Query Was Dan Dee a Bonesteel
CRATER manipulating a fiat Joint by
means of electricity, and was there
something behind this killing, orig

If Dan Dee had been in Bonesteel
all of the time, as he said he had
what had been his business? What
business did keep men in Bonesteel
so long after the rush was over. and
until that carload arrived In Norfolk
And II Dan Dee had been In Bone
steel, isn't it pretty positive that he
had heard of Aultman who was wide
ly known among the talent, before
their trip to Norfolk?
Perhaps Aultman thought that
grip, which he may have found to be
heavy by lifting, contained some sill
yer. Perhaps when he was caught
after he had opened the grip and
found no money, he merely dived out
of the window as matter of course
Perhaps it was a rule of his art to
always get away. But when those
bullets came raining at his frame, II
would seem that there must have
been something behind 1t all to make
him so desperate, something that he
feared would land him in prison for
years-something which he thought
might be told, perhaps, by Dan Dee
But If anything existed between
Dan Dee and Aultman, Aultman was
too much of a professional man to
give the tip. Never so much as one
word did he utter in regard to Dan
Dee over the shooting of himself
What he knew, excepting the few
wild remarks addressed to Deadwood
Dick, died with Louis Aultman.

If one can imagine what the fifth
of July would be like after a trio of
Fourths, it can be approXimated what
the feeling of the average Norfolk
citizen is today.
1t has recently been ideal corn and
haying weather and a magnificent
crop of the staple cereal has been
developing in the fields of this vicin-
ity. The ears in many of the fields
are reaching out across the rows and
giving an indication of weight and
plumpness that promises many bush
els per acre.
About the next thing that is likely
to interest the people of Norfolk and
vicinity is politics, which should soon
be running at fever heat. Meantime,
following the tournament there will
be breathing spell during which the
hurry of summer business may be
finished up and preparations for fall
and winter made.
The material for the stairway in
the United States court house has
been received, and the work of get
ting it in place is progressing rapid
long wait in completing the building
and after it has been placed the 9th
er work will be finished very prompt
ly and the building should be ready
for occupancy at very early date.
The railroad is enjoying quite a
rush of freight business to and from
the Rosebud country, influenced by
the merchants who are getting ready
for the demand that will be made
upon them when the actual settlers
begin to arrive. Some of them are
already on the ground looking ovel
the reservation to make a choice o.
land previous to the filing which be
gins next Monday. This freight bust
ness will keep the railway men bus!
until the stock rush from the wes
is on which is likely to be the latte
part of this month, providing thu

Northwestern officials have given
sites in the Rosebud country and that
they have not even made a survey of
the reservation. They have been be-
seged with inquiries from anxious
settlers to know what towns will be
favored by the road in the event of
an extension of the lines, but they
are giving no official satisfaction to
those who desire to locate there.
The street commissioner has a
force of men at work clearing the
streets OF the tons of litter that was
left as the results of the tournament,
including many pounds of confetti
that is being carted away in wagons.

that iced drinks and cold victuals
were not much in demand, but those

THAT is WHAT ROY WILEY
MADE IN TWO YEARS.
HE HAS GONE TO DEADwooD
Where With the Proceeds of His
Brush for Twenty-four Months, He
May Buy Out the Homestake Mine
Averaged 81 Per Hour for Time.

SNNCId9Cu ~ TCT TlouT IOT ilfnc'
More than $1,000 saved up in the
bank for two years of work in the
business of bootblacking! To the
school teacher who draws $500 per
year, that statement sounds, no
doubt, quite impossible. And yet
that is what has been accomplished
during the past two years by Roy
Wiley colored, of this city.
Yesterday Wiley, who has been
shining shoes first at one barber shop
and then at another, quit work and
left, with his wife, for Deadwood.
Before leaving Norfolk he went to
the bank and drew out more than
5000 in cash, which he had deposited
from time to time.
And with ali of that saving, Wiley
and his wife have lived well and
worn good looking clothes, Especial
ly his wife, who has been noticeably
we'll dressed.
The thousand dollars in shines at
a dime each represents 10000 shines
Allowing six minutes for each shine
it gives 1000 hours to the time That
makes 81 per hour.
Allowing the brush-a brush one
foot long-ffty pulls across the
shoe during one shine, it would make
the brush travel but a mile in earn
ing that cash.
Wiley quit Norfolk TO go to Dead
wood, where he may buy a share Of
