Social Custer.

Clusters sociality is only equalled by
her hospitality. There appears to exist
in the air Of Custer, an element which
engenders sociability, as in no place
extant does the social currant flow with
more marked and unchanging regularity
The binding snow storm, or drenching
rain is powerless to prevent the social
gatherings which are constantly becom-
ing more frequent in their occurrence
Tuesday evening was not such a night
as one would select as being favorable
for the success of social gathering. In
fact, it may be said to have been quite
the reverse, as it rained, and rained !;
but, as usual, it cut no figure and the
grand ball of the Order Of Eastern Star,
billed for that evening, was none the
less enjoyable, or the attendance materi-
ally lessened thereby. The hall was
comfortably filed, aud the flow Of social
enjoyment was constant end undisturb-
ed to the close. Especially deserving
Of mention was the excellent supper
provided and served under the super
vision Of the ladies of the order, which,
by common consent, was conceded to be
surprisingly fine.

AC IL .erfeiter in Limbo.

Louis Martin, a rancher, who resides
in the vicinity of Dumont, was brought
to the city yesterday by Deputy u. 5.
Marshal Bray, charged with counter
feiting. Martin was taken before U. 5.
Commissioner McLaughlin for hear
ing, but his hearing was continued until
to-day to-ailow the prisoner to secure
witnesses. His bond was fixed at 5000,
but as he did not have that sum with
him, or within easy reach, he was COM
mitted. Martins arrest was made on
information lodged with the commits
sioner by one Alfred Afford Of Lead
City. Afford had for some time past
been in correspondence with Martin
relative to the sale of his ranch. The
last letter Afford received contained an
invitation TO come to Dumont and ex-
anime the property. This Allord did,
Monday. Upon arriving at Martins, the
prisoners cabin, and getting no response
to his repeated knocking, Afford walked
in No one was within and he made
himself "to home." Noting many ar
tioles which were strange to him he ex-
amined them and found them to be dies
and moulds, and other articles used by
makers of the queer" He did not
wait for Martin, but hurried to Dead
wood and told the authorities of his dis
covery. Marshal Bray went to the
cabin yesterday and gathered in the
mans outfit and him, too. Besides the
retorts, ladies, spoons and tools, he
found two moulds; one for dollars, and
one for quarters. No metal was found,
neither was any Of the SSl;n whjetr'sIar-
tin is supposed to have made. The
moulds are excellent pieces of work.
Martin, from the looks Of his cabin, has
been at this money making business for
some time. He has, Lo doubt, confed.
crates in the various Hills towns, who
act rs showers" or ones who put the
money into circulation. His capture is
considered an important one.-Pioneer

The May social given at the Vienna
by the ladies of the Baptist church on
Tuesday evening, Notwithstanding the
rain, and the fact of the ball of the East
ern Star occurring at the same time, was
fairly well attended, and whatever it
may have lacked in attendance was
more than made mp in the exceptional
aggregation of pleasing and enjoyable
features incident to the occasion. Vocal
music with instrumental accompani-
ment was feature most pleasing to the
ear, the recitations by the boys and
girls were quite entertaining, and the
refreshments were Of the palatable and
enjoyable order, which are always well
received and duly appreciated. The
Baptist social is not remarkable for its
frequency, but when it does occur, it
may be relied upon as being an occasion
especially worthy of public attention,
and good place to spend an evening.
