OBITUARY,

It becomes the painful duty this week
for the ADVERTISER to announce the
death of Joseph Nesbett, which sad
event occurred at about l o'clock Sunday
afternoon at the residence of DR.. Cheney,
from pneumonia. Mr.. Nesbett had been
suffering with severe cold for some
time, but was not confined to his bed
until the Sunday previous to his death.
The deceased came to the Hills in
1877, and for the past eight years re-
sided in Sturgis, where he was loved and
respected by everyone who knew him.
He was of quiet disposition, though
Away pleasant and ready to help friend
or acquaintance. His most intimate as
sociates know but little of his private af-
fairs, and no trace of the whereabouts of
his relatives can be found among his pa
pers.
Mr.. Nesbett served two enlistments in
the war with Pennsylvania regiments,
and his record as soldier was no doubt
as pure and noble as was his life the
many years he lived in Sturgis. He was
about At years of age, never married
He was a man in all the word implies.
The best evidence of the high esteem
in which the deceased was held is the
fact that, although not relative in the
country, kind friends, both women and
men, did all they possibly could to ALE
viate his sufferings,5 and after dissolution
his remainszwese followed to their last
resting place, Monday afternoon, in
Bare Butte cemetery, by a large con-
course of tzue loving friends, including
the G. A. r. post, though the deceased
was not a member of that body. Rev.
Mr.. Nelson ofticiated, and paid a worthy
tribute to the departed soldier and hon
Ored citizen.

BLACK HILLS PROSPECTING co.

An Organization TO Sink Artesian wells.
Bore for Coal. Gas. OIL. Etc.
The Black Hills Prospecting company
is stock concern recently organized and
incorporated under the state laws, with
q capital Of $4,000 The purposes for
which this company is organized. as set
forth in article two of the articles of in
cooperation, are as follows;
The purposes for which this company
is organized are: To sink artesian wells,
gas wells, oil wells; to prospect for
water, gas and oil as also for coal and
all other minerals; to transact and con-
duct the business of operating such wells
and developing such minerals, in such
manner and to such extent as the board
OF directors may at any time determine
upon; to buy and sell real and person
al property, and to exercise generally
and incidentally, all such powers relat-
ing to the subject matter as an individ-
ual might or could exercise in the tran
saction of such business.
The officers are: s. Ell. Martin, presi-
dent; Bland Herring, vice president, and
]. J. Davenport, secretary and treasurer.
This is an enterprise that should meet
with liberal encouragement for when the
fact is once established that an artesian
flow is possible here the question of
successful crop growing will no longer
be doubtful one. We have the climate
and soil, and plenty of water in subter-
ranean channel Now aid this laudable
undertaking by helping to bring the
water to the surface. At the same time
gas or coal may be encountered. Give
the wheel turn and the auger a twist.

were gone for third of their value, and
then came the crash, and such would in
evitably be the result here under SIM
liar provision of the government loaning
the public moneys TO individuals and
taking security upon the land. It is
possible that here it might become even
very much worse, for everyone would
want loan, the resources of the govern
ment would be taxed to their utmost to
supply the demands for loans, people OF
means would refuse to pay tax to pro-
vide for such use Of the public moneys
then disaster would follow such policy.
The present condition of affairs in the
Argentine Republic well illustrates the
effects of such a policy. Let the advo-
Gates Of such a system beware of what
they are doing before they continue to
repeat their demand of the loan of the
government money and credit on the in
dividual's and.-Times.

Good Work.

VIM. Watkins, jr., special agent of the
postal service, was in Sturgis Saturday
attending to his official duties. His
mission here was to see Mr.. Francis, who
has proven himself quite valuable as
sistant in bringing train robbers to JUS
tic. 1t will be remembered that on the
7th of june last mail train on the
Northern Pacific was held up by two
men and the mails rihed, and $4,000
stolen. A posse caught one of the men
four days, after the robbery, by reason of
his horse getting hurt. Photographs OF
the man was sent over the country and
one of them fell into the hands of Post
master Chase, which was at once recog-
nized as that of an individual who had a
few weeks before received mail through
the Sturgis Office, and thinking Mr..
Francis may have seen the party, showed
him the photograph. Mr.. F. remarked
"Why, sold that fellow horse two or
three weeks ago." From this informa-
ton Mr.. Francis was summoned to Far
go to identify the prisoner, which he did.
The party proved to be a young man
named @. E. Bailey that had been work
ing for COW outfits north of the Hills.
With this clue they got trace of the
other man, who was arrested few days
ago, by Mr.. Watkins, at his home in
Virginia, where he was to have been
married today. His name is Newbury.
Bailey is in the pen and his partner will
be sent up as soon as his trial comes off
Both men are highly connected and
spent two or three days in Sturgis about
the middle of May.
Mr.. Watkins gives Mr.. Francis the en-
tire credit for the speedy success he had
in bringing these desperate men to JUS
tice.

Contests.

Buderus has instituted proceedings to
prevent o. w. Jewett from taking his
seat as judge of Meade county. He al
leges that Mr.. Jewett is not learned in
the law, point, certainly, which Buder-
us is not qualified to pass upon. If he
would turn his his attention to the study
of law instead OF general cussedness, his
time would be more profitable spent
both for himself and the community.
The only thing Buderus will accomplish
in trying to deprive Jewett from filing
the position to which he was duly and
honorably elected by large plurality,
will be to put him to an un-
necessary expense in defending himself
against charges made by this disreputable
shyster. Jewett will be judge-and Blu
derus probably will fry other fish before
he grows many moons older.
And now comes one Michael Mcmahon,
an alleged lawyer, contesting the cleo
ton of Alex Mccall, states attorney
elect, on the grounds that Mr.. Mccall
is not qualified to perform the functions
of that Office, although the verdict of the
people was to the effect that he was quail
fled to the extent of plurality of 202
votes over the contestant. Mcmahon
doubtless believes that if he should sue
coed in thwarthing the will of the people
by knocking Mr.. Mccall out, he would
fall heir to the honor and emoluments of
the Office and which would perhaps
soothe his lacerated feelings caused by an
overwhelming defeat at the polls and the
indictment found against him last spring
for embezzlement. Although acquitted,
the result of the returns in his
home precinct shows the conf
dence his neighbors have in him-29
votes out of BAL cast. The ADvRRT1sER
voices the popular sentiment in this COM
munity when it says Mcmahon should
have been disbarred long ago for his Pc
culiar ways Of doing business.
