Quite an exciting scene took place at a
little town near Deadwood q few days
apo between a oma and her 1J-year-
old daughter, as the latter was getting
ready to leave home. The woman had
considerable trouble in getting the girl
back home, and during the fracas was
thrown down n flight OF stairs twice.
After getting the daughter home the
mother tied her up with a clothes line
and put her in aroom, after being beaten
till her face was black and blue. Report

prisoner, but is PERM ID to come out

The cap has been removed from the
stand pipe OF the Risdon artesian well
near Huron, and the water given iull
vent. From II, 600 to $4,000 gallons OF
water now gushes from the well every
minute, providing a magnificent sight
and attracting large crowds. bitches

hay and other property on the low lands
in the vicinity OF the spouter. An at
tempt will De made TO attach an elbow
to the pipe and force the water into the

Tom German, the veteran prospector
n and around Silver City, was in that
town n few days ago and reported the
discovery OF rich free milling gold ore one
mile and q hall north OF the Diana lode.
Mr.. German says the discovery is not a
pocket one, as has been ioundin the early
days OF the hills, but the. work so far
done has exposed II large body OF ore,
which in some places lis so feet wide.
Should the discovery prove as valuable
as the work done by the discoveries now
j~ustifies them to believe, it will be the
most important made in the southern
hills sinceits settlement. 1t is the inten-
/ tion of the owners to work on the claims,
80 that in a few weeks time they will be
able to tell more about the value.
The United States land office in Pierre
is in receipt OF a decision from the secre-
tary OF the interior which is to the effect
that all Indians of part blood are not en-
titled to allotments of land upon the
Sioux reservation ceded lands. By this
decision probably fully one-half OF all the
lands allotted are now thrown back to
the government for homestead settle
ment. In the Pierre land district alone
there have been 391 allotments made,
which cover 104 ,S66 acres OF land. The
one-half which is covered by half breeds
are the very best lands upon the coded
tract, controlling the water rights along
the streams as well as the timber and al
SO the land OF speculative value near the
towns. One half breed family, the Du
Press, have taken the lands which con-
troll the water front along the Cheyenne
river for 10 miles. This is but an ex-
ample OF the land that will now be
thrown open for settlement again by
this decision. Not only will it prevent
half breeds from securing lands but thou
sands OF this class OF people all over the
country will be prevented from drawing
rations at the agencies.
