A Glass Of Old Settlers.

On Tuesday we took drive into the
country, Just to look at the crops now
growing in the height of their glory, and
incidentally from force Of habit we had
to look at some holes in the ground.
For be il known that our mines and our
farms in the southern Hills are strangely
mixed up. 1t is not uncommon to find
q man raising field Of potatoes and
oats on one end of his quartz claim,
while on the same claim higher up on
the mountain he is sinking shaft to
develop his quartz vein. Just over the
hill and down in deep draw he has
one of his boys or girls manipulating an
OLD fashioned rocker, washing out the
yellow metal in sufficient quantities to
keep the family in provision, furnish
the old man with his tobacco, and an
OCCASIONAL calico dress for the old lady
and the girls. Whenever he has few
dollars to spare he buys another COW,
until now most of these settlers have
quite bunch of cattle roaming over the
hills. These are q source of revenue,
not alone for the milk and butter which
finds q ready sale in the town, but ii is
such handy thing to have in the house.
Further up on the creek bottom he has
a meadow fenced in where he cuts his
hay for the winter. He has his team of
fat horses, and the boys take an occa-
sional ride to town, each with saddle
horse of his own which he has raised on
the mixed estate of quartz mine, placer
mine, farm, ranch, or what is it2
This is no fancy sketch, it is common
FIJI over the mineral portion Of the
southern Hills, and is the pleasantest
and most interesting feature of the
home life of larger portion of the old
time residents Of this most rich and
beautiful portion of what has come to
be known and called the richest one
hundred miles square on earth" These
people are not rich, they think they are
poor because they have to work, but
there is many millionaire and his

independence, comfort, and even lux
ury which they enjoy. Most of these
men started in as poor prospectors, with
no idea of becoming permanent settlers.
In climbing hills and digging holes they
at length discovered what they were
seeking, gold. Either down on the
creek bar, which is called placer, or up
on the mountain where they found a
vein of quartz which yielded the shin
ing metal in the pan. Having found a
vein which yields gold there was moth.
ing to do but to stay with it, and devel-
ope to an extent that it will command
the attention of capitalists who can put
on the necessary machinery to make
the mine producer of the precious
metal. In order to do this they found
it was necessary to build a cabin which
they constructed from the timber which
grows on the mountain. Having done
this, they find they must hit upon some
plan to sustain themselves until they

Acting Com missioner
The German Case.

The past two weeks have been court
weeks in Custer, and while quite mum.
Der of civil cases have engaged the at
tention of the judge and jury there has
been nothing in which the public SEEM
ed to take much interest except the
German case. In other words to be
more explicit we will say that the State
vs. Justin Boehme (alias Jack Gorman)
for the murder of Roy Streeter, the jury
brought in verdict Of acquital and the
prisoner has returned to his home in
Nebraska free man. OF course the
public has some considerable feeling in
this matter, and while some few think
the verdict is all right and the ends OF
justice have been met, there are others
who think differently. 1t was in many
respects peculiar case, and it is regard
ed from many different points of view
by many people, but we question ifthere
was one person in this whole community
who thought he ought to go scot free
No one thought that he would be found
guilty of murder in the first degree, the
nature of the testimony would hardly
admit Of that under all the circum.
stances, but on the other hand there
was no one whom we have met to con.
verse upon the matter what have
expressed surprise at the verdict rem.
dered.
But when we come to consider that
twelve men, good and true, have listened
to the testimony, weighed all the evi.
dence, and heard the arguments of the
attorneys on both sides have come to
the conclusion that it was a case of justi
fable homicide the public should be
content to let them be the judge of the
matter, and let it 60 at that. For Ger.
tainly it cannot be said Of that jury that
it was composed of men that were lack.
ing in intelligence or honesty. No such
idea can be entertained for a moment
1t cannot be said that bribery or undue
influence was used to sway the minds ol
the jury, the minds of twelve men are
not so easily swaysd. 1t cannot be said
