Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1901-08-24

Archbishop Ireland, in his recent in
terview in New York, enunciated some
general truths in reference to the labor
problem that are worthy Of more than
a passing notice. The keynote Of his
labor creed is the personal freedom of
the individual citizen, which he says is
the most sacred and precious inheritance
of Americans. The legal right of a free
man to work or not to work is of course
not 70 be denied; but says the archbis-
hop, "while the right to enter upon a
strike is and must be conceded as a right
belonging to the personal freedom for
workingmen, this must ever be demand
ed, that they who cease to work must in
no way interfere with the liberty Of
others who may wish to work. What
ever the other interests at stake, that Of
the personal freedom of the Individual
outranks them all. This must ever be
emphatically asserted and maintained,
that however much labor unions may
have reason to widen their muster rolls,
and however much they have the legal
and moral right to do this through pacific
and persuasive methods, they must not
attempt to wrest from men outside their
ranks the right to work, or seek to coerce
them into inactivity by illegal and un-
just attacks upon their civil and moral
freedom

Pan-American In Brief.

The Pan American Exposition in that
progressive city, the cynosure of the
eyes of the world to-day, is an example
Of the enterprising Americans and fur
nishes ample food for speculation and

this wonderful exposition all people can
find qualification. The artist will be de-
lighted and his highest ideals realized
the horticultural exhibits are all of the
best, fresh and fine; all mining or min
eral regions are we'll represented. Cuba,
Hawaii and the Philippines are there in
natural and simple presentation, and the
United States Government Building may
we'll signify our natural importance and
status in relation to other countries OF
this great Western world. Those of a
musical turn can be highly entertained
and instructed at any hour Of the day
In the Stadium and Plaza bands of re.
noun give grand concerts and in the
Temple of Music nearly every afternoon
one can listen to organ recitals. The
state buildings, the Liberal Arts build

South American countries; the United
States Life Preserving building and the
drill, an exhibition of which is given
every day, and the rides in a steam
launch or a gondola on the canal which
makes circle of the grounds, are all
very fine and interesting. But best ofall
is the electrical display at night and the

lights. 1t is superb. Midway, full OF
curiosities and surprise as we'll as sources
of knowledge, is an attraction alone, but
space is limited and many other good
things must be omitted. A month could

A Big Fire Company.

Captain Seth Bullock, the new forest
supervisor of the Black Hills, has Or
ganized what is said to he the largest
fire company in the world, says a special
from Deadwood. Every member is CIV
ing his services without pay, yet is ex-
pected to be on duty constantly. Some
time ago the secretary Of the interior
department made an order permitting
people to Craze cattle on the forest re-
serve to the full limit of 1000 head for
the million or more acres. A man can
have four or less head without asking
for permit. but beyond that number to
the limit of 120 he must ask permission
Of the supervisor, showing that he has
the proper range and that he intends to
comply with the law. A proviso was
inserted in tEis order by the secretary,
which makes it compulsory for every
man raising cattle to assist in the putting
out of forest fires. Until recently this
part of the order has not been put into
effect. Forest Supervisor Bullock has
obtained the names OF every man who
has availed himself of this cattle order
and twenty FIRE brigades have been or
ganized. There are twenty divisions on
the reserve, each one being in charge of
rangers, whose duty it is to see that the
laws governing the reserve are complied
with. When fire breaks out on the re.
serve the cattle raisers are expected 60
Immediately and put 1t out. The first
man at the fire is to have full charge of
the operations Until the ranger arrives.
In case the fire gets beyond control of
one division of cattlemen and ranger,
word is to be sent Immediately to an
adjoining district and all of the people
there are expected to come to their res
cue. After the fire is cut the ranger OF
that particular district is required to
take the names of al. the cattlemen who
did not participate in putting the fire
out and list of such persons is sent to
the general Office Of the supervisor, ia
Deadwood. Unless the person who did
net attend the fire can give good rea-
son for his absence his permit to Craze
cattle on the Black Hills forest reserve
will be taken away from him. The
cattle grazers oil over the Hills are tax
ing interest in this original plan of Cap
tain Bullock and as consequence sew
eral hundred men stand on guard con-
stantly to put out forest fires. There
are fully 1000 head of cattle on the re-
serve. No sheep are allowed Itis con
sidered fine thing for the forest to have
the grass kept down by the stock.

Msndelssohn's wedding march the bridal
party came downstairs, Miss Canfiel
leaning on the arm Of Mr.. Monheim,
who gave her away. A pretty feature
of the marriage was the appearance OF
little Mildred Monheim who acted as
ring bearer.
The ceremony was followed by hearty
congratulations from the assembled
guests after which came the wedding

ure and enjoyment. Those present in

The Gr1ggs, Entertainment.

The N. X. Griggs' entertainment at the
opera house last Saturday evening, can
Evening of Poetry and Song" was a
rare treat to lovers Of good things in
that line. 1t was held under the aus
pices of the Congregational Aid Society,
to whom Mr.. Griggs gave freely this
evening from his crowded life and they
highly appreciate the gift. The remark
able versatility of this truly great man,
lawyer, poet, musician and what not
else that is good and withal and always
kindly, helpful, genial gentleman has
made him prominent figure in the life
OF the whole West. The program, on
this occasion, consisted Of recitations
and songs, mostly from his latest COM
positions, and evidently the more he
does the better he does it. Mr.. Griggs
fairly outdid himself in pathos and
humor from Hells Canyon and Booze is
Boss to the gentle little story of the
Rose and the old darkies lament for bis
little one, and the little old Prairie Dog,
which was given by special request. All
was vivid with the fire Of the genius in
him. Probably this great excellence
was partly due to tie magnificent &C.
compartments played by Mrs. Ferris
who came with him for that purpose.
Custer never heard anythingto compare
with them. and doubtless Custer never
will, unless this lady should return to
charm us again. The fine intuition with
which she catches the spirit of every
song, and the remarkable skill with
which she interprets it through the keys
of the instrument, is thing never to be
forgotten and Of marvellous beauty.
A most delightful feature of the even
ing's entertainment was a prelude to
Mr.. Griggs' program. Mrs. Woodbury.
visitor in Custer for 4 few weeks, had
kindly consented to- add a number in
song. and her rendering Of the "Star o.
Glsngary" elected a''persistent encore
which was responded ITO in the tender
old ballad. "Home, Sweet Home" Her
singing displayed at bnce the gifted and
skilled musician-yoiee rich and full
perfectly modulated and of exceeding
sweetness. She charmed her audience
by voice and manner, and every one
who heard her can only wish to hear
her again. The very short notice given
ofthe entertainment made it impossible
to ayoid other Of public and social ma.
ture, and the only thing to be regretted
is that so many were unable to enjoy q
thing of so great merit.

Supreme Court Ruling.

The supreme court of California has
ruled that If work is resumed on min.
ing location but not completed to the
amount of 500 before the first of Janu-
ary arrives on which forfeiture would
occur, the claimant by continuing the
work into the new year, and working
continuously until the 500 value of
work is completed, protects claim against
forfeiture. 1t is not required that as.
sessment work shall be done on Sunday
to make the work continuous, as con-
templated by the statue. The work so
performed, however is only valid for the
year it was commenced and does not
count for TIE year in which 1t was COM
pleted.

Uncle Sam Takes q Hand.

w. G. Porter, assistant United States
attorney, returned this morning from
Yankton, where he represented the
government In an unusual and inter-
esting case before the federal commits
sioner at that place. III. F. Becker, a
farmer living near Elk Point. was ar.
rested for shipping quail and prairie
chickens out of the state. This is tho
first time the United States government
has prosecuted anyone in the northwest
for this offense. The case against Bee
ker is based upon an act of congress Of
May 25, 1900, known as the Lacey act,
which is designed to prevent shipments
of game birds in violation of local laws.
Becker is charged with shipping seven
boxes, three barrels and one drum, con-
tanning an aggregate of 9l2 quail and 1876
prairie chickens The packages were
billed as containing dressed poultry, and
were consigned to F. B. Pratt & Co., of
Boston. They were seized at Chicago
by George w. Clark of that place, who
holds the position of congressional
game warden of Illinois. His duties re.
quire him to examine all suspicious
shipments and strictly enforce the pro-
visions OF the Lacey act. Becker's de-
fenss at his preliminary examination
before the federal commissioner was
that the quail and prairie chickens were
killed in Nebraska. However. a section
of the Lacey act places game birds un-
der the jurisdiction of the laws of the
state from which they were shipped,
and if shipped to another state gives the
federal government jurisdiction because
it is interstate commerce. Tie consignee
and carrier, under the terms of the
Lacey act. are equally responsible with
the shipper for violations of the law. If
the government succeeds in convicting
Becker it will have a wonderful effect
on the shipping of dead game birds out
Of season, and should make the work of
game wardens much easier in the future;
as the most reckless pot hunter will not
care to- lock horns with Uncle Sam oyer
the matter. As the result of his pre-.
liminary examination Becker has been
bound over 20 the next term of the
United States court. His bond was fix
ed at $500, which he furnished. Sioux

From Supt. Lemmons of the North

located about eight miles northwest Of
this city, we learn that the drift that is

The Hill City News is authority for
the statement that Messrs. Webb, Cham.

any particulars, but understand, that
the purchasing parties will place re-

use their own pr ocess which requires but
little water. They will develop the mine
at the same tune treating the ore that is
taken out.
The Copper Butte Mining company,
