Doubtless believing that in some
manner they can profit from the fight
between the republican factions, the

advantage rs they can of the situation.
With the object Of outlining their
course during the political campaign Of

chairman Of the democratic state cen

were arrested on complaint OF Game
Warden Farnham Hall, of Lead, and
will have to stand trial. The game
warden charges the men with deliber-

Rather than face charge OF adultery,
Walter Hamilton, well known in bust
ness circles at Belle Fourche, aud repu-
ted to be wealthy, has fed. His case
was called before Circuit Judge Rice,
Monday and his $500 cash bond declared
forfeited. Hamilton's disappearance
will probably result favorably for Mrs.
Anna Allabaugh, with whom 1t is
alleged he was too intimate, and as his
presence was demanded as witness in
that case, it also went over until the
next term. Hamilton Is married and
has children.

standstill with s'shoo' and a wave of
her apron. When the three grateful
passengers alighted after strenuous
ride, they proceeded to nearby store

Christmas present she soon will not
forget The horses were driverless and
the stage was nearing the creek when

A protest has gone mp from tn, bust
ness men of South Dakota against the
new express rates from South Dakota
points to che Black Hills points. This
rate is higher for instance from Sioux
Falls to Rapid City. and other Black
Hills points. although the mileage Is
less, and this means that Sioux Falls
will be handicapped in doing express
business with the newly opened section,
unless the discrimination against South
Dakota can be cured. Just what rem
sdy can be invoked is not now deter
mined, but II Is certain that something
will be attempted. and that very soon.
