Mining Suit Ended.

The owners of the Spokane mine and
those of the Harrison lode yesterday
settled their differences on the conflict
ing ground by passing deeds. The Har-
rison claim was located several years
ago and had the prior location, but no
development work was done on it and
that OF the Spokane mine was made
recently. The lines crossed and the
mines conflicted each location situated
a good deal like the letter Y. and mat
ters had been shaped for a long and ex-
pensive litigation oyer the title to the
ground. Yesterday the attorneys in the
case, James w. Fowler for the Harrison
claim, and Chauncey l.. Wood for the
Spokane, got the owners together and
an agreement was signed fixing the
boundaries, and after survey is made to
definitely fix the lines deeds will be
passed and the suit instituted to quiet
the title will be dismissed. This will
be good news TO the silver camp and
will end what at one time promised to
be long drawn out legal battle.-Rapid

B, z. Wilson Withdraws.

The following letter, which reached
this office on Wednesday with the re-
quest that it should be given publicity
through the columns of the CHRONICLE,
explains itself:
To the members Of the legal profess
sion of the Seventh Judicial Circuit
South Dakota.
GENTLEMEN 1T seems quite probable
now that vacancy is soon to occur in
the judgeship of this circuit. / desire
to express my sincere regret that the
necessity seems to exist which compels
our highly esteemed Judge Nowin to
resign the position he has so signally
honored during his short incumbency
on the bench. Much interest has been
manifested throughout the circuit as to
the gentleman upon whom the judicial
ermine would most gracefully fall. My
name among others has been presented
TO the Governor, supported by the en-
tire membership of the bars of Fall
River and Custer counties, and likewise
by nine members of the Pennington
county bar. II was constantly against
my judgement to consent tina. this
should be done, and am obliged at this
time to most respectfully ask my friends
not to further urge my claims as a can
didate for the judgeship, feeling that
should l receive the appointment
could not, owing to the present situation
OF my business affairs, accept it,
Extending my sincere thanks to you
gentlemen who have so warmly and
disinterestedly supported my candidadr.
and acknowledging the obligation undt.,
which you have placed me for yoi,f
hearty endorsement, 1 must beg now, TO
withdraw my name from the list off n
didates. Yours very truly, o.

A Double Deal.

Chris Jensen is now running line of
free coaches from Hot Springs to the
Wind Cave. The following from the
Deadwood Times shows how he is en-
abled to do it at profit Jensen has
lately been running line of stages be-
tween Hot Springs and Cascade. Petit
Bros. have been operating an opposi-
ton line between the same places.
Fred T. Evans, more largely interested
than.any one else in the growth and pros
perity of Hot Springs, and perhaps jeal-
Gus of the travel to Cascade, approach
ed Jensen few days since and enquir-
ed how much he would take to 0iscon-
tinue his stages to Cascade, and operate
them to some other point not named.
"Two hundred and fifty dollars a
month, promptly replied Jensen. "All-
right" responded Fred, you hereafter
carry passengers from Hot Springs to
Wind Caye and back free of charge" !"
1t was snap for Jensen and the con-
tract was signed.
Half an hour later Jensen walked into
Pettits livery establishment and skill
fully leading coyersation up to the point
desired, finally enquired of Petit how
much he would give to have the Jensen
stages pulled off the Cascade route.
Three hundred dollars" replied Pet
tit. "Done. its bargain" answered
Jensen; "I'll quit, and pocketing the
three hundred dollars he went out to
get coach ready to take q load to Wind
Cave"

EEK. DON'T FORGET TO READ AND SEE WHAT 1T Is

AS usual, the crude faberist Of the
Hill City Miner, in his reply (?) to our
article appearing under the caption of
"A Single String" aims his deadly (2)
shaft at us, and thus fails entirely to hit
the question at issue. Our adjectiies
have been a constant source of annoy
ance to him, and he seemed determined
that we shall scale them down to the
level of his understanding. This latest
effort Of the Miner to make an intelli-
gent reply to US, is by all odds the most
sickly failure he has yet made, which,
after distorting, garbling and omifting
all of the salient features of our article,
succeeds only In exciting the pity 81 Ais
readers, for his evident and unmistaka-
BILE failure to be either funny or sensible.
His utter imbeciity, aggravated, doubt
less, by his protracted residence at Hill
City, is becoming pitiable. and, sorry for
having given him any attention IN the
past, we will, in the future, treat his
silly and senseless mutterings as we
would the incongruous jabbers of Hill
City inebriate, i. g. permit it to pass un-
noticed.

William j. Saulter, a plumber of Rapid
City, while laboring under fit of jeal-
ousy on Sunday last, visited the resid-
ence of c. +. Wheeler, where his wife
was visiting with her parents, and began
quarreling with her for being too inti-
mate with another man on the day pre-
vious. Angry words were exchanged for
a few moments, when saulter pulling
heavy Colts revolver from his pocket,
fred two shots at his wife, both of which
took effect, one bullet entering her side
aboye the right hip, passing through
and striking her right elbow fracturing
the bone; the other passing through the
fieshy part of her thigh. Believing the
shots to be fatal, Saultry deliberately
put the revolver to his right temple,
discharged it, and fell dead upon the
spot where he stood when he fired the
preceding shots. Mrs. Saulter's wounds
are not considered dangerous and it is
believed that she will speedily recover.

A Delightful Excursion.

The excursion over the B. & M. from
Hot Springs to Custer on Thursday,
planned and conducted under the special
supervision of Mr.. S. ID. Cook, OF Sioux
City, was greatly enjoyed by all who
participated in the pleasures incident to
the occasion. The party, numbering be-
tween fifty and sixty, arrived at 9:15 a.
m, and were welcomed at the depot by
large number of citizens, and the Gus
ter Cornet band, the members of which
deserve especial credit for their prompt
response to the brief notice of fifteen
minutes given them in which to make
their preparations. After being shown
to their hotels, where brief breathing
spell was taken, the exursionists were
driven In carriages to the various points
of interest in the vicinity. They all re-
turned highly delighted with the drive
and the exceptional grandeur of Clusters
native scenery. After dinner they were
driven to other points more distant, re-
turning in the evening more than ever
pleased with the city's delightful sur
roundings. In accordance with a pre-.
yious arrangement. the entire party de-
parted in carriages for Custer lake, at s
o'clock on the following friday morn
ing where grand picnic, in the moss
carpeted park was most enjoyable
feature. The day was wholly devoted
to pleasing ramble at, and in the vicin-
ity of the lake, where the scenery is
beautiful and grand beyond description,
the party barely returning in time to
take the o'clock train for home, the
limit OF the time allowed having expir-
ed. The excursion will be remembered
by all participants as being replete with
the most delightful and pleasing features,
and it goes without saying that all were
more than pleased with their visit to the
Eden city, and will come again. Follow.

Costly Costs.

The legal battle to fix costs between
the attorneys in the the recently settled
case .of Holden vs.. Street, in which Mr..
VanCise moved that under the statutes
of the United States when party to an
action receives judgment for a sum of
less than $500 he must pay his own
costs, and it is within the discretion Of
the court to tax or refuse to tax costs of
opposing litigant to him as we'll, and
which Mr.. Martin strenuously opposed.
was settled yesterday morning by the
Judge overruling the motion of Mr.. Van
Cise and ruled that each litigant should
bear his own costs. The total amount OF
costs in the case are somewhere be-
tween 81 800 and 5000. a rather expen-
sive litigation.

The Van Amburgh Show.

The great Van Amburgh show, or at
least goodly portion of it arrived at
this place on Sunday evening, the great
er part transported by wagons, and the
balance by rail. While it may not be
considered q first classs how OF
its kind, there were number of meritor-
ious features that served to make up for
deficiencies in other directions. The
ring performance would compare favor
ably with the average circus of the
period, while the menagerielwas especial
ly and we may say painfully conspicu-
Gus for the absence OF animal specimens.
The audience was large, and while the
admission was full round dollar, the
large crowd, among whom were many
who had never before witnessed an ex-
hibition of this kind, appeared well
satisfied with their investment, and
highly pleased with the wonderful
sights exhibited to their admiring gaze.
The total receipts of the big show at
this place is estimated at $1,000, while
the amount Of money spent in the city
by those connected with the show,
amounted to about $500 which leaves a
margin ON the wrong side of the Custer
ledger of thousand dollars. which
after all is but trifle, divided as it is
between so many well to do citizens.

The Buffalo Gap Republican in speak
ing of that town as a health resort says :
"The extreme healthfulness Of this re-
gion may seem incredulous, yet it is q
fact nevertheless" This must be ow-
ing to the "air of incredulity". We often
hear spoken of.-Hot Springs Hatchet.
Speaking Of air Of extreme healthfnl-
ness, reminds us of the fact, incredible
as it may appear, that Custer air is the
most healthful to be found anywhere on
earth. 1t is not an ''air of incredulity''
either, and no body has ever intimated
that our extreme healthfulness was ''in-
credulous," whatever that may mean.
