Can the U. s. Sell Dead Timber.

The question whether or not the
UuIted States government has the right
10 sell dead and down or bug-infested
tim Der from mining claims which are
held under location and are not patent.
ed, tor the purpose OF preventing the
spread of the disease, when the holder
of such claims objects to the removal OF
the timber, will Oe brought before the
United States conrt in Deadwood at It's
next session. This is the first time the
question has been submitted to federal
court and the outcome of the suit will be
watched with interest Following are
the facts in the litigation:
The suit of Harbach against Garlock
and Ainslie involving the right Of the
government to sell diseased or infested
timber from the Black Hills national
forest has been removed from the state
court to the United States court and will
be tried in Deadwond at the May term
of court. The defendants purchased
from the government, dead and down
timber and timber infested with des-
tructive insects, bugs and timber beet
les, the removal of which from the ma
tlonal forest was necessary TO prevent
the spread of the ravage of the insects
and damage to the growing timber ui
the Black Hills national forest. The
plaintiffs claiming that a portion of the
land from which the timber was 10 be
cut was included in certain mining
claims held by them, brought suit for
damages and asked that an injunction
be issued against the removal by the
defendants of any of the timber upon
the mining claims The Uni ed States,
represented by the United States dis.
trict attorney, intervened in the case on
behalf of the government and the state
circuit court allowed the case to be re-
moved to the federal court for trial.

Death of Mrs. ]. M. Lewis.

The Boonvile (N " Herald of March
18th has the following account of the
death Of an old resident of Custer
In last weeks Herald was the sad
news of the death of an old resident ot
Remsen. Mrs. Mary Williams received
the sad tidings Thursday of the death
of another sister Mrs kirtie Lewis, also
Of Sioux City. Mrs. Lewis as stated in
last weeks Herald was born in Steuben
She married Josiah Lewis and since that
had always lived in the west Since the
death Of her husband she had lived
with her sister in Sioux City. Mrs
! Lewis had suffered a stroke some wears
ago and last fall sustained another,
which had left her nearly helpless, al
though 10 the very last her intellect was
as clear and strong as ever. The shock
of her sisters death in her weakened
condition was the cause of her immedi-
ate death, which occurred the llth inst
Mrs. Lewis was S3 years Of age. Beside
the nephews and neces in the west and
In New York state, she leaves the two
sisters, Mrs Mary Williams of this place
and Mrs Blanche Ovens of Clinton to
| mourn her loss. A few years ago Mrs
| Lewis spent year in Remsen with her
sister, Mrs. Mary Williams and nephew,
| E. + Samuel, and thus became known
to the younger people Of the town and
| renewed acquaintance with former
| friends Mrs. Lewis descriptions of
overland journeys, encounters with In
dians and details Of experience in camp
and mining life were exceptionally real
istic and instructive. A different per
| iods Mrs. Lewis resided in Wyoming,
1 Anufh do knta Montana ('nlnruln lpxp,
and other Western States, and always in
her experiences with different people in
d tferent stations of life found more of
the good than the bad, more brightness
| than darkness Hers was the disposi-
| tion that could readily for herself and
others make bright places in life 1t
can truly be said of Mrs. Lewis that she
was remarkable woman with remark
able experiences Her sister here b IS
the sympathy of large circle Of friends
extended to her in this double bereave-
ment in the loss of her two sisters in so
short a time"
Mrs. Lewis was for many years resi-
dent of this city. She came to Custer in
company with her husband in 1879, aud
remained here until after his death in
1899, when she moved to Sioux City to
spend the last of her remaining years
among relatives and friends. She
was most highly esteemed by a large
circle of friends and acquaintances in
Custer, AS esimable, intelligent and well
informed lady, a faithful friend and
kindly neighbor. She was an earnest
Christian woman and an active member
OF the Congregational church in Custer
from very early date.
Mrs. Lewis visited the Hills once since
her husbands death, six yaers ago this
summer.

Primary Law is Under Amusement.
judge McGee In the circnit court VI

Judge McGee in the circuit court yes
/ terday listened to arguments in thu
! nhandamus proceedings in which j. +
| Balliuger, socialist candidate for county
| treasurer Is seeking to force the county
! auditor to place his name on the prim
| AIRY ballot, notwithstanding he has re
| fused to pay the fee Of SIS as prescribed
by the statute. K. {. Hayes appeared
| for the petitioner, with Freeman Know.
| les of council ana States Attorney K. T.
| Stewart, represented the respondent.
The question involved was whether Oh
not candidates constitutional rights
are infringed upon by demanding thai
! he pay such fee and the greater part oi
| the principal arguments offered bv both
sides, was devoted TO reviews of the de
clslons of the supreme courts of other
states that have passed on the matter.
The question that seems most important
Is whether the primary Is in reality an
election or merely party caucus; if ii
Is the former then it must be governed
by the provisions of the state Constitu-
ton regarding elections if it is eau
Gus, then the trainers of the constitution
did not have II in mind when that instru-
ment was drawn and the constitution
cannot be used TO measure the legality
of the primary law.
The states attorney contended that
the primary is in fact nothing more than
JOINT caucus of the different political
parties, for the regulation of which the
legislature has made certain laws for it's
government and the including in these
regulations the requirement Of fee for
the filing of petitions, is not unreasOn-
able He quoted decision of the su-
preme court of Minnesota which sus
tanned the primary election law and
pointed out that the South Dakota stat.
ute is based on the very law in force in
that state.
The petitioner held that the exacting
of a fee is an abridgement of mans
constitutional rights and made their
principal fight on the lines of a decision
of the supreme court of North Oak ota,
in which the law in that state was de-
clared to be unconstitutional. In that
case the court held that the primary is
in reality an election and not caucus
In this connection the states attorney
held that it cannot be regarded as an
election for the reason that the constitu-
ton provides that general election can
be held only once in two years and these
primary elections NAV be held an indeti-
mite number Of times each year.
The petitioner also cited decisions bv
the supreme courts of Illinois and Ne
braska, which had held such laws un-
constitutional, but in the latter case the
fee which ranged from $40 to 5000 was
held to be unreasonable. In the Mime
sofa case the court held that a fee oi
from $40 to 500 was reasonable
At the conclusion of the arguments,
the court took the matter under advise
ment and intimated that he would hand
down a decision at an early date so that
there will be ample time to finally dis
pose of the matter before the primary
election. .-Pioneer-Times.
