to clearly make good the allge-
ton that they are the men want
ed. The accused are in the
county jail awaiting adate for
a preliminary trial which was
expected this week, but it is not
probable on account Of the nom
arrival Of important Witnesses.
The accused are hopeful Of an
other acquittal no doubt on the
grounds that the case against
them, cannot be proven. One
thing is certain, and thati is that
nothing will be left undone, and
that no clue or deduction will
be overlooked on the part Of
the state to solve the mystry Of
the murder in the box-car, and
all its shocking details.

IS the New $50, 900 Opera House
Ike Humphrey In Chicago
for! the plans

AS result ola final canvass
among local investors, ais pre-
dicted by the UNION last week,
there was nearly enough money
forthcoming to build the new
opera house. Mr.. Ike Humph-
rey, the chief mover in the en-
terprise left for Chicago Sunday

Mr.. Humphrey is well-knowh
in Rapid City and the Hills
country, and, although having
the reputation of being some
what reticient and unassuming
he was never yet known to get
"cold feet'' on any enterprise
that he undertook, He is for
Rapid City's interests first, last

his opinion as to the new opera
house being a ''payer'' by tax

A Little Advice about
Alfalfa plantinl.

Advice is usually cheap, but
cheap advice sometimes is good
and if followed may pay large
dividends on the investment.
1t is best not to put all your
eggs in one basket, accidents
will happen, your foot may slip
"a bad season may come--the
wheat crop may be short and
the corn may fail "a hard winter
may deplete the stock on the
range.
To provide against all these
contingencies every ranchman
and farmer in Nebraska and
South Dakota should select ten
acres Of level land, in a valley
if possible. where sheet water
can be reached at a depth Of
not to exceed twenty-five feet,
and putt in alfalfa. II east Of
the one hundredth meridian see
that the tract is well drained
west of thatit does not matter
SO much as the rainfall is not
excessive. Fin the regions less
favored by rains arrange for ir-
rigation either from river or
wells until a perfect stand has
secured.
This will not cost much and
will lead the way! to intensive
farming, and more eco nomical
stock-raising There 7s more
money, security and general
happiness in small diversified
farming than in haphazard
Z f E =
methods.
Ten acres of alfalfa is enough
to inaugurate the change. Di-
vide it up into small fields and
experiment with hogs, sheep,
and dairy cows until you know
your land and how to use the
alfalfa crop tothe best advant-
age. Then put out as many
acres as your farm will allow.
Go into it as a business, using
your brains, and within three
years success should be yours.

(.& \. v. TO EXTEND
REPORTED THAT THEY WILL
BUILD MORE LINES
60 WEST FROM BELLE FouRcnE
Rapid City TO get the Western
Machine Shops Of the
Company

In the event, as stated, in the
following news item from
Helena, Montana, that the
the Northwestern should push
its lines westward from Belle
Fourche, and there are every
indications tnat it will. Rapid
City, will by reason of it's re-
sources and location, get the
western shops Of the company.
This will mean one thousand
added to its growth. The dis
patch says; Rumors which
frequently have beenin circula-
ton that it is the intention of
the Chicago and Northwestern
road to extend its line into
Montana, have been revived,
and circumstantial evidence
seems to indicate that the COM
ing summer will witness actual
work on the extension. The
last year the Northwestern
pushed. a line across South Da-
kota to Rapid City. Heavy rails
were laid and massive steel and
stone bridges thrown across the
Missouri river and other streams
would indicate that the line was
intended for constant and
heavy traffic.
Railroad men say that the
Northwestern is going to pro-
tect thestrade it already has in
the way of cattle and stock
shipments, andth to do SO it
will find it necessary to extend
it's lines. It is declared that
from Belle Fourche the North
western will build a line to Bill
ings, up thenorth bank OF. the
Yellowstone river to Livingston,
to get the park trade, thence up
Shields river, over on the east
fork of the Mussellshell and
down Smith River to Fort Lo-
gan, where the road will go by
way of Whites Passto Helena,
up Ten Mile to Priests Pass,
which is declared to be every
bit as good as the Mcdonald,
and tunnels will be avoided.
Branch lines, according to
this report are to be built to
Great Falls and Butte, the
Butte line gong by way of Red
Mountain, thereby making the
line shorter than either the

The January session of the

Gee on the bench on order Of

off the first of the week on ac-
count of pressing business for
his honor and district attorney
Woods at Hot Springs.
The immediate business here
was disposed of, however, in q
prompt manner which cleared.
up slate of the criminal cases
that was ripe for disposal.
John Peterson was in the
tolls Of the statutes on two
counts. He was charged with
the larceny Of a gold watch from
an inmate of an alleged disor-
derly place in the tenderloin
district. He was subsequently
discovered taking after and
frightening schoolgirls with
questionable intent and in
such a manner that he was run
down, and also run in on the
charge of attempted assault. To
both of these charges Mr.. Peter
son confessed, and le was there
fore given time upon the first
charge as a startertoward Sioux
Falls. The tilching Of the
watch was by the court thought
to be worth one years imprison-
ment at hard labor.
Fred G. johnson, who was
overhauled at Chadron some
three weeks ago, with a roll Of
money for which he had sold a
bunch Of six horses belonging
to a Mrs. Bruner, of Rapid City
and which were missing from
the Russell pasture up near the
old Indian school building, also
appeared before the court. Mr..
testified in his own be-
half that he purchased the
horses b innocently upon specu-
lation. That he drove them to
Oelrichs and there sold them
at a profit. There were, how
ever, several things in the cir
cumstancial chain that could

county one of the most import
ant civil actions at law that has
been before this court for many
years. The action involves the
entire estate Of the late Jerry
King a formerly well-known
saloon man in this city, and this
is practically a fight for his en-
tire entire estate valued at more
than $4,000.
The story of the case reads
like tangle in law that should
be written by a clever novelist
Of the day. Jerry King came
TO the Hills country IN 1881, ,and
like many other saloon men of
his day, made money in "the
red liquor business and it is
this accumulation Of a quurter
Of a century that. is now being
contended for in the courts.
