Something Of curiosity is on exhi-
bibition at Caspar. 1t is an imprint Of a
monstrous palm leaf, caused by the leaf
falling into clay and the clay afterwards
petrifying. The rock was afterwards

ages ago. when the big coal fields were
being formed. Wyoming possessed a

Judge Nowlin's Resigratlsn.

For long time it has beJe known
that Judge John w. Nowiin of the
seventh judicial district VAS about to
resign, because of failing health. After
Chauncey l.. Woods return from Hill
City last week the Mining News espous-
ing the candidacy Of Judge Bangs reviv-
ed interest in the matter. Mr. Wood con-
fided the exact situation to few friends
and il Is know beyond peradventure
that the astute democratic manipulator
who is now on his road to Pierre has in
his pocket the judges resignation, ac-
companied by two PACED letter favor
ing A. w. Bangs as his successor. VIM.
Gardner could get the entire support of
the Republican party, so could G w.
Brown and w. I. Coad, but none of
these want the appointment. S j.
Parsons has been prevailed upon TO
permit his name to be used and it is al.
most certain that the central committees
of the other counties will endorse any
candidate that Pennington may put up,
for they virtually concede the appoint
ment to Rapid City, so that Mr.. Parsons
who is the fittest available man here will
probably receive the undivided support
of Republicans.
Prominently mentioned among Demo
Gratis are the names of w. o. Temple,
A. w. Bangs and +. II. Clark. Locally
Mr.. Temple has strong following Mr..
Bangs is recommended by Judge Now
lin, so 1t is said, while Mr.. Clarke dsvel-
ops considerable strength too. Colonel
Steele, of Deadwood whose influence
was solicited for Mr.. Bangs, favors
some one else. Judge Nowlin, it is
stated, promised to resign conditionally
that Democrat be appointed in his
place. Rapid Republican, 4.

Prohibs are making it exceedingly
sultry for the saloonists Of Hot Springs,
having closed by injunction every place
where the ardent was known to be kept
on sale. Frank Frush and AL Dearduff,
two of the leading dispensers of contra
band concoctions, whose cases came up
fortrial before the police justice. were put
under bonds for their appearance before
the Circuit court. Numerous other cases
are pending, and there is no perceptible
weakening on the part of the prosecu-
ton. S. L. Wilson, the district attorney,
has rolled up his sanguinary sleeves,
and will wage war to the bitter end for
the enforcement of the law. Much in
terest is manifested in the movement
that is now going on, the citizens being
divided in their opinion as to the policy
Of the step taken.

Judge s. P. Romans returned to Dead
wood on Tuesday after sojourning few
days in this vicinity, where the Dead
wood Times AYERS he has been unfortu-
nate in the loss of all the sucking pigs of
his hog ranch, which is claimed, will re-
suit in the absence of roast pork upon
the occasion of the excursion of the
Black Hills Pioneers to this place in
June. The Times should have said
suckers, instead of sucking pigs, which
would have been nearer the mark, as
hog culture is not a prominent Custer
industry. No fears should be en-
tertained Of being short on pork how
ever, as she is expecting large invoice
of hogs from Deadwood about that time.

GOOD FOR CARTER.
He Proposes to Abolish Unnecessary and Irk-
some Requirements.

WASHINGTON, April H. Commissioner
Carter. of the general land office, is making
a special effort to materially expedite the
work of the local land offices throughout
the country. This is being done with II
view to the speedy disposition of all cases,
within the jurisdiction of the land depart
ment, which require only action Of the de-
partment to complete their final adjourn
ment. Increased facilities are being given
local officers and it is expected that by
June 30th next, with possibly th~eexception
OF two officers, all such cases will havebeen
sent to the general land office for final de-
termination. a very large number Of the
ca SEES now on file come within the provis-
ions OF the recent legislation by congress,
and these will he decided with all possible
haste consistent with accuracy. Commits
sioner Carter has already taken steps to
abolish many unnecessary and irksome re-
quirements which have hithert" been i'm
posed upon settlers under the public land
office and he intends to still further revise
the practice Of his office ia this direction in
the hope of assisting rather than thwarting
honest settlers in securing for themselves
homes. While the letter and spirit of the
laws will be strictly enforced, no unjust or
needless hindrances ill be permitted tode-
priye the settler of his full rights under the
laws.

A report comes in OF a big strike in the

trict is going to surprise the world before

The entire wool crop Of the United States
for 1890 was 1GO.O 900 pounds. The
shipments from Big Timber were l 600, 900

knowle in the case of the Northern Paei-

ing title to lands valued at over half a mil
lion within the city limits OF Helena. The
complaint OF the railroad is held insufficient
and relief is denied on the ground hat
claiming to possess what could be the only
legal title to the land they must also have
had possession before they could maintain
action. The railroad claimed the land as
part OF its land grant: Cannon, by virtue
of the United States patent issued ten
years ago. The decision virtually deter
mines the case in Cannon's favor.
A frightful scene was witnessed by "A few
people along the line Of the Northern Pa
eitic, between Foster and Laurel stations

that pulled out the Billings yards during

tanning the horses. Before the danger was
discovered the fire had gotten beyond con
troll, but the train crew uncoupled the ear
and made quick time with it to Laurel sta
tion, where a supply Of water could be had
IL was too late, however, to rescue any o.
the animals, a We one, and il will probably
