Keep AWAY from the Hills.

The influx of poor men into the Black
Hills, caused by the tlattering reports sent
out by imaginative newspaper correspond
ents, has induced the Terry Peak Miners
Union, which covers the territory in which
the new Ragged Top fields are situated, to
issue a warning to laborers advising them
to keep away from the Hills. The COM
mittee appointed to investigate the matter
reports that about 70 per cent. of the resi-
dents already living in the Ragged Top
regions are now idle. The resolution
drawn up by the committee ends with the
following: 1--WE would further recommend
that a.vote of censure be passed on all cor
respondents of the press who are in the
habit of writing fairy tales in order to
make their effusions readable This
warning has become necessary because
the number of "busted" men arriving in
this region has reached a point where u
halt must needs be called.

CAPT. MuNce SUSPENDED.
II. o. Department Official Charged
with Appropriating STAMPS,

WIFI hpprOprl0t1ng stamps.
Capt. Thomas Q. Munce, chief of the
stamp division of the postcfficc department
and n of the best known officials in
Washington, was suspended from office
indefinitely Wednesday by Postmaster
General Wilson on the charge of taking
stamps from the department without IL
tiority, and other employees are under sus-
ricion. The action is the outgrowth of the

certain dealers in Washington, one of
whom, Colman, vas subsequently arrested
with part of these stamps in his possession.

down by the supreme court in California.
Chief Justice Beatty alone dissented from

which is very lengthy, is devoted to
disposing of technical points raised
by the defense. Regarding the credi-
bility of witnesses, the court holds that
it is a matter for the jury alone to deter

against Durrant and declares it legal and
sufficient evidence upon which to base tile
verdict. Finally the court holds that the
proof of al underlying motive for the
crime is not essential. II is understood the

L MEN wlLL SUE.
Sioux Falls May BE Forced to Dis.
gorge &lO.O 900 License Money.

Sioux Falls is lively to have a serious
fight on its hands with the saloon men.
There are twenty saloons there which have
been paying Il license, contrary to law, of
$50 Il month. Since the passage of the
Boucll license bill the saloon men, Think
ing that the new law did not go into effect
until July l, decided that they would not
pay any more license, and directed Il petit
ton to the council declaring that business
was so poor that they could no longer af-
ford to pay the license.
After learning that the Bouck bill carries
the emergency clause, and will become IL
law at once, the saloon men decided to take
a new tack. They consulted attorneys and
received advice at that city was liable for
every dollar of money paid direct To the
city under the d%iSorderly house ordinance.
Having satisfied themselves that they could
recover from the city. they have pooled to-
gcthcr to employ the best of legal talent,
and they declare that suits will at one be
begun to recover.
1t is not known just how much the city
has collected, but it is in the neighborlloud
of $4,000. The announcement that suits
are To he begun has created a decided SELL
SatiOn. Various other communities of the
state have been collecting moneys from tile
saloons under ordinances similar to the one
used in Sioux Falls. If suits to recover
have standing in court, it is estimated that
suits 10 recover in the aggregate Ove $780,
