Robinson's circus train met with what
might have been a very serious acct
dent on Tuesday morning about three
miles from SturSis while en- route to
Rapid City where the show was billed
for a performance in the afternoon and
evening of that day. The origin Of the
accident which caused the partial de.
railing of the train, was the giving way
Of the diamond brace securing one set
of axles and wheels to the trucks, allow
ing the wheels to leave the track, and
tearing up the rails and ties for a dis
lance of about 400 yards. The train was
stopped in the nick Of time in a very
perilous position in the middle of a
bridge. Fortunately only the car with
the wrecked truck left the track, other
wise the results would have been of a
fatal character. The delay thus occa-
stoned caused much disappointment at
Rapid, where a large number of people
had came in to see the great show,
which was unavoidably compelled to
cancel its date for that place.

A Store Burgalarized.

The general store of Il. V. Garlock was
entered by an unknown party, or parties,
on Sunday night and a number OF
watches, watch chains and gold rings
taken to the value Of about $3.50. The
entrance was effected by prying open
the rear door of the second story, and
from there entrance to the store room
was made by way Of the elevator. The
exit was made through a basement win
dow. A number Of tramps were seen
around the town prior to the robbery,
but thus far no clue to the real culprits
has been obtained, although every effort
is being made by the officers of the law
to bring about their apprehension.

Black Hills Soldiers,

The following communication appear
ed in a recent issue of the Deadwood
Pioneer Times:
KEYSTONE, S. d., June |, '98.
Editor Deadwood Pioneer-Times (:
Whereas, we are pleased to note the
patriotism of our state and the claim
that Pierre thus far furnished more
men than any other town of equal size
and population, l, as a member Of the
Black Hills section for t~wenty-one years,
throw down the gauntlet and declare
that the Black Hills section hiss furnish
ed and will furnish (if called upon
more men than any other like radius in
South Dakota. The little town of Gus.
ter, with all its backsets, has already
furnished II company of infantry, and
now has in the governors military de-
partment ready for action, a muster roll
of III enlisted men, and three officers.
1t is safe to say, should the ~exigencies
of the service demand it, that the Black
Hills will furnish in all, at least two
full regiments of patriotic fighters, who
love freedoms soil and freedoms BAN
ner, and fear not.

VIII Celebrate.

At a meeting held in the court house
on Saturday night it was decided to
celebrate the 4th Of July in Custer this
year. The meeting demonstrated the
fact that, notwithstanding the large
number Of patriots the place has fur
nished for the war, there still remains a
goodly number of patriotic citizens who
are DESTROYS of taking part in a fitting
celebration Of Independence Day on
July 4th next, and an executive com-
mittee consisting Of /. NJ. Donaldson,
John McFadden and T. V. Garlock was
appointed with instructions to report at
a meeting called for tonight in the court
house, upon which occasion it is especi-
ally desired that there be a full attend.
ance on the part OF our citizens.
The sentiment, as expressed at the
meeting, was largely in favor of celebrat
ing the day, and with a proper effort on
the part Of our citizens one of the most,
If not the most creditable celebration
aver held in the Pioneer City will be
the pleasing result. Custer, formerly
noted for her grand celebrations of this
character, has not given any celebra-
ton Of this kind for some years, giving
way for other places, and it is now a
fitting time to resume our former GUS
tom, and give free and full vent TO the
pent up patriotic continent that has
ever characterized the citizens Of this
promising and progressive section of
Uncle Sans broad domain.

efforts of the Republican administration
through its Senators and representatives
to fasten the clutches of the Money
Power on this would be free country
by issuing TO capitalists hundreds Of
millions of interest bearing bonds, so
they can live on the interest without
labor. Instead of bonds bearing inter
est we favor the coming of the senior
age, and all silver bullion now in the
United States treasury, and the issue of
treasury notes payable in coin, mean
ing either silver or gold, at the option
Of the government.
We believe in this governments right
and duty to say what shall be its own
legal tender money Of final redemption
aud that this governments promise to
pay is just as good on a treasury note
not bearing any interest as it is on a
bond paying interest to the money
power.
We believe in an American system
Of finances constructed solely with re-
ference to the best interests Of this
country, and not for the greater benefit
of any other nation.
The following resolution Of instruc-

Resolved, That the delegates of
Custer county to the state convention
at Aberdeen, are instructed to use all
honorable means in their power to
bring about a coalition Of the bimetalic
forces in the coming campaign.
