ers of western Stanley county have
recently torn down one of the old
log houses on the Deadwood trail
and are converting the logs into
lumber with their mill This struc-
ture was one of the first put up on
the trail between Pierre and the
Hills, having been built in 1876 by
"Grizzly" Shoun to be used as road
house on the trail, while he had to
watch the hostile Indians as well as
care for the travellers to the Hills.
S. S. Shoun, the builder was Ten

close Of the war, and after wander
ing over the west came to the Black
Hills with the first of them, and de-
cided that a road house on the trail
was exciting enough for him, and
settled down at point on the trail
near Grindstone Butte, where he re-
sided up to the time of his death,
one of the well known characters
of the western part of the state, as
travellers on the old trail all passed

,sIANy CLAIMS FOR
RATE PREPARATION

Chicago, ILL.,. Dec. 19-lnterstate
Commerce missioner Edgar E..
Clark arrived in Chicago today to
conduct a hearing in the so-called
Burnham- Hanna-Munger case. This
is also known as the Missouri River
rate case, and after it was begun the
interstate commerce commission, in
accordance with evidence that had
been introduced, reduced freight
rates from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Missouri river. Litigation en-
sued, and the reduction in rates was
suspended until Nov. 10 last
PREPARATION claims aggregating
more than 100000 already have
been filed with the commission un-
der its decision reducing rates. A
typical case is that of the William
Warnock company of Sioux City, Ia,
against the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company. Reparation is de-
manded on all shipments of class
freights from the east to Sioux City
during the period of the commits
sion's original order. The reduc-
tons on classes being from sixty
cent scale to a fifty-one-cent seals.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has received to date nearly 500
claims in reparation. About $50 of
them apply to shipments originating
in Atlantic seaboard and eastern
trunk line territories, about 200 to
shipments originating at various
points east of the Mississippi river
and north of the Ohio, and the re-
mainder are on shipments original
ing in the General Freight Associa-
ton and southeastern territories. In
addition to the claims already on
file, other claims will be presented
and the likelihood is that eventually
the aggregate will be in the neigh
borhood of quarter of a million of
dollars. Final disposition of these
claims probably will hinge upon the
result of the Burnham-H Hanna Nun
ger case, which is to be heard here
this week by Commissioner Clark.

HER OWN PLEAOER

Denver News: A little French Ga
madam girl named Hattie LIE Blanc,
only II years of age, was charged
with murder in the first degree, at
Cambridge. Mass.
A man named Glover, apparently
very much Of a brute and her en-
pioyer, had been shot to death In
his place OF business; and the girl
was there at the time There was
ample reason why poor, ill-treated
Hattie lie Blanc should have taken
his life. Also in his last statement
to the police he said that she fired
the shot.
A widow. who had oeen a Jealous
wife of Glover and yet had known
and aided his brutalities toward the
girl, prosecuted her vengefully-
with all the agencies which money
and vindictivenees could employ.
And the case looked dark for Hattie
Lee Blanc
Yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock
she was in the prisoners lock. the
argument closed, the judges charge
delivered to the jury.
At noon yesterday she was free
as the birds and the sunlight.
What happened in the meantime?
Oh, several things-including ver-
dict of acquittal by a jury. But the
chief thing, the moving cause, the
power was in the simple little speech
that Hattie lie Blanc made Just be-
fore the jury retired.
II did not do it. l want to 20
home with my papa"
1t took the jurymen ninety min
utes to cry out their sympathy on
each others necks and write a tear
stained verdict, mot guilty.
OF course there was judge and
lawyer for the defense; and both
had done all they could for the lit
tie neutrality-suspicious. in getting
that last extraordinary word before
the jury.
But Hattie lie Blanc was her own
best pleader. When girl only II
year old, who mas suffered under the
blows and insults of virago and 4
brute, wants to go home with her pa
pa, there is nothing else in the case
with jury of American men.
