They All Hedge.

The Deadwood Times, commenting on
an article appearing in the Newcastle
Alert, in which that paper expressed
the strongest confidence in the building
Of the b. & M. branch direct from that
place to Deadwood, and not from the
Cheyenne crossing via Custer, wisely
says:
The argument in the abstract is good,
but the Alert loses sight of the fact that
If the Harney Peak Tin district ever
amounts to anything as a producer, a
very large city will be established at
Custer and very desirable carrying
trade will develop throughout the dis
trict. In railroad building, the future
must be discounted.
7 The CuRoSIcLE, for more than year,
the only paper in the Hills to openly
assert its belief in the final building of
this branch from the Cheyenne river to
the northern Hills, via Custer, has had
the sublime satisfaction OF seeing them
tumble" one by one, until there is not
one left clinging to the baseless belief,
that the b. & VI. Railroad company will
ever be guilty of making mistake so
vital in its consequences as ignoring the
great tin belt OF the Southern Hills
would be. 1t is very gratifying to know
that hereafter Custer will be associated
with whatever mention may be made of
this important branch by our esteemed
Black Hills contemporaries.

Hear Him.

The Chronicle man is a dandy. He
scores the Crawford Clipper for nip
ping" CHRONICLE item without giving
credit, and in the same issue garbles
two items from the Miner and publishes
them with his own brand. At this rate
he will soon have established reputa-
tton for originality and consistency that
will be worth fortune TO him.-Hill
City Tin Miner (Hare's).
We do not covet the reputation for
originality and consistency" such as
the successful filching of original items
from the Miner would give; failing, al
we do, to see how, by any possibility, il
could result in our realizing q fortune
thereby. The Miner man will be &C.
credited with a marked degree of origin,
ality in the course pursued in the
matter of duplicating the title of another
paper, in giving his name, but beyond
that he will never reach a standard o.
originality, to say nothing of consistency
that will justify the claim made in the
last paragraph of the article above repro
duced.

Newspaper Men Indicted.

The grand jury for Lawrence county
has returned indictments against Free
man Knowles, OF Mead County Times,
and T. ID. Edwards. of the Lead City
Tribune. Both gentlemen are charged
with having libeled ID. A. Mcpherson OF
Deadwood, and are accused of criminal
libel. The libel consists Of printing GER
tain articles rejecting upon the honesty
of Mr.. Mcpherson while acting as chair
man Of the board of county commission
ers. Mr.. Edwards was placed under ar
rest at Lead City yesterday afternoon.
He gave bonds for his appearance. Mr..
Knowles has not yet been arrested, but
will be to-day, so IL is said. The case
will be watched with interest, as both
defendants are well known in the Black
Hills, Attorneys Moore, Plowman,
Church and Bennett have been retain
ed to look after the Tribune's interests,
and doubtless Mr.. Knowles will engage
equally able counsel. The case will be
called next Friday at ten a. m.-Journal

Dudley Dots.

Dudley is the name of the new town
at the old 7 o T cattle ranch on the
Cheyenne river, where the Custer
branch of the b. & NJ. railroad survey
connects with the main line, and as
anything concerning that place, with
which we are soon to be connected by
rail, will be Of interest to our local
readers. We reproduce the following,
taken from recent letter to the New
castle Journal:
OF course We expect great things. We
expect division; We expect q branch
to the tin mines and to Lead City, and
we expect boom that will eclipse all
other booms that have occurred during
the nineteenth century. There is plen-
ty Of chance for a boom here without
any fear of opposition. We have all our
rods up and are ready to be struck at
anv moment. We have party of rail-
road surveyors between here and Gus
ter, we have party Of government sur
veyors sectionizirg between here and
Hot Springs, and We also hare a party OF
eastern capitalists gobbling up the
country as fast as 1t is sectionized. We
have a beautiful location for a city, il
you please, with highly moral element
surrounding it, and the prohibition
racket in its incipient stages. We have
a church house and school house COM
bined with q literary society that cannot
be excelled. One of our prominent
citizens, however, at the last meeting
refused to speak his piece because Red
had learned him nothing, and another
one came into town on the hind end OF
an elephant proclaiming herd law. We
have plenty Of soft water to drink, with
q scarcity Of sickness and a surplus OF
doctors. Our transfers Of dirt for filthy
lucre have been satisfactory, and our
nabobs are now reveling in wealth.
The one longing, lasting desire Of our
lives has however been denied US, and
that the worlds fair has been located at
Chicago, had we obtained this we would
undoubtedly have obtained the ultima
thule ofall earthly bliss.

A Pierre special notes a recent at
tempt on the part Of Hon. S. L. Hess, OF
Flandrau, a representative Of Moody
ounty in the state legislature, to COM
NIT suicide by laking strychnine. 1t
appears that Mr.. Hess, who has the re-
putation of being a good speaker and
debater, and man Of marked intel
ligence and hitherto unsullied reputa-
ton, became strangely enamored with Q
red haired, cross-eyed cyprian of that
city, and that upon her refusal to ac-
company him home at the close of the
session, he became wild with rage, and
in drunken frenzy took the poison.
Physicians were summoned who worked
all night over the sick man, finally sue
ceeding in reviving him, and getting
him in fair for recovery. Hess has q
wife and three children at Flandrau,
and his sense Of romorse over his deep
disgrace with his constituents, his family
and friends is of the most intense char
acter.

Weston County.

The bill creating the county of Wes-
ton has passed both branches of the
Wyoming legislature, has been signed
by the governor, and Is now q law. The
territory embraced in the new county
was taken from Crook county, being that
portion lying south Of the twelfth
standard parallel. Newcastle is the
business center and county seat of the
new county. which now has an assessed
valuation Of nearly two million dollars,
which Is rapidly being increased. Re-
ferring to the situation as 1t was prior to

At present IL is necessary for the peo-
ple of this region to perform long and

The Minneapolis Tribune has the fol-
lowing, commendatory of South Dakotas
first legislative assembly: "The legis-
lature of South Dakota adjourned yester-
day after session of hard, useful work.
1t has made an excellent record. There
have been no legislative scandals at
Pierre to disgrace the fair name Of the
new state. The spirited fight over q
cause of the prohibition law was good
natured and well intentioned on all sides.
1t furnished an element of wholesome
excitement, but left no heart burnings
behind. Upon their assembling, the
solons knew that they had great deal
of work before them, and set about TO
do it. They have reason 10 be satisfied
with what they have accomplished.
The people Of South Dakota may well
feel proud Of the record of the first legis-
lature of the state. Compared with the
legislatures of Washington, Montana and
North Dakta it-but no, a comparison
would be out Of place.

The Hot Springs Star reports the or
ganization of a large company at that
place for the improvement of the town.
II OF Springs at no distant day will be
the Manitou of Dakota, as it is fast
growing in popular favor with health
and pleasure seekers. IL will need an
aggregation of capital to furnish accom-
mediation to keep pace with the fast in
creasing demand. And when the branch
is built from the Newcastle extension OF
the b. & NJ. to the Springs the trade
will double, besides placing the popular
resort in close connection with New
castle.-Newcastle Alert.
Will the Alert never tumble to the
fact, that the Hills branch contemplated
from the Newcastle extension Of the
B. 4 NJ" does not touch Hot Springs al
all, a fact which is deeply regretted by
the CHRONICLE and the people Of Custer
at large.

earned their per diem and mileage, to
say nothing about the four hours over

effecting the final passage of the appro-
priation bill. We are therefore dis
posed to give the legislature credit for
having done remarkably well for body
of such cumbersome proportions. and
until we are better informed, shall enter
it up in our history as the ablest and

Sioux reservation is attracting the atten-
ton of thousands of people in Canada as
we'll as in the United States. Inform
alton was received here this evening

tions TO leave for the reservation, where
they intend securing claims in the

Pierre papers contain much favorable
comment upon the late session of the
South Dakota legislature. The Capital
has the following: "It has been a ses
sion Of sixty days hard work. The
members Of both houses have acquitted
themselves like statesmen and many
leave with we'll earned regulations.
Our state has reason TO be proud of the
work done by the lawmakers. The best
Of feeling has characterized the work OF
the entire period and especially the
closing scenes. No factions have been
formed. This may strictly be called
non partisan Legislature. The work
has been done, the farewells exchanged
and the members haye gone to their
several homes. The full extent and
real merit of their work remains yet TO
be seen. We doubt if more moral, in
telligent, hard working, cultured legis-
lature ever assembled in any state than
the one that has just adjourned. The
general criticism of the press, when any
has been offered, has referred to the ex-
pediency of certain laws rather than to
corrupt schemes or private character.
The Capital has criticised some mea-
sures and commended others. No
doubt in some of our statements we have
been mistaken but we have this conso-
Iation that they were actuated by honest
motives. Very likely in some instances
we failed TO peer into the future as far
as some of the sagacious statesmen,
hence some Of the bills we criticised
may prove Of untold benefit to the state,
but on the other hand some of the most
popular laws MAJ turn out complete
failures. This legislature should re-
ceive credit for honest industry and
economy. 1t should be said to their
honor that they have done what they
considered vas for the best interest of
the state and that they have earned the
name and deserve the respect Of true
statesmen.

The Deadwood Times furnishes its
patrons, as supplement to its issue OF
the 9th inst, the full text of South Da-
kota's prohibitory law, which, with the
exception of the introduction of the
word "Secramental," does not differ
materially with the bill as originally in
troduced in the legislature. The penal
ties have been to some extent reduced,
as shown in section one, which is as
follows:
Any person, association or corpora
tion, who shall within this state, directly
or indirectly, manufacture any spiritu-
ons, malt, vinous, fermented or other
intoxicating liquor, or shall import any
of the same for sale, or barter as bever-

intoxicating liquors, as beverage, shall
for the first offense be deemed guilty OF
a misdemeanor. and upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined in any sum not
less than 500 nor more than $500, and
be imprisoned in the county Jail not less
than sixty days nor more than six
months, and trial and conviction in any
court shall constitute the first offense
and for the second and every successive
offense, shall be deemed guilty Of a
felony, and be punished by imprison.
