Black Hills, Yet-Ever Green.

Judging them from q distance the name
"Black Hills seems a very appropriate one for
this range of mountains. Notwithstanding the
fact that nature has clothed them from base TO
summit, throughout, with a rich foliage of
evergreen but man has blackened the
character of the place with deeds of ~villainy
ost damnable and dark; here, for years
following the early settlement, lurked the
blood smeared assassin, the offspring of Cain
here prowled the stage robber. the coyote in
human form here 1ourished for years the
foxy sneak thief. the ga mbler, sirens in album
dance, Judas plenty, and cattle rustlers and
horse thieves galore and when taken collec-
lively they gathered, festered and burst forth
upon the several communities until they be-
came as it we're, feted carbuncles attached to
the body OF civilized beings, warts upon the
face Of society, and blood tainted water blsters
upon the rump OF time. Many a deep, dark
canyon within the confines of these noted
Hills bears it's name in Difference TO some

from time to time, has been known to ou~.
Blossom and bring forth ripened fruit in a
single day and amidst the r~ustling foliage of
this famous tree many a luck1ess horse thief
has ripened and been plucked. One OF those
trees took root centuries ago on a high point
Of land just west of and overlooking the valley
upon which Rapid City now stands for gener-
ations this specimen extended its roots far
into the earth and along rock crevasses, spread
ing, the while. its many branches to the
breezes which from time to time caressed the
the face of this vast Wilderness; but the fates
withheld its fruitfulness until a city had been
within range OF this trees afternoon

and ere the sun had time to hide in shame
behind the nearby hills ripe fruit was plucked
by some of the would-be bon-ton of Rapid

Halifax, September 3.-Mr. Bodwell
continued his argument today on the
question raised by the United States
brief concerning the uncertainty of seal
ing. He went on to show that the cap
tains and crews employed on the British
vessels were competent men in every re-
spect and capable of making good catch
es if they had boon permitted to do so.
The Indians employed by these captains
were intimidated by the United States
vessel.
Mr.. Bodwell claimed that the evidence
furnished by Capt. Mclean on behalf
of the United States was taken from q
log that was kept by Capt Mclean as
private individual and afterwards de-
stroyed He disputed the claims of the
United States that these vessels were too
small for the dangers of the Behring Sea.
He claimed that all the arguments re-
garding the methods of fishing advanced
by the United States is in error He ap-
piled the same new work to the descrip-
ton of the habits of seals as submitted
in the United States brief
Taking up the question of duration of
the season in the Behring Sea, Mr.. Bod
well showed that vessels were able to re-
main in the sea until October.
