violent temper and at one time was
under arrest for having attacked a
young man with an ak. Public senti
ment is outspoken and decided in its
opinion as to who is the guilty man, but
without more evidence than that at
hand, nothing can be done.
"Garlock, the deceased, was twenty.
two years Of age. He came here from
Spearfsh, S. d., and has a brother living
at Custer, S. d. He has relatives also
in New York. He was a quiet, steady
young man, very popular with his as.
sUciates. That he should come to such
a sad end is more than deplorable and
it is especially shocking because the

instincts lower than that of a dogs,

the jury waited until Monday for
the verification of DR.. Traphagen who
examined the stomach, when it adj
journed with a verdict in substance as
we have related it. The stomach was
found to contain poison enough to kill
and the only wonder is that all the men
who partook Of the sugar were not
killed. The inability of the jury to
fas,en the horrible crime upon some
one is greatly regretted. But it is an
inevitable result of the devilish and
dastardly stealth which deliberately
planned the death of men as if they
were so many rats.
IT. V. Garlock, brother Of the dead
man arrived on Monday morning from
Custer, s. d.. accompanied by Sheriff
Frank Walsh of the same place. They
ordered the remains sent back to Phelps,
N. Y, where the dead man formerly
lived. They visited the scene OF the
poisoning and investigated the case
thoroughly, but like our officers were
unable to do anything. From them We
learned that young Garlock had prop
erty in South Dakota aud was unmarried.
He had been in this valley two years.
T. V. Garlock. brother of the poisoned
man, is a prominent business man OF
Custer and he came to Bozeman to make
a thorough Investigation. On leaving
for home he and Mr.. Walsh, who is
related to the deceased, expressed their
satisfaction in which the officers and the
coroner's jury had handled the case.
They also felt grateful for the sympathy
expressed by the people ofthis city, who
regret exceedingly that the guilty can
not be brought to justice. They found
that young Garlock had warm friends
here. 1t is also learned that he came
into a legacy of $4,000, which he had left
untouched until he got ready to settle
down. He got $500 recently for county
warrants and 7. ", at first, Aom the

A Fripntful Accidant.

Engine No. 1S6 on the Burlington
blew up near the top of the Crawford
hill early yesterday morning, throwing
the engineer and fireman nearly four
hundred feet and instantly killing both.
The engine had been helping pull a
freight to the summit and was starting
on its return down the grade when the
explosion took place.
While the cause of the accident can
never be known to a certainty it is the
supposition that the following theory
is the correct one Beth men had
recently been brought from the main
line east Of Lincoln and consequently
inexperienced in the conditions on
this branch. The water used on the
part Of the road where the accident
occurred contains more or less alkalai
which oftentimes foams in the water
gage and to an inexperienced engineer
gives the impression that there is plenty
of water in the boiler when in reality
there is very little. 1t is supposed that
this caused the explosion. Neither of
the men are very well known on this
end of the road although it is said the
engineer (Simpsou) once fred on the
Black Hills division.-Tribune.

Dogs fer Klondike.

One Of the old timers in this country,
T. L. Hunter, who has been working
for the Union Hill company the past
year, has resigned and is making ar
engagements TO start for Klondike, taking
with him n novel cargo dogs. He is
gathering all the dogs he can find and
intends to select a carload ofthe CANNES
for his klondike experiment. Dogs in
the Alaskan country are considered
valuable because Of their endurance and
agility in climbing over the lev sleeps
and crossing the dangerous passes. MIR.
Hunter believes that an assortment of
Black Hills dogs would fird a ready
market in the KIond Ike. He is a prac-
tiral mining man, having been in the
Hills in the early days and has spent
several years since in Colorado.-Dead-
wood Independent.
1t is TO he devoutly hoped ihat, in his
search for dogs, Mr.. Hunter will not
overlook Custer, where, notwithstand-
ing the fact Of the supply having lately
been materially reduced by reason of
the mad dog scare, there sill remains a
surplus awaiting the mlflment
Of some useful mission which. il would
seem, is not open to them in this place.

burned Again.

AT ten minutes OF eleven last evening
the cry of fire rang out, and soon after
wards the loud tones of the fire bell
called from their slumbers a large por-
ton of Rapid City's people to find that
for a second lime within a few months
Pennington %county's court house was
one mass of flames. The building was
nearly rebuilt, it being expected that
the county officials could occupy their
Offices at the end Of two weeks.
The fire had made such Roadway that
nothing could he done to stop il and
within an hour, although the firemen
worked hard, the beautiful new court
house was once more only smoking
brick walls bearing scarcely a resem.
blance TO their former appearance. The
entire inside burned ont, the wreck be-
ing much greater than at the first fire.
The hour being SO late ard the excite
ment SO intense the full particulars can
scarcely be given. Miss Lottie Ingersol
was the first to discover the fire, the
flames at that time having burst from
the southeast window. The cause of
the fire is unknown, put it is certainly
has a mysterious look. Hugh MchIahon
was in the building ut $50 p. m. when
everything was all right, there being
one fire for drying purposes. He was to
go again at midnight, as he did every
night, to r~eplenish the fire. The stove
had a sand box around it and he left
everything in good share. The CON-.
tractors for rebuilding have a builders
insurance Of 5000, but that is scarcely
enough to rebuild again. If not ont of
order the writer suggests that asbestos be
used the mex time for the inside of the
building at least. The fire is greatly to
be regretted and the Journal at this
late hour especially, has not words at
command TO properly express the enor.

of the cattle industry around the Black
Hills may be gathered from the reports
of the number shipped to the eastern
markets during the season, now about
to terminate. The reports show that,
during the months Of August, Septem-
Der and October, the Burlington carried
about 100000 head, an average of about
$500 head pei day, requiring the en-
ployment Of an average Of five extra
