In order that w. VI. Foster might
carry with him to his new home pleas
ant memories Of Custer and Custer peo-
pie number Of his young gentlemen
friends planned little surprise for his
benefit, and Thursday evening last it
was most successfully executed. In re-
sponse to Invitations hastily extended
about fifty ladies and gentlemen gather
ed nj Garlock's hall, which was recently
handsomely furnished as lodge room,
and when everything WIS in readiness
Mr.. Foster was brought up and intro
duced as the honorsd guest of the even
ing. Immediately after the geatleman's
appearance 3. r. Wood made a few
remarks, briefly stating that while his
sojourn in C..ster had been a short one
he had readily won the friendship and
esteem of the people. and that this inn
promptu social affair was simply an ex-
preston Of the high regarG in which he
was held. Mr.. f. was taken completely
by surprise. but responded feelingly to
Mr.. Woods remarks. Though Custer
had been his home but a very short
time he had learned to love the beauti-
ful town and to look upon its citizens az
his warm friends. His choice would
have been to remain with US perma-
nently, but il had been willed otherwise
and duty called him away. The even
ing was very pleasantly passed with
music, cards. parlor croquet and other
games. Refreshments were served at
ten, and at midnight the party broke
up, bidding Mr.. Foster good bye and
wishing him prosperity and happiness
in the future.

From the Hot Springs Star We learn
that Senator Thornby is using his influ-
ence to have two companies OF Ft. Meade
cavalry stationed at the mouth of Battle
River during the spring and summer of
this year. The settlers along the river
are apprehensive of further trouble with
the Pine Ridge Indians and while there
is hardly a probability that the reds
will do any further mischief the fears
of the ranchers are not unnatural. The
troops could enjoy their regular summer
outing in that way and at The same time
make il impossible for the bloodihirsty
Sioux to repeat their treacherous and
murderous trick of few weeks ago.

A week has passed since the return TO
the Hills Of ]. s. Childs, and while oper-
ations have not been resumed in the
mines and mill of the Harney Peak
Company, there is nothing TO justify the
discouragiDg reports which have been
circulated throughout the Hills. A
CHRONICLE reporter interviewed d. w.
McFadden after his return from Hill
City last Wednesday evening, and while
that gentleman seemed unwilling to
relate any Of the details Of the COM
pany's business, he assured US that the
outlook for tin was just as bright as it
had ever been, and that work would be
resumed just as soon as the American
and English stockholders could agree
upon the policy to be pursued. DIR.
Taylor, who had accompanied Mr..
Childs on his sripto he uorshera Hills,
informs us that the superintendent has
not severed his connection with the
company and that he does not intend
10. The company is still paying out
aecct S5,Uo every thirty days, and
thirty men are at work in and about
Hill City. Improvements are constant
ly being added to the mill property, and
there is nothing to indicate that the
shut down will be long one. In brief,
the condition of affairs is the same as it
was when Mr.. Childs went east several
weeks ago. Those who hoped and ex-
pected that the production of tin would
commence the first of April are disap-
pointed Of course. The delay is neces-
sarily injurious to the country, but the
company in the transaction of its own
business affairs cannot be expected 10
be governed by that fact. Those who
have spent long weary years in patient
waiting will have 10 wait a few months
more with all the patience they can
command.

Last week we mentioned the fact that
5. r. Shankland bad just completed a
write up of Hot Springs for South Da-
kota's worlds fair pamphlet. Since
then that gentleman has been notified
that to him has been assigned the task
of writing up the entire Black Hills for
the same purpose. Mr.. Shankland's
thorough knowledge of the Black Hills
country, through all the stages of devsl-
opment and progress, from the date of
the first exploration up to the present
time, and his well known ability as a
writer, empower him to do Justice to
this wonderland as no other living man
could. The commission has placed the
task in hands which are amply able to
perform it, and the selection will give
complete satisfaction to all whose inter-
ests are involved.

II. N. Boss Skips With Ill Gotten Gains.
Odo Reder, the leading lumber dealer
of Custer, is the victim of misplaced
confidence, and II. N. Boss, who a few
weeks ago removed to Sheridan, Wyo.,
after two years service as 3. & NJ. agent
at this place, is fugitive from justice.
For some time prior to Boss departure
from Custer he had been purchasing
large amounts Of lumber from Mr..
Reder, and shipping it to Sheridan, con-
signing it to the Wyoming Lumber
Company, Of which he was a member.
Mr.. Rsder was paid small amounts at
different times, and when Boss left Gus
ter his company was owing about g, 200
Since that time no payments were
made. On Saturday of last week dis
patch was received from Sheridan stat
ing that the Wyoming Lumber Company
had disposed Of its entire stock, and
that the members of it, H. n. Boss and
A. j. Butler had left the country. Mr..
Reder took the Saturday evening train
for Sheridan. and upon his arrival there
learned that the report was only too
true. After making affidavit that their
large stock of lumber was unincumber-
ed by debts, Boss 4 Butler had sold il
to Sheridan dealer, and pocketing the
proceeds had hired a livery rig and
driven north to a station on the North
ern Pacific. Only day or two before
they left Sheridan they sent Mr.. Reder
check for 500. II proved to be
worthless when presented for payment.
Boss had some property in Cheyenne
which has been attached to satisfy Mr..
Reder's claim. Just what its value is is
not known at present. The news Of Har-
ry Boss escapade created surprise and
'rcg-et hSgr in Custer where he was well
known and generally liked. He made
many friends while holding the position
of agent and operator here, and while
little was known Of lis life previous to
the time when he came to Custer, the
majority Of his acquaintances respected
and trusted him. 1t has been reported
during the past week that he had rob-
bed the railroad company of consider
able amount while in its employ.
While the report has not been verified,
there is good reason to believe that it is
not altogether unfounded. Whether
this was or was not his first offense, he
has certainly proven himself an adept
as swindler His plans were evident
ly carefully laid and shrewdly executed.
A. j. Butler was until recently in tie
employ of the B. & NJ, and for a time
was stationed here in charge of the
pump house. Mr.. Reder has offered
500 reward for the apprehension of
Boss. and if captured 1here will be no
difficulty in finding criminal charges
upon which to prosecute.

The Mississippi Farmers Alliance
in recent address to the agricul-
turlsts of the state gave good advice
when il urged the people Of the state
to give more attention TO their farms
and less TO politics. The Alliance
might act on this suggestion itself
with very excellent results. When
first organized it promised to be of
great advantage to the farmers, but
in many places, as all similar organ
igations in the past have done, it
branched out into politices and then
its days of usefulness were number
ed. Factions were thus engendered
and the house became divided
against itself. All classes might
adopt with profit the advice given
by the Alliance. Less attention to the
discussion Of abstract political prob
lens and more to the details OF bus
iness would result in infinitely
greater benefit TO the people,
