LAWRENCE COUNTY IN Joy.
Old Court House Will Give Way t
More M odern Ruildinu,

Deadwood, s.. D., March 19.-The
Lawrence county court house, built by
the late Fred r. Evans, formerly a
prominent resident of Sioux City, is
about to be torn down preparatory to
the erection Of q new building. This
old court house has been in use for over
twenty-five years and has been the
scene Of many famous trials.
The past thirty years have been
famous ones in the legal history of this
county. The first court held in Dead
wood was held by Judge G.. G. Bennett,
territorial judge. and the first seat Of
justice was a key Of nails in the tin
shop in the rear of Star & Bullock's
hardware store. Captain Seth Bullock,
now United States marshal of South
Dakota, was the first sheriff.
1t was before the advent of the law to
Deadwood that Wild Bill was shot from
the real while playing cards in the No.
10 saloon; but equally interesting cases
came up afterwards. One peculiar case,
often quoted today by the old time law
yers, vas that known as the Callison
case. A man named Couk n a wom-
an, Mrs. Bonghton, were arrested for
the murder OF Mrs. Callison, the first
school teacher in the Black Hills, who
was found dead in her bed one August
morning, The peculiar. feature Of the
CAGE was that Couk, Who vas charged
with conspiring with Mrs. Boughton to
commit the murder n who was tried
first, was found guilty, While Mrs.
Broughton, who vas charged with the
murder itself. was acquitted. Couk
served but a short term IN the peniten-
tiary, being pardoned out. He was aft
erwards hung some place down in New
Mexico for murder, and 1t is said, con-
fessed at that time to having killed Mrs.
Callison.
The various judges who have presid-
ed in this circuit and IN this old court
house were G. G. Bennett, afterwards
delegate to congress; G. G. Moody, aft
erwards United states senator; w. e.
Church, now a prominent lawyer in
Chicago; Charles Thomas, deceased; A.
j. Plowman and Joseph 3. Moore, both
now engaged in the practice of law in
this county, and W. Il. Rice, the incum-
bent,

THE CATTLE ON RANGE
ARE WINTERING WELL
There Are Fewer Dead Cattle
Observed Than for Many
Years Past.
THE RANGE is NUMBERED
Clerks, SchooIna'ams and Farmers Are
Filing So Fast on Land That Cat
tIemen Will Be Forced to Re-
duce Their Herds.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 17.-John
w. Hutchinson has just received a let,
ter from his son, who is conducting a
ranch northwest Of Pierre. He writes
that the past winter has been a most
Favorable one for stock. The death
losses nave been the lowest since he
went on the range, as the recent storm
had no bad effects. While there was
plenty Of snow the weather was not
cold. In fact, the mercury did not
reach the freezing point on hat sec
ton of the range. He states that since
the storm he has travelled 4 good many
miles and was most ~agreeably surprised
to find so few dead cattle.
Mr.. Hutchinson thinks the days of
the big cattlemen are numbered. He
tells Of the situation in his 1mlmediatet
neighborhood. Thousands of acres OF
lane in that section have been filed on
the past year by clerks, school teach-I
ers and other young people. AS a rule
these people have not made actual set
Element. They AVE made the neces-
sary improvements but have not fenced,
which leaves the land free for the
range Of the cattle. However, as soon
as these lands are proven up on and
are sold to actual settlers, which will
come in the near future. then viii the
fences spring up and put the cattlemen
out Of business.
Cattle on foot are at the present time
selling at the lowest point known for
the past fifteen years, n at the same
time meat on the block is bringing as
high a price as known during the past
fifteen years. Then the members of
the beef trust want the people 10 be-
lieve that there is nothing in their
business for a committee TO inVesti-

DEATH.
May Be Dave" Rogers, Hermit-Trap-
per, Met Foul PIay.


Sioux Falls. S. D., March 20.-"Dave''
Rogers, a hermit-trapper, whose home
for some years was on the Big Sioux
river In the southern part of Lincoln
county, although finely educated, with
out doubt y maj OF refinement when
he lived with his fellows, had tho
strange fate of meeting his death amid
the most squalid surroundings, and un-
der circumstances which indicate tina
he may have been the victim of foul
play.
During the earlier years OF his man
hood it is believed Rogers met With a
serious disappointment in love, and
that because of this he adopted the life
of a hermit. After turning his face
away from his fellow nan he sought
refuge in the most secluded spot he
could find on the Sioux river, where
his only recreation was trapping such
animals as vet inhabit the banks and
waters Of the stream. His home was
in a rude shack dug out of a hill
size and covered with rough boards.
When found dead in his hut the her
mit-trapper vas lying In a huddled
heap on the floor. Under him a 38-cal-
iber revolver, with three chambers
empty. A loaded shotgun with both
hammers cooked a lying on a bench
at his back. In the back of his head
was a. hole, presumably a bullet hole.
This was an inch and a half behind and
above the right ear. The hair was
slightly powder burned. ,
He evidently had been dead for some
little time when found. as parts of his
body INK his face We're frozen stiff.
Rats. which are numerous in the
shack and vicinity. had commenced
to gnaw the flesh from his face and
head. One of the mysteries of the case
is that the bullet did not pass entirely
through the head, the caliber of the
weapon being sufficient to blow the
head 10 pieces.
10 the persons with whom he con-
Nersed he stated that he was afraid of
being. killed: that his life a beer
threatened. and that he feared he would
stop a bullet some day. No one paid
m attention to this. however. as the
hermit-trapper was said to be an opium
eater and It was believed his fears were
the outgrowth of Il disordered nina.

BIG APPLE INDUSTRY.
Black Hills Soon to Supply Middle
West Markets..

Spearfish, S. D., March 2O.-The apple
raising industry bids fair to be one of
the greatest industries in the western
part of South Dakota. A few years
ago it was believed that his was not
a fruit country, but recent expert
ments have proved the contrary most
effectively. The exhibit car that went
out from the Hills last fall took with it
thirty-three varieties of apples, all Of
which had matured and were equal in
size, flavor n perfection to any ap-
pies raised in any part Of the United
States. All the six counties Of the
Black Hills We're represented; but the
industry in this part of Lawrence coun-
" is unusually we'll developed. Joseph
Wells, who has one of the largest or
chards in the state, located just three
miles west Of this city, says that from
an orchard of ten acres, many of the
trees not bearing full crops, he sold
1874 bushels Of apples at an average
price of 81 rs a bushel, that he had re-
tanned enough for his own use, had
made eight barrels of cider, sold 500
worth of cherries plums and pears and,
In addition TO this, had cut from the
same ground eighteen tons of hay,
which he sold for So q ton. He figures
that an orchard ten years old with
thorough cultivation will pay 10 per
cent. on a valuation of $4,000 an acre
when in full bearing with only q par
tia crop.
President Cook Of the State Normal
school gives interesting figures similar
to these, II from the statistics given
by the various successful apple grow
ers. he following conclusions have
been reached: Ninety trees are planted
to the acre and the cost of 2-year-oId
trees laid down at any railroad station
is from lie to 1Sc each. If conditions
are at all favorable the crops the first
five or six years will not only pay for
the trees and their cultivation, but in
many instances will pay a dividend on
the investment. AT the end of five years
the trees, cultivated properly VIII av-
erage n bushel to the tree on a basis
of 1000 trees. and in ten years time,
from five to nine bushels a tree. One
of the most successful apple owe in
this section says that some of his trees
Is years old yielded as much as sixteen
bushels TO the tree this last season.
A movement Is on foot to establish q
horticultural society to educate the
people on the lines of horticulture, and
to increase interest in this immense in
dustry In the Black Hills. The work
being don by the Spearfsh Normal
school IS OF incalculable aid In this d.
rection.

A PERIL0US JOURNEY
ON MISS0URPS ICE
Two Men and a Girl Cross
Shaky Field and Arrive
Safely.
PROVIDED WITH POLES
rhe Swift Running Water Could B.
Easily Seen Through the Thin Ice
Long Time Without Mail
Prompted the Trip.

Yankton. S. D, March 19~.-Situated
as this town is, with a large river on
the south, with no bridge across OF per-
n character, there are bound to
be every winter some perilous cross
ings. But it remained for D c. Nose
and a small party TO yesterday beat all
records in daring.
For three weeks the condition of the
river at this point has mad it i'm
possible to cross with mail and COM
munication a been completely cut off
by the thin ice which formed after the
river broke up the third week in Feb
ruary.
Tired Of being without their mail for
so long q period. e. c. Nose, Chris
H~oltzbauer, W young men by Se
name of Weber, with the iatter'S sis
ter, who was due in Sioux City, all
started across, provided with twelve
feet poles for Zach member of the
party.
There was no place in the journey
where the poles could not be sent clear
through the ice at II thrust and no
where could bottom be reached. 1t
was with many misgivings that the
party picked its way and many close
calls were experienced. Finally this
side was gained by all except one Of
the party, who broke through the ice
two feet from shore n wen down in
four feet of water.
1t was without doubt the most risky
crossing Of the river here tina was ever
accomplished with safety, II was the
more remarkable that a young girl
made the trip with some of the most
Venturesome men on the river bank.
The ice was SO thin that the swift
running river could easily be seen un-
derneath as the party carefully and 81
lently picked its way. A chance or
careless step. as has many a time hap
pened, n one or more lives would
have been snuffed out under the ice
with no chance at rescue.
