Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-08-04
Eminently Correct.

The Buffalo Gap News, commenting
on Prof Emmens' deposit of 81 900 in a
Rapid City bank to be combined with
Rapid capital in the establishment Of a
concentration plant for the reduction OF
tin ore, pronounces the scheme feast
BILE one, but very reasonably claims,
that in view Of Custer City being in the
centre Of the tin district, that the pro-
position should have been submitted to
the business men or this place.
The News is eminently correct in the
suitable place for the location of such a
plant, but is evidently misled in the
impression that Prof Emmens ever
contemplated, or suggested the erection
Of such plant at Rapid. He recon-
mended the establishment of the plant
in the midst ofsome group ofgood mines,
and as there are no tin mines, good or
otherwise, in that locality, it is evident
that it was not his intention TO erect the
plant at that place. The News further
says:
1t is only question Of time until
Custer will have a plant, but she is in
a position, if such is the disposition of
her monied men. to decide the question
of time by at once commencing opera
tons. Buffalo Gap has taken the initial
step in the development Of her sand
stone industry, after waiting year for
outsiders. What's the matter with Gus
ter doing the same with her tin? There
is no use in adhereing to the Micawbian
doctrine of waiting for something to
turn mp" Turn it up yourselves and
reap the benefit.

The Walking Match.

New YORK, May S.-Littlewood still
continues to lead in the six day walk.
Since the start he has been off the track
only w hours and twenty-eight minutes.
Cartwright has been steadily losing
ground. He stays off the track more
than any one else. But few people we're
in the garden after midnight and nothing
of interest occurred. The score at 9
O'Clock this morning stood:
L%ittlewood, III miles; Cartwright I55;
Golden, 1853; Hegelman, l25; Campana.
l2S; Saunders, 1874; Hughes, 1872; Herty,
l55; Guerrero, 1876; Dillon, l29; Vint,
100; Noremac, l49.
The exciting scene of the day occurred
shortly after noon. Hughes, knowing
that Littlewood was probably disabled,
rolled off lap after lap. Slowly he gained
on Littlewood until at 1918 he passed
him amid the enthusiastic shouts of the
spectators. At ? o'clock he was six miles
in the lead. Hegelman and Day have
withdrawn.
At midniget the race stood: Hughes,
232; Golden, 2IS; Cartwright, 2O4; Vint,
$50; Littlewood, 225; Guerrero, 30; Cam
pana, lS9; Saunders l55; Hcrty, 225;
Noremac. 206; Dillon, ISS. Hughes is
limping now.

CHICAGO, May S.-W. T. Coleman &
Co. have had no agency in either Chicago
or New York since Jan. |, their business
in both cities having passed into the
hands Of Delatield, Morgan, KiSsell &
Co, of which firm Y. B. McGovern,
the former Chicago agent Of Coleman
Il Co., is a member.
McGovern was seen late last night and
said that he first heard of the failure a
lew hours before. 1t was as great a sur,
PRISE to him as he knew it would be to
.nG business community generally. He
estimated the liabilities at 80, 600. 600,
nearly all of which would fall non New
York City. Not a dollar would be lost
~ chicago through the failure.
The firm has been considered thor
oughly reliable and its credit was
excellent. Its paper has been On the
market and was chiefly in the hands oI
various New York banks, upon whom the
loss would fall. The collapse would also
involve the many salmon and fruit can
ming establishments of the Pacific coast,
and many of these concerns would be un
able to survive the crash.

Stocks and Cattle Markets.

New YORK, May S.-The stock mar
ket was again only moderately active and
generally weak, though there were spurts
of animation during the day as well as
marked recOverles at times. The infu-
ences at work upon the list were mostly
in favor of a lower range of values, the
principal one being the selling of stocks
in this market by foreigners, induced by
higher rates for money in London. Local
bears hammered the list, especially in the
afternoon. Other influences, such as the
illness OF the emperor. the recent Cole
man failure, and the small acceptances of
bonds by the treasury to-day, hadssomc
Eject in producing a general bearish feel

Washington Notes.

WAsHINGToN, May S. Concerning
the enforced military duty required by
France OF naturallzei Am crican citizens,
Secretary Bayard has instructed Minister
Mcl4ane to inform NJ LorCns that the
government of the United States holds
that a decree of naturalization granted by
it to a French citizen is not open to im-
parchment by the French government
either in the eX cutive or judicial branch,
and if it is alleged to have been IMPROVE
IDENTIFY issued the remedy is by applica-
ton to the department of state. You
will further say, writes the secretary,
that il the subsection to forced military
service OF citizens whose cases yOu report
is based upon an assumption that they are
not citizens of the United States this de-
partment asks for the release and for
proper compensation for the losses which
they have received by such detention.
1t cannot be admitted hat American
citizens not charged with any crime should
be detained under arrest for ven a single
day after their proofs Of citizenship have
been presented. la cases like this the
United States can never admit the pro-
prlety of submitting to ordinary delays of
judicial action.
Postmaster General Dickinson has
written a letter to }. Il. Nash, general
superintendent of the railway mail ser,
vice, accepting with the utmost regret his
resignation rendered some weeks ago.
The senate bill favorably reported to

A GOOD
An Association Which Will Advance the
Interests OF This Section.

The Wyoming Colonization Loan and
Trust company, paid up capital 800, 900,
was incorporated here several months
since and commenced active business the
LIST inst. Among the gentlemen connect
ed with the association are f. S. II.
Boughton, g. A. Campbell, Jos. G. Pratt,
f. +. Warren and w. w. Corlctt, all
well known men Of means and good bust
ness Judgment who are interested in the
territory.
At this particular time the company
fills a niche which many citizens of Wyo-
ming have viewed with regret for some
time. At present there is alively demand
for money at reasonable rates and the
company is prepared to meet these de-
mands. By associating with Eastern
firms the territorial association is enabled
to negotiate loans for long periods at ad-
v~antageous rates. 1t can accommodate
a demand for half II million dollars and
will be the cause of circulating much
money in this section.
One pleasing feature of the company's
business is the readiness with which loans
are made on final proofs. This Is an in
novation in brokerage and a departure
which will relieve many new comers. The
company in making loans on this security
places implicit reliance in the land offices,
being convinced that when final proof is
issued here a patent will be granted in
time.
The association owns $1,000 acres Of
land in Wyoming, and has the agency for
large tracts on the line of the Cheyenne
n Burlington in Nebraska. These lands
will doubtless be rapidly settled.
Correspondents will list property and
represent the company in almost every
town in the territory, and Wyoming lists
will be kept by the associations Eastern
correspondents.
In addition to making loans and colon
izing and dealing in real estate, the COM
pany will buy and sell cattle.

Jones, of the Republican national com
mittce, in an interview with a Tribune re-
porter tonight %emphatically denied the
reported interview with him sent out from
Pittsburg last Saturday night, in which
he was made to say that Blaine could not
support Allison, Sherman or Harrison for
the nomination; hat Blaine was socially
friendly to these gentlemen, but politi-
cally they were wide apart. He had not
received any letter from Mr.. Blaine since
his letter of withdrawal. Mr.. Blaine, he
said, had certainly withdrawn as n candi-
date, but if the convention should nomi-
nate him, that is quite another thing.

BosToN, May S.-The fight tonight
at the new Era hall between Tommy Dan
forth of New York and Havclin of
Charlcstown, proved a very tame and I'M
satisfactory affair. Although announced
to be a fifteen round fight, the contest was
dragged through eighteen rounds, when
the Judges declared it a draw. Dan
,forth's face showed more marks of VIC
lence than Haveiln's, although neither
man was badly used up. The fight was
nominal.y for a purse of $500, and on
the whole was rather a tame affair.

New York, May S.-The dead BODY
OF Nathaniel w. Hatch, a member of the
firm OF Walter L. Hatch Il Sons, bankers
and brokers, was found in the yard of No.
81 West Twentieth street this morning.
The story of his death cannot now be told,
but the story of Mrs. Lillian Scofeld. a
handsome woman about 80, suggests muir
der actuated by jealousy. Mrs. Scofield
and her husband, Charles w. Scoield,
were taken to the police station this morn
ing, when Mrs. Scofield said she had
dlned with Hatch, who accompanied her
home about midnight She invited him
into the house. Scofield was asleep in
the back parlor, but was aroused By the
movements Of his wife and Hatch. The
latter was hastily concealed on the second
floor. Scofleld's jealousy was aroused and
he questioned his wife in a most violent
way concerning the man who had been
with her. She steadfastly refused to give
the mans name, and insisted that he had
left the house.
ScOfeld then left the house and she
searched for Hatch, but could not find
him, and thought he had also left the
house. She retired, and knew no more
OF the broker or what happened in the
night until the body was discovered in the
morning. Scotield was formerly a broker
IN good circumstances. He told the po-
lice that he had cause on several occasions
to doubt his wife's fidelity. Hatch was
30 years old and lived with his wife in a
handsome house on Fity-thiGd street.
Ills wife was formerly one of the most
prominent ladies in Brooklyn society.
