Land Office. Chauncey NJ. Wood and
a. ii. Maxwell appeared for Mr.. Per-
kins and claimed that though Mrs.
Raymond had located the land be-
fore she had married, that her resi-
dence on the land after she had mar
ried was not in compliance with the
law, as the legal residence of a wife
in the home of her husband. Mrs.
Raymond was represented by Attor-
ney r. P. Stewart of Deadwood. Act
ing on his advice Mrs. Raymond APP
pealed the case to the commissioner
of the land Office at Washington,
who upheld the contentious of Per-
kin's attorneys in all points. Mrs.
Raymond, however, was determined
to fight to the last ditch and again
appealed, this time to the secretary
of the interior.
Today she received the welcome
news that the secretary of the depart,
ment had ruled in her favor, and
that her title to the land would
hereafter be u%ndisputed. The CASE
is considered an important one, a:

Claim Contest Decision.

A Deadwood paper published the
account of a contest cas-
that is of more than passing interest
to homesteaders, especially the sin
gle ladies who contemplate or want
to marry. The decision V points
that have been speculative in the
minds Of the lady homesteaders for
some time and now that their stand
ing both before and after marriage
is made clear it may be hat some
deferred marriages may be brought
to a speedy and happy consumma-
ton.
The paper in commenting OF the
decision says:
Word was received from Washing
ton today that Mrs. Raymond, whose
right and title to a homestead be-
low Whitewood has been contested
for the past two years, has at last
scored a complete victory by a de-
~cision rendered yesterday by the
secretary of the interior in her ia
vor.
Mrs. Raymond's title to the land
in question was contested by David

case was first tried at the Rapid City

AttcmDted to Kill.

Lead has a mysterious and SEN
sation shooting affair to fathom.
Last week q young man employed
by the Homestake company was fired
at while he was on his way up South
Lead. The party who did the shoot
ing suddenly appeared on the OPP
posite side of the street and without
any warning pulled a gun and fired.
The bullet went wild and no II was
hurt.
After taking a shot the wouldbe
assassin took to his heels and es-
capped before his identity could be
established. Who the party was that
fired the shot and what >his motive
was, is the question bothering the
minds of the residents of our neigh
boring town, as the man fired at is a
quiet, u~nassuming citizen and was
not aware that he had an enemy in
town.

the petition directing this Yavapai
delegation in the legislature never to
miss a lick whenever a railroad head
appeared The dispersion" consisted
of the statement by the Republican
that the signers of that petition
were unknown outside of Prescott. The
Democrat explains its belated defense
by saying that at the time it did not
know whether that statement was true
or not. After five days OF dihgent and
microscopic inquiry it has ascertained
that all these signers are entitled TO
inches in the Hall of Fame and that
if they are not enrolled in who's Who
in America" it is the fault OF the col
lectors Of that record Of distinc-
ton. Having ascertained that the
trump Of fame is filled with the names
Of these signatories. the Democrat
blows ii Indignantly. The Republican
still protests that obscurity is not
crime and accepts the result of the
Democrats investigation showing that
a knowledge of the worthiness and
greatness OF these petitioning Prescott
ians is not confined within the boun-
daries Of Goose Flats. Now what else
on earth can the Democrat want be-
side this acknowledgment of error and

A splendid and most representative
audience greeted the young people.
The Park opera house was almost
completely filled, there being but few
empty seats down stairs or in the
balcony and gallery The attendance
was surely most satisfactory.
The entertainment was given IN
der the auspices of the choir of ST
Matthews church, and was for the
benefit of that church A neat sum
was realized for church purposes.
Every member of the cast deserves
much credit and praise for his or her
work, and several of the young peo-
pie proved themselves peculiarly and
decidedly talented in histrionic work.
The cast had been well selected, the
roles well placed by Mr.. Gray. and
as result the performance moved
OFF smoothly, naturally and most sat

there was not a single unpleasant
