to join me next morning and hold the
claim (promising him an interest which
he got) while Iwent to Deadwood to
talk up the scheme and organize the
town company. The next man I APP
preached was the Hon. E. G.. Dudley,
formerly of this city, who took hold with
a will, and helped to push forward the
enterprise. The company when formed
was composed of General S. ID. Sturgis,
q. s. army; Colonel H. NJ Lazelle, now
of the Twentieth infantry; the late Hon.
B. G. Caulfeld previously congressman
from Chicago district, Illinois); Hon.
2. G. Dudley, Arthur Buckbee, the
writer and others. The Importance of
the town present and prospective is as
above stated, and how well this city can
afford to have delegation Of business
men or newspaper men who go to the
Hills to seek business for this city, not to
bestow favors, shah off on that commun-
ity is one OF the questions which we sub
init to our readers. We're it not for the
personal malice of Rosewater toward the
writer hereof the Bee would not at

President Loucks.

HI. s. Loucks, president OF the Dakota
Farmers Alliance, accompanied by G.
V. Gardner, arrived by the train Mon
day morning at Sturgis. The notice OF
his expected presence had not been as
generally circulated among the farmers
as it should have been, and the people
of the county being very much interested
in the election to be held for the location
of the county seat as well as county Off
GERS on the following day, the attendance
was not as large as it would otherwise
have been.
At 2 o'clock promptly the town hall
was well filed with farmers and others
interested in knowing more about this
organization which is destined to soon
become such prominent factor in the
politics of the new state of South Dako-
ia. After few Introductory remarks by
Capt Gardner he introduced Mr.. Loucks.
President Iloncks has held the position
of president OF the alliance since its first
organization in Dakota, and notwith-
standing the fact that he has been thor
oughly abused by many outside of the
alliance he not only has gained but re-
tains the confidence of the farmers of
Dakota. This fact was we'll attested BY
his unanimous election, contrary to his
own wishes, to the presidency for the
fourth term Of office. He is a man APP
parently thirty five or forty years OF age,
of good address, frank and affable in his
manners; and although making no pre-
tention to oratory interested the audience
for over one hour and half in stating
the objects, the work that had been done,
the good that had been accomplished,
and the prospective benefits to be de-
rived not only by the farmer but all
classes when the objects Of the alliance
were accomplished.
His remarks were interesting through
out. But few listened to his plain, prac-
teal, common-sense talk who did not 70
away with the conviction that there was
more to the organization than they had
supposed. That much has been accom-
plished by the alliance in the way OF
eheapening farm machinery all must adj
NIT. Not agreeing with all the positions
taken or demands made BY the alliance
We must admit that the farmers have fhe
same right to organize for the advance
lnent of what be deems his own interest
that any other class, profession Or oecu-
patton has.
We will watch with interest the ma
nipulation 81 this organization when they
embark II the terbulent field Of politics,
and predict that they like most political
parties will become the prey of the willy
politician who worka Ii his own interest

Friday yi~sa4.-s..ss ss-~ssAs -.
Judging from the reports in the Bee,
the people of Sturgis seem to have sown
their good seed upon rather stony
ground, as that Journal scarcely mentions
the town. Sturgis is situated one and a
half miles east of the mouth OF Bare
Butte canyon which furnishes the only
practicable railway gap to the gold belt at
Lead City by way of Deadwood and to
the silver belt at Galena, seyerally. The
output of the Homestake mines at Lead
City and surroundings is from 100000
to 100000 per month, while that at the
Sitting Bull mine alone at Galena, until
closed by litigation two or three years
ago, was about SAC, 900 per month.
Railroads are already projected from
Sturgis up Boulder creek a tributary Of
Bare Butte to Lead City, by way of
Deadwood and up Bare Butte creek
through Galena to connect with the
Homestake road which is already in OPP.
Grafton to about two miles above the last
named camp The dozens of rich silver
mines in theNvicinity Of Galena, which
from one cause or another are not worked
at this time, will make that camp in the
near future one of the richest silver
camps in the world, and as above shown,
the only practicable gate way for this as
well as the towns on the gold belt, is by
way of Sturgis.
Added to these advantages, Sturgis is
one and half miles west of Fort Meade,
a ten company post (six of cavalry and
four Of infantry J, which pours out about
forty thousand dollars monthly into the
lap of Sturgis. Besides, up to the time
that the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley road terminus left Long Pine,
Sturgis was the sole market for Spring
Creek, Lower Bare Butte, and the several
branches of the Elk Creek, and did more
business than any two towns in the Black
Hills, Lead City alone excepted. As
soon as her projected roads into the Hills
are completed, and the county seat of
Meade county (about to be voted upon)
is located there, Sturgis will resume her
former comparative Importance and
rapidly become the Denver of the Black
Hills country. Her population is now
thirteen hundred. And hereon hangs
tale. Eleven years ago about the goth
of next August the writer hereof sought
the camp of Gen. Samuel d. Sturgis
who has been friend for more than
thirty three years, at the foot of Bare
Butte mountain. on foot, with dollar
and half in his pocket, and proposed to
him the laying out of townsite near the

How to Check the Transfer Fraud.

To the Editor OF The EVENING STAR:
Referring to the subject Of preventing the
record Of fraudulent transfers Of real estate in
the District of Columbia, permit me to suggest
very simple and effectual check to such at
tempts Of frauds. The assessor of the District
having book of charts of real estate in the
District. compiled by wards or sections. has, we
say, the name of the rightful owner of each
lot, parcel or block of real estate entered in
lead pencil i'll the space enclosed by ink bound
airy lines of each lot shown on the charts. In
order to start Alright this entry Of owners
names on each lot or tract on the charts should
first be carefully proven to be that of the right
ful owners OF the property. The individual
entries OF owners names in the books of District
real estate charts being absolutely correct,
system should be adopted and rigidy adhered
to, requiring in every where a deed is
brought for record that the party desiring
record shall first present the deed to
the assessor. who will compare the name of
grantor and description of property as given in
said deed, with the name, location. size and
boundaries Of property conveyed, as shown in
his book OF charts, and also examine that deed
is properly executed and acknowledged,
(though simply comparison of name of owner
with name Of grantor in deed, and examination
that deed is properly executed, might answer
all purpose in order to save assessors time).
Upon satisfactory examination, the assessor
then stamps the deed with an official stamp,
grasses name Of previous owner and substitutes
on his chart in lead pencil. the name Of grantee
mentioned in the deed, and the party desiring
to record the deed now goes to the Office of the
recorder of deeds, who in turn should not
accept any deed for record unless it has first
been passed upon and stamped by the assessor.
In this way it would be impossible for
fraudulent transfer to pass on record and the
assessor, instead of depending upon the re-
corder for periodical transcript of fee deeds
from which to make up his tax books and
notices. would at all times have the authentic
material for this in his own office, where it
properly belongs.
The proposed change might cause little in
convenience to grantees of real property in
that they would be required first to submit
their deed to the assessor for his examination
and stamp, and then carry it to the recorder for
record, but the benefit to the owner and also
to the assessor would more than compensate
for such slight trouble TERRA.
