The Hoar Anti-Injunction Bill.

Many persons have probably for-
gotten all about the character Of the
anti-injunction bill which passed the
Senate in 1896, approving reference to
which was made in the Democratic
platform adopted at Denver. Tho bill
was introduced by Senator George
Frisbie Hoar. and simply defined con-
tempt Of court. One class Of such
cases was defined as direct Contempt
that is, contempt d committed, during
the sitting of court, or of a judge in
chambers. in its or his presence, or so
near thereto as to obstruct the admin
istration Of justice, Senator Hoar's
bill provided that direct contempt
might be punished summarily, but
those cases coming under the head Of
indirect contempt consisting of acts
OF contempt not committed in the, pres
ence of the court, were to be punished
in more deliberate fashion. The bill
provided:
That upon the return OF an officer
OF process, OF an affidavit duly filed,
showing any person guilty OF indirect
contempt, writ of attachment or
other lawful process may Issue, and
such person be arrested and brought
before the court and i thereupon a
written accusation. setting forth sue
c!nctly and clearly the facts alleged
to constitute such contempt, shall be
filed. and the accused required to
answer tho same. by an order which
shall fix the time therefor, and also
the time and place for. hearing the
matter; and the court may. on proper
showing. extend the time so as to give
tfo accused reasonable opportunity
t. purge himself OF such contempt"
The bill further provides that in case
the accused should refuse or fail to
answer; the court might proceed at the
fixed time to hear. Testimony and de-
eide the case. But In case the ac-
cused appeared and answered, tho trial
was to proceed as In criminal cases.
but such trial to be by the court un-
less In It's discretion 1t should see fit
to grant the application Of the accused
for trial by jury. The most radical
demand that tho worlxingmen have ever
made in connection with legislation IT.
fectlng the granting Of injunction is
that contempt In such cases shall be
tried BY a Jury, and before a Judge
other than the one who granted the
Injunction. Mr.. Hoar. a bulwark Of
conservatism, proposed to grant the
jury trial, though he did not 90 SO
far as to provide that tho case should

The republicans of this county
have no reason for changing their
vote from republican candidate for
a democratic candidate-no matter
who the candidate is. Several o1
them are making campaign on the
ground OF friendliness and that they
have been long time residents Of the
county. 1t should not cut any figure
with the support of the candidates

Reptilian age. The lighter parts of
animal matter, as stated above, were
carried off to the north and east.
The Cheyenne river az q result of
the uplift was forced to seek north
erly course and join the Belle Fourche,
and for a long time the waters of
these rivers, which In that age were
streams, spread over large part of
the present Cheyenne valley forming
large sand deposits in places, and in
other places carrying away the sedi-

AS have attempted to show, the
Bad Lands are not of volcanic origin,
as many suppose. They are merely
the result of a slow uplift and then
cut out by erasion. Therefore they
have no mineral deposits, at least not
as far as l have been. The heat was
not intense enough on account of the
water which covered the surface to
turn the moisture present into hot
alkaline solutions of silica, which

place was where now the Bad Lands
are situated, and the Cheyenne river
the inlet.
At this age the interior forces
which had brought about the upheav-
al which is now known as the Black
Hills were not entirely spent, but
partially choked at the main craters
and consequently seeking another
outlet. Thus the underlying stratas
became heated to such an extent that
the water was set in rapid motion,
the heated water flowing toward the
heated section to take the place of
the departing hot water. During
this process the fish and other sea
animals were killed and their heavJ
remains deposited, while the lighter
parts were carried of. Thus, during
long and successive disturbances the
different stratas we're formed. From

the escape of mineral gasses, which
gave the different stratas their varied

mineral nature of the escaping gases
these assures can still be traced by
