rived in Deadwood Sunday and left last

The Rapid City Journal of the 4th
stated that Captain Eugene Parish of
Company NJ, South Dakota National
Guards, at that place, had received a tele-
gram to have his company ready to take
the field at a days notice, owing to the
recent Indian trouble in Wyoming, in
which Indians from the South Dakota
reservations had participated resulting in
the killing of Sheriff Miller and Deputy
%Falkenburg of Newcastle. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that there will be any
necessity for calling out troops. The
Wyoming officers and posses did their
work thoroughly, and there is nothing
left for the troops to do. The belliger-
ent young Indians seemed to have been
entirely satisfied, and it is not believed
there is any more fight left in them, since
the rout they received at the hands of
the infatuated Wyoming men, and more
particularly since the leaders in the mis-
chief were killed.

Roads ana Sidewalks.

The wagon roads leading out into the
country from Custer, north, south, east
and west are sadly in need of repairs.
The side walks in different parts of the
town are broken and present a picture
more holy than righteous, and are real
ly in a dangerous condition. We have
as in duty bound called attention to this
state Of things many times in the past,
and We expect to do so many times in
the future. We do not speak of these
things with any thought or idea that our
admonition will be needed in the least.
We know better than to expect any such
thing. We speak of it as often as be-
comes us without becoming too monot-
onous, because as sentinels on a watch
tower 1t is expected of us to cry out
when anything menace the public safe
ty or is detrimental to the public well
fare. When this is done our duty has
ended. We cannot correct these abuses,
we cannot enforce the laws, We can do
nothing but make the cutlery and then
rest quietly and watch and see if those
to whose care these things are entrusted
do their duty. 1t is an old saying that
whats everybody's business is no.
body's," and this seems to be strictly
true of Custer. We cannot find an of.
fetal or an individual in this whole com
munity, who even while ne sees these
things is ready to acknowledge that he
is in any way to blame, or in any man.
ner responsible for this condition Of
things.
Now in view Of these circumstances,
We have only to say that it must be re.
garded as ridiculous to say the least Of
it, when We are compelled to acknowl'
edge that we have no rules or regulations
which provide a remedy for this danger
Gus and disgraceful condition of our roads
and sidewalks.

Wednesday last Mr.. s. asks to have
the 90 called county road from Spokane
to Otis vacated, claiming that the road
was never legally made a county road.
He claims that there was never any no
tees given to those living along the line
of the road, and that there was no prop
er survey Of the same and no stakes to
define its boundaries or the place OF its
location. The judge would not render a
decision but dismissed the case for the
present, for the reason that in his opinion
there was not sufficient evidence to prove
in a positive name the allegations, and
the road to all intents and purposes
still remains a county road.

hundred to one thousand cars OF sand.
Two thousand cars of stone. About one
hundred cars of cement. Forty to fifty
cars of lime. Bsides these materials
mentioned there are many others that
he could not give figures for at this time,
among which the lumber bill is an ex-

CORN DAMAGED BY WINDS
Many Barns Blown Over In Warren
and Madison Counties.

Wick, Aug. IA terrific wind storm
accompanied by a downpour OF rain
amounting almost to a water spout
passed over southern Madison and
Warren counties yesterday at a little
before noon, doing untold damage to
corn, orchards and farm improvements
In this vicinity the wind was so terri
fic as to amount practically to a hur-
ricane. Barns and out-buildings were
blown over and windmills toppled on
many farms. Corn was laid nat upon
the earth and orchards are in ruins.
On the Howard Davidson and Gibson
farms barns were wrecked. On the
McCroby, Powers and Duff farms wind
mills were blown down. Many OF the
farmers in this neighborhood suffered
from loss of crops. The storm came
nm from the west and passed over
Wick in about thirty minutes. Scores
ran for cellars and cyclone caves.
Thomas A. Walker, an old resident
here SAYS that he never saw heavier
wind in this part of the state. His
corn was blown to the ground. 1T
is luck that the wind and rain was not
accompanied by hail" said Mr.. Walk.
or. cor our corn would be total loss.
AS It is the damage is more than can

Apples were shaken from trees and
in many instances the trees uprooted
