the
right or wrong Of the matter, as it is a
question Of law. Even Judge Church
himself seems to be in doubt whether
under the circumstances his court is the
proper tribunal in which to try the
offenders, as it is against the spirit of
our institutions for a judge to decide in a
Though the judge says he could do it
fairly and impartially, AS he has no
anger in the matter and cares nothing
for the abuse 50 for as it relates to him
self. The stickler with him is from the
fact that the usefulness Of a court
depends upon the confidence ofthe com
munity in the justice and honesty Of the
court. And while he holds that posi-
ton, he deems it his duty to society,
for the protection Of which courts are
instltuted) to maintain the dignity and
responsibility Of the court. Such We
gather as a synopsis of his remarks
upon the subject. But one thing is
pretty well assured, he is not the kind
Of man to let the matter drop where it
is, and the end is not yet.
