An Important Decision.

In circuit court Thursday Judge
Moore rendered a decision that will be
far reaching in its effects and will meet
with the universal approval Of prospec
tors throughout the western country.
The facts of the case were as follows /:
In 1895 Barney Garvey, VIM. Naddy,
John Striegal, s. ID. Burns, John Little
and Robert McShane owned the Bellamy
group Of mining claims. and in necem-
Der of that year they agreed hat George
Staiger might re locate the ground and
have one-third OF it, and the original
owners each hold one-ninth. Staiger
relocated ground as the Crown Point
group, and then decided the whole to
Burns, who in turn sold ii to VIM Selbie
for $1,000 and refused to give Naddy q
ninth Of the money. Naddy brought
the suit against Burns and selbie for
his ninth, and after the plaintiff. Naddy,
rested his case. Frawley & Laffey moved
to dismiss the case and the court sus-
tanned the motion, holding the contract
to be illegol and void, saying:
"This practice of relocating ground

Pigs in Clover.

The A merican pigs that Is what the
Spanish call u.s. are right in it; in the
clover, so to speak, as everything is 60
ing decidedly their way. The great
naval contest at Manila, which was ex-
pected would be a close, hard fight,
resulted in an easy victory and the utter
destruction Of the Spanish feet, with a
loss of 400 spaniards and small loss of
men on our side, the ships coming out
without material injury.
This signal defeat of the Spanisrds in
the first real battle ot the wal is far
reaching in it's effect, which must result
in the loss to Spain Of the PHILIPPINE
Islands, and will doubtless prove to be
the beginning Of the speedy end of the
war.
The next battle, which ia expected to
occur in Cuban waters, between the
American feet and the combined fleets
Of Spain, which in the event Of its oc-
~curreneeyit is but a reasonable SUPPOSE
ton will he q duplicate Of the Manila
affair, and result in a final climax to the
shortest and most brilliant war of
modern or ancient times.
The prospect for foreign intervention
in behalf Of Spain is not assuring, and
indications now point to the conclusion
that the two beligerents will be left 10
fight it out alone, in which event it is
plain to see the war will be brought to
a speedy and much to be desired end

Passed the Senate.

In our issue of last week was briefly
suggested the policy of the passage of
a law by congress, sxeDpting miners
who volunteer to serve in the pending
war from the performance of the annual
assessment work upon their claims
during their term Of service. 1t now
appears that the matter has enlisted
congressional attention, as We tote
among tho various war measures passed
by the senate on Monday, one provid-
ing that owners of mining claims shall
not forfeit them for not performing as.
sessment work upon them. provided
they enlist for the war, which measure
it is believed Will become q law.

The Election.

The annual election Of town and
school officers occurred on Monday, and
was marked by a greater degree Of en-
thusiasm than has been witnessed in
this place for many years. There being
but one ticket for town officers, the
interest centsred upon the school
tickets, the Citizens and the "Educa-
tional Reform the advocates Of each
working with undated zeal and vigor
from the opening to the closing of the
polls. The Citizens ticket, nominated
at a mass meeting where a number Of
ladies took part, and carried their point,
AS they very often do, met defeat at the
polls, the Educational Reform ticket
winning out by a majority Of about 50
in the total vote Of $50. 1t is believed
that fully $50 votes were cast by the
ladies which accounts for the unusual
large vote polled. The fair champions
of the two tickets were much in evi.
dence with their carriages, and a free
transit to the polls was the order during
the entire day. The officers elect are:

A Fond Farewell.

By reason Of some hitch IN the ar
engagements for transportation, Company
| did not leave this place for Sioux
Falls until Thursday evening, upon
which occasion every town, camp and
community IN the Southern Hills was
represented in the grand demonstration
given in its honor at the railroad depot.
Never before in the history Of this
place has there been assembled such a
vast crowd to extend the parting hand
and bid a fond farwell to departing
friends. The honored company was
formed in front of the armory at $50 D.
m, after which, headed by the Custer
band and under the escort Of the Grand
Army, with flags and banners, and amid
the peal of resounding cannon, marched
to the depot, where the vast multitude
had assembled. Upon the arrival Of
the company at the depot q thousand
tongues united in loud and prolonged
cheers for the brave soldier boys, which
were given with a will that gave un.
mistakable evidence Of their sincere
and ernest character. The briefinterim
intervening before the departure Of TIE
train was devoted to the expression Of
the final farewell's between the boys
and their weeping relatives and friends.
1t was a scene Of unusual sadness, and
many fearful eyes gave emphasis to the
deep sorrow hat prevailed in the hearts
Of those who were called upon to give
up, for an indefinite period, husbands,
brothers and sweethearts as a sacrifice
upon the altar of patriotism. When the
last %farewel's had been exchanged and
the company had entered the cars,
cheering was resumed with a degree Of
vigor and enthusiasm that has been
rarely equalled, and amid the booming
Of cannon and the continued cheering
the train pulled out, and some dis
lance up the track the final salute was
given by the Grand Army which had
taken such position with that special
purpose in view.
That a more ernest demonstration
upon the part Of any community toward
a company Of our country's defenders
upon their departure upon the mission
Of war, was ever witnessed anywhere,
We do not believe. Every heart beat in
friendly and harmonious unison, and
every tongue was loud in It's expression
of regard and good will. and il need not
be said that the auspicious event will be
held in the most sacred remembrance
by our people as loug as memory serves
to shape the trend Of human thought.
Following is a list of the names and
post office addresses Of the officers and
men comprising the company

A QUEER SUIT.
A Man is Sued For Giving Girl the
 ~ Measles.

From the Louisville Post.
 'I was called upon in 1878 to defend man who was charged with the most un- usual misdemeanor I ever heard of any clerk entering on court calendar" said a lawyer friend from the mountains Sun day. "A young farm hand came to me at the hotel where was stopping, my home being in another town, but my practice ex- tending to the county seat I was then in. The swain told me he had been charged by a girl, to whom he had been paying atten- tion, with giving her measles, she claiming that the disease, which had been epidemic in the neighborhood had been communicat- ed to her by kissing her repeatedly while the defendant was recovering from meas les.
 The girls surly father sued the badly alarmed defendant for $50 damages, claim ing he had expended that sum in doctors s bills for the afflicted daughter. My client pleaded guilty to kissing the plaintiff but said he couldn't a-helped it eff he'd ben a. mind ter and insisted that he had never had never had measles. l tried the case before kndhearted old squire and after the court had heard the testimony he deliv- cred a long opinion, in which he held that a girl as pretty as the plaintiff would make a boy risk measles and even dumb chills' to sip the sweets of her coral-like lips. The judge's jolly put both sides in good humor and the defendant two weeks later married the plaintiff and settled the costs of the suit to appease the wrath of her father"
