Peak Tin company will be redeemed
and that money for that purpose will

for ifhe is, and the truth Of it must soon
be established, it would indicate at least,
that for the present the company is not

The number of Southern cattle placed
on this range this year will not reach
anywhere near that usually brought in,
as the S%outherners are holding their
cattle at from $500 to 5000 per head
higher han in past years. This will
keep the Southern cattle at horoe, as
stockmen say there is not enough in
them at the prices at which they are
held. Some Minnesota and Iowa young
cattle will come in, but the price is too
high for a proit.-Stockman.

Y The Custer fire bell, as a medium of
alarm, is a fiat failure. Citizens located
one or two blocks distant from it, man
of them, failed to hear its weak and
stifled peals on the occasion of the fire
on Sunday night, as has been the case on
numerous previous occasions. Many Of
the COW bells In use in this vicinity give
out a sound of greater volume, and
would be preferable to the Custer fire
bell for alarm purposes. True it is that
we have no means of putting out fires,
which, to some extent, lessons the nec-
essity for a louder bell, but the fact
should be bourn in mind that many of
our citizens who are located beyond the
symptom Of a sound Of this mild apology
for a fire bell, are anxious to be alarmed
when a fire breaks out, SO that they may
enjoy the pleasure Of witnessing the
blazes, and in view of this fact, it might
be advisable to substitute a country cow
bell for the "poor parody" now in use.

A. D. Clark, of Iowa Falls, Iowa, who
has valuable coal interests in Fall River
county, and large mining interests in
the northern Hills, spent several days
in this place during the week. Mr..
Clark is contemplating the removal of
his family to the Hills, his business
being largely confined to this region,
and as he is the owner of residence
property in this city, it is not improb.
able that he may decide to locate per-
m%anently in this place. The fact that
he has a building contractor figuring on
substantial improvements upon his
residence building, would indicate that
he had already decided to make Custer
his future home, which cannot be other.

covering a few days ago, what promises
to be valuable placer ground, near the
mouth ofRuby Gulch. They commenced

They are somewhat handicapped how

Propositions Before the Legislature

Of the two houses held Il Joint session
after adjournment yesterday afternoon to
give a hearing to persons interested in sew
eral propositions for new judicial circuits
and the arrangement of old ones. The
facility with which four bills for new
courts have gone through this session has
aroused a belief that others can go
through. and now the committee has be-
fore it propositions to divide the Rush
Decatur and Shelby-Bartholomew districts
and a plan for a different arrangement so
as to give Elkhart a separate circuit The
opponents Of the plan TO divide Decatur
and Rush and create a new circuit OF the
latter county charge that the chief neces-
sity for II lies in the minds or the friends
of Representative Watson. who VIII ask to
have him appointed judge OF the new CIR,
cult. Both sides of the case were listened
To yesterday.
The first proposition in the Elkhart mat
ter was 10 cut Lagrange off from klkhart
and put il with Steuben and De kalb, but
there was such strong objection 10 this
from all these counties that II was ADAM
doned. Now the plan is 10 put Lagrange
with Noble. which would be very agreeable
10 the Lagrange people, but In that case
they would not know what TO do with
