The sheriff of Pennington county has
a new method of settling criminal act
ions, to save expense for the county.
Three weeks ago two beligerant indi-
viduals quarrelled, and one shot at the
other. Both were arrested and placed
in a cell together. They have since
wrangled constantly, and Wednesday
the sheriff took them out behind the
Jail and made them fight it out. News
paper reporters and chosen friends
were invited to witness the perform
ance.-Deadmood Times.

Down ON the CHEYENNE.

This is our fourth year in Fall River
county, and this present month of
March is the %pleasantest March, so far,
that we have ever experienced here, or
anywhere else. Green grass is already
taking the place of butter color, in
imparting a golden shade to dairy
products.
1t is getting neal to the time for
some enterprising person to erect an
elevator and buy and ship wheat, corn,
oats pigs and potatoes to some center
of commerce outside of the Hills.
Some of our neighbors have corn to
sell and desire to sell it for cash, but
cannot find a buyer. The merchant
holds the price down to barter, or else
the producer has to keep his products.
We do not blame the merchant, but
the producer needs a cash market.
Tradesmen and capitalists often de-
sire to shape politics. 1t looks to us as
though they were shaping them with
a vengeance toward either of the old
parties. The granger is in the saddle
and he is going to get there. Get
where +? Get where the money and
good prices are.
We are greatly pleased down here
with the prospect that the burn'd DIS
trict is to be filled soon with a much
better class of buildings. Here is a
chance for Buffalo Gap to chip in.
Come over and put in a few honest
days work in the stone quarry, and
take their grub out of those "two car
loads of provisions

the hens. UNCLE JOE.

society notes in the city. Also for

personal arrivals and departures. II

expect one, or one has been. we will

fact.

B. & NJ. Extension in Northern Wy

The grading army of Fitzpatrick
Collins & Company is now at work
between Gillette and Buffalo and pro-
poses to complete that section before
spring glides into summer. Three
thousand teams are employed and a
temperature of 40 degrees below zero
does not check the activity on the grade.
Representative of fitzpatrick. Collins
& Company informed the writer recent
ly that the objective point of the extern
sion was Yellowstone National park.
The distance to the park boundary from
Buffalo is 100 miles, and 100 miles are
under contract to be completed and
ready for trains by September /. Much
of the route calls for heavy work. but
The contractors are confident of COM
pieting the work within the time. The
remaining sixty miles to the park are
to be covered during the fall and win
ter. The remarkable rush in the work
of construction is explained by the fact
that the Burlington proposes to run
excursion trains from the worlds fair
to the park in 1898, and to that end all
energies are now directed.--Omaha
Bee.
TINS will be a great opportunity for
Hot Springs to get in some good work.
There would be no reason why all who
might go to the National Park as
above intimated could not be induced
to stop at this place for a while.

Err cfGood Feeling.

The late national contest was moi
less earnest than such battles have
been in the past, but it was the most
manly, dignifed, clean, educationa
campaign Of American history, and
it's benefcent results are visible in
the cordial acquiescence of the min
ority in the decision of the nation
Had President Harrison been re
cleo ted, he would have been welcom
ed to his second term by the whole
people, just as all parties now bow
loyalty to the overwhelming election
of Mr.. Cleveland.
The American people have learned
that intelligence, patriotism and
devotion to all the great materia
interests obtain quite as much in on'
party as in the other; and that whils
men of equal intelligence and patriot
ism many earnestly differ as to thu
true policy Of the government, thu
Republic and all its vast and
varied interests are entirely safe il
the care of either party. This is thu
lesson of the late election. and thu
low partisan hatreds and asperitiel
which have disgraced past contests
have persisted, and we hope forever
The era Of good feeling has come
and let all good citizens resolve tina
it has come to stay.-Phtladelphic

An illustration Of the Presidents
Ingenious economic fallacies is given
in his explanation that under the
existing tariff "about $93, 000,0 of
revenue, which would have been col
lected upon imported sugars if the
duty had been maintained, has gone
int the pockets of the people and
not into the public treasury as be-
FORE This would be true if the
people bought imported sugars
that is sugars imported in the raw
state-or if all sugars were free. But
the people only use the sugar after
it IL refined, and on every pound Of
sugar that they buy there is tax
equal to more than the whole cost Of
production, which goes, not into the
public treasury, but into the pockets
Of The Sugar Trust. The people get

The Clark Property Must Go.

The Clark Property Must Go.
The Clark property still stands.
So far as any official action of the
county court is concerned it will still
continue to remain in the same posi-
tion it has occupied.
The people have waited for an or
der from the county court that the
eye sore known as the Clark prop.
erty shall be eradicated and in its
place all the identifying elements

view of the court house. The pecu
liar and particular situation of the
two buildings makes the old one q
distinguishing piece of ugliness.
There is an incongruity in its very
existence that humbles the pride OF
the citizen who would point out the
beauties Of the court house from its
various elevations.
The Clark property must go.
The people have said this all along.
The county court has not said it.
The people, one of these fine days,
will demand it. What will the coun-
ty court do then? The county court
would then, most likely, keep on in
the work Of adding more days to the
too large number that the Clark
property has stood.
But there are other ways for the
people to do, if they will just dc
them.
The recent session of the county
court was looked upon az the term OF
terms when an order should emanate
looking to the demolition of the Clark
property. The Clark property! There
should be Clark property, perhap s,
but not the one we call the Clark
property. The people had their hopes
raised in this matter on account oil
the presence in the court of the own
er of the property. But not word
was said 80 far as the general public
knows.
Perhaps the county court may or
der the official wipe off the earth Of
the Clark property at some time in
the future. But there will not be an
other session for some time. The
lawn could not be made to look re-
spectacle before another year if the
court is to be waited upon, when
there is no assurance that body will
take the necessary action. There
must be some other means.
