Timber Cases.

The Pioneer Times in recent issue
has the following in regard to the tim
Der cases recently tried at Sioux Falls
which will be Of interest to our local
readers
Hon. Z. w. Martin at the recent term
Of the United States court at Sioux
Falls. was the attorney for the defense
in a number of important timber cases
and in a majority Of which he was
successful. We learn that he presented
number of new and important ques
tions bearing upon such prosecutions
and secured rulings upon them not
only to the advantage of his clients, but
Of considerable interest to the Black
Hills generally. Probably the mos
important question he thus raised anC
had decided in the interest of his clients
was that, under the law, only
the actual trespasser upon the public
lands can be convicted That is, in pur
suance ofth argument Of Mr.. Martin
the court held that the purchaser o.
lumber manufactured from public tim
Der cannot be convicted, such a one moi
being in contemplation of the law, g
wrong-doer, only the one who cuts the
trees from the public domain being
liable fol his conduct. 1t is easy to see
that this decision may be of great inter
est to those buying lumber, as it has
been heretofore believed that they
were liable to prosecution in case they
had reasons to know that such lumber
was made from trees actually belonging
to Uncle Sam. Another matter decided
as We are advised, was that a corpora,
ton, not being person capable Of pun
ishment, wa3 not liable to prosecution
for cutting timber. The decision obtain,
ed by Mr.. Martin, though not affecting
the civil liability of anyone on account
of the cutting or handling of lumber
taken from the public lands, must
necessarily have great effec. upon fut.
ure prosecutions by the government
against citizens of the Black Hills. The
cases in which Mr.. Martin was on the
defense are the following: The indct.
ment against Simonson Bros. of ALI.
ance for purchasing and transporting
lumber from Custer to Alliance, was
dismissed.
The two cases against the NJ. j. Bailey
company of Custer, for cutting timber
also dismissed.
In one case against Odo Reder of Gus
ter for cutting timber on placer claim,
verdict of not guilty.
In another case against Odo Reder for
cutting timber to export, the jury re
turned verdict of guilty. Mr.. Martin
made motion for new trial which has
not been decided,
In action against G. E. Boyden of Gus.
ter for cutting timber on placer claim
he was found guilty. A motion for a
new trial is still pending.
The prosecution of Gulik Gulikson oi
Sturgis for cutting timber on military
reservation, was ended by the discharge
of the defendant.

1t was not long ago that the inanciers
of Europe proclaimed, that Uncle Sans
credit was not as good as it should be,
and that we needed more money. They
coupled this with the remark that I'VE
have money to loan on United States
bonds, but they must be made payable
mot in coin butt in gold. On this basis
they were willing to loan $200,000,000.
Now our government has tried the ex-
pertinent Of borrowing from our own
people, by asking them to take $200, ,000,-
600 of coin bonds, and they respond by
not only taking these, but asking for
more, until their bid now amounts to
$l2,000,000, instead of $200,000,000.
This has had the effect Of opening the
eyes of Uncle Sam, and in the future he
will not be bulldozed by the foreign
bankers to the extent which he has in
the past. We have good many shrewd
business men in America, and they
realize that we haye not only tho best
government, but the richest country
under the shining sun, and do not, and
have not at any time, needed to borrow
from any other nation on earth.

IRISH FAIR IN BROOKLYN.
Each Province Has a Booth.
President Grout PreSideS,
but His Throat Is Too
Sore for a Speech.

The Irish Fair, under the auspices of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Kings
county; was opened at the clermont
Avenue Rink in Brooklyn Saturday night
with enthusiasm on the part of the pro-
moters and liberality on the part of the
patrons.
The doors of the rink were thrown open
at Z O'Clock and the formalities took
place an hour later. President Grout, Of
the Borough of Brooklyn, presided, but
was unable to speak on account of an
operation recently performed on his
throat. The Grafton of the evening was
made by St. Clair McKelway.
There were four main booths and an
auxiliary booth. Mrs. Miles McKeon
had charge of the Province of Leinster
booth; Mrs. c. d. Strong, the Province of
Ulster booth; Mrs. X. A. Barrett, of the
Province of Munster booth, and Miss
Maude Brown, of the Province of Con-
naught booth. Miss M. McErlane pre-
sided over the auxiliary booth, which was
sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians.
The donations to the booths made up a
magnificent display and the decorations
of the hall were beautiful. The fair is in
good hands and promises to be a great
success.
The fair is an effort OH the part of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians to raise
funds for the erection of a clubhouse
and hospital in East New York. The
clubhouse is to be rallying place for all
the Irishmer of Brooklyn.
The interior of the big rink was fitted
up and decorated to represent an Irish
village in holiday attire. The pretty
Irish girls in the costume of the Emerald
Isle, who tended the booths and pictur
esque matched huts, were the attractive
features of the fair.

LOUISVILLE DETECTIVES.

One of the strongest evidences that
Louisville possesses a superior detective
force is the following Associated Press
dispatch concerning the steps being
taken in Pittsburg to protect visitors to
that city during the Knights Templar
Conclave, which will be attended by
many thousands of strangers. The dis
patch was as follows:
Detective talent, the best in the coun-
try, will be in Pittsburg next week to
guard against thieves and general crooks
who are likely to invade the city with
the many that will come in for the grand
conclave of the Knights Templar. Roger
OMara, Superintendent of Pittsburg's
Bureau of Detectives, has employed his
knowledge of the men of other cities in
selecting from among their number those
properly qualified to give their best serv-
ices here. He has assurances that twenty
large cities will send men. The person.
mel represents the best thief catchers in
the country. Denver sends in the person

Detective McCrath, of St. Louis, and

one, and the Pittsburg officials would be

NARROW ESCAPE.
Col. Mike Muldoon Injured
While Alighting from
Street-Car.

Col. Mike Muldoon narrowly escaped
serious injury at Baxter and Highland
avenues last Tuesday evening. He had
a hard fall from a street-car, but his in
juries luckily proved to be not serious.
Col. Muldoon, after leaving his place of
business on Green street, between Third
and Fourth, boarded an East Broadway
car. The car stopped for him on the cor
ner of Highland and Baxter avenues, and
Col. Muldoon sought to alight. Before
he had accomplished this the car started
again. which caused him to be thrown
heavily to the granite paving. His head
struck and he was rendered unconscious.
He was carried into the Highland Phar-
macy, where he was attended by DIR.
Jacob Weber, who found that there was
little injury beyond a cut on the head.
Col. Muldoon was then removed to his
home, at l4l2 East Broadway.
