Irwin Nelson In Limbo.

Tuesday, r. ]. Logan, of this city,
visited Deadwood, and caused the ar
rest Of Irwin Nelson, formerly Of this
place, but more recently of Deadwood. i.
on charge Of dsposing of mortgaged
property. Something over year ago
Nelson borrowed $l20 of w. c. Ward of
this city, and secured him by a mort
gage on team Of horses which he then
possessed. He wished to 90 to the
Northern Hills in search of work. and
Mr.. w. permitted him to take the team
with him. Last September Nelson sold
the team receiving, so it il said, $275 for
the horses, and giving bill of sale to the
purchaser, but nothing was done to sat
isfy the mortgage. and the mortgage,
after waiting patiently for several
months, hoping for some kind Of set
Element, has commenced proceedings as
above stated. Nelson was taken before
Justice Belding at Deadwood, and there
plead guilty, acknowledging all charges
made aginst him. In extenuation he
told the sad story Of the recent death of
his wife and son. te stated that at the
time Of the sickness and death of the
latter, he was without employment or
money, and was compelled to dispose of
the team to defray the expenses of the
illness and the funeral. After pleading
guilty he was incarcerated and the case
continued until he could communicate
with brothers, from whom he expects
to obtain assistance. The brothers, two
OF them, reside at Ponca, Neb., ard are
in good circumstances. Nelson himself
for number of years was well TO do
resident Of that city. and the family was
held in high esteem. HIS wife and old
est son are buried in the Custer ceme.

the man is also to he pitied. His own
mistakes and a combination Of unfor-
tunate circumstances have robbed him
Of prosperity and happiness.
Since the above was put in type, the
matter has been settled, Damon, the
man to whom Nelson sold his team,
paying Mr.. Wards claim, and also at
torney's expenses.

Minneapolis Journal: Truth is often
stranger than fiction. An old soldier at
Watertown, S. d., left his faucet run

A cold wave came down and froze the
water as it fell. SO that it sounded like
bullets striking against the sink. The
soldier dreamed that it was charge OF

N. B. Cottrell, who has made his home
in Custer for something less than year,
has won place in the hearts of our
people that will be his as long as
thoughts of him exist. His abode is at
present ia Lincoln, Neb., but the record
Of a number of his business2 transac-
tions is still very fresh in the minds OF
the majority of our citizens. One ofthe
first Of his deals which attracted public
attention was the trading of certain
Lincoln property which he represented
as belonging to him. for the Y ranch
in this county, and a considerable
amount Of live stock. The deeds of the
Lincoln property were evidently all
regular, and the ranch and stock were
transferred to Cottrell. Since then he
has disposed of part Of the stock and
pocketed the proceeds. So far SO good,
and nobody kicking. But this week a
new phase of the transaction is devel-
oped. X. c. Jones. not the gentleman
who pays the freight" but resident
of Lincoln, visits Custer and manifests a
startling amount of interest in Mr.. C's
business affairs here. He (Jones) says
that the Lincoln property belonged to
him, that Cottrell was simply an agent
and that the ranch, horses, cattle, ETC.,
included in the Y property. should
now be in his name and possession.
While here he took possession of the
ranch and will attempt to hold it. Mr..
Cotrell, he promises to interview" on his
return to Lincoln. Cottrell resided here
for number of months, and was con-
sidered not bad fellow, but this is only
one of his "deals" that looks rather
shady. and it begins to look as il he was
a full fledged sharper.

noticed suspicious looking
character enter the town by the Hill
City road, and skulk along through the
back streets until he had reached the
outskirts. His appearance and his evil
dent desire to keep out of sight as much
as possible, attracted attention, and no
one was surprised when couple Of
hours later telephone from Rapid was
received, stating that man bearing the
name of Logan Smith, and answering
the description of the one who passed
through Custer, was wanted for crime
committed at Rapid City. Sheriff Wood
was instructed to arrest the man, but he
seemed to have disappeared after leav-
ing Custer, as diligent inquiries in all
directions failed to reveal any further
trace Of him. The crime for which he
is wanted at Rapid City is that of rape
on young girl who worked at one of
the hotels there. The girl is only half
wittei and partially paralyzed. and
Smith accomplished his designs by en-
ticing her away from the hotel to a Sc
cluded part of the town.
