Captain Martins Funeral.

The funeral services of the late Capt.
j. w. Martin were largely attended last
Sunday afternoon, at the homo of j.
n. Miner. The deceased had requested
that when he should die no sermon
be preached but that the family hold
memorial services. Consequently
after Rev. Clough had spoken most
eloquently and fittingly of the life of
the good man that had departed, the
sons, Il. w. and G. W., and son-in-law,
Rev. j. o. Dobson, each had something
to say of the family life of 'father y
1t was a very touching and impressive
service, to hear the sons relate the joys
of home life with loving father. At
times there was scarcely dry eye i'll
the house. The choir sweetly sang the
songs that the deceased had selected
for the occasion. A large number of
friends followed the remains to Ever
green cemetery where all that was
mortal of James w. Martin was placed
by the side of the wife who had gone
before.
The relatives of the deceased feel
very grateful to the many friends for
their kindly interest and sympathy
and requested the STAR to make public
Acknowledgement of their gratitude.

The Pops Nominate Levi McGee.
The Rapid City Journal gives the
following brief account of the populist

Tile Pops Nominate Levi Mc(iee.
The Rapid City Journal gives the
following brief account of the populist
convention:
The populist judicial convention was
held Saturday afternoon at Hermosa
and was largely attended by the dele
gates from all three counties. The
delegates from Custer and Fall River
counties did all that laid within their
power to nominate a candidate from
one or the other of their counties but
in this they failed. The convention
was in continuous session for over four
hours, but from what could be learned
last evening the most of the time was
consumed in speech. making by the
delegates. The convention was presid-
ed over by R. w. Windsor, of Custer
while Edmund Smith of Rapid was the
secretary.
On the first ballot McGee received
twenty two votes, b. r. Wood seven
and one-third, Cleveland fifteen and
two-thirds.
The second ballot resulted the same
as the first.
The third ballot resulted in MCGEE
receiving twenty-three and two-ninths
votes, Wood ten votes, Cleveland seven
and seven ninths votes.
On the fourth and last ballot Wood
withdrew his name in favor of Cleve-
land, and the ballot being taken result
ed in McGee receiving twenty -four and
two-ninths votes to twenty and FIVE
ninths cast for Cleveland. After the
result of the ballot was announced the
of MCGEE was made unani-
nous.

Hundreds of instances bearing out

Springs, gone away completely cured.
Hundreds of instances bearing out
the truth of these statements might be
given, but perhaps the strongest evil
dence that Hot Springs waters possess
all that is claimed for them is to be
found in the results of the visit of a
detail of aged veterans of the Civil
War. These men we're occupants of
the Soldiers Home at Leavenworth,
Kansas, and were, three summers ago,
sent to Hot Springs to undergo treat
ment. Their ailment varied as great
ly as did the men themselves; in fact
one would imagine that, in them, the
possibilities of human suffering had
been exhausted. Out of thirty, feeble
from old age in addition to disease, all
but two were entirely cured, and those
two were materially benefited. So
convincing was this test considered
that on March Is, 1894, the military
committee of congress designated Hot
Springs as the best location in the
United States for the proposed Nation
al sanitarium for veterans.
Senator Pettigrew secured the pass.
age of bill in tn, senate last winter
to locate and erect National santa
rum at Hot Springs. in accordance
with the above suggestion, and it will
become a law before long.
As for baths one can get anything in
that line he wants. Here is the list:
Russian baths, Turkish baths, fomen-
tation, vapor, needle baths, plain min
eral baths. mud baths, in fact every
bath which is conducive to health.
One could write for week of the
beauties of this wonderful resort, and
not describe half of the wonders. We
have the Wind Cave, Onyx Cave, Bat
tie Mountain, Cascade Springs, Min
nekahta Falls, Cheyenne Falls, all
within few miles, and then right in
town we have the wonderful plunge
bath.
The hotels of this charming little
city have accommodations for 1875
guests, and the list is headed by the
Evans with capacity for $50 guests.
This is one of the monu .nents of the
enterprise and industry of Fred Evans,
one of the Black Hills pioneers. Fred
looks as vigorous and hearty as he did
in 1875, when he, with other Sioux
Cityites. braved the dangers of trip
into the Hills. Fred and the writer
visited the plunge bath one day last
week, and goodly number were en-
joying the crystal waters. Il Every
train brings excursionists from all
parts of the country, and the Soldiers
Home is one of the first points of in
terest for all excursionists.
The Home was nicely decorated with
flags on the 4th and the veterans en-
joyed the occasion. Service was held
in the chapel at o'clock. There are
1863 veterans enrolled at the Home, but
number are absent ON furlough at
present. The Home has every accom-
mediation necessary to the comfort and
happiness of any man, and God knows
there is nothing too good for the aged
men who risked their lives that our
nation might lives. ARTHUR LINN,

Might Have Been Still More Sensational.
The Chadron Recorder of July 18th
tells the following sensational story
concerning a couple from Oelrichs:
"a wayward wife, a minister of the
gospel and furious husband we're the
trio that came near furnishing Chadron
with u tirst-class sensation of the blood
and thunder order yesterday.
"Theodore Reaser came down from
Oelrichs Wednesday night in search of
his wife, who, he said, had run away
supposedly with minister named
Stoneman.
"An investigation developed the fact
that both parties had been staying at
tho Blaine. and though occupying sep
arate rooms, their conduct was such as
90 warrant Landlord Satterlee to order
them to leave the house. They took
his advice and left a few hours before
the arrival of Reaser, the woman's hus.
band.
'Reaser is Il merchant of Oelrichs
who registered as Mullin of Rapid City,
is said to be "a prominent divine of the
same city. His wife diedten days ago.
Reaser was undecided as to his future
course in the matter. He said he met
Stoneman aud his wife at Wayside
when he was coming to Chadron. hut
knowing that Stonenan had "a gun.
while he was unarmel, he did not
molest him.
The Chadron Journal says that Mr.
Reaser has already employed an attor-
ney to proceed to obtain divorce
from his unfaithful wife.
The guilty pair was informed by the
people of Oelrichs that it would be
healthier for them if they would quit
the town, ond they did so. going east
together Friday night.

WALLACEKILLs A MAN.
Robert Wallace and John II. Brown Have
Personal Encounter and Wal
lace shoots brown


Word was received i'll the city last
Saturday morning that Bob Wallace
had shot and killed IL man named John
H. Brown, while quarrelling the evening
before. Deputy Sheriff Don Mckinley
and States Attorney Anderson imme-
diately repaired to the scene of the
tragedy, in the extreme southern part
of tha county, on the Nebraska line
Upon their arrival there Sunday morn
ing they found the remains of the dead
man lying in the hay meadow where he
had fallen when shot, and Wallace, who
did the shooting, was guarding the
body and had not left it since the fatal
bullet was fired, claiming that he want
ed the officers to see it just as it fell.
The officers found that that Brown
had been shot, the ball entering the
left eye and coming out at the back of
the head. After examining the sur
roundings and taking measurements
of the land where the men had been in
personal combat, the body of the de-
ceased was turned over to relatives for
burial, as it was not in condition for
keeping longer. DIR. Nickerson, of
Edgemont acted as coroner, by appoint
ment, and made careful examination
of the body.
Wallace gave himself over to the
officers and was taken to Edgemont,
where a coroners jury was empanelled,
consisting of G. G. Jarman, Geo. w.
Highley and John Craven, with DIR.
Nickerson as coroner. They began
taking the evidence Monday morning
at ten o'clock and were still so engaged
when the last word was received from
there Wednesday evening.
We are told that there we're two wit
nesses to the affair, but have not been
able to hear what they testify to, ex-
cepting that it tends to exonerate Wal
lace, who claims that he killed Brown
in self defense.
Wallace and Brown were putting up
hay together and we understand that
Wallace claims that Brown had been
beating his wife, and when they came
upon the bayfield, Friday afternoon to
go to work Wallace said that he pro-
posed to declare their partnership Off
for he would have nothing to do with
a wife-beater, whereupon Brown attack
ed Wallace and they had personal
encounter lasting some time. Each
scored Il knock down or two. when
finally Wallace claims that Brown
pulled out a jack knife saying there's
going to be a killing right here," and
he rushed at Wallace in an effort to
stab him. Wallace claims to have
backed off and tried to keep away from
Brown, warming him that he had better
stop. Finally Wallace says he hit
Brown with the butt of his revolver,
and then shot into the air to scare
Brown, who was getting more desperate
After long struggle Wallace fired at
Brown and the fatal deed was done
That, we are informed, is the substance
of Wallace story.
The coroner's jury is evidently max
ing a thorough investigation of the
cuse-which justice demands.
