Shooting ARRAY Near Mayo.

From parties in Saturday from the NJ.
]. Bailey Company saw mill near Mayo,
it is learned that a shooting ARRAY
occurred near there the middle Of last
week. in which John Raver of Pringlc
was shot over the eye with a revolver in
the hands or his brother-in law, Sam
McAdams. About eight o'clock in the
evening Mr.. Rayer was seen running
from the McAdam's residence by some
Of the men employed at the mill. Mis-.
trusting that something had happened
they followed Rayer's tracks for some
distance, but after an hours search re-
turned to the mill without him. The
next day il was learned that Raver had
arrived at his home near Pringle about
IL o'block the night before. Nothing
could be learned as TO the cause Of the
shooting further than that grudge has
existed between the two men for several
years past McAdams claims that he
did not shoot Raver brt only struck him
with his revolver. How badly Raver
was hurt we were unable to ascertain
Both men had been working for the
Bailey Co., Raver being employed as q

Who Should pay Tuition.

As the board of education OF Custer
Independent School district have had
more or less trouble in the past over the
matter of tuition, and in order to settle
the question, we publish the following
opinion from Attorney General Pyle
to the secretary of the Rapid City school
board, which We clip from the Rapid
Journal Of the Goth inst:
Huron, s. d., Sept IA, 1900.
Hon. 4; K. Collins, Superintendent of Public In
struction, Pierre. y. ID.
DEAR SIR:-I have your favor of the
llth inst, asking for an opinion for o.
L. Cooper, secretary of the board Of edu-
cation Of Rapid City, upon the question
as to what constitutes a non resident
scholar 80 as to make him liable 10 pay
tuition.
The test OF this class of cases is as to
whether or not the person is actually a
nonresident. The question OF residence
is very largely one Of intention. Ifa
person moves into town with the inten-
tion Of making it his permanent resi-
dence, then he becomes a resident and
is entitled to send his children to school
without tuition. If however, he moves
into town solely for the purpose OF send
ing his children to school with the in
tention OF returning to his own home
again in the spring, or as soon as school
is closed he would not be such resident,
and would not be entitled to send his
pupils to school without tuition.
A pupil whose residence ia with his
parents elsewhese, and who comes to the
city or town merely for the purpose OF
going to school would be required to
pay tuition. The fact that he boarded
himself, or worked in some family for
his board would not excuse such pupil
from paying tuition, providing il was
the intention Of such pupil to return
again to his home or the home of his
parents when his school was closed.
When the pupil resides with rela-
tive of course the question then depends
upon whether the pupil has permanent
ly removed to take up his permanent
residence with such relative, and has
become permanently member of the
family of such relative. II he has then
he is entitled to the school privilege
without tuition, otherwise not.
You will see that in each case, the
question depends upon one fact, and is
not q question Of construction Of the
statute upon which it is possible for this
office to give an opinion in advance OF
the knowledge of the facts of each par
ticular case, but the foregoing sugges.
tion will probably be q sufficient guide
80 that there will be no difficulty from
the facts in each particular case in ar
irving at a decision OF q question oi
tuition. Yours truly,
JOHN L. PYLE,
Attorney General.

The Candidates.

The success of the republican ticket
at the polls in this county this fall viii
depend on the activity ofthe republicans
themselves. says the Buffalo Gap Repub'
lican. Nearly all the candidates are we'll
known In the county by their public
work rendered, and it's only necessary
to say they hsye proved themselves eff
cient and trustwo rthy in every respect.
In 8. G. Lummis. the cotinty has never
had q, better treasurer, who has collected
more taxes, got after those who "could
pay and would't pay" fellows and made
them come to time. Even his political
opponents cannot say he has used his
Office to further his election, as he has
performed his duties without fear or
favor. We know what he 10 doing for
the county. but we don't know what a
new man would do. It is to the interest
Of the county that he be retained an-
other two years, and what is to the in
terest Of the county, is to the interest Of
every tax payer in the county. The
other Office that is next in Importance
to that Of auditor, which requires good
accountant, and the splendid manner in
which the books are kept and their cor
rectness, is sufficient evidence that in
w. A. Smith the county has man long
needed. and one whom it cannot we'll
dispense. The Offices Of clerk of courts,
county judge, prosecuting attorney. and
sheriff. are filed by capable men, who
have demonstrated their ability in their
Offices. A new man is in the
field for register of deeds. although quite
we'll known in the county-James Hare.
While not personally acquainted with
him. we are informed that he is worthy
man, well qualified for that position. w.
Il. Wood, while young man for county

We believe he would make a good off,
Ger. Chas. Stabler for assessor is an old
resident oftbe county and would make
a good man for the place. 1t requires
business man, one who has some ideas
ofvalues, and it is pretty evident Charley
has those qualities 80 necessary.

Mining Items.

The drift on the 800 foot level in the
North Star mine is now in 80 feet. 1t is
expected that the vein will be struck by
drifting about twenty feet further.
A fabulously rich strike offree milling
ore is reported from the Gopher Com.
pany's mine which is located about four
miles north of Hill City. The property
is owned by Minneapolis people, OF
which w. T. Haskell, editor ofthe Jour
nal OF that city is president.
David Ellis returned last evening on
the B. & M. from trip to the southern
Hills, where he has been inspecting
some mining property. Mr.. Ellis is
confident that the southern Hills, ere
many months, will prove the greatest
mining center of the Black Hills
Deadwood Independent.
Frank Hebert was over from 81. Elmo
camp Tuesday. He brought with him
the clean up of a weeks mill run on his
Clara Belle mine. Mr.. Hebert says the
mine is looking well and the mill work
ing satisfactorily. The Clara Belle is
located on Sunday gulch and joins the
st. Elmo mine on the south.
The Black Hills Mining Review says
Mr.. Dan Baker, of this city, known as q
hustling mining promoter, is at present
in New York City, working up a deal
on the Grand Junction mine, in Custer
county. Crosscutting is being carried
on at the l50-foot level and as yet but
one wall has been encountered. after 60.
ing through oyer 100 feet of ore. This
mine can well be called the Homestake
of the Southern Hills. 1t is low grade
free-milling proposition, but for large
plant 1t has as great possibilities as the
Homestake had at the start. Mr.. Baker
is in touch with the class of men who
have the capital to make such large
proposition 60, providing they can bt
induced to invest.

to fortify his talk, and defed any popu.
list or democrat to deny them, and they
did not either. The 16 to / prophesies
Of Bryan made in 1896, all which proved
untrue, he made answers with telling
effect. Also his arraignment of Petit
grew during the last congress, and his
course regarding the trust law the re-
publicans were endeayoring to haye
passed was masterful. He brought facts
for his audience to think about, and
from conversations heard on the street
afterward, his speech must have struck
home.

One may be little surprised at the
confidence displayed by intelligent men
everywhere regarding the probable
success Of the Republicans this fall. 1t
is to be regretted that this confidence
tends to apathy, but intelligent people
cannot conceive how business men, Ia.
boring men, farmers, mechanics, and in
fact all citizens who are enjoying such a
full measure of prosperity can vote to
overturn that prosperity. And while
this is inconceivable. it cannot be i'm
pressed too often upon tho minds OF
those very persons who are enjoying the
prosperity which is the fruit Of fthe Re-
publican rule, that they must see to it
in the Noyember elections that their
votes are cast and counted in order to
continue the blessings which are now
being enjoyed.
