The STAR is i'll position to prove
just what it says and does not back
down an inch from it's assertions in its
last issue. We have had several other
cases brought to our notice where rep
utable persons are ready to swear that
the member of that honored profession
who came back at us yesterday has
been guilty of work of the same char
acter. 1t is safe to say he will soon be
in the clutches of the law and that he
may receive his just deserts not only
in this case but others that have re-
suited more seriously. The doctors
and the ladies of the w. G. T. u. are
after the doctor and they will probably
handle him without gloves. Mean
while the girl in question cannot be
found, although diligent search has
been made for her. The letter written
by her to her sister is probably burned
up by some of Cheney's friends but
fortunately its contents are known and
can be sworn to and those who helped
to destroy it may be brought into it too.
Julia, sister of the girl, in being exam
ined before the district attorney this
afternoon, said that the letter stated
that she was quite sick, had one opera
tion performed by DIR. Cheney and he
expected to perform another that night.
Julia also stated that she met DIR. Che
ney in front of his office and he told
her Vic, her sister, had tumor in her
and that he intended to perorm an op-
Grafton on her. but said "For Heavens
sake, don't tell any body about it or
we'll all go to the pen. Be sure that
you don't tell anybody and I'll bring
Vic. out all right" There we're seven
persons present who heard this and
other important evidence and it was
corroborated by another important
witness.

tnttve ON the Ground.
PIERRE, January Ex-senator Scham
Der was very much disappointed today
over the defeat of his bill to repeal the
dog tax law. He declared that it was
unconstitutional and unjust.-"a stain
upon our statute books" Consider
able sport was created over the bill
Senator Foote trying to help out Sena.
tor Shamber in his humorous way re-
marked, while rising vote was being
taken upon the adoption of the com.
mittee report, "give us show to raise
dogs" But they will have to continue
to be raised under a protective duty.
Senator McGee has bill that in.
creases the salary of the supreme court
judges to $4,000, and circuit court
to $500. Plaintiffs, before beginning
suit in the supreme court, must pay
$500, and in circuit court slOO, which
amounts go into the salary funds of the
respective courts.
The bill providing that the warden
of the penitentiary should transport
prisoners from their respective coun-
ties to the penitentiary, through his
deputies, was killed in the senate today
through the efforts of Senator Rice
who made q very effective speech
against the bill.
In the house Mr.. Reid of Campbell
introduced a bill providing for the en-
emption from taxation for five years all
new lines of railroads.
In the senate Mr.. Wright introduced
a bill raising the age of consent to q
years.
Bill No. S5, petitioning congress to
permit settlers ON the Sisseton and
Mahpeton reservations to prove up
under the homestead act, passed.
Two measures of considerable impor-
tance to the people of the Black Hills,
came up.
One was Mr.. Hare's bill requiring
stockmen to advertise the time aud
place of the spring roundup for four
weeks prior to the event. This passed
without opposition after forcible pre-
sentation of the subject by the author.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Ammer-
man of Pennington county, reducing
the per diem of the county commits
sioners of Pennington and Custer
from s. to s3 was reported back favor
ably by the committee, and will un-
questionably pass within few days.

Miss Nobody.

The Pringles opened their weeks en-
gagement in the opera honse in this
city Monday night with the eserio-comedy
Miss Nobody. We are sorry to say the
audience was very small one, but this
did not have any effect on the playing,
as the company throughout carried out
their parts as we'll as though the house
had been packed. We have never
heard Mr.. Pringle before, but he Ger.
tainly is one of the most thorough
comedians that ever struck the town.
He took his parts of Joseph jefferson
Jinks, the detective, and K. G. Hopper,
the lightning rod peddler, in manner
that brought down the house. Richard
Cregan made a typical Irishman and a
dignitied judge. s. A. Mitchell, who
took the part of Norman Granville, is
the weakest man in the company, if
they have any weak points, though he
took the part of a scheming, designing
villain fairly we'll. Sadie Cregan, as
Bess, although a light part was very
nicely done. Lillian Dwyer took the
part of Foxie admirably and could not
have been excelled as a waif. She
with Mr.. Pringle are the strong men,
bers of the company. Miss Maude
Roberts, the pianist, made excellent
music, but was handicapped by having
to play on an organ, as piano could
not be obtained. Taking the company
altogether they make first class show
and deserve the liberal patronage of
the theater going public.

From Tuesdays Edition.
Last week the STAR mentioned the
fact that Merton Leacox, a young man
of this city, had taken to himself a
wife in the person of Nora Geneva
Bailey of Custer. It was correct in the
statement, but thereby hangs a tale.
The sheriff of Custer county came
down this morning and put Mr.. Leacox
under arrest and will take him back to
that cit%tomorrow to answer to seri-
GUS charge. The charge is in effect,
statutary rape, and complaint was
sworn out by the bride, who it is said is
just little past thirteen years of age.
The warrant was sworn out several
days agosand the sheriff has been hunt
ing Mr.. Leacox, who successfully
eluded him. Yesterday the bride and
groom dlNveSs fwn to this city and both
were here at the home of the groom's
mother when Leacox was arrested. It
seems that the mother of the bride,
who was anxious for the match, went
with the couple to obtain their license
and gave her assent thereto, positively
declaring that the girl was fifteen years
of age. There seems to be quite a hen
on in the matter as both the mother
and the bride declare that if this mat
ter is pushed, it will be very interest
ing for number of other young men
in that locally and some one facetious-
ly remarked that it may be the cause
of the disbanding of the Custer guards.

The Cold Weather.
From Thursday's Edition.
Tho c1<JDek :~,l>oL:A.A =.

The Oldest inhabitant in the country
cannot remember weather as cold as
it was last night and this morning
The thermometers stood all the way
from 25 to 35 degrees below zero. On
Tuesday night the weather was quite
pleasant. During the night it turned
cold and went to blowing and showing
and Wednesday it was diiagreeably
cold all day. The Elkhorn east bound
train was stuck in the snow at Merri-
man, and the train coming this way
was tied up at Cody. The B. & M. went
out at the regular time, 5:45 a. m. and
laid at Edgemont all day waiting for
the train on the main line. They ex-
pected to get in here by o'clock but
about that time the word came that it
had been ditched about two miles this
side of Edgemont, and the stub train
came back with its passengers. The
train was in the ditch all right, obut it
was most fortunate accident. Every
wheel of the entire train, except the
hind truck of the sleeper, left the track
and when the train came to stand
still the engine was fully forty feet
from the track. How the big heavy en-
gine could have gone humping along
over the ties and uneven ground with
out tipping over or hurting anyone is a
great mystery, but it did so. A special
track was built out to the train this
morning and it was run back on track
with not cents worth of damage. It
came in at o'clock this afternoon.
Rapid reported q to 30 below; Lead, 26
Deadwood %, and Sturgis 35 degrees
below zero. The indications from the
signal service are that it will be much
warmer by tomorrow evening. Let it
come.

It is stated that the B. & M. COM
pany have let the contract to Mike
Gilmore to fill in Sheep canyon, near
Edgemont, with earth sufficient for .
road bed. This is the place where tho
large bridge spans the gulch. As isoon
as the work is completed, which will be
perhaps six months, the track will be
layed and the bridge abandoned. The
bridge is about 400 feet in length and
about 128 feet high at the center point.
It is estimated that the work will cost
the company upwards of s4OOOO.-
