she proved to be disappoin tment to At
torney Kierce. for she said she had always
considered Mrs. Clara Moholy good
mother, and had never seen anything out
OF the way in her conduct.
Mrs. Nonnerman explained that she had
no time to visit her neignbors because she
has four young children, tax all her
time. She was never in Mrs. Moholy's
home except on the occasion of her hus-
bands death, but had often seen the lady
passing on the street and had noticed that
she ke pt her children in good condition.
This ended the testimony for the peti.
toner, and continuance until the 18th
inst. was granted for the purpose of hear
ing testimony on behalf of Mrs. Moholy,
the mother of the children.

pose of taking the necessary steps in the
direction indicated, at which he Will be
present, if notified, and aid in getting
the matter started. This matter, by
reason of its important character, should
receive early attention, and the CHRoN-
IcLE earnestly hopes it may not be over
looked. or long delayed, as the benefits
TO be derived from a crcdi.able exhibit
can scarcely be over estimated as a
medium of advertising our resources
inasmuch as it will attract the attention
of capitalists from all parts Of the world,

yicted at Belle Fourche yesterday, and
sentenced by Judge Gifiey of Pierre TO

crime was almost revolving in its nature.
He was intoxicated at the time, and
had been shaking dice with the latter'S
saloon, some slight dispute arising bet
ween them. A short time afterwards
Iokum WAS on the street creating n
disturbance and Barnes demonstrated
with him in a friendly way. At this
Iokum drew a large knife and thrust it
up to hilt in Barnes abdomen twice in
quick succession. He was arrested at
once and rs soon as it became known
hat Barnes could not live, he was
brought to Deadwood to avoid a lynch

and a change Of venue WAS talen from
before Judge Plowman, who called in
Judge Gaffy, Nine o~fthejury that tried
Gokum were for murder in the first de-
gree, while three stood out obs,inately
for acQuittal. A compromise was finally
effected on a verdict for a life sentence.
Great dissatisfaction was fit at Belle
Fourche, and there we're grave fears of
lynching last night.-pioneer-Times.

fired FIVE shots, everyone of which took
