THREE GOLDEN WEDDINGS.
Western Pioneers Celebrate Anniyer-
saries at Belle Fourche.

Three golden wedding anniversaries
have been celebrated in Belle Fourche
in thirty days. The couples are Rev.
I. Thirloway and wife, James Newland
and wife and John Barr and wife.
James Newland and wife came to the
Black Hills as pioneers in 1876, when he
made filing on an irrigation water
right which was the first one recorded
in Dakota territory. Sigle-handed he
constructed nine miles of ditch, using
OK teams for the work. He is known
locally as the father of irrigation.
John Barr and wife came to South
Dakota in 1887 and have resided in
Belle Fourche eight years. Rev. 7.
Thirloway and wife came to Belle
Fourche six years ago

CHAPTER XVI.

Y WAS taken, in company with Jack
Mount, on Monday morning, the
18th Of October. 1774. without
4 warrant or process, without a
shadow OF legal right, without the
faintest Justification or excuse, save
that had been seen conversing with
Mount on the mall and had resisted
the thief taker Bishop and his filthy
gang Of bailiffs.
From the Goth of October until the
18th day of December, chained ankle
a steel collar from which chains hung
and were riveted to the rings on my
legs, lay In that vile iron cage known
as the pirates Chapel" in company
with Mount.
During those six weeks not a mo-
ment passed in which despaired, not
an hour dragged out its chain of min
utes but believed 1t must be the hour
for my delivery from this hideous in
Justice.
From the minute / had entered the
chapel the dull amazement which
had fettered mind and body in a
strange paralysis gave way to deadly
patience. My benumbed faculties grew
clear; every sense became abnormally
alert. Calmly l faced the terrible d.
lemma. probed its consequences
coolly. understood that while Wal
ter Butler held the governors ear and
while the governor held the civil pow
er at his own pleasure and used 1t as
within or caprice moved him I could
neither hope for a hearing before
magistrate nor dare expect a trial by
my countrymen.
As for communication with the out
side world, with friends, even with
hostile relatives or with the governor
himself, there was no possible chance.
Our steel cage was set In the center of
q stone chamber, the barred windows
rade, bounded on the east by Cornhill.
on the west by fremont street and
on the south by School street and the
dead wall inclosing Kings chapel
The light in the stone chamber was
cool and gray-clear enough. yet never
tinged with sunlight. Night brought
thick, troubled shadows creeping
around the single candle which drip
ped from an iron socket riveted to the
wall. Then the shades Of the jailers
fell across the floor as the large Ian
thorn was set outside In the corridor,
and all night long the shutting tread
Of the sentry marked the dead march
Of time.
For three days now had not touch
cd the broth which was set on the
straw beside me; I do not know that
should have made the effort to eat
at all except for an accident. 1t hap
pened In this manner: One day toward
the middle OF December / had been
lying on my belly trying to think out
something of that future which had
not yet despaired Of. Musing there,
nose buried in my arms, lay almost
on the verge Of slumber, yet with one
eye on the corridor beyond, when
saw distinctly woman's face peer
through the thick grating which sep
arated the corridor from our stone
chamber.
After awhile the face disappeared.
I lay still q moment. then touched
Mounts arm.
He turned his haggard face to me.
"Bishops daughter h In the corri-
DOR" l whispered.
~WhereT asked Mount vacantly.
'-Out there behind the grating. She
may do something for-for you If she
shouId. I think we had better try to
eat"

PLATO WOULD APPROVE HIM

Spaniards admire President Roosevelt.
The regard in which he is held. as some
thing mitch better than ordinary Ameri-
cans, is shown in the following trans
lation from Blanco V Negro (white and

drid. Spain, under date or June, 1906:
'"rhe Intervention which he has taken
In the negotiations FOR peace between
Russia and Japan brings into prominent
notice the personality or the President
of the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt, who so short
q time ago was so terribly abused by
The Spaniards. is. notwithstanding, a
type OF ancient and qu.xotic Spain.
Theodore Roosevelt is strong,
healthy man of high ideals. absolutely
distinct from the conventional type OF
the fuli-blooded Yankee, of which we
are accustomed to think
Better Than Salisbury.
I'm books. and in discourse. with
tongue. pen. and with the rife. fulfilling
all forms OF human expression. Roose-
welt has proclaimed the empire OF the
strong, but not in the insulting and irri-
tating manner cf Lord Salisbury in
speaking OF mo-ibund nations
1T is enough to read the books OF
Roosevelt to become convinced that the
strength for which he strives is almost
holy; IL is an ideal of justice, OF honor,
worthy of being approved by Plato.
This is man who sees things clear
ly. and who asks for and requires clear
ness in others. An interchangeable hunter.
he has learned to pursue the wild beasts
and to tame wild horses. like a cowboy,
end with equal holiness and calmness he
hunts and prosecutes infamous men who
speculate with the health and with the
security of the citizens of New York
city.
"A man like Roosevelt. who spent two
years of his life On cattle ranch, Just
at the age when his political opportuni-
ties Were first developing. decided to
forego all reading of books and periodi-
Gals in order that he might strengthen
his bodily forces SO that he might spring
with renewed yigor into the arena of
life, is an example worthy of imitation.
No vulgarity of Wealth.
at is we'll also to note that President
Roosevelt is a great friend of the arts
and sciences. Despicable are those
Americans who value the poets services
to his nation less than the services of
an iron manufacturer. What is there i'll
common between such a character as
Roosevelt ard the vulgar type OF :,
