The Hog Must Go.

II is observed that Rapid City has

full Of all sources of epidemic disease,

it properly belongs, and its nauseating

pollute the ambient air.
Reasons for such action are numerous
and diverse, among which il is only nec-
essary to refer to their unquestioned
tendency to breed disease, which alone
is sufficient cause for their removal.
The dire effect resulting from this filthy
source is not only confined to Rapid
City, but is equally deadly in its effects
in this city, where TO our certain knowl-
edge a number Of pens, reeking in filth,
and rendering the municipal atmos-
phere blue with their siekening effluyia.

one thing that more than any other de-

advances. IL we cannot, for the time.

M Z. sss,s .. ss., =, @
Half a dozen clues were followed, with,
out success, and all hope of fixing guilt
on anyone was abandoned until a few
days ago, when a suspicious circum.
stance attracted attention TO one Gilbert
Lightfoot. who was then taking an Elk
horn train for sturgis Sturgis officials
in Lightfoot, keeping him Under strict
surveillance. IL was not long before
enough was learned to warrant his ar
rest night before last, by Chief OF Police
Cofery of Sturgis, and Deputy Sheriff
Apfeld of this county. While watching
Lightfoot, Apfeld, whose detectiye skill,
and energy, Johh Humphrey, OF the
Wide Awake, speaks in warmest praise,
had kept his eyes on Tex Johnson, John
Webber and man named Matthews, all
Of whom it was believed were also en-
gagged In the affair. These had started
Friday for Montana, in a wagon, and be-
hind four mule team owned by Mat
thews. Fearing the trio might cross
the line, despite the lateness Of the
hour II at night, Apfeld suggested TO
Humphrey that they proceed at once to
follow the game. They did so, finding
them camped within four miles OF
Spearfsh. watch was maintained
until morning when the three were ar
rested and brought to Deadwood by
Deputies Apfeld and Dotson. Later in
the day Chief Coffey Of Sturgis, came up
with Lightfoot. The men, Of course,
deny their guilt, but the facts seem TO be
against them. They were wearing artic.
les stolen from the Wide Awake the
night Of the raid, and all but one of the
bolts Of cloth then taken were found In
their possession. Examination will be
had before Justice Hall at l o'clock to-
morrow.--Deadwood Times.

A Startling Revelation Pending.

Our readers will remember STARTLING
account appearing in these columns Q
few weeks ago, Of the dicovery OF the
decapitated head Of young lady or
Hay Creek near Minnesota. The Star
of that place has taken upon itself the
task of solving the mystery surrounding
her sad fate. and in late issue reports
progress. We quote.
The Star will say to the Black Hills
people and to the outside world, that
the human head found near the farm OF
Mr.. J. w. Caldwell, OF Hay Creek valley,
is not the head of any women killed
within the past six years. 1t is not the
head OF Harriet Smith, of Custer ns OF
any other woman, who has nysteriG%
disappeared within the past year. Sfhs
S:ar knows whereof it speaks. and has
clues and testimony when put together
that will prove conclusively the guilt of
the murderer. The Hills will be supris-
ed and startled with the revelations that
will be made in this matter, as il effects
parties high in the social world, and also
influential and wealthy. The head Of
the beautiful but unfortunate girl il in the
direct charge Of the Star and one'of its
friends Of this place. No one has been
permitted to take il away from here nor
can anyone until this matter is fully
divulged by the perpetrators Of the
deed and their bodies given to expiate
the crime. In due time the Star will
give all the details connected with the
foul deed, which promises TO be one OF
the deepest laid that has come to light
for years.

CITY ELECTIONI

A notice appearing in this issue, an
nouncing an election TO be held in this
city on Monday, May 4tb, is probably
the first intimation that many Of our
citizens have had Of such an event being
contemplated. 1t may be safely said,
that no event Of corresponding import,
is so prosy and commonplace as our city
election. 1t is peculiar in the fact that
the struggle is confined to an effort on
the part of our citizens to escape nomi-
nation, which, as rule, is equivalent to
election.
There are abundant reasons at this
time, for the deepest interest in the
pending election. 1t is of the highest

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.

The fact that the new school law
makes no definite provisions for calling
an election for the purpose Of electing 6
school board, has set the people think
ing as to what method could be legally
adopted to bring about such election
1t is noted that no call has yet beer
made for such election at this place
which is probably due to uncertainty a,
to the proper method to adopt in the
matter. Ii is important that some ac-
ton be taken in this direction, and the
CHRONICLE comedies in the opinion oI
Attorney General Dollard as to the pro-
pIety of the election of being called by
the city council, from which opinion we
quote:
Regarding the call Of an election by
the city council and the electing of q
school board it eau be said that while
the Law does not make any such pro-
vision it would seem that it contem-
plated the calling of an election by the
city council. The simple calling Of an
election, or giving notice of an election,
is not however vital point. If an
election is held and the people of a city
or county express their opinion at the
polls the acts of the officials so elected
would be legal In the present instance,
even though the school law does not
specially provide for it, if the city coun-
Gil were to call an election, and the peo
pie were to elect a school board, not only
would the acts of the board SO elected
be valid but the board itself would be
perfectly legal" y
"The surest way is to have an election
and elect a school board. As said be-
fore the present board and officials are
swept out of existence by the new law.
If you do not have an election while the
acts of the acting board would be legal,
if no objection was made by anyone to
the board, the board itself would only
have its existence by the general ac-
quiescence of the people and an action
could be brought at any time to oust il.
But if the city council calls school
board election there can be no question
either as TO the validity Of the action Of
the board or Of the board of itself.
Therefore the best way would be to
elect school board.
