G. A. Greeley, Of Nashua, Iowa, and
one Of the largest capitalists of that
rich state, has been looking through
the Black Hills seeking safe invest
ment. After thoroughly examining
the several localities throughout the
Hills, he finally decided that there was
more money in Cascade property for
hlm than anywhere else he had been.
MIR. Greeley backed his Judgment by
investing $4,000 in Cascade property y
and before long he will realize hand
|somely on his investment.
DR.. A. Acwell, returned yester-
day evening from trip to the Black
Diamond coal mines, down on the
Cheyenne. He was called down there
on account of serious accident which
had befallen Sanford Barkdoll, one of
the mine owners. They had put in a
blast and for some unknown cause it
did not explode as soon as they
thought 1T should. MIR. Barkdoll went
i'll to see what was the matter, and
just reached the spot in time to receive
the full force of the shot. His left arm
was badly shattered, his side and head
burned and blown full of powder.
The doctor fixed up the badly injured
man, and he now rests as comfortably
as could be expected. DR.. Howell
while at the mines picked up some fine
specimens Of coal, which he brought
home with him. The vein, he says,
is S feet one inch thick, and from the
specimens any one could judge that
the coal is Of superior quality. Il is
bright. clean and of good weight. The
coal mine is undoubtedly bonanza to
the fortunate discoverer.
A meeting was held Wednesday eve-
ming at the pavilion to consider the
matter of the organization of fire de-
partment. j. w. Jones was made
president and H. d. Clarke, secretary.
Col. Dick Woods, who has had extern
sive experience in the matter of fire
department. was present and gave some
valuable pointers. We understand
that :. building has been offered the
company when one is organized. We
do not ls:ow where the building is to
he located. but unless a location is Sc
cured, whereby the whole town can be
benefited thereby, the STIR is opposed
to the city, as city, taking hold Of the
the matter. Private individuals, of
course, can equip fire company and
locate its headquarters wherever they
may chose, but when it comes to the
expenditure of public funds the gen.
eral public must have the benefit. Let
it be understood that the STAR is not
opposing the organization of a fire de-
partment. 1t has hitherto urged upon
our citizens the necessity of an organ
ization of this kind, but the benefits
must be distributed evenly. At the
meeting Wednesday night r. d. Nor
ton, Col. Thornby and A. NJ. Lyneman
were appointed an executive committee
From Saturdays Daily.
