The amateur hooked Goldfish. but his

with him two sinkers and the hook.
Twenty minutes later another angler
cried out that he had captured a cod with

went up to the angler. who appes red to ne
an old salt. and asked for his hook and
sinkers. which had his name stamped
them. He was surprised when the old salt
told him TO take the fish also.
According to the rules generally fol-

DR.. Goudy's Charge.

and SO lightly upon the only point I'M
mediately in question"
DR.. Goudy's Charge.
In his letter to the London Times, dated
March II last. DR.. Goudy says: The
standard of ethics which DR.. Taylor set
up for himself In the matter of plagiar-
ism is certainly astounding. and he may
rest assured he will find no one in this
country lawyer or laymen to accept il.

possible action for libel. but my two

no one but myself to guard their inter

DIR Taylor now says that he has
given sufficient credit to Muirhead and
Greenidge for what he has taken from
them. continues Prof. Goudy. ITO that

passages that have been taken almost
verbatim from Muirheads book. and in
only one instance has specific acknowi-

over II pages, but how many of those
authorities has he directly consultedc

him. I may say that since writing my

In his reply to Dr. Goudy's first ar
ticle DIR. Taylor quotes a number OF
eminent authorities who. he says. have
Endorsed and commended The Science
of Jurisprudence" and he asserts that
it would not have been approved
cordially If DR.. Goudys charges were
true. 1t would appear that Mr.. Tay-
Tor made mistake in quoting soma
of these Endorsements, for the London
who contradict him directly and accuse
him of nisre presentation. For example.
Prof. Holland of the University Of Ok
ford. in a letter to the editor of the
Times. says:
Il was surprised to see that Or. Han
mis- Taylor. at the end of long letter
from him which appears in the' Times
for Thursday last. includes myself in a
list of persons who have so generously
extended congratulations to him appai
emily upon the contents of his book.
The Science of Jurisprudence
have no desire to take part in very
diSa greeable controversy. but / think IL
is right to say that the passage cited
by DR. Taylor from private letter OF
mine written in 1907 had reference. not
to his then uncompleted work but "a

him in which he propounded a theory

continent and in Latin America
On the book itself, published late in
1908. have expressed no opinion.
Prof. A B. Dicey also comes back a.
DR.. Taylor in savage manner. and
charges him with gross plagiarism and
literary theft. He says:
DIR. Hannis Taylor. I am told, was
informed by his critic that the chars.
would be made. To this most serious
accusation he has not made a single
relevant reply. II is not the orig
inality of the truth of his theories but
his character which is at stake. The
charge of plagiarism cannot be dis
posed of by the piagiarists assertion
that he is original thinker.
Prof. Einogradoff. another eminent
authority. writes to the Times TO say.
DIR. Hannis Taylor replies to Prof.
Goudy's damaging criticism OF his work
by publishing complimentary letters TO
ceiVed from eminent jurists and By
claiming d great discovery in the
science of Jurisprudence. ] am afraid
that this manner of meeting the "a
tack is calculated to produce AN i'm
preston on those who have not fol-
lowed the controversy. When q
definite charge of plagiarism is mad
and supported by striking quotations
expect AN author to ira verse tho

not to appeal to general complimentary
remarks IL. DIR. Taylors work has
been done with scissors and paste. the
compliments may turn out to apply 10

Certainly the likeness between the
passages printed in parallel columns is
startling. We need say no more than
that the charges have been formulated
with degree of precision which calls
for equal precision in reply. DR.. Taylor
may have answer So far he has

Much is said in somewhat famboyant

Has FIVE Veins on his Property.

VIM. Rosenbaum of Custer was an ar
rival in Deadwood yesterday for the pur-
pose of consulting with the officers of
the Black Hills Development and Finan-
cial Corporation, with a view of enter
ing his mining ground in the Bunce
deal. His proposition has been submit
ted and will be referred to Mr.. Bunce at
an early date.
The Rosenbaum mining ground is in
the Custer mining district and not far
from the Saginaw and North Star prop
critics. 1t is highly regarded by mining
men who have examined it and is prob
ably as good piece of mining ground as
there is in that section. A very consid-
erable amount of development work has
been done and what opening up has
been accomplished is carried out by q
systematic manner. 1t has been dem
onstrated that there are five distinct
parallel veins on the property, all Of
which are well defined and have every
appearance of being permanent. They
run with the formation and lie between
distinct walls, being separated by intru-
sions of slate. The widest vein is five
feet wide between walls and has been
exposed in number of places along its
strike. At one point a shaft 30 feet,
showing the same character of ore from
the surface down. One so foot shaft is
down on a three foot ledge, which is
high grade material, some assays hav-
ing run as high as $4,000 to the ton in
gold. The general average value of all
the veins is sufficiently high to make
them an undoubted milling proposition.
In this same locality is the Roosevelt
group of claims, owned by Otto p Tn.
Grantz, which is an excellent piece oil
ground that has been very extensively
opened up, showing many fine expos.
ures of ore. Mr.. Rosenbaum is also in.
terested in the Copper Queen property,
which lies two and a half miles south.
east of Custer and from which a number
of shipments of high grade stuff have
been made.-Pioneer-Times.

The Bridge Question.

Thursday morning County Commits
sioners Clason and Hazeltine, and Mr.
Sedgwick, practical bridgeman, accom-.
panied by w. NJ. Smith, Chas. Stabler
and Jos. Marty, drove out to the Chey.
enne river to view a proposed location
for bridge across that stream. On ac-
count of the train being SO late Mr.
Sidey did not get here in time to 60 out
with them. What is known as the
Grieves crossing seemed to strike the
commissioners most favorably. 1t ap'
pears there is some opposition to this
place from people living across the river
who wish to have the bridge further
down the stream. While the commits
sioners seem favorably disposed toward
the project, there is one thing certain
the people will have to get together,
pull together, and not only lend their
moral but their financial support. Un-
less they do this the prospect for a
bridge across the river at any point will
not be very hattering. 1t will only be
by a united effort that the bridge can
be secured. At the meeting ofthe Com.
mercial Club that evening there was a
good attendance, and all were interested
in what the commissioner and Mr..
Sedgwick had to say.-Buffalogap Gaz.

Miss Hayes was the recipient o
many beautiful gifts, principally of cut

The decorations of the home and tab.

in the evening the guests were each
presented with a gilt heart and instruct
ed to write verse of poetry as a SOU

period of mental Agony the desired re-
suits were obtained, and let no one ever
again doubt the poetical ability of Gus

A most delicious luncheon was served

Death of John Strater-A Pioneer.

Another of the old-time characters of
the Black Hills was called to his reward
when John Strater of Hermosa died at
Rapid City Sunday morning.
Mr.. Strater was, probably, the first
man to locate quartz claim in the Black
Hills. He came in before the country
was opened up by the Government and
in 1876 located what was known as the
Strater lode and later as The Blue Lead,
in the Southern Hills, not far from Key
stone. Not being able to do much work
here he went up the following spring to
Battle Greek, locating there the Rosebud
Placer, very rich piece of ground from
which he subsequently took out several
thousand dollars. In 1880 he purchased
the Strater ranch miles from Hermosa,
on Battle Greek, and has since made his
home there. This ranch, comprising
some 500 or 900 acres, is all under irri.
CATION from Battle Creek and for the
past 20 years has been one of the best
money making propositions in the
ountry.

terry law passed by the sixtieth con-
gress and which goes into effect on Jan.
uary l, 1910. The provisions of this act
J are not generally known and are ofsuch
strict nature and carry so large penalty

may be benefit to publishers and Others
who use the mails.

is known as gift enterprise or any
gambling, chance or lottery scheme is
barred and the penalty for the viola
ton carries with it a penitentiary SEN

ton are not as broad or comprehensive
as the new act, which is as follows:
No letter, package, postal card or any

terprise or similar scheme offering prizes
dependent in whole or in part upon lot
or chance; and no lottery ticket or part

ment, purporting to be or to represent
ticket, chance, share or interest in or de-
pendent upon the event of lottery gift,
enterprise, or similar scheme offering

on lot or chance; and no check, draft,
bill, money, postal note or money order
