FRUIT IN THE BLACK HILLS.
Success of Chris Thompson, a Box
Elder Valley Grower.

Box Elder valley is rapidly making
a reputation as the most prolific cen.
ter of fruit production in the Black
Hills, and the crop of apples, winter
pears, plums, cherries, grapes and
small fruits raised there this year has
supplied the demands of the local mar
kets, besides leaving a large amount
for export.
Six miles north of Rapid City, on
Box Elder, is situated the fruit farm
and nursery of Chris Thompson, which
are under perfect condition and con.
tain thousands Of trees which for ten
years have been a source of profit. 1t
is over twenty years since the first
apple tree was planted in this orch
ard, but since that time Mr.. Thompson
has increased the standard of his
orchard until it contains only the
choicest varieties of apples, hardy
pears and cherries.
This year Mr.. Thompson has picked
and packed over / 200 barrels of early
apples, while there are still on the
trees many hundreds of barrels of win.
ter apples. Besides these, he mar,
keted a large quantity of cherries,
plums and grapes, and many thou.
sands of boxes of small fruits which
came earlier in the season. He has
about 100 acres of apple trees alone.

PROSPEROUS EDcEMoNT.
What Irrigation Is Doing for Its Trib-
utary Country.

The town of Edgemont is expert.
encing improved conditions and the
town is closing its most prosperous
year. Ranchmen and farmers have
had a favorable season and merchants
are enjoying a healthy trade.
Chief among contributing factors to
the good local conditions is the re-
Mobilization of the old Edgemont
ditch by N. s. Tubbs. Mr.. Tubbs is a
wealthy stOckman who has been buy
ing up ranch property under the state
s~cavenger tax law. In this way he
has acquired title to -four sections Of
land along the course of the Edgemont
ditch and has taken steps to plant
1000 acres of the land with alfalfa.
The ditch was repaired last spring
and has been carrying water through
for the irrigation of his lands. The
old lake at EdgemOnt has been retilled
for the first time in several years, and
water has been provided for the irri-
cation of all arid territory in the re-
giOn.
The ditch was constructed about
even years ago by the old Edgemont
company, taking out the water of the
Cheyenne river and Beaver creek at
their confluence and conveying it for
several miles.

INDIANS AT GOLDEN WEDDING.
One Thousand Were Guests of Ray
mond and His SquaW.

On the Keya Paha river, sixty miles
west of BOnesteel, took place the cele,
bration of the golden wedding of Eu-
mich Raymond and wife. Mr.. Raymond
is a veteran of the Mexican and Civil
wars, and married his present wife,
who is a full-bloOd Indian woman, at
Fort Laramie, Wyo., fifey years ago,
while a soldier at that fort, and they
have lived with the Rosebud Sioux In.
dams V e since.
This was the first celebration of it's
kind among the Sioux Indians, and
they came from far and near to pay
homage to the aged couple.
Mr.. Raymond has the reputation
among the Sioux of being one of the
bravest white men who ever came
among them. The aged couple have
lived at their present home, a little log
cabin on the banks of the river, for
twenty-five years, and are the owners
of considerable land and live stock.
Ii is estimated that at least 1000 In
dams participated in the festivities on
this occasion, having come from the
Standing Rock, Cheyenne river, Pine
Ridge, Brule, Crow Creek and Rose
bud reservations. They presented the
couple with many valuable presents.

SWEARING as to a Girls Age.

w. C. Lonsberry, a ~well-known
young man living in Lake county.

result of doing a favor for a friend.
Arthur r. Dresden, whose home is
at Fennimore, Wis, but who came to

been arrested on complaint OF he

The new Carnegie library at Yank-

Senator r. ]. Gamble made the first
speech.
The benefit of libraries and the
debt we owe to the minds of the past
and present that have given to the
world its books was the purport OF his
address. He was followed by Judge
Bartlett Trip, who paid the great
founder of libraries a glowing trib-
ute. and in conclusion made some val,
liable suggestions regarding the use
and upbuilding of the library. Rev
B. G. Matson of the Congregational
church was the last speaker. His adj
dress was a plea for liberal donations
in books and money, and the gifth tina:
followed showed that citizens were
ready and glad to respond.
The donations amounted to owe
! 900 volumes, and in addition a lib.
eral amount of cash was contributed
The library will be opened for the
public as soon as the librarian car

Rush for South Dakota Lands.

Nearly $4,000 acres of Stanley coun.
ty land was filed upon at the land Of
fee in Pierre for the month of Sep
TENDER. This was taken up in 2lS
original homesteads, So water declara-
tories and Is soldiers d~eclaratories,
making a total of 302 filings.
The parties taking :nese lands are
compelled to get farther back from the
river with every month, and many OF
them were compelled to make three
day trips to make their locations.
When men who come out to look over
the country, instead of condemning 1t

drive out owe fifty miles, and then
make their filings after thoroughly
looking over the country, it would
certainly indicate that they see in 1t
something worth the looking after.

HOG DISEASE.
Destroying Herds in the MISSOURI
River Counties.

htNCI
Reports continue to come in OF that
unmanaGeable hog disease. Hundreds
of hogs have died within the past two
months in Yankton and Cedar (Neb)
counties, and there seems as yet no
prospect of abatement. One farmer
lust across in Cedar county has less
than 40 hogs left out of a herd OF 300,
and the per cent of loss in other herds
has been as great. William and Har-
nv Box. zeal Yankton, have lost over
forty head, and their ~neighbors nave
suffered in like manner. Sampson
Erickson was in the city yesterday
from near Gayville and reported that
Bert Aman, P. j. Koiberg and others
in his neighborhood have been losers.
The disease is remarkable for the
suddenness of its attack and the
death of it's victims. Cases are re-
ported where death followed within
an hour after the first symptoms OF
the disease asserted itself.

IRRIGATION SUITS
Three In the Hills Ready for Decision
Of the Judge.

The irrigation suits have been
taken under advisement by Judge
Levi MCGEE of the seventh circuit,
from who a decision is expected in
the next few days. There were three
of the suits in which the Redwater
Land and Canal company was plain
tiff and John r. Jones, Henry Keats,
D. r. Thompson and others were de-
PENDANTS. 1t was a controversy as to
the relative priority of rights to the
water of Redwater river and Chicken
creek. The defendants claim priority
to the right of the Redwater company.
The principal question of fact was
as to the date Of location of the old
Newlands ditch which was trans
ferred, its priority relative to other
bitches on the creek, and it's capac-
ity. The doctrine of riparian rights
also entered into the suits.
Something like eighty witnesses
were examined, all of the testimony
being taken at Belle Fourche. For
the last two days the attorneys were
reading dispositions and delivering ar
suments to the court at Deadwood.

Fred Estlick was .shot in the side
with a shotgun by G. X. Howard at
the ~latter's cattle ranch on the Chey-
enne river near Rapid City. Mr.. How
ard is asserted to have shot Estlick in
self-defense. Estlick has been in the
employ of Mr.. Howard for some time
and his wife has been living on the
ranch. The other day Estlick began
mistreating his wife while in an in
t~oxlcated condition and Mr.. Howard
i]nterfered. At this Estlick knocked
him down and attempted to follow
him into the house. 1t is asserted that
Estlick brandished a knife, and to
save himself Mr.. Howard took down
his shotgun and fired. Estlick has
been taken to the hospital at Dead
wood for attention.
Mr.. Howard is one of the best known
cattlemen of the West, and is presl-
dent of the Western South Dakota
Stock Growers association, an office
that he has held several times in sue
cessiOn. He is one of the earliest
Dakota settlers, coming here in 1868.
1t is anticipated that he will have no
difficulty in establishing justification.
