A. C. spearin, indicted by Custer
county's last grand jury for murder in
the first degree, is now il jail in this
city. The arrest was made by Sheriff
Willard at Hot Springs, where the ac-
cused man was located without any diff
ficulty The trial of the case at the last
term of circuit court was impossible, as
the stomachs Of the two Sjeblom child
rem who were poisoned have been sent
to Chicago for examination by medical
experts. The amount Of bail required
is $5OO000, and We understand that
Spearin's friends are making an effort to
secure it. Anderson & Anderson, attor-
nsys of Hot Springs, have been retained
by the defendant. The accused is an
old man, with one foot in the grave it
might be said. and it Is hard to believe
that any mercenary or rsvsngeful mo-
tive could have influenced him to COM
NIT the crime with which he is charged.
The trial Of the case will prove him
guilty Of q most heinous crime or the
victim of very unfortunate combina
ton Of circumstances.

The Circuit Judgeshlp.

II is perhaps much too early to begin
agitating the question of candidate for
the position Of Judge of the seventh ju-
dicial circuit to be elected next fall, but
the Miner has an idea, and as it is some
what unusual, it hastens to spring it on
the unsuspecting public.
Our idea is that the judgeship should
not be political Office. The man who
holds this dignified and responsible po-
sition must be learned in law, and
should be quick of intellect, and sound
in judgement; with sufficient dignity to
command the highest respect Of all who
come before him. Since he must neces-
sariy be a lawyer, and since it makes
very little difference to the people what
his politics may be if they nre satisfied
that he stands before them a Just and
upright judge, it strikes the Miner that
the lawyers of the circuit are the best
judges of who Of their number possesses
the requisite qualities in the highest de-
gree, and are the men who should prop
erly make the selection and recommend
his election. Let there be meeting of
the bar of the circuit at some conven
lent term Of court and let the lawyers
talk the matter up. This plan has been
adopted in other states and worked to
the satisfaction Of all concerned, and
the Miner believes it would hers.-Tin
Miner.
As we have circuit judge to elect
this fall some Of the boys are already in
quiring as to who will call the tonyen-
ton, so far at least as the republicans
are concerned. At the convention held
at oelrichs, on the 2sth day of &uyust,
1889, which nominated w. y. MSi, n
judicial committee consisting or two
members from Pennington ard one
each from Custer and Fall River, was
elected, the committee being composed
of the following: Elihu Wilson and s.
A. Flower, Pennington; L. S. Gull, Gus
ter; S. f. Wilson, Fall River The re
moval of Mr.. Gull from Buffalo Gap to
this city leaves Custer without men,
ber of the committee. Mr.. Flower, if
We mistake not, has left Rapid, thus
leaving the two Wilson's as sole sur,iy-
ors Of the committee and on whom the
calling of the republican judicial con-
vention will devolye.-Hot Springs

John McLelland, q gentleman from
Iowa who was in Custer last week,
claims to possess the power TO detect
the presence of precious minerals
through the mysterious agency of the
witch-hazel fork. The gentleman says
that in Pennsylvania and Iowa he has
assisted in locating extensive deposits
of iron and coal, and that while in the
Northern Hills before coming here, aft
or being blind folded he led the way to
spots which were known TO be under
laid with bodies Of gold ore. Whether
or not Mr.. McLellsnd really possesses
the power he claims, we will not at
tempt to say, but certain II Is he cannot
do this country any good by the use OF
it. Deposits of ore rich in gold and sill
yer were long ago discovered in the
Southern Black Hills without the as
sistancs of limb Of a hazel bush, and
all We need now is the knowledge OF
some means of extracting the precious
from the valueless. If the gentleman
will only 90 into another seance with
his uncanny friends who have already
i.ien him into their confidence. snd in
the course of their incantations extract
from them this other secret which il %
eagerly sought after. we will guarantees
that he can readily sell il and make an
independent fortune in 30 doing.

Sudden Death Of U. 8. Marshal Fry.

Cyrus j. Fry, United States marshal
for South Dakota, died at Dead wood,
last Saturday afternoon, after an illness
Of only few hours duration. Marshal
Fry arrived in Deadwood Thursday on
official business which be expected
would require several days to transact.
He was enjoying his usual good health
at the time of his arrival, but Friday
evening was attacked by a severe head
ache and to relieve the pain he purchas-
cd three ten grain powders Of antipy-
rine, a medicine which he had been in
he habit of using for that purpose.
Just before retiring for the night he
took two Of the powders. At $50
o'clock Saturday morning Deputy Z. s.
Marshal Chris. Matthiesson arrived in
Dead wood on the n. & NJ. freight, and
going direct to the room occupied by
Fry found him acting strangely and call
ing for water. A drink of water seemed
to relieve him and no doctor was called
until 10 o'clock. About that time the
sick man seemed to grow worse and
the physician who was summoned pro-
nounced his symptoms similar to those
Of morphine poisoning. Fonr Of the
best physicians in DeadH ood were i'm
mediately called in and everything
known to the profession was done to
save the patients life. But their efforts
were of no avail and he passed away
shortly after o'clock Saturday evening.
A few hours before his death Mr.. Fry
was able to converse nationally with his
physicians and at that time declared he
had taken nothing but antipyrine. An
examination of the third powder which
was found on the washstand proved
that it contained only that harmless
drug. Nevertheless the doctors are pos
tive that death was caused by an over
dose of morphine. The idea that it was
case of suicide is secuted by those who
knew the deceased. He was in excel.
lent spirits when he bade his friends
good night Friday evening, and there
was nothing apparent in his domestic
or business life which would have led
him to destroy himself
The deceased was appointed United
States Marshal for this state by Harri-
son, and his term would have expired
next month. He was man about forty
years of age, of splendid physique and
enjoyed the best of health. He had
made an excellent record as an official,
was very popular among his innumera-
ble acquaintances, and was an active
Mason and Knight Of Pythias- Vermil-
lion was his place of residence, and he
had resided there with his wife and
children In beautiful home for a num-
Der Of years. The family, and Frank
Fry, brother ofthe deceased, were no.
tilted of the sudden termination of his
life, aud they Immediately started for
15eadwood. Mrs. Ery was so prostrated
that she was compelled 10 leave the
train at Norfolk, and the brother came
on to the Hills to take charge of the re-
mains. They were taken east for inter
ment, Sunday night.

saturday afternoon at o'clock. On
GERS will be elected for the ensuing six
months, and other important business
will be transacted.
Every farmer in the vicinity Of Gus
ter should be interested in this Farmers
Association. We have already, through
the public spirited efforts Of N. 8. and d.
d. Tubbs, established cheese factory at
Custer City. We have also established
a sale agency, with Mr.. d. d. Tubbs, as
agent. The plan L. ia: az members .:
the association shall list whatever they
have to sell with the agent. He will
do some advertising, and probably make
an occasional trip to the Northern
Hills. Whenever he makes sale Of a
carload Of potatoes. hay, oats. ETC., be
will at once notify the parties having
such articles listed, advising them at
what time he will have car; then they
can haul In their produce, load il onto
the Car, and in due time recsive their
paw in cash.
We expect this feature will be sfeai

to purchase, produce. stock. second
hand farm implements sor machinery,
will find that their wants can b. sup,
piled by calling upon the agent, at the
