TRUCE IN COUNTY SEAT WAR.
Tri-Division Proposition Brings De-
cision to Waive Vote This Year.

County division for Stanley county
appear to be dead for this year. At
a meeting at Philip it was discovered
that while some of the people wanted
~two-county division others would lot
be satisfied with anything but three
county division, and the old boun-
daries of Jackson county restored,
making a new county of that part of
Stanley lying west Of Lyman county.
While no action was taken formally
the sentiment of the people who at
tended the meeting was at its close
that any attempt to divide either in
two or three counties at the present
time would bring on such a contest
that 1t would be better to allow the
matter to go over the election of this
year and be. settled at some time in
the future when further development
would more definitely settle where
the lines should be drawn.

Three Mining Men on Jury That De-

Appealing from a conviction in the
justice court at Deadwood, l.. d. Cuck-
Ter, foreman at the Safe Investment
Mining company's mill on Box Elder
