resignation as surgeon of the Soldiers
Home about two months ago. It was
accepted, to take effect March 1st. DIR.

DIR. Whitfield and his talented wife.
who haye made many warm friends
here, after brief visit with their son

that the climate there was most con-
ducive to his health. May happiness

For a Public Library

The ladies of the Travellers will give
a novel social two weeks from Monday
evening which they will call ''book''
social. Every one attending is ex-
pected to bring a book and present it
to the club, the whole number of which
will form the nucleus for public Ii
brary. The idea is in keeping with the
suggestion of the STAR some time since
that the large vacant room of the city
hall be used for that purpose. The
work is philanthropic in kind and the
energy with which the ladies are TAX.
ing it up is to be commended. A good
public library gives tone to munich
palities second only to good churches
and schools. Every citizen is inter
ested and should do what they can to
help the movement along.

COULDN'T MAKE A CASE.
Herman Fricly Arrested for Cattle steal
ing but the charge is not Proven.

Herman Fricky Arrested for Cattle steal
ing but the Charge is not Proven
A warrant was sworn out last week
by Paul Behrandt against Herman
Fricky upon the charge of grand lar
ceny. Bebrandt. who was recently re-
leased from the Sioux Falls prison
where he served two years sentence
for the same offence, alleges Fricky
took bunch of cattle belonging to the
plaintiff and appropriated them to his
own use. Sheriff Eastman arrested
Fricky Monday and brought him to
Hot Springs, the defendant going to
Jail instead of giving bonds, awaiting
his hearing which came up before JUS
tice Dudley Wednesday afternoon.
The defendant claims the cattle in
question were not stolen, but were the
rightful property of his wife who was
formerly the wife of the plaintiff. She
obtained divorce from Behrandt af-
ter his incarceration and later mar
ried Tricky, taking the cattle with her
w A4CA AcW uOuc WulCu lS near Uuo
state line in the southwest corner of
the county. Behrandt, by way of fur
ther getting even, as defendant claims,
shortened the tails of several of
Fricky's horses while the latter was in
Jail awaiting hearing, and will be
brought before the justice court to an
swer for it.
A change of venue was taken to JUS
tice Pomeroy's court who, after hear
ing the evidence, dismissed the case
and taxed the costs to the complain
ing witness, saying that he was tired
of the county being made to pay for
actions maliciously brought to satisfy
private grudges. Justice Pomeroy's
decision has been commented on very
favorably by many who express much
satisfaction with his endeavor to keep
down the county expenses SO far as
his jurisdiction goes.

Shakespeare Ladies' Pleasantly Enter
taineil

One of the many happy occasions en-
joyed by the members of the Shakes
peare Club was the delightful after
noon given by Mesdames Boomer and
Carrie M. Cleveland at the W. r. G..
rooms last Friday afternoon on the oc-
casion of the fifth anniversary of the
Organization of the club.
After the regular work of the after
noon was finished Mrs. Connor intro
| duced Mrs. DIR. Whitfield, who gave a
short lecture on the history of our race.
Mrs. Whitfield is thorough student
and pleasing speaker, and the ladies
were both charmed and instructed with
this interesting lecture. The hostesses
then passed around bits of cardboard
and slips of paper giving the name of
some book which was to be represented
by an original illustration, and after
wards to be pinned upon screen for
the others to guess what books the pic
lures represented. This was a very ap
propriate amusement, for the subject
of the afternoon had been "Great Paint
ings and Artists" and each member
was thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of art, and felt equal to the task of
competing with Raphael and Angelo.
There were twenty books represented,
and the prize, beautiful silver jewel
box, was awarded to Mrs. A. B. Connor,
she having correctly guessed seventeen.
All were then invited to sit down to
most exquisitely arranged little tables.
The menu was delicious, and daintily
served by young ladies. The favors
were tiny Mikado fans, in each of which
was found folded slip of paper con-
tanning a conundrum. Some of them
were very clever plays upon the names
of members and others present.
After tea came toasts. Mrs. Brad
ley's response to the toast, "F'ive Years
Old Today" was given in her hap
piest manner. The applause during
her speech was frequent and enthusi-
astic Mrs. Long responded to the
toast, sour New Members." Mrs. Long
is no less success as speech maker
than as new member. She is bright
in both
Besides the members of the club
there were present Mrs. Hale, Miss
Clough and Miss Hardy. Altogether
the afternoon was one of unalloyed
pleasure, and an occasion which will
never fade from the memory of those
present.

"A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Martin Richarson, the Home Tcamster
Has His Ankle Crushed by u Runaway

Martin RicliarsOI, the Home Tcamster.
Has His Ankle Crushed by IL Runaway
a distressing accident happened to
Martin Richardson, the teamster at
the Home, Wednesday afternoon. He
had been loading some sacks of grain
on his wagon at the Elkhorn depot and
climbed into the wagon from the back
tn the drivers seat, the wagon being
backed up against the platform. Just
as he reached the seat he caught his
foot on one of the sacks and. pitched
forward over the scat, falling to the
ground behind the horses and in front
of the wagon. The team became
frightened and started to run, pulling
the loaded wagon over Mr.. Richard
sons right leg. The bones of tho an.
kle were badly crushed where the
wheel struck it and the large bone be-
low the knee broken. Mr.. Richardson
was badly bruised in all parts of his
body and for time it was thought
several ribs were broken, which for
tunately proved not to be SO. He was
taken to the hospital of the Home
where the fractures were reduced and
the bruises cared for by DIR. Wade, the
Home physician, assisted by DIR. Jen-
nings. The fractures we're SO bad that
it was at first thought the leg would
have to be amputated above the ankle,
but later examination led the physi-
clans to believe that amputation would
not be necessary.
Mr.. Richardson's good constitution
enabled him to stand the ordeal of
dressing, heroically, after which he
rested we'll. He has been at the Home
ever since it opened, during which
time he has been the teamster, and has
made friend of every one, all of whom
sympathize with him in his misfor-
tune.

New Ruling on Assessment Work

A special to the Sioux City journal
from Deadwood says: "Probably no
ruling of the interior department has
ever stirred up such dissension
among mining men of the United
States as that recently made in regard
to the question of how much work
must be done on a group of claims be-
fore patent will be issued. The new
ruling effects especially those whose
applications are now pending and
those who are about to apply for pat
ent under the old ruling. The old rul-
ing was that an applicant could secure
a patent on any number of claims upon
proper affidavit that $500 worth of
work had been done on a tunnel, shaft,
incline or other work when that work
was intended to develop the entire
group. Paragraph 53 of the new rul-
ing entirely changes the condition of
things. If more than one claim is in
cluded in the application for patent
an amount equal to $500 for each claim
in the group for which application is
made must be shown ito have been en-
pended by the applicant, so that if "a
person applies for IA patent for group
containing five claims he must show
that $500 worth of improvement
has been done on the group. Acting
upon the former ruling which was sup
posed to be permanent. a number of
people i'll the Black Hills as we'll as in
other mining districts, have purchased
original locations and have done all
that was required under the old ruling
The land office surveys have been
mado up to the year aud the claims
have been paid for at the rate of 50 pei
acre. In some cases, where "a large
number of claims are included. as in
several instances in the Black Hills. an
outlay of several thousand dollars has
been incurred. A general protest
will doubtless be made from the diff
ferent mining districts to have the new
ruling suspended, for time at least
to obviate probable trouble and eN-
pense to miners everywhere. The rul.
ing was occasioned by mining man
attempting to obtain a patent on a
group containing sixty-four claims
which was more than the government
could stand and it was decided to en-.
force the strict reading of the law"

lrrigating Reservoirs.

Charlie Simmerlee has just com
pleted another reservoir or dam on
Horse creek, he having been employed
the greater part of the winter on res
ervoir contracts. He built one for
George Stager on Horse creek, and this
last one was Gottfried Scmele's place
near the mouth of Indian. Both of
these reservoirs are intended for stor-
age of water from the spring floods.
and are located high enough so that
the water can be ditched to all parts
of the farms for irrigating during the
dry season. 1t is good plan and it is
a wonder that all ''dry ranch" farmers
in the country have not availed them
selves of the reservoir privileges
offered. 1t may not be generally
known that every settler is entitled to
a reservoir site on the government do
main, when the proper steps are taken
by the settler.-Belle Fourche Times.
