Security for Cost.

CUSTER Cry, s. d., Sept. 10, 80.
ED. CHRONICLE AS there has been
considerable complaint in regard to the
costs the county has been put to unnec-
essarily for little petty law suits that
might have been prevented by the
justice court exercising his discretion !;
and as have been referred to as one
justice, who during the term of office,
made practice of taking care of the in
terest of county, and all concerned, by
demanding from the plaintiff, security
for costs, and attorneys openly deny
that there is any law for such ruling,
I beg leave TO submit the following Sec
ton GLAD Of the justice code of pro-
cedure, which reads as follows:
Sec. 6l4l. The justice, shall in all
cases. where p.antiff is nonresident Of
the territory, or foreign corporation, be-
fore issuing summons, require OF the
plaintiff sufficient surety for costs. The
surety must be resident Of the county.
His Obligation shall be complete by sim
ply indorsing the summons, or signing
Ills Oll Tic ub
costs. In all other cases the justice may
in his discretion, require surety for
costs.
Also GAL Of the criminal code OF
justice court, which after the complaint
has been made, reads as follows:
"If the justice of the peace is satisfied
therefrom that the offense complained OF
has been comitted, he must issue a war
rant of arrest" giving the form Of war
rant.
Now there is large majority of the
minor cases under this head that are
commenced purely for revenge, aud
think that every justice should take this
view, that in all cases that they have
full jurisdiction to try, they also have
jurisdiction of the costs, and where
the justice is not fully satisfied that the
offence complained of has been commit
ted, he should take security for the costs
and by establishing this rule through
out the county they would save many
malicious prosecutions as well as hun
dreds ofdollars unnecessary expense tc
the county.

Custer is attracting increased attention
as the railroad approaches the city.

were not marked By the presence ofany
considerable number of visitors, now
present scene Of life and activity
which indicates that the long expected
and greatly desired change is near at

now heard upon every hand, and the
firm belief is fully established that the
Pioneer city has passed the danger line,
emerged from the sea of chancery, and
that her future advancement upon the
the path Of commercial progress will be
rapid and permanent.
Tho mineral wealth that lies compar-
atively undisturbed in her immediate
vicinity, the delightful character Of
her matchless climate, the ex-
ceptional grandeur Of her mountain
scenery and her charming and picture
esque location are becoming themes
Of general remark. Steady advance
ment and unbroke1 progress is maintain.
ed in keeping with local requirements,
while it is gratifying to note that moth
ing approaching and unwarranted boom
has yet been experienced. Everything
considered, there is no town in the west
that offers better inducements for To-
cation and investment, than Custer, the
coming Tin City Of America.

Tin Protection.

The Rapid City Republican publishes
a special telegram recently received
from Senator Moody, announcing the
passage in the senate of the tin amend
ment to the Mckinley tariff bill fixing
a duty of four cents pound on raw tin.

fit to the Black Hills, which must
naturally result from the establishment
of such duty upon tin, Judge Daniel Nc
Laughlin, Of Deadwood, gentleman
thoroughly posted upon the tin, resources
of the Hills; and also familiar with the
mines of wales, which he has personally
visited and investigated, is quoted as

Railroad News.


Circumstances have been unfavorable
for track laying on the b. & NJ. during
the past week, but little headway hav-
ing been made. 1t is believed that the
track will reach section 80 this evening,
fourteen miles south of this place. The
grade between that point and this city
is practically complete, and it is ex-
pected that there will be no further
delay, and that the cars will be running
into Custer on or before October LIST. 1t
is now apparent that the grade between
Custer and Hill City will hold the track
at this place from two to four weeks.
The first train over the Hot Springs
branch Of the Elkhorn reached that
place last Monday. Regular trains are
now being run to that place, and the
people. as a matter of course, are greatly
pleased thereat. The fare to Buffalo
Gap is sixty six cents, marked reduc-
ton from the former stage rate, which
was one dollar and half. Now that t,,s
Elkhorn has been secured, it would be
wise move for Hot Springs to make an
effort to secure railroad connection with
the Tin City via. the B. & Nj. and
Bradley Flat.
A collision occurred on the Home
stake railroad last Sunday while round
ing sharp curve, near Crystal Cave,
the two engines coming together with
force sufficient to throw the
forward trucks of both locomotives
from the rails and to cause the violent
shaking up of eleven passengers on
board at the time, but without serious
results. DR.. d. w. Flick and wife, of
Rapid City were among the passengers.
Of whom were badly shaken up. the
former, jumping from the train prior
to the collision, would have Jared better

The accident was occasioned by the
north bound train being delayed by =

of the down train at and unfavorable
point, where the trains could not be seen
on hundred feet ahead.

The Hills Democrat, seven column
folio, with patent exterior, published at
this place by the Democrat Publishing
company, and edited by Isaac ]. Will
liams, late of Pierre, this state, was
launched upon the cold and checkered
sea of journalism on Thursday. AS its
name indicates, it is democratic, and as
its published declarations imply, it is
intensely 80. While 1t strictly ignores
the slightest reference to the boundless
resources and exceptional advantages
by which Custer is so highly favored,
the editor takes occasion to cast the
vilest slurs upon one Of the most faithful
and untiring workers in the cause of
Clusters material progress that this
place has ever had. We refer to the
Hon. G. C. Moody, whose persistent
efforts in the senate in behalf of tin
protection, an issue of the most para
mount importance to this place, and to
the country at large, entities him to the
highest need Of praise, rather than per-
sonal abuse from his constituents, and
more especially from those residing
within the limits of the tin districts.
The CHRONICLE recognizes ability in the
Democrat sufficient to materially aid in
the advancement Of Clusters interests, IL
properly directed, but confesses its dis
appointment in noting the absence OF
any mention whatever in its columns of
the numerous and varied advantages
which the place is known to possess,
which strikes us as being a new and
unwise departure In western journalism
for which there can be no valid or
justifiable excuse. The CHRONICLE con.
cedes the right OF the Democrat TO
proclaim its political predictions, and
set itself up as the organ of its party in
the entire Black Hills, or of the nation
il it so wills, and will enter no com
plant in that direction SO long as the
discussion Of the same is not indulxcd
to the exclusion of local matters peTti
nent to the material interest Of this
place and its surroundings. 1t was ex-
pected and earnestly Desired that the
Democrat would unite with the CHRoN-
IcLE in battling for the interests of Gus
ter, in addition to fulfilling the prime
object Of its mission. the enlightenment
Of the dear people upon the important
political issues of the period. Will the
Democrat unite

Mining Items
Az AsroNtaupn wyprD1


Charles +. Miles, a bonanza miner
from Marquette, Mich, was in Sioux
City Thursday, says the Journal, on his
way home from Black Hills, where he
has been quietly investigating the
mineral deposits of that region. Mr..
Miles is practical miner and owes his
present competence to his good judg-
ment as prospecter. He has visited
during the past three or four weeks all
the leading mines in the Hills, and after
careful examination of the ores found
there, he is ofthe opinion that there are
deposits of the base metals that will not
be exhausted by the present generation,
nor the next.
What astonished him most was the
great variety Of ores more or less COM
monty found even at the surface. He
had been proud of the northern penin.

he came to compare the copper and
iron and spare gold of the Lake
Superior region with the infinitely vari
ed ores of the Black Hills he was forced
to yield the palm to the latter as natur.
al museum.
On the tin question he said he was not
able to give an intelligent opinion. He
knew that there was tin there, for he
had seen 1t; but never having nude q
special study OF the metal he could form
no estimate Of the probable extent or
richness OF the deposit. "But," said he
"there are men out there who are back
ing their belief with good deal of
money!" and he did not doubt that they
would get it back all right. "One thing
is sure, il they have it in the quantities
they anticipate. it Is as good as gold"
Like the Lake Superior region, Mr..
Miles says, the Black Hills mining is
yet only prophesy Of what it will be

have been built and more machinery
employed. Times.

The Atlanta Constitution paid high
compliment to the republican party,
however unintentional il may have
been, when it said in a recent issue:
''rhis will be year of jubilee in the
south. Never in the history of the
country has she been blessed with more
abundant crops, and never since the
war have farmers of this section been so
nearly free from debt. Coupled with
this, the great developments which have
put spindles to whirring in the cotton
fields, made Alabama the third state
in pig iron production, and filed the
land with life and hope-all these happy
circumstances combined with the free
flow of currency, enlarged by the pass
age of the silver bill, fill the land with
tidings of comfort and JOY" The "com-
fort and 10Y" is due TO the repsblics,si
policy OF protection, which put the
whirring spindles in motion, and to the
passage of the silver bill under repub-
lican administration.

displeased with something they find in q

somebody that has just as much interest

availing in attempts to arrest the
plague, the people have been at n loss
what to do. Finally an inventive
young man arranged a trap which has
proved highly effective in some cases.
He first spent some time in fixing up
an artistic wire moose, and this he ar
ranged over a pulley in TIC shed just
back Of his house.
1t was SO arranged that a cat pok.
ing his head through the moose would
spring the trap, and ten pound dumb
bell on the other end Of the wire would
descend and jerk the offending feline
up toward the roof. In a day or so
the remains of the animal would be re-
moved. AT first it was difficult to get
the truant cats TO poke their heads
through the deadly moose, but a lady
who lived next door. and was in sym
pathy with the movement, furnished
u little catnip, and this was s~prinkled
about the trap. 1t was great bait, and
already eight cats have climbed the
golden stair via the deadly wire route.
