"The building now used as state

The present state house may not be

the statement that it is "srarcely ft for

Furthermore, the state owns it, and
its officers and records are not liable to
be dumped into the street at the suit OF
any local taxpayer, as could be the case
with the proposed building at Mitchell.

its description of the mines, mills and

large gathering Of people for Custer and
many came from Hill City, Keystone,
Pringle and neighboring towns.
The number of people gathered. on
the grounds was yafiopsly estimated at
from 1900 to 5000. They were about as
good natured crowd as ever got to-
gether and seemed to enjoy themselves
to the full extent. There was no fight
ing or other unseemingly conduct to mar
the pleasure OF the occasion. The fest
iyites wound up with grand ball in
the opera house where till a late hour
youth and beauty chased the glowing
hours with flying feet
And thus passed one Of the most
pleasant and successful Fourth of July
entertainments that was ever enjoyed
by Custer and the people of the sur
rounding country.

Accidents

Mat Riley hurt 1t was on the even
ing of July 4th, while driving out TO his
ranch few miles west Of town, that the
trouble occurred. Il seems from the
information we gather that Mr.. Lee
Carr on this occasion drove up behind
Mr.. Riley and wanted to pass, but this
Mr.. Riley would not permit him to do.
Some high words followed and there
was challenge to fight and they both
got out and went at it. In this fistic
encounter We are told Mr.. Carr got the
worst of it and was knocked down. In
getting up he picked up a rock and
throwing it at Mr.. Riley broke his arm
above the elbow. 1t is said to be quite
a serious break too as it penetrated the
joint and may give him stiff arm for
the rest Of his life. We tell this Just as
we get it and have no comment to
make.
Mr.. August Pilger, son Of Mr.. Henry
Pilger of our city met with quite a SER
ious accident last Wednesday while rid.
ing the range near ranch owned by Mr.
Geo. Babcock, about % miles west from
Custer. 1t seemed in this case the horse
without giving any warning commenced
bucking and August was thrown. But
the worst of it was that his foot caught
in the stirrup, and he was dragged until
his boot came off which ssyed his life
But he was not 10 get off so easy for the
horse gave him .yi:iods kick which
broke his arm. Fortunately there was
help near at hand, and Mr.. Babcock
brought the young man to town where
DIR. Calkins attended to the injured
member and he is resting easy.
Mr.. Edward Rogers, an old and res
pected citizen of Custer, rode out on the
evening of the 9th to drive home his
COW. He was oyeriaken by a runaway
team which came from behind and his
horse was csught between the two team
horses and all three horses went down
in heap. Mr., Rogers in falling back
wards fell under the horses feet and was
trampled upon and badly bruised. His
head is badly cut IN several places but
no bones were broken and If he has sus-
tanned no internal injuries it is probable
he will soon recover. The team belongs
to Mr.. e. G. Cfary, and were a fne pair
| OF gfays which he uses in his livery
business. They were driven by Mr..
Walter Wright. who had stopped at a
house for few minutes to leave pack
age and left the horses stand for NOM
ent without hitching. The team is per-
fectly gentle and what started them
Walter says he cannot tell. The accid-
ent occurred on Harvey street,
between 9TH and Sth. The buggy was
| injured to srme extent hut the horses
were not hurt. There is lesson in this
