Judge Gardner came in from Rapid
City on Monday, and after conference
with the Custer bar, decided to adjourn
the spring term of the circuit court for
Custer county until July 9Th, which
seems to be quite in line with public
sentiment, as the people generally have
other engagements and could not con-
veniently give the term the attention its
importance demands if it should be con
vened at an earlier period.

Monday was an unusually lively day

Monday was an unusually lively day
in Custer. The streets were alive with
people, who were, to all appearances,
eagerly intent upon the attainment of
some special object in the briefast pos
sible time. Some were loading up
wagons with supplies for the various
outlying quartz and placer mining
camps some we're testing the speed of
their trotting horses on the evenues,
while others were rigging up prospect
ing outfits. The scene presented was
indicative of unusual business activity,
and the two runaways occurring in the
forenoon, that of Hickman and Hsnd-
rickson's teams, increased the general
excitement without incurring injury be-
yond the breaking Of a couple Of wagon
tongues. To man on the side, II now
looks very much as il Custer, in the
brief and feeting hence, was destined
to be unmistakably in the swim. to the
fullest extent Of her ardent and -nGst
ssp1uiss hopes.
