Within the past week the Northern
Hills have bccn tho Dccne ortwo TRACE
dies, resulting in the death Of three
men. Sunday last, Geo. Goody, a young
men residing near Sturgis, went to visit
q young lady to whom he had been
paying attention for some time. The
ladies farther. l.. Wood, objected to
6oody's presence and ordered him
away. The young man refused to leave,
and was shot by Wood. who was armed
with a shot gun. Although MORALLY
wounded, Goody pulled his revolver
and shot his W murderer. Both incl
were dead within two hours from the
time the shooting occurred. Wood had
the reputation of being a surly, quarrel
some man, while Goody, though rather
fast. was well liked. The other tragedy
occurred near tnglewood, on the B. &
NJ, Monday night, when Harry Trent
shot and killed Dell Mars. Trent and
another young man named Clark were
cutting aud hauling wood for the Home
stake company, and the road which
they using led past the ranch of
the Mars Bros. Once or twice Trent
and Clark found the road obstructed
with brush and had some words with
the Mars boys about il. Monday even
ing they we're ambushed by Ave men,
two of whom were Dell Marrs and his
brother. Four horses belonging to the
wood choppers were killed, but the men
themselves escaped with mi ortwo SLIGHT
wounds. Later on Trent met Dell Mars
and both men pulled their guns. Trent
was the quickest and killed his man at
the first shot. 1t ~ generally consider
| ed q clear case Of self defense, but as the
Mars outfit are desperate o trouble
J may follow.

A party of excursionists, numbering
about forty came up from the Springs
Wednesday morning and spent the day
in Custer and at the lake. They were
met at the depot by the Custer Cornet
band, and soon after their arrival most
Of them were on their way to Sunday
Gnlch. There, a picnic dinner, boating
and mountain climbing occupied their
attention until time TO return. All were
loud in their praises of Custer, and her
environments, and the beautiful lake,
hanging rock, and the natural bust Of
Washington, were especially admired
and wondered at. Most of the party
returned home on the evening train,
but a number enchanted with our little
city remained over for a few days.

Reports of scorching days and sultry
nights, with sun strokes and other con-
sequent physical troubles are daily re-
ceived from all parts of the country,
while We so fortunately located are
tempted TO grumble if at midday the
mercury disports itself in the vicinity of
800. II only the world could know
more Of our climatic blessings, our beau.
tiful days. with balmy breezcs, when
every breath of pure mountain air is an
inspiration, the cool evenings and al
most chilly nights when wrapped in the
arms of Morpheus, the brain recreates,
and the body recuperates, then indeed
would our town be over crowded with
those who seek health and rest. And
the world will know. Each year our
fame goes further abroad. Each year
adds many to the lists Of our visitors.

Odo Reder Of Custer, n Of the most
prominent lumber dealers in tht South
ern Hills, was n visitor in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Reder Is enthusiastic
over the prospects of Custer. He says
that the city has positive assurance Of
becoming n Of the greatest mining
centers Of the Hills. Capitalists who
have been attracted thither by her
mineral wealth. are investing large
sums of money in development work
and several mills for the reduction Of
ores are to be erected shortly. This
together with her nearby tin mines,
which will soon be in continuous oper-
alton, giving employment to hundreds
Of men. As a health resort Mr.. Reder
says Custer can't be beat. The artificial
lake recently constructed in one of the
most picturesque canyons Of the Hills,
has been completed and affords ex-
cellent facilities for boating and bath
ing. A hotel win be erected near the
lake rs Dol as possible, where tourists
can spend their time while visiting the
picturesque canyon and natural park

The representatives of the Goodland
Rain Company, concluded their tests at
Hermosa last Tuesday morning, and a
variety Of opinions are expressed as to
the success of the experiments. There
is no doubt that on several occasions,
while the rain makers were operating.
heavy storm clouds gathered as the
result of their efforts, and some rain fell
at Rapid City, Hermosa, and Hot
Springs, but the greatest precipitation
was only about three-fonrths of an inch,
and the operators themselves admit
their disappointment. Mr.. Morris, the
manager, attributes his i'll success to the
altitude and the fact that the gathering
clouds were broken by Harvey Peak
and other mountains. The experiments
will doubtless be repeated at Belle
Fourch. and in N or two other points
in the Hills.
