FOR A STREET RAILWAY
C. L. Jensen and Associates Ask for "a
Franch sc-Iine to Run from the
Plunge to the Catholicon.


At the council meeting Tuesday
night c. L. Jensen presented fran
chise granting himself and associates
the privilege of constructing u street
railway from the Plunge bath to the
Catholicon hotel-the franchise to
cover a period of twenty years. They
agree to have the track completed by
July 1st, 1898, and when the city at
tains population of 5000 agree to
propel the cars by electricity, before
which time they will use horses.
The petition of the property holders
along the streets traversed was referred
To a committee and the question will
come up before the council at it's meet
ing next Wednesday. If there is any
reason why this franchise should not
be granted and that without delay, the
STAR is not cognizant of it. We under
stand that Mr. Jensen's associates in
the enterprise we're here for some time
and we're we'll pleased with the outlook
and are willing to make the invest
llAent, and will begin operations this
fall. Hot Springs should welcome
them in the enterprise, for if there is
anything desired in city of such mag
nificent distances it is street car line,
and it will be but very few years before
it will be an electric syslem-for we
will have 5000 people before five years
roll around. At any rate no argument
should be necessary to induce our own
citizens to grant outside capital the
privilege of investment here-especial-
ly as the city would never attempt to
own it's street car systems.
This street car franchise will no doubt
pass without opposition.

A Great Injustice.

Attorney General Grigsby has rem
dered decision in which he holds that
half breed born of white man and
Indian woman is not an Indian in the
sense of the law; that he is not
ward of the government, says the
Rapid City journal. The decision
arose over the question of jurisdiction
in the case of half breed held at Pine
Ridge agency for murder. The gov
ernment refused to prosecute, holding
that it was not within the jurisdiction
of the United States court. The states
attorney of Fall River county will now
prosecute the case. This is great in
justice upon Fall River county. It is
about as inconsistent and unjust as a
thing could be. This gives the half
breeds the benefits that the govern
ment bestows upon the Indians and
half-breeds, but when the latter break
the laws of the government they are
thrown upon single county for pros
ecution. This is representation with
out taxation. 1t is snap for the half
breeds and snap for the government,
but an outrage upon the taxpayers of
Fall River county.
The attention of our congress
men and senator's should be called to
this and if this county must bear the
expense of prosecuting the half-breeds
of Shannon county for all the deviltry
they may perpetrate this county should
be allowed to make q tax levy upon
the personal property Of that county,
or else the government should reim-
burse Fall River county for all ex-
penses incurred. No such injustice
should be heaped upon the people.

KILLED In A COLLISION
a Cattle Train Crashes Into Another AT
Buffalo Gap and Kills T. A.
Vaughn of WhftewOO(l

"A distressing accident occurred on
the Elkhorn at Buffalo Gap Tuesday
night which resulted in the death of
one man. A special train of cattle in
charge of Conductor Pat Hayes
stopped at the Gap about 11:3O o'clock
to take water, standing on the main
track. The crew failed to flag the
train which followed them and in a
few minutes it came down the grade at
full speed crashing through the Ca
boose of the train which was at the
station. The engineer reversed his en-
gine, applied the brakes and with his
fireman jumped in safety. The crew
of the standing train had left the ca
boose and there was no one in it but
L. A. Vaughn, a prominent business
man of Whitewood. He had no chance,
if he even knew of his danger, to save
himself and was instantly killed. Un-
dertaker Joyce was summoned from
this city and went over on the morn
ing train and cared for the remains.
The deceased was frequently visitor
at Hot Springs with his wife and was
universally liked.
Other than in the deplorable death
of Mr.. Vaughn the collision did not re-
suit seriously. None of the stock were
killed aud beside the mashing of the
caboose and stripping Of the engine no
damage was done to the rolling stock.
1t is the first accident on this division
for years which has resulted seriously
| Grindings of the Council.
The city council met Tuesday and
Wednesday evening this week and had
had many important matters up fol
discussion.
The annual appropriation ordinance
amounting in all to s9,67S, passed its
first reading.
The Buffalo Gap Lumber Co. was
granted permission to use that portion
of Tenth street on the west side of the
creek. opposite the Bank of Hot
Springs, for use of lumber yard-the
company having secured the adjoining
property for their lumber yard.
A resolution was adopted instruct
ing the auditor to enter upon all war
rants the amounts of the appropria
tion of the fund, amount of the war
rant, and balance remaining in tn,
fund.
The water and light committee wa
instructed to investigate the proposit
tion of the w. L. s. P. Co. as to grant
ing city privilege to operate the fran
chises of the company during life o
franchises, paying six per cent o,
$50, 600, and to turn back the propert.

is received. The committee made ,
verbal favorable report, but postponed
definite action.
The Jensen street car franchise was
referred to special committee. TIL,

which the Indians formerly caught by

Further out on the plains rises the
DEVILS Tower, 600 feet above the sur
rounding surface perpendicularly and
from which point his Satanic majesty
must make frequent excursions into
the neighboring towns. One brave
woman scaled it not many months ago,
with the aid of stakes and hatchet and
planted the American flag on its sum-
nit where no man had ever dared go.
Next morning, leaving Spearfish
after an early breakfast, we retraced
the beautiful canyon, reaching Dead
wood in time to take the train for
Lead City four miles distant. Here
is found the Homestake mine, the
richest gold mine in the world. Three
sets of men are running it night and
day with enough gold quartz to keep
them at work for nine years. We
stopped in front of one shaft to watch
the descent of sixty men 500 and 600
feet below the surface. Lead City
with its 1900 inhabitants, who are all
connected directly or indirectly with
the mines, is several hundred feet
higher than Deadwood and like it
built in a canyon. Seeking place to
appease our appetite we entered a res
taurant emblazoned with posters of a
female base ball club. Before fairly
seating us the blonde waiting maid
said, "Be youse the base ball club?"
and DIR. Adams was kept busy telling
the natives we were daughters of mil
lionaires in the mountains.
Miss Blonde Waiter then asked us
what we would have for dinner, as we
were late for breakfast and too early
for dinner. After giving our order she
said, "but youse can't have but two
kinds of meat for quarter" Not be-
ing able to make her understand our
wants we finally accepted the quarter
conditions and showed the cook how
to turn over eggs in frying.

Miss Waiter, the Chinese: cook and the
kodak to the rear of the restaurant and
proposed to sell the curiosity labelled
'.Youse can't have two kinds of meat
for quarter" to pay for the quarters
spent there.
Stufiing our ears with cotton we
next visit the buildings where quartz is
chewed and digested by immense conf
cal blocks of iron. Tiring Of this ex-
ercise we went back to Deadwood to
prepare for our homeward journey, ar
riving at Hot Springs at 1890 p. M,
having left the army boys at Sturgis.
The sickness of one of our party caused
US to hurry our preparations and we
left Hot Springs next night for In
diana.
We left the Springs lingering to stay
and at leaving SO many pleasant COM
panions, but with the determination to
go again next year. The Elkhorn and
Northwestern attendants were lovely
| in their efforts to make our sick COM
panion comfortable, and have the
thanks Of our entire party.

THERE WAS WAR IN THE CAMP.
4 Hotter Incident Than the Hot
 Number Itself.

There was hot time in the Arizona Democrat office yesterday. J. M. Flemister, the reputed owner, stood with flashing eyes and an uplifted mallet, G ". McFarlin, ex foreman, ex-editor and ex corrector of the press, stood with eyes flashing in equal bril- liancy and 45 revolver trained upon an ink spot under Mr. Flemister's left eye. MT Flemister, who is not near sighted, moved farther away into the uttermOst corner of the room to get a better vlew Of the gun that he might determined its bore with mathematical accuracy. MT. McFarlih accomdat- ingly held it so that MT. Flemister's view was unobstructed. When MT Flemister had satisfied himself upon the point regarding which he had been curious, he lcwened the mallet and engaged in conversation with MT. McFarlin about matters and things which had happened within the preced- ing two eventful days.
 MT. McFarlin employed language which he had picked up in the course of twenty years residence among the mining camps and newspaper offices of Arizona He applied all this Ian guage to Mir. Flemister, and if that gentleman believed the half that Mr. McFarlin told him he must have been possessed of an inner consciousness that he himself was an unworthy member of society, a degenerate among degenerates.

"KERNEL" AND THE CAPITOL,

"Kernep Rogers, of the Courier, has inaugurated a war against the appropriation of $100,000 to erect a capitol building in Phoenix. He has enlisted the services of the Siyoer Belt in his willy scheme with a hidden meaning, and now if he can only induce the Arizona Demo crat to join the unholy crusade he will have a combination capable of creating a terrible stink among themselves, but not of the right character to affect public opinion in the least.
 The last legislature made the appropriation, and Delegate Smith has asked congress to confirm the act, which will be done at the next session. MT. Smith has only done his duty to his costituents but the "KerEep jumps onto him with both feet and shouts "boodle and bloody murder A few sour souled intellectual runts are chirp- ing amen and echoing the Courier tiresome, taxless walls. Rogers displays a woeful want of discre- tion Tn trying to cover up his petty Jealousy by continually crying re form. His real grievance lies ir the fact that the capitol is to be built in Phoenix, and not at g whistling station on the north and south road.
 However, the broad-mindeC people of the Territory recognize Phoenix as the proper place fol the capitol, and will rejoice in the erection of a handsome and inn posing statehouse. The people O. Phoenix and the Salt River valley pay almost half the taxes of th' Territory, and if they are willing to carry the big end of the burden certainly no one else should com plain.
