EXHIBIT "a"

Three months ago Custer was not a
dry town, only three short months ago,
but how long it seems to the thirsty
ones who have endured the Arizona
aridity of those three months since the
town went dry True, there is near
beer for those who would try to beguile
and delude their sophisticated innards
with a beverage that stimulates the ap-
pearance of Budweiser or Anheuser
Busch but falls so far short of the orig
ina in every other desirable attribute.
So little lacking but so much found
wanting
1t was in those times before the
drought that vigilant town marshal
thought one evening that he saw some
one hand bottle to one whose years
did not yet permit of his buying one for
| himself and the impression was so vivid
that on the strength Of it he pulled the
handler Of the bottle and confiscated the
bottle from the minor, and labelled it
Exhibit a." for future use when the
Court should be sitting and the offender
| tried for unlawfuIIy supplying intoxicat-
ing, spirituous or fermented liquor to a
minor.
So last week it came about that a jury
of twelve good men and true of Custer
county, S. D., wrested with the problem
of whether or not the marshal did in
fact see that Exhibit "a" handed to the
minor in question, and if so, did the
said exhibit contain intoxicating, spirit
uous or fermented liquor, In the trial
that ensued, witnesses who were sup
posed to be especially gifted in the
knowledge of liquors, solemnly tasted it
in Court and after the well established
custom of expert witnesses, differed as
to what the liquor might be. One bar
tender of long experience pronounced it
as his opinion that it was a mixture Of
whiskey and blackberry, another that it
was brandy and blackberry, and one
gifted amateur who qualified as an ex-
PCi - dNNltli IL W Db DldCh bCII( DIduuY
but all three were unanimous in their
decision that from the taste of it, it
would be impossible to say whether or
not it was Intoxicating liquor.
When the case went to the jury, they
took with them Exhibit "a" and spent
all the afternoon in trying to solve the
question of its real nature, they spent all
that night wrestling with the problem
and sought to induce the bailifF to try
and find some more Exhibit "a" in
town that they might experiment on its
properties; morning came but no agree
ment could be reached by that jury, and
it was not until after they had had one
more meal on the County, and Exhibit
"a" being by this time finished so COM
pletely that the case could never again
be tried with it as material evidence,
that the jury finally came to an agree
ment with a verdict of Not Guilty, and
Exhibit "a" left standing empty on the
jury room table.

PUSHING HOMESTEAD SURVEYS.

On the Harney Forest there are now
four Forest Service surveyors at work
making final surveys of homestead
claims. One party is working in the
Limestone, one in the vicinity of Prin-
gle, and the other two are working out
of Custer on nearby claims. The For
est officers are pushing the survey work
as fast as possible and hope to be able to
complete the field work for the survey
of all claims, the status Of which are
such that the surveys can now be made,
before winter weather sets in.
As soon as field work must he discon-
tinued on account of cold weather the
surveyors will then begin the prepara-
ton Of their maps, so that it will be pos
sible for a very large number Of home
stead entrymen to make final prOofupon
their claims early ncSt spring.

PASSES ON QUESTIONS
Attorney General Caldwell Hands Down
a Number of Opinions on Ques-
tions Submitted.

Pierre, Oct. 15.-That the renting Of a
house in town by a farmer, who remains
upon and cultivates his farm while the
family is in town where they can secure
superior social and educational advan-
tages during the school year, is not a
residence which gives the children of
such family school privileges without
the payment OF tuition, is the holding
of the attorney general on an inquiry
from the states attorney of Clay county.
1t is held by the attorney general that

action where a conviction is secured

cution. This under the provisions of
Section 1915 Of the Political Code. This
inquiry from the states attorney of
Clay county, is in two cases in which he
cites that the actual jury cost in two
such cases was $72 in each trial, and he
desires to tax the total jury cost along
with other costs, but it is held that he
is limited to six dollars in such taxing
Of costs.
That the limit of school levies under
the 1915 act is placed at fifteen and one
half mills for school purposes, is the
holding, on inquiry from Roberts coun-
ty, save that this limit does not in any
way affect levies for payment of bonds.
That road levies are not included in
the five mill limit of levies for general
purposes by townships is the holding on
inquiry from Jackson county where
there is an evident desire to make the
road levies in addition to the general
five mill limitation, and it is held that
they have this right.
That the county is not liable for sher-
ifs fees for subpenaing witnesses for
the defense in criminal cases is the
holding on inquiry from Mcpherson
county.

SEE BLACK HILLS FIRST,

The Lead Call says, another move is
being made toward getting the various
commercial clubs of the Black Hills to
unite for better advertising the Hills. A
similar attempt has been made before,
the last time nearly two years ago, when
an organization was effected and many
towns, through their clubs and other
wise, were represented at a gathering at
Rapid City 1t was decided to raise
fund approximating 81 900, to be appor-
toned among the various towns accord
ing to their assessed valuation. There
was much enthusiasm among those pres
ent at the Rapid City meeting over the
prospects for doing some united work in
properly advertising the entire Black
tves returned to their homes the plan
failed to be approved by the powers that
be-the local commercial organizations
and others@so that only few 1nally
came through prepared to put up the
amount apportioned. This necessarily
caused the collapse of the whole plan.
1t was unfortunate that it failed, for it
has prolonged the time for unitedly set
ting forth the beauties and advantages
to be found all through the Hills.
1t is hoped the present attempt, orig
mating at Rapid City, may be carried to
success. It will cost from $50 to 5000
for each town represented to begin any
thing like an effective advertising cam
paign-but it will pay. There were
only two or three Of the leading towns
in the Hills together with few very
small places signified their prepared
ness to put up the money at the organi'
zation referred to and those same towns
will doubtless still be ready to go ahead

McMAsTER CALLED 1T
A GREAT PROPERTY

Heirs Of an estate who are interested
in the Grand Junction mine, located
about seven miles north of Custer, are
anxious to get the property in operation
and are reported to be now engaged in
a move which is expected TO accomplish
that result. They, as all others who are
familiar with the situation, regard the
Grand Junction as a highly valuable
proposition and believe that no great
amount of development will be neces-
sary to convert it into a steady producer
of gold. That from the time of its dis.
coyery, some thirty-six years ago, it was
looked upon as one of the most prOmis-
ing properties in the southern Black
Hills, is evidenced by the fact that it
received a strong endorsement from Sam
McMasters, former superintendent of the
Homestake mine, who is said to have
declared it to be the best workable body
of gold-bearing ore, outside ofthe Home
stake mine.
1t was some years ago that a shaft was
put down on the main formation ledge
and this was sunk to a depth of ll8 feet.
At that point cross-cut was run, east
and west, a distance of 100 feet and
these workings are all in ore, neither
wall having been encountered in fact
from surface indications, the ledge ap-

The ore is said to assay from $500 to
Sl4.00 in gold, portion of the values
being found in the free state. The pros.
pect of an early resumption of opera
tions at the Grand Junction is a matter
that is being freely discussed in the
southern Hills and is a source OF general
interest in mining circles ofthat district

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM

Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead. and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, fun of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness,. acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine SO it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

CALLING Cards.

Formal correspondence has suffered
a change this year. brought about per
haps by the change OF attire. One
point especially noticeable is that
women's visiting cards are somewhat
smaller than usual. due to the fact
that they must fii into smaller mesh
bags than heretofore. Girls cards are
likewise one size smaller than those

because Of society's superstition they

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 1t at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe. be
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does il
so naturally and evenly. You damper
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, ant
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thici

KEEP ANIMALS FROM DRIFTING
National Foresters Build Fences to
confine Cattle to Certain specl-
fled Districts.

Many miles of drift" fences have
been built by the government in re-
cent years for controlling the move
ment of stock, grazed under permits
on the national forest lands.
These fences do not serve to inclose
areas, but are simply intended to
prevent the animals from going in GER
tain directions, or drifting" to use
cattleman's expression. In many
cases they are used to restrict the
animals to certain areas during the
winter, as well as to prevent grazing
on lands where poisonous plants are
found
In one case five miles of drift fence
was built to prevent city water sup
ply from contamination by forest-range
cattle. In one forest, four and one
half mile fence was built to keep cat
tie on one range.-Popular Mechanics.
