HOLD UPDEADWooDsAL SALOON
Two Masked Men Make Raid but Secure
Little RDoty


Little Booty.
DEADwooD, S. D., Oct. 31.-Dead-
wood had holdup affair yesterday
which would have done justice to early
frontier days of the Black Hills. Two
masked men entered Russell Sc Higbie' S
saloon on Main street at a. m. and at
the points Of two six shooters M. r..
Russell, one Of the proprietors, and one
customer, the only occupants of the
room, Were ordered to hold up their
hands. Russell said all right, but with
a quick spring from his chair grappled
with the man who had him covered
and there was a fierce struggle for a
minute. Russell was hit twice over
the head by the bandit with the gun,
being knocked down by the first blow.
Bandit No. 2 was covering the single
customer during this time, but by a
dexterous dodge the latter reached the
door and gave the alarm on the street.
The robbers became frightened and
backed out. One of them went
behind the bar and grabbed some
loose money before going. Both men

in money. The fire bell was rung and
the whole city turned out to look for the
bandits The police organized posses
and started them up the different
gulches and it is believed that escape
for the men will be impossible. In the
scuff1e that Russell had with his man
he pulled off the cloth mask and Russell
is able to give an accurate description
of the fellow.
A young man named John Oswald,
who volunteered to search for the men
with one OF the posses, shot himself in
the right ankle with revolver while
dismounting from his horse, the bones
being broken off.
The men are not believed to be pro-
fessionals by the police, for they made
bungling work of the holdup. On the
counter back Of the bar there was 5000
lying in plain sight and there were sew
eral thousand dollars in the safe.

HEREsY TRIAL I'M SIGHT.

McGiffert Declines to Withdraw from
Presbyterian Church.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Failure has met
the efforts Of the committee appointed
by the New York Presbytery to induce
Professor Arthur @. McGiffert of Union
seminary quietly to resign from the
Presbyterian ministry At the final
meeting of the committee it was decided
so to report to the Presbytery at it's next
meeting on Nov. ID. The opinion in
Presbyterian circles is general that with
the decision OF Professor McGiffert not
to withdraw the trial Of another Union
seminary professor for heresy will be
difficult to avoid.

ly to wish to sail under false colors.
At this late date in the campaign the
Bulletin has seen fit to ask us list of
questions many of which are absurd
and others are manifestly unfair. The
Bulletin does not show its good faith
by answering the REVIEWS questions
and we have answered them ourselves
in this issue. AS the Bulletin was not
before us until nearly noon today and
as the REVIEW goes to press this after
noon we have neither time nor space
to make answer in this issue. We
promise our readers to do this on next
Friday, fully, fairly and freely with no
such cowardice AS has been shown by
the Bulletin The only difference be-
| tween the REVIEWS questions and
| those of the Bulletin are that the for
mer are fair and based upon the truth
while the latter are largely based upon
what the Bulletin knows to be false
and untrue. For instance the question
as to supposed $40, 1000 campaign fund.
Mr.. CasWe.l knows his insinuation is a
lie, lie so palpahle and absurd as to
be ridiculous. The republican party
in Crawford has no money save that
contributed by individual republican
residents of Crawford county, and any
reasonable man knows that it would be
impossible to collect one-twentieth part
of ten thousand dollars from these
sources for campaign purposes. The
republicans have enough money for
legitimate expenses, no money for beer
or brides or ''sociables" such as the
democrats have been holding through.

campaign lie of which Mr. Caswell is

Yes. we all know that it is.

Pounding kicking cow with fence
rail will not break her of the habit. She
does not kick because she is naturally
vicious, but because things have not
been fully explained to her. and she
feels that she is defending herself from
personal attack. Every cow has a
moral and legal right to know what

alongside of her with a milk-pail and
yells out: "Ho, now, but you hist over

Many farmers waste precious hours
in scratching the backs of their penned
up pigs with corn-cobs under the idea
that it helps to fatten. 1t has no more
effect on pig than scratching the head
of a boy. There is no doubt that the
pig enjoys it, and If scratched long
enough he will fall asleep, but 1t is
only a superficial sensation, and the
tendency is to breed luxurious habits
which cannot be gratified. Throw
few old Knots of wood into the pen and
let YOUR pig scratch their own backs.
Farmers wells are too often neglect
ed. and a case of typhoid fever and a
large doctor bill are the consequences.
Once in ten years, at least, every well

many old boots, tin pals, table knives,
wash-dishes, spring chickens. tobacco
boxes and broken jugs find their way
into the family well, and what a diff
ference they will make in the taste of
the water after few years.
a farmer living on the line of rail-
road can very easily and cheaply teach
a newly-bought cow not to look for
pasturage between the deadly rails.
Let him pen her up in the .barnyard
some morning, and while his wife
blows the dinner-horn and his son ex-
plodes fire-crackers, he should chase
