ImpOrtnnt Tax DeciRiOn

Jndgde Gardner has over ruled the
demurrer Of the defendant. Fall River
county, to the complaint of the plqintin
Of the tax payers, upon the case Of the
illegality of the taxes of 1891 and 1892.
This throws the casl into the courts and
the plaintiffs attorneys. j. W. Fowler
and &. NJ. Cleveland, believe that this
first victory in the overriding Of the
demurrer virtually gives them victory
and knocks ont the taxes Of 1891 and
1892. The plaintiffs claim the tax WIS
i'll gal for several reasons principal OF
which is that the city board of equaliza-
ton for those years did not meet as re-
CURED by law and permit taxpayers to
app, ar before them with any grievances
thew might have concerning the assess
mint. The defendants are given twenty
days in which to answer.-Star.

The Entertainment

Given by the Custer Minstrels at the
opera house on Tuesday night was very
creditable, considering the fact Of its
hasty preparation, embracing but three
re hearsals. The performance as vari-
ed. and notably free from the tiresome
and tedious waits between acts, so
common to amateur entertainments.
The time worm, bewhiskered gags. which
have grown stale by endless repetition
were righteously ignored, and others of
special local significance, gotten up ex-
pressly for the occasion, were sub.
stituted with pleasing and amusing
effect. The great fistic contest between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons, an entirely
new burlesque, the creation of this COM
pany, and it's first appearance on any
stage, was a first water hit which will
be long remembered for its intensely
extravaPant and langhable features. 1t
was received with the n~oisiest and most
emphatic manifestations Of satisfaction
hat was ever accorded to an amateur
performance on the Custer boards.
The Trilby dance was also a well de-
fined hit. that kept the audience no ring
with laughter, the killing costumes OF
the ebony hued participants and the
ludicrous figures executed being especi.
ally myth provoking. A sensational
ballad sang by C. A. Wood. with piano
accompaniment by his sister, Mrs. b. II
Wood, wac a rare musical treat, and
deserves especial mention for its very
pleasing and faultless rendering.
An elaborate and specific account of
the entertainment would necessarilr
embrace Il number of personal compIi-
ments and some criticism Of u less COM
plimentary character, and we have
therefore concluded to avoid personal
mention as much as possible, continuing
onrself TO a reference to general features,
tho most prominent Of which. no one
viii have the assurance 20 question, was
Mark Willis feet, which we have not
sufficient space in this issue to describe.

al versus Fitzgerald Eros. of Lincoln,
wherein the defendants sought to re.
cover about $40. 900, the mount claimed
to be due from certain sub.contractors
on the B. & NJ. to merchants at Rapid
City for goods furnished. Not only did
the plaintiffs in this action fail 10 re.
cover the amount claimed to be due
them. but they now have the costs to
pay, which it is said mount to about
$4,000. The case has been stubbornly
fought since 1891 and il is said that
costs amounting to 81 ,400 were paid by
defendant some two years ago to take
the case ont Of this district. 1t is said
that the decision rendered by the
tribunal at Lincoln is final. This will
be a hard blow to the creditors of the
sub-contractors as it means a loss to

have come to the city that the killing of
deer in the southern Hills is being car
ried On without any regard whatever to
, the law governing the matter. Not only
have they been killed for private CON
sumption, but it is stated that vension
has been sold in Hill City and other
~neighboring camps. This is a matter
which should be looked into at once to
the end that this wholesale slaughter
may be effectually stepped.
