land.

berry plants today on his ranch near
the Falls.
w. A. Wheeler is preparing abstracts
of title to 800 acres of stone land situa-
ted neal Edgemont, for the Edgemont
Stone company.
It is probable that the Atkinson
Grow case, which wa decided in favor
of plaintiff in circuit court a few days
ago, will be appealed.
Mrs. N. M. Wade left on Thursday
evening for a protracted visit with
relatives and friends in Watertown,
s. ID, and Madison and st. Paul, MINI.
Chef. Martin, of the Belle Fourche
Bee, who is now in Omaha, will no
doubt be elated upon his arrival home
to find that he is the father of a ten
pound girl. The STAR extends congrat-
u%lations.
A quartette of Deadwood cams have
been trying their luck with local sports
for a few days. The boys here are
probably a little wary since their dis
astrous experience with the notorious
Montana trio.
The bar furniture and fixtures of
the new saloon adjoining the Jensen
livery barn have arrived and are nov
in place. The gambling paraphernalia
arrived this morning and the establish
ment will probably open up in full
blast tonight.
"Uncle Jimmie Stark is rejoicing
over having found the whereabouts of
a long-lost son 1t is twenty-five years
since he last saw his boy, and nineteen
years since he lost all trace of him.
The boy is now at Francisco, Mich. and
made the old gentleman rejoice by
sending his photograph.
The many friends of Julian A. Sedg
wick will be panied to learn that he is
mourning the loss of his father who
died in Chicago last Tuesday of Brights
disease. The STAR, in behalf of the nu.
merous friends of the family in Hot
Springs, extends sympathy to them in
their great bereavement.
Judge Gardner has taken the manda-
mus proceedings against County Treas
urer Burke under advisement and prob
ably will not render an opinion in the
matter for several days. 1t is a matter
of great Importance and the Judge de
sires to make Il thorough Investigation
before any further action is taken.
An invitation extended by Hot
Springs to the executive committee Of
the South Dakota Press association to
hold the summer meeting at that place
having been accepted, it is in order for
preparations to be made by our boar6
of trade to have them visit Edgemont
during their stay. The benefits of thi.
visit to the rising city cannot be easily
calculated and an effort made now viii
be accepted and placed on file as ono
of the points of interest in their jour
ney.-Edgemont Express.
They elected the following mum
cipal officers a. Edgemont last Tues
day: Mayor, a. l.. Shamrock: treas
urer. w. w. Stewart; city justice. j. Il
Schults; police justice, L. N. Meredith
aldermen, LIST ward. j. G. Craft anc
John Lane: 2nd ward. ID. X. Snivels
and Geo. Highley; Bird ward. G. Il
Paine and G. L. Tubbs. They cast IL:
votes. There was but the one ticket il
the field, which, the Express says. 'was
the cause of the light vote cast" Con
gratulations to our neighbor.
Our citizens should not lose sight OF
the fact that the Chautauqua asscmbl,
is to be held-if at all-on July 4. ant
excursion trains will be run from til,
northern Hills, making that one of TIL,
big days of the session. Hon. w. h
Sterling has already been invited t.
deliver the Grafton, and whether tn
Chautauqua assembly is held or not
he will doubtless be retained for tina
feature. Hot Springs will celebrate
and invites the entire Hills to join u
in the grand event.
The reception given last night by til
faculty of the Black Hills college t
the students and friends of the institu

ingly we'll rendered; the songs and il
. strumental music were greatly enjoye
and the various games, which were pal
ticipated i'll by nearly everyone. WEI
the source of unbounded amusemen
The faculty of the Black Hills colleg

their receptions are among the mo:
ENJOYABLE social events.
