An Iowa Man Has His Quarter Sec
ton Hemned in.
When Mr.. Post arrives from near
Des Moires with his cattle, he will be
wiser, sadder, and decidedly madden
than when he was at Miller looking UP
a ranch a few days ago.. He wanted
to buy one quarter-section, but 1t must
be surrounded with government land
so rough and undesirable that no one
would ever file on 1t. He found what
he wanted in Winnebago valley, south
west of town. He paid a big price for
the coveted quarter, and he returned to
town in high spirits. He would pasture
coupntless herds of steers on Uncle
Sans land, and he would become a
millionaire in a few years. The good
man was more than pleased when sew
eral new-made acquaintances accom-
panied him as far as Huron on his re-
turn to Iowa. All parties were highly
pleased at future prospects. The Da-
kota boys lost no time in going to the
United States land office and filing on
all Of the government claims surround
ing Mr.. Posts coveted quarter, thus
holding the key to the situation. They
are wondering whether Mr.. Post will
buy. rent or shoot when he arrives with
his large herd.

LowRY's DAUGHTER FOUND DEAD.
Police Relieve That She Committed
Suicide.

New York, March pa good-look-
ing woman about thirty years Old was
found dead yesterday morning in a
boarding house at 32l West l24th
street. She was known at the board
ing house as Mrs. l.. Il. Robertson, the
wife of a Chicago tailor. DR.. Thomas
j. Carr ey. who viewed the body at the
Harlem morgue, said that ne was al.
most positive the I'M was Mrs. l..
X. Robinson, the daughter of Thomas
Lowry, the millionaire street railway
man OF ST. Pau and Minneapolis. DR..
Carney said that Mr.. LOwry's daugh-
ter was in the Glen Springs sanitari-
UNI at Watkins Glen, New York, when
he was on the house staff there about
three years ago. In the room where
the woman was found were two walls
containing the remains of some dark
liquid. The clearinghouse keeper said
the bottles had contained bromide of
o d and blackberry brandy. The po-
lice are inclined to believe that she
committed suicide, and CorOner's Ply
stefan O'Hanlon will perform an au-
topsy on the body to-day. When DR..
Carney was examining the body he
said he got a perceptible odor Of laud-
anum from the woman's lips.

ORE SHOWS FREE COIN

Ing To the E-nu

-" mt Fohts
The shaft at the Conner mine four
miles north of Hill CITY is now down
apout ioo feet, and is still following
lne rich Iedge of free-milling ore. con-
sIuered the richest thing ever opened
III nat part Of the Black Hills. The
ore SHOWS free gold, and the two mill
runs mat have already been made in
ulcate that he average yalue is much
hlgher than any other ore found in the
district. The company will sink the
smart TO the 500-foot level as soon as
possible, running drifts and crosscuts
every loo feet. 1t is believed that at
iedst TWO separate lodges will be found
running parallel with the Gopher vein,
ana that at a depth of perhaps 200 feet
all OF the ore bodies will unite in one
Dig vein. The Tremain mills are to be
put in this season, which will make IL
possible to develop the mine and paw
TOT the work with the ore taken out.
Inc company is managed by Minneap-

The Chicago men who have bonded

east of Hill City, have arrived, and
Will lei the work Of unwater-
ing the mine as soon as possible and
sink a shaft at least 500 feet deep. The
shaft is now nearly 300 feet deep, with
several hundred feet of drifts on the
vein. The mine has paid from the
grass-roots down. The ore from the
top of the shaft to the bottom has av-
eraged about $22 per ton gold. In v
cry respect the vein resembles that OF
he Holy Terror mine, at Keystone, the
ore averaging about the same in value.
The Chicago men propose to put in a
small mill and treat the ore as it is
taken out in the development work.
a short distance east of the Golden
Slipper mine is the Joe Dollar mine,
which has just been sold to Eastern
men. There is a ledge Of ore exposed
which is over 1000 feet in length,
showing high values in gold all the
way. A mill will be erected there this
spring.

BOTH SIDES
COnstitutionality of a Law Recently
Enncted to BE TesteI.

The hearing before the state supreme
court on the 2sth inst. is to test the le-
gality Of the summary removal law
recently passed by the legislature. 1t
contained an emergency clause, which
the Fusionists charge was placed in 1t
for the express purpose of evading the
referendum amendment to the state
constitution. The Fusionists will at
tack this feature of the removal law,
and strive to have it declared %unconsti-
tutioLal. The law itself will also be
attacked, the Fusionists maintaining
that it also is unconstitutional because
it is retroactive. Should the law it
self be declared valid by the supreme
court, and the emergency clause be
pronounced unconstitutional, the law
then could not go into effect earlier
than July !. Then, before that date,
the plan of the Fusionists is to invoke
the referendum, and thus prevent the
removal law from going into effect
prior to the general election of next
year, when 1t would first have to be
voted upon. In the meantime the Flu
sionists, being in control Of the board
of charities and corrections, would also
retain control of the offices in the In
sane asylum, p~enitentiary, reform
school and other state Institutions.
