Peter Peterson, of Hermosa, on Thurs
day, the 18th of March, committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the
head. Mr.. Peterson was well known
and respected in Custer county for many
years, and the news Of his death and
the manner of it caused quite a surprise
and a shock to his many friends in this
part of the country. We knew MIR. Pei
erson in the hey day Of his prosperity
when he was one of our county commits
sioners, when he owned a pleasant home
and his focks and herds ranged over the
sunny slopes Of our foot hills. He was
a genial, kindly man and his untimely
end is extremely regretful and sad.

Dick Palmer, whom most Of our read
ers know, returned to the Hills last week.
Dick left the Hills last fall to visit the
mining camps south of Mason & Dixon's
line, and has become quite a traveller,
having spent a portion of the past win
ter in old Mexico. We have not met
him since his return, but we venture to
say that like most Of the old prospectors
that go away from the Hills seeking pas
lures new, they come back and are ready
to acknowledge that for rich mineral,
rich land and even for climate taking
the year around, they have found no
better country than the Black Hills Of
South Dakota.

there are many more good reasons why
he should not be elected. If Mr. Logan
insists upon knowing what these reas-
ons are, / will readily publish some of

Crops are growing nicely, although
little rain would be beneficial
Some Of our people took in
Grants Pass on Decoration day.
By examining the prun6 trees, we
find the crop will be below the ayer.
age The cold rain when the trees
were in bloom, blighted the blooms
to a certain degree. The apple crop
will be large, so will all kinds of
berries.
Most Of the farmers have their gard.

mence in a short time The hay crop
will be- big, and that means big
money as most Of the farmers have
turned their attention TO raising hay
and stock.

Others are cleaning up. Lover Grave

tion for for miners A large amount
Of ditching will be done this summer.
The Gold Bug ON Mt Reuben is
shut down. That mine has not run
regularly for reasons best known to
the owners Of the mines.
Business is quiet, as it is on the

couuty has been under republican rule,

We we'll remember when he was a
good republican, but now he has be-
come a prodigal. PERHAPS. as Bob

Slower and Salaries

The republican orators keep on re-
poating the statement that / signed a
petition to have the salaries Of county
officials raised DO uot object to any
fair statement >of my act and submit
that when they simply go around and
read the petition signed without
any further explanation, they do me
gross injustice aud they know it,
The petition signed was circulated
after the bill as originally introduced
had passed the house and was pending
in the senate As thc bill passed the
house, the salary Of sheriff was $1,000
and OF clerk, $500 and the treasurer
was left at $500 The bill as passed
was House Bill d. The petition ]
signed asked 10 have the salary Of
sheriff put at $500 clerk at $500, a
material reduction, and the treasurer
fixed at 5000.
After the petitions reached the sen
ate, the bill vas amended and sent
back to the house for concurrence,
with the salary Of sheriff $1,000; clerk
sliO0 treasurer, 5000 Had the pitt
tion / signed been followed, the
