The three negroes yesterday morning
burst into the store of ii. G. Patton. a
prominent merchant at McGhee, and,
after beating him into insensibility with
clubs, dragged him to the rear of his
store. where the knife was brought into
use to make their deadly work douhly

throat was cut from ear to ear. The
negroes then lifted the store of a small

The Factory,

Through Mr. n. B. Manton, secretary

other articles Of commerce, who recent

Of several days in this city, we have OBJ
tanned the following reliable informa-
ton in relation to the new plant which
will be of interest TO our readers:
The apparent delay on the part or the
company in the matter of securing the
requisite machinery, is not due to neg
ligence or a lack of diligence. as not
withstanding the extended period that
has intervened since the enterprise was
inaugurated. the company has been
constantly engaged in selecting and test
ing the various kinds of machinery
required, with view to the purchase
Of such as would be best adapted for the
purposes required, This has involved
much travel, almost every eastern city
having been visited in its pursuit, and
as natural consequence, much time
has thus been consumed. The machin-
cry required for the plant is varied and
intricate, and for obvious reasons could
not all be secured at one point, hence il
Is being manufactured at number of
factories, some of which having been
temporarily disturbed by strikes, re-
peated delays have been the result.
The situation is now more favorable,
and it is expected that all OF the ma
chinery will be completed and ready for
shipment about August 25th.
Work will be commenced upon the
engine room as soon as the plans reach
here, which will be some time during
the coming week. This building will
be 40 feet long and Of the full width OF
the main building, which is rs feet
making the dimensions Of the entire
building, when completed, rs by lac

powerful engines, two l00-horse power
boilers, and a l 200 electric light combina.

dunn of which the city at no distant day
will be illuminated. An additional annex
of large capacity will be added later on,
in which all of the various kinds OF
mineral paints will lie manufactured
From the best information obtainable

operation on or about September 25th,
and that it's operation viii be profitable

AT the residence Oft the brides mother,
in Winona, Minnesota, on Thursday,
July 26th, Mr.. w. j. Thornby, OF Her
mosa, and Miss Bertha Youmans, of
Winona.
or Mr.. Thornby 1t is entirely unneces-
sary for us to speak, as he is personally
known to nearly every resident reader
of the CHRONICLE in the Black Hills, by
whom he is held in the highest esteem
The bride was former resident Of the
Hills, and is especially well known at
Spcarfish. where she was a popular
teacher in the public school, concerning
whom the Bulletin of that place, in a
notice OF her marriage, says: Miss
Youmans' friends are confined merely
by the extent of her acquaintance, and
that is very extensive in its scope. There
is not child in Sprearfiih who VAS at
any time under her care in the model
school who does not to a certain extent
worship her next to q mother. 1t will
surely be a source of qualification to ev-
cry one of her friends to know that she
Is to return to the Hills to make her
home"
The happy pair arrived in Custer on
Wednesday morning from Chicago,
where they had been on a brief wedding
tour. They remained here until Friday
morning, during which time they were
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. Pitcher
The latter being sister to the groom.
Many friends of the contracting parties
called upon them and proffered their
congratulations and earnest wishes for
their future welfare, and the Custer Cor
net band honored them with serenade
upon the evening following their ar
rival. They will be at home to their
friends at the farm of the groom near
Hermosa. in few days, where it is the
ardent wish of the CHRoNIcLE that their
future may be fraught with unbrok en-
happiness and abundant prosperity.

utes of the meeting handed US by the
secretary for publication
At meeting held in the court house
on Saturday evening, July 2Sth, 1891, by
members of the republican party, for
the purpose of organizing Republican
Club, the Hon. w. q. Porter was Sc
lected temporary chairman, and Thos.
l. Wheeler temporary secretary.
On motion, the secretary was instruct
ed to write to the secretary of the re-

Five min ute speeches were made by

VIM. q. Porter wound up with a five
minutes gusher that brought back into

Custer Opera House.

Arrangements for the erection Of "a
opera house in this place were not fully
perfected when we went to press last
week, and as repeated efforts in this
direction had previously failed, we ap-
preached the subject with some degree
Of diffidence and distrust. We are now
in position to state with the utmost de.
gree Of certainty. that the enterprise u
assured, and that work will be commenc-
ed upon the structure early next week.
The building, which will be erected BY
I. V. Garlock, a prominent merchant
of this city, has already been contracted
for, d. +. Shope, the well known con-
tractor and builder of this place, having
been awarded the contract. The d.
mensions Of the building is 30xlo0 feet,
with 20 foot ceiling, and gallery. The
plan of the house is somewhat similar
70 the Hot Springs opera house, and
will have a seating capacity of 500. The
dress circle will be supplied with fold
ing opera chairs, which may be readily
removed when il is desired to use the
floor for dancing.
An opera house, such rs agreed upon,
will be valuable acquisition to the
city, and will fill long felt want. the
place having been for years badly handi-
capped by reason of having no hall of
sufficient seating capacity to meet exist
ing requirements for visiting or local
theatrical performances, or popular en-
tertainments ofany kind whatever. The
location Of the building will be on the
north side Of Custer Avenue, between
4th and 9Th streets, near the court
house.

A. j. Simmons, Superintendent Of the
Keystone mine was in Deadwood last
week for the purpose of perfecting ar

the cyanide works to treat the Keystone
concentrates, Of which there is q large
amount now on hand. He reports the
mill running, and the mine improving
daily.
That the Terra and Caledonia mines
Of Terraville will soon resume opera

following which We clip from the Lead
City Tribune: 1T is said that the Cen.

Superintendent Grier that the scale oi
wages had been reduced ffy cents pou
day from the former price. and that oil
union men on that side were ready Ia

upon reliable authority that the Lead

expressed themselves % not intending
to interfere with the Central union In
making the reduction. Il 10 also rumor

The motion Of the Homestake Min

Fullerton case, with which our local
readers are familiar. was denied by Judge
Edgerton at Sioux Falls on Saturday.
Referring to the case the Argus Leader
says:
II will be remembered that at the first
trial the jury awarded $4,000 damages
and on the second trial, which waa
granted by Judge Sanborn, the jury gave

new trial. made the point that the
foreman Of the new company, to whom
Fullerton reported the condition of the
machinery, had no authority to promiss
anything In the premises. Judge Car

that the foreman being tho man who
hired the men and stood for the CON.
pany had full authority and that his
