rcnnington's Court House Burned.

Pennington county has for the Sec
ond time within eight months suffered
the total loss of its court house by fire,
the last occurring Thursday night at
II o'clock, resulting in more nearly a
total destruction of the new building
than the first fire did of the old build.
ing. The new building was almost COM
pleted, and it is presumed that the fire
started from stove that was being used
to dry the plastering. When discovered
the entire building was afire, and before
the firemen could make any impression
the building was in ruins. After the
first fire the county of Pennington had
some trouble in settling with the COM
pany in which the old building was in
sured, the total insurance being lit
tie less than $4,000, which the company
refused to pay, upon the recommen-
dations of its adjuster, j. +. Edmonds.
OH the ground that the building was
not a complete loss. The company
rendered $1,000 for the loss, which was
refused, and the company then agreed
to rebuild the court house, which was
accepted, and the contract was awarded
for the sum that the company had tend
cred for the loss. The contractors had
not yet turned the building over to the
county, but they were partially pro-
tccted by an insurance of $1,000. There
is a great deal of talk about incendiar-
ism, but there is no ground for this
suspicion save that it was peculiar
fire.

NEW ROAD FOR THE HILLS.
Capital Secured for the Completion of
Rapid City-NIystic Line.


The following special to the Pierre
Journal from Rapid City revives in
terest in the old Mystic railroad scheme:
In tie palmiest days of Rapid City
great things were expected and hoped
for in the building of the Dakota, Wyo-
ming and Missouri River railroad from
this city up into the Hills to Mystic,
distance of thirty miles. The enter
prise was backed by eastern capitalists,
together with the business men of the
city. The road was surveyed aud
graded nearly the entire distance, and
rails were laid about twenty miles, be.
ginning from the end of the line. For
some reason money failed, and work
ceased forthwith, aud nothing further
has been done since. During this time
w. ID. Coad, president of the company,
has been in the east endeavoring to en-
list more capital, and he has at last
succeeded. There was recently filed
in the United States land office in this
city by the chief engineer of the Da-
kota Pacific railroad complete maps of
the location of the old line to Mystic.
These maps have been transmitted to
Washington for approval The COM
pany acquires the right of way for five
years from date of location. The road.
when completed, means great things
forthe southern Hills. There are manv
rich mining prospects along the road
which have never been developed be-
cause of there not being a way of trans
portation to the mills. 1t means that
the chlorination plant in Rapid City,
which is the largest in the Hills, will
resume operations once more and the
several machine shops and foundries
which have been shut down for some
time will be reopened. The old hope
of the extension of the road across the
reservation is again revived, which
means SO much to the Black Hills.

The east bound Elkhorn passenger

Judge Gardner opened court for
Fall River county in this city Tuesday
morning. The forenoon was spent in
the assignment of cases, and in the af-
ternoon the grand jury was charged.
There were several matters for them
to consider, the first taken up being
the case of William Wallace charged
with killing Brown last summer near
Ardmore. The John Rondo case, in
which Rondo is charged with beating
half-breed boy to death on the reser-
walton, was another of the cases sub
mittcd to the jury for consideration.
Several motions were argued also dur
ing the afternoon pertaining to the
cases mentioned.
Wednesday morning the case of the
state versus Wilson, which was contin-
ued from the last term of court, was
taken up and IA jury drawn totry it. Will
! son, who livedneur Oelrichs, is charged
with stealing some horses belonging to
man named Cramer, who lives near
Edgemont. The horses we're stolen by
Rawley Sanford, IL man VINO has been
i'll Cramer's employ, and who was sent
to the penitentiary at the spring term
of court for it, Afterwards the horses
were taken up 10y some Indians, ac-
cording to the statement of the defence.
who were in the county, and left by
them near Wilson's ranch Wilson
worked the horses occasionally, they
running with his own animals and eat
ing his feed. Inspector Long found
Wilson working the horses one day.
and was informed by the latter that
they were strays, and that he had told
every one he saw about them. but that
he had been unable to find an owner.
Long said the matter would be investi-
gated, and asked Wilson to come to the
Gap with him and see what Cramer
was going to do about it. Wilson went,
and was informed that Cramer would
make no complaint. After Sanford
was sent up Wilson was indicted as an
accessory of the crime by having the
animals in his possession. and is being
tried on that charge.
After argument the Jury returned
verdict of not guilty.
