CONDEMNED SIDEWALKS.
who is Responsible for Resistance I
the Law.

VINO Is Responsible for Resistance to
the Law.
The law providing for the construction
of stone sidewalks where old ones have
been condemned is not being enforced as
1t should be, and complaints are very
numerous since the winter rains have set
In. In many cases where old wooden
Sidewalks have been condemned the
owners have taken them up, filled in
with loose earth and then allowed them
10 remain III that condition III spite OF the
law. Such persons should be promptly
arrested, on complaint OF the Sidewalk
inspector, but Tor some reason they are
not.
1he Sidewalk Inspector states that in
some cases the excuse given by the parties
Is that they have let the contract TO a GER
tam sidewalk builder and they think that
lor that reason they are not liable to ar
rest. 1t has been asserted frequently
that this same contractor has advised
people 10 resist the law and not build new
walks until they wanted to. 1t is claimed
lhat he gave this advice whenever he had
plenty OF work on hand, SO that no other
contractor would get the job. II This is
true there ought TO he way found to
punish him, and in any eNe ent the fact of
having Il contract let should not protect
law.
If the law cannot reach The contractor
pubic opinion can, il Ie Is guilty Of the
charge preferred against him. An in
Vesugatlon Is already underway 10 ascer-
tam the truth, ana # the charge can be
sustained by proper evidence the facts
WIII be given 10 the public.
In the meantime it is clearly the duty
OF the Sidewalk Inspector 10 enforce the
law, ana not be put OF 10y the llimsy eX-
cuse that contract has been let To a con-
tractor who does not intend to build the
walk until some time next year, when he
has no:hIng else to do.

THE HALSEY ESTATE ONCE MORE.
Mrs. HaIsey's Son Still Trying to
Secure 1t.
He Again Files a Complaint Charging
Undue Influence by Bitheli
and Others.

Milton S. Halsey has again commenced
suit in the Superior Court against James
Bithell for the recovery of his mothers
estate. He also sues for $500 damages for
the withholding of the estate ami 5000
rents and profits of the estate from the
time it came into BithelI's possession.
Ialsey commenced a similar action
against Bithell last March. but demur-
rer to the complaint was sustained, and,
Halsey failing TO file an amended COM
plant within the stipulated time, the
case was dismissed.
The estate in question consists of the
north forty feet OF the west sixty feet of
lot /, in the block bounded by l. and NJ, j.,
Second and Third streets; the east fifty
Ieet OF the north hall and the north fifteen
feet Of the south half OF lot /, in the block
bounded by NJ and y, Fifth and Sixth
streets.
Lalsey alleges in his complaint that his
mother, shortly before her death, suffered
severely from sickness, aud that during
that period she grew gradually weaker,
both physically and mentally, until she
died OH December 5, 1859. While SICK,
the complaint AYERS, she was susceptl bic
OF easy control and persuasion, and was
aualrs, TO transact business or 10 dispose
OF her property.
Plaintiff also alleges that on Decem Der
D, 1882 while IN IL semi-cousciuus state,
anu Wnen size did not know The nature
and effect OF the transaction, his mother
was induced 10y advice, persuasion aud
undue l!nportunity by Bilheli To sign
DEED OF trust conveying To nim The entire
estate, ana empowering him to collect all
rents, issues, prOlllS ANA Income thereof.
IL Was also provided IN the deed OF trust
thaJ BlthelI Should pay 10 udIsey sucn
sums as he deemed necessary Ior plaiut-
III support and maintenance, provided
II Tor any cause the latter should be un-
able TO support himself. IL also provided
that no payment should be made 10 Hal
sey, unless through sickness or Disability
ne should be unable 10 support himself
by his own eXertOns, BiLuGlI to be the
sole ana exclusive Judge OI the necessity
or proprieiy oi making such payment.
PlaIntlH Iurther AYERS that at the time
MS mother signed the deed Blthell and
other persons, whose names are unknown
TO the plaIntlt1, conspired together for the
purpose OF preventing Mrs. Aalsey from
leaving the estate to her son, and that i'll
order To accomplish the conspiracy the
defendant and others acting for him rep
resented to Mrs. Halsey that the deed OF
trust contained disposition OF the prop
erty TO the plaintiff, and thereby Induced
her to sign the deed.
Halsey has been administrator of his
mother's estate ever since her death, and
as such administrator demands an
accounting from Bithell for the rents and
accumulatlons and proceeds OF The estate.
E. Z. Hart, y. DE Ligne and y. NJ.

1t Costs Him Three Months DUTY at
the Rock Pile,

John Murphy was in the Police Court
yesterday charged with petty larceny in
breaking into the room of Gus Dabila

and stopped on the corner for minute,
making an engagement to meet at some
place in half an hour. Murphy had a

be the royal concessions for mining and

tnDity. There are great ranges Of gold

The Burlington Route is notable ex
ception to the general run Of western
railroads. During period when rail-
road building in this country has been
almost at standstill, it has been steadi-
ly pushing forward its northwest ex-
tension and now takes much pleasure
in announcing its completion TO Billings,
Mont. S93 miles from Omaha.
At Billings, connection is made with
the Northern Pacific Railroad and, un-
der a traffic agreement with that com
pany, business Of all classes is exchanged
there, or, more properly speaking, r0ut-
ed through that poiut To and from every
station on or reached via the Northern
Pacific and Burlington systems.
This New Short Line-for that is ex-
actly what il is-reduces the distance
between Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis
and the territory south and southeast Of
those cities, on the one hand, and Mon
tana, Northern Idaho and Puget Sound
points, on the other, all the way from
30 10 473 miles 1t thus becomes an
important factor in bringing the vast
scope of country served By the North
ern Pacific into closer relationship with
the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys.
Just to illustrate things: The New

Under the alluring caption Of cone
thousand per Tom the following Hill
City special appeared in the Omaha Bee
of the 29th uit:
Some excitement prevails here oyer
the result of three days run of a five
stamp mill recently built on the lately
opened Holy Terror mine at Keystone,
near here. The cleanup realized $1,000
III free gold from less than six tons Of
ore, besides five tons Of valuable con-
centrates requiring other treatment.
The ore Is taken from drift about forty
feet below the surface. The vein is four
feet wide. Several other mines have
yielded splendid returns. Lately the
heystone Mining company was reorgan-
lied the officers residents of st Paul
are here to pay back Indebtedness and
make improvements.
While ii is fact that the run Of ore
above referred 10 was phenomenal in
its rich results, and Unprecedented in
the history of Black Hills mining, the
above account is, beyond cavil, the most
fragrant Misrepresentation of facts that
The mania for prevarication is very
strongly marked in number of our
BLACK Hills mining correspondents, but
hitherto their exaggerations have main
ly been confined TO descriptions of
mining properties in connection with
which a statement of facts would not
serve their purpose. In this instance
we find the mania for Misrepresentation
SO intense, that the disposition to exer-
else it, when true statement Of facts
would have served him just as we'll,
could not be resisted Such overdiawn
accounts are detrimental rather than
beneficial, and have a tendency to dis
gust rather than interest the reader.
Aside from its untruthful character, the
total disregard of common mining sense
and consistency on the part of the Nriter
is enough OF itself to preclude even the
faintest possibility Of belief Not con-
tent with $1,000 from % or 80 tons Of
ore, he must raise the product to $1,000,
and reduce the amount of ore treated to
less than six tons. Nor is his optimistic
soul content with this. as he supple
ments it with the further statement.
that five tons of concentrates were OBJ
tanned from the short six tons of ore re-
duced statement which could have no
other effect than to invite contradiction,
and immorably fix in the mind of
the reader, the belief. that the Hill City
correspondent is, what he doubtless is,
the champion liar of the Black Hills.
