Phonolite is a comparatively rare
form of lava which In the field Is

association with the rich ore deposits
of Cripple Creek.
Men familiar with the Cripple.

Has Klnfoiks Here.

The following paragraph we copy from
the Hot Springs Times Herald. From
numerous complaints that have reached
this Office we are of the opinion Dives
has kinfolks here.
"Hot Springs has within its limits a
proud and naughty family. They want
to live like Dives of old-and they want
Lazarus to gather up the scraps which
fall from their table. To make it easier
for Lazarus, or to show their high mode
of living, they throw the scarps from
the table into the street. Occasionally
it is soup bones, Fridays it is fish bones
and skins, every day it is egg-shells and
several times day it is banana skins
and orange peel. But Lazarus, the
rascal, does not gather up the scraps. In
fact the street in front Of the house looks
as though Lazarus has jumped his job.
And the discarded clothing in front of
the house would gladden. the heart Of a
rag-picker. If Lazarus has a family
they could certainly make use of some of
the articles of lingerie which abound in
front of this house. If Lazarus does
not get busy the city will be obliged to,
that the lives of Dives and his family
may not be engendered by disease"

Fine Display of Vehicles.

Thursday afternoon as the CHRONICLE
reporter was strolling around for an
item Of news he happened to be passing
through an alley in the Bailey lumber
yard when couple of fine buggies at
tracted his eye. Stepping into M. ].
Bailey's Office and inquiring the name
of them, he replied they were the popu-
lar Marshalltown buggies, manufactured
by one of the oldest vehicle firms in
the west. These two top buggies, in the
shed just back of the Office are single
and double-seat, leather finish, heavy
springs, light running, substantial ve-
hicles. After admiring them, MIR. Bailey
offered to show us what he had in the
warehouse across the street, informing
us that he had just received a carload Of
vehicles and sold direct from the car
three buggies to Ernest Bellemore for
his livery barn, and one single buggy
to Rev. Lucas.
His stock of buggies and light wagons
are of Winona, Racine and Marshall
town make-all standard goods of ma
tional reputation. He has fine dis
play of open and top buggies, single and
double seat, full leather finish. Some of
them have canopy top, that can be taFen
off in pleasant weather, if desired. They
also have side curtains and storm aprons
for use in bad weather. One open two
seated rig we noticed had relief springs
at each end of bed, thus equalizing the
weight and riding more comfortable
than side springs alone. Among the
lot is an open, single seat run about,
that is dandy.
However, you must see these vehicles
to appreciate their worth. Anyone
needing a buggy or who contemplate
buying in the near future should exam
inc them early aud get choice. Getting
from mail order house is like "buying
a pig in poke"-you have to take
whatever is sent you, while at Bailey's
you have the pleasure of choosing one
to suit you, before purchasing. They
range in price from $50 to $3.50.
Mr.. Bailey also has we'll selected
stock of standard farm and mountain
wagons of the well-kuown Schuttler,
Winona and Owensboro make, familiar
to our ranchmen and teamsters; also
trucks and half-trucks. He also handles
the Rock Island Special, which has be-
come quite favorite in this country.
Examine M. ]. Bailey's stock of vehi-
cles; he will make price and terms to
suit you.

Cloudburst East of Black Hills.

A stretch of country extending in a
southeasterly direction from Redwater
to Underwood and taking in the towns
of Spearfish, st. Onge and Black Hawk
was visited Tuesday afternoon at about
5 o'clock by a cloud burst that was OF
greater proportions than anything eyer
before experienced in this part of the
country. Old residents of the Black
Hills region who havr witnessed all
varieties of atmospheric conditions, gen.
orally declare that the downpour OF
water was of terrific intensity and by far
exceeded anything they had ever be-
fore encountered.
The deluge which struck Spearfish al
most buried the town and for q few
minutes there was at least two feet oi
water running through the streets.
Along the Spearfsh road the rainfall
reached the dimensions of a waterspout
and at Niger Flat, on practically level
piece of country, there was more than
two feet of water in the road and over
the fields. st. Onge experienced SINH
lar visitation and passing in between
Whitewood and Sturgis, it raised creeks
above the food water mark and washed
out long section Of the Northwestern
track two miles this side of Sturgis.
The towns of Sturgis and Whitewood

but its course took it through Black
Hawk where it accomplished great dam.

of Rapid City on the Pierre line of the

swept away one of the Northwestern
bridges at that place.-Pioneer-Times
