Spearfish. S. D., Ju.s- 6.-An unusual
ty vehement charivari party resulted in
a police court episode, numerous fines,
snd some bad feeling all around. Last
week Charles Carey and Miss Bessie
Craig, both of this city, were married
at Belle Fourche. After a brief trip
they returned to Spearfish and a num-
Der of young men prepared to give
.hem an old time charivari. Their first
move was to steal all the ice cream
which had been ordered for expected
guests that evening, and their next to
call the bridegroom out on the porch
and demand that he purchase a keg of
peer for them. When this was refused,
hey resorted to the more extreme
measure of ducking the groom head
hrst into the creek. Mr.. Carey has
since preferred charges against the
overly Jealous young men and they
nave all appeared in the Justices court
and paid fines and costs in the case.
They were first charged with assault
and paid for that, and then with lar

creamy for which they paid individually

DEADwooD TAKES EXCEPTIONS.
Social Plane of Mining Town Higher
Than New York.

Deadwood. S. d., July 12.-Deadwood
for so long the premier mining camp,
resents With all the force of it's native
strength the insnuation of Assistant
District Attorney Mott of New York
that it is now or ever was below or on
a level with the ungodly metropolis of
which he is representative.
When Harry Thaw was remanded to
the Tonbs for the murder of Stanford
White, Attorney Mott in response to
"a question said:
What is there in this case? 1t is
simply question Of whether New.
York has gone down to the level of a
mining camp or whether a man has
got chance for his life
The vices of a mining camp are
open; no one takes advantage OF the
innocent and helpless. The typical
,clubman," whose prey is young girls,
would not last thirty minutes in a
mining camp. There is no place in the
world so safe for a woman as one of
these camps and not even the streets
of New York or the studios of the
wealthy men can afford the protection
combed, unlempt camps of Deadwood.
What's that you say?" asked Dead
wood Dick. the report of whose death
has been greatly exaggerated. "Why,
New York is at the bottom of Dead
woods deepest mine shaft; you might
say down to the 400 level Out here
we know what's going on and regulate
it: they're assassins down there. This
Nere Deestrict Attorney Mott better
come west and see a moral town once
before he shoots off any more. I'd like
Ito go down there and learn him a cou-
pie o things"

TERRoRIsTs ARE ACTIVE.
Band of Thirty-Fi1e Are Captured by
Moscow Police.

Moscow. July A band of thirty
ffve terrorists. with full equipment o,
bombs and revolvers, was captured by
the police here.
st. Petersburg, July A point
strongly brought out in the parliament.
Bialystok is that there was no reli-
gious hatred of the Jews among the
peaceful Russian population.
The fighting was confined to the po-
lice, troops and Black Hundred on one
side and the Jews and revolutionists
on the other. The parliamentary COM
mission found overwhelming evidence
that the outbreak was deliberately pre-
pared.
After the assassination of Chief OF
Police DerkachoT proclamations were
scattered broadcast by the police
among the soldiers and Black Hundreds
charging the Jews with being enemies
of the Russian -4>.e and Responsible
for the revolutii styling the lower
house "the Jews .iou1na."
Police Directed Rioting.
The commission cites proof on every
hand that after the rioting started it
was directed by the police and sup
ported by the troops who fired on the
Jews and Jewish houses. The report
does not specifically place the blame for
throwing the original bomb into pro-
cession although it says revolver shots
were fired and that the bomb was
thrown later, among the Black Hun
dred accompanying the procession
Sherometiff, the police officer who fled
from Bialystok to Wilma after the riot
