NORTH CHAMBERLAIN PART OF THE CITY lAnotlier Turn In IOMB : IJrmvn Ont Litigation Over Valuable. Limit Cnnc Will lie CHAMUHIIMIN , S. D. , Fcb , 0. ( Special. ) SudRo Smith lias rendered a decision In the caao of Ullfci Iloynolds against the City ot Chamberlain , brought to determine whether Uio latter can continue to cxorilso Jurisdiction over what Is known as North Chamberlain. fTlie present cane adds another chapter to the struggle which has been carried on for years for possession of North Chamberlain. Some Important points are Involved In the Jurisdic tion question. Originally the land now known as North Chamberlain was a part of the Crow Creek reservation. February 27 , 1S85 , President Arthur declared It open for settle ment. April 17 ot the simo year President Cleveland revolted the order of tila predecessor nml withdrew the lotid from market. March 7 , 1885 , a week or such a matter after tlio Issuance of Arthur's proclamation opening the land , the territorial legislature passed an act extending the limits of Chamberlain to dncludo the tract now In dispute. It Is upon the validity ot tills act that the question of jurisdiction depends. Mrs , Reynolds and an other homestuaikc , Henry J. King , woa the land as the result of n contest between them- Helvcn and a number ot townslto claimant * and < no\v tiavd homestead entries on the land. It was contended that the act of the legis lature ot 18SD was Illegal , Prom the fact that between February 27 and April 17 , 18S5 , no cwtrles of nny portion ot the Incid were per mitted to bo made and the tract was there fore constructively never anything else than n part of an Indian raservatKi until some years later , when it was permanently opened for settlement. Judge Smith holds that the net of March 7 , 18S5 , was legal. The town slto clalmaiUa lave never given up the fight for legal poeseF.slon ot the land and are still living ttiorc. They seek to have the cajtcs of the two homesteaders reopened , probably at the tlmo they innlto dual proof before the United States la > nd officers liore , and claim Judge Smith's decision Is a victory for them , l > aslng tlielr belief on the federal statute which prohibits the taking of a homestead within the limits of an Incorporated city or town.Vhon the news of Judge Smith's decision wns received the towosltors tiired a iMtid and celebrated the event In a suitable manner. One of the buildings In North Chamberlain Is known as Fort Tarns. Upon this the townslters raised the stars and stripes In honor of the occasion. At this writing the questlcn of an appeal . from Judge Smith's decision to the state supreme court has not been determined. However , the question cannot be con&lderoJ definitely and permanently settled until the supreme court passes upon It. i.iUjni-niovES KIPP. Culmination or Hie Olllelnl ri ' South Diiliotn.

A great and growing Interest Is being manifested by Seattle people In the Swauk placer mining district in Klttllas county , In spite of the fact that all eyes are supposed to bo directed toward the Klondike , says the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Every few days some lucky prospector from the Swauk drifts Into Seattle with his pockets full of ntlggats , some of which are larger than the largest that have yet been taken out of the Klon- dlko gravel banks. The heaviest nugget yet taken out of this country was found three years ago on Deer creek. It was worth $750. The largest nugget found this year Is valued at $303. For twcnty-flvo years the Swauk placers have been worked In a primitive fashion and for five jcars past the yearly output has not been less than $35,000. The output for 1SOS will bo much larger , owing to the fact that many of the boat claims In the district have gene Into the hands of capitalists , who will put In Improved mining machinery and op erate on a larger scale. More people are going Into the district and claims will be worked on a number of new creeks. The companies operating on quartz ledges are making arrangements to enlarge their ca pacity by putting In additional stamps and several now stamp mills will probably bo built. Attention lias been called to the district lately by a collection of nuggets taken from Moulder and Williams creeks last year. There are thirteen nuggets In the collection worth nearly $1,200. A party whllo at work early this year on the Hlgney claim dug out a big nugget which weighed $130. The Ford claims are said to bo among the richest in the district. The placer mines of the district extend seven or eight miles along Swauk , Doulder and Williams creeks. All of this ground haa proven to be very rich , although there are only three or four claims that have boon ex tensively developed. ( Above the placer ground for a number of miles rich free- milling quartz lodges have nearly all been located , some of them many years ago. One company owns n group of fine claims In this quartz district which it has recently bonded for $10,000. The money secured in this way will bo used in erecting a stamp mill. Six teen miles from this property Is a email stamp mill which has been operating for a number of years with great success. In commenting on the fact that a greater interest Is not taken by the people of Wash ington in the state's richest placer district , L. II. Jensen , who Is largely Interested In the district , .recently snld : "Tho only trouble with the Swauk country Is that It Is not far enough away and too easy to reach. People will not believe that rich mines can bo found so near home. Tell a man lie can rldo six hours In a Pullman car from Seattle , then drive two and a half hours on a good road from the station to the mines and ho will take no Interest In the proposition. He wants to carry provisions , travel well armed , climb passes , bo a mem ber of a vigilance committee , shoot rabbits and endure hardship to get his gold. Never theless , everyone Interested in the Swauk district is very much pleaoed with the out look for this season and great strides In development will bo made. " California \Vlni- Dealt ) . LOS ANGELES , Cal. , Feb. 8. ( Special. ) The California Wlno association has pur chased 240,000 gallons of wine belonging to the estate of E. Qarnlcr. The price paid for 1893 and 1S9G wine was only 8 cento a gal lon , while the choicest dry wines and 10,000 gallons of port were sacrificed for 9 cents a gallon. As all this wlno Is In city cellars , the price realized for the bulk of It repre sents not more than C cents for similar old wines In the country cellars , a price which will not pay 'for growing grapes and making wine , not counting cooperage and handling of wine. The California Wine association , which has made this purchase. Is a union of dealers whose object Is to get wine as cheaply as possible. It has nullified the efforts of the producer to maintain prices which will yield a profit to the wine grower and the result la that , with 20,000,000 gallons of new wlno this year , California vineyards are barely able to sell at a prlco which will pay the expense of production.

FINE NOB HILL MANSIONS Splendid Structures Built by California Millionaires for Homes. IT IS NOT A FASHIONABLE QUARTER The View from tin- Flue IlcMlilrnco Street In Not Inviting Sonic of the Croat Iti'MtU-iiee * Unlit 1 r lllcli Men. ISAM "FRANCISCO , Cal. , Feb. 9. ( Spe- IU. ) Neb Hill , in this t'ity. ' does not tcday rank ns highly ns a fashlonalblo residence quarter as It did twcnty-flvo years ago upon the outlay of several million dollars by a tow men who had acquired enormous wealth somewhat suddenly and who desired honors of a character commensurate with that wealth. These buildings all front on California street. The first one reached In going from tbo bualnes portion of the city Is ttiat erected early In the 70's by Leland Stanford.of the Central Pacific , at a coat ot half a million. A large sum of money was expended In the construction ot a heavy stone wall on ouo sldo and the rear ot the lot to prevent the earth from caving. The property Is owned by Mrs. Stanford , but is seldom occupied by her. A few months ago she opened wide the beautiful .ind richly furnished rooms of the mansion for > Cio entertainment of the newa- boys of San Francisco. Adjoiningthla property , and occupying the remainder of the block , Is the million- dollar building erected for a honlo by Mark Hopk'lns ' , who dlel before It was completed. It was begun in 1870. It became the prop erty of his widow , who seldom occupied It , and allout two years ago the property -was presented to the 'Hoard ' of Hcgents of the Gtato university by Mr. 'Scarlcs ' , 'Mrs. ' Hop- kin's epcond husband , the former Mrs. - Hopkins kins having died several years ugo. The building lias been converted Into an art gal lery and is labeled The Mark Hopkins Instl- tuto of Art. I1HOWN STONE MANSION. Diagonally across California otrcet from this property Is a large house made of the same material ns that used In the construc tion ot Fifth avenue , Now York , homes- brown stone brought by water nil the way from Connecticut. The foundation of this house Is of white marble , or material re sembling it. Two huge lions in white guard the broad entrance , with an iron fcnco fif teen feet high to give further security to the owner , James Flood , nn ex-saloon keeper , and his family , but within less than a year from the tlmo this splendid structure was completed Flood died. It 'Was ' to one of his daughters that the newspapers proposed to marry General Grant's son , Jesse , a dozen years ago. The widow and daughter are still living in this house , which cost half a million dollars. In this same block stands the striking building of Italian architecture , erected in 1S70 by Colton , who died a few years later , leaving with his widow bushels ot letters he had received during a considerable period of tlmo from the Ingenious Collls P. HuntIngton - Ington , detailing with startling frankness the difficulties ho was experiencing as a lobbyist at Washington In the early history of the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific railways. These letters the enterprising widow made effective use of In a suit she brought against Huntlngton and his asso ciates of the railway companies to recover a largo sum of money she claimed was duo her late husband for services rendered. It Is an Interesting fact that Huutington Is now the owner of this property. He bought it about two years ago , paying ? 250,000 there for about half Its original cost. He seldom occupies it and only for a few weeks at a time. THE CROCKER HOME , Next Is the house built by Cbarles Crocker at a cost of $300,000. which property Is marred In appearance by a high fence In the rear of the building. Crocker acquired the ownership of half a block , excepting ono lot , 40x100 feet , occupied by a small cottage owned' ' by a man named Young , who fixed a price on his holding , but when ho found who the Intending purchaser i\us raised his price , and when this was met raised It again , repeating the performance until ho reached a dizzy height. Then Crocker lost his temper , declined to pur chase at any .figure and ordered the erec tion of a tight board fence about thirty-five feet high on both sides and In the rear ot the cottage , which fence remains to this day , though both Crocker and Young have gene to a country where wealth or the lack of It cuts no Ico. The latter died In his cot tage , from which the sun was excluded the greater part of the day by Crocker's fence , and In this country the absence of sunshine Is a very serious matter. Indeed , so nu- desirable is this property that It is now uninhabited , the cottage having been moved off several years ago. Crocker died about ten years ago and his widow has died slurp. The property remains a part of the Crocker estate. James G. Fair bought a lot on Neb Hill , opposlto Flood's property , with the purpose of building , but the- bringing of a suit for divorce by his wlfo changed his plans and the proposed mansion was never built. COULD NOT 'HE ' SOLD NOW. John W , 'Mackay of the bonanza quartet , consisting of himself. Flood , O''Brlen ' and Fair , owns a good deal of real estate In this city , but has never Indulged In mansion building here. "What would these Neb Hill properties sell for today ? " was asked of a _ leading real estate firm. "It would bo hard to sell them at any reasonable price , " ho replied , "because few people could afford to live In them. The Statiford property might bring $100,000 ; Huntlngton peld all the Colton property was worth when ho bought It , and the Crocker property Is worth $250,000. " Neb Hill ls a wind-swept elevation , from which an extended view may bo had , but It is a view which takes In factories , rail road shops and miles of rookeries and shanties. Not n tree Is to bo seen on the street or grounds fronting these costly homos , but en Mason street , a narrow street forming ono boundary of the Hopkins prop erty , Is a row of eucalyptus trees , which , for ornamental purposes , would bo matched In St. Louis by a row ot cottonwoods. Of the men above named Stanford , Crocker , Hopkins , Flood , O'Brien and Fall- are dead , only Huntlngton and -Mackay re maining of the two quartets of Callfornlans to whom rallrcad building and Nevada sil ver mines brought Immense wealth and con sequent power within a period , of tlmo nmr- velously brief.

A special cablegram to the Evening Pool from San Jose do Guatemala thta morning announces the assassination ot President Barrios. It Is added tbat calm now prevails. The news ot the assassination of President Jose Maria Rolna Barrios ot Guatemala cre ated considerable ! excitement In thU clt > ' . today , as both the murdered president and his wife were well known here and also because a number ct San Francisco mer chants have extensive Interests In that re- public. To the little colony of refugees who fled from Guatemala some months ago and lo cated In thh city to escape the wrath o'i the dictator the announcement was not so surprising , as the Insurgents threatenc'l some time ago to kill Barries before the expiration of his term on March 15. At the time of his election to the pres idency Harrlos was residing temporarily In this city and during their year's residence he and tils wife , an American woman , whom ho married in New Orleans , made many staunch friends. Mrs , Barrios was In San Francisco also when her husband proclaimed himself dictator tater , In Juno last , ostensibly en route to Europe , but she did not cross the Atlantic , and soon after the -news of this proclama tion had been received here she returned to Guatemala. Private dlsiMtches were received hero tc day from I'rcaper Morncls , formerly leader of the insurgents In Guatemala , to the ef fect that ho was en route to thU city. He had been informed ot the death of Barrios , but disclaimed all knowledge of the asaaa- ' . sinalion. , WASHINGTON , Feb. 0. Scnor Lojo Ar- ilga , the Venezuelan minister to the United States , this morning received an official cablegram from the minister of foreign af fairs of Guatemala , ' announcing the assas sination of President Barrios and the succes sion to the presidency of Vice President Manuel Estra Cabrera. No details what ever were given. ' The dispatch came from Guatemala. City , the capita ] , whcro Barrios has lived and the government departments arc cai-rled on. It added that entire calm prevailed. This last assuiance , coupled with the Immediate suc cession of the first \flce president In accord ance with the methods of Ido country , Is a special source of gratification to the Guate malan officials hero"1hnd to aome extent al leviates the shock with which they received the news of the tragedy. The relations be tween the late president and the Guatemalan ' minister at WashlngtcrlP'Scnor Laze Arraga , were much mere than of an official character. They were close persbnal 0-lends and tCie death of the president at the hands of an assassin comes as a personal bereavement to the minister. Scnor Arraga ( said Senor Bar rios was a man of wide attainments and marked executive ability. Ho was 12 yearn of age. The six years' term of service for which he was elected terminates March 15 next , but the national congrcEsIonsl assembly had already extended this term for a further four years. The new president , Mr. Cabrera , Is a man of prominence In Guatemala and 1 one ot two chosen by congress to flll the presidency In case of n vacancy. The system of the coun try la different from that in tCia United States , there being no vice president elected witn the rc'esldent. The duty of filling the ex ecutive ctalr devolves on the congressional branch and accordingly two vice president , first and second , were designated some tlmo ago.

Tucoday night George Russell , a young man about IS years of ago and whoso homo Is at Fifteenth ntid It streets , was caught In the act ot attempting to rob the olHco ot the J. B. Watklns Lumber company In tbo upper railroad yards. Ho was detected by J. W. Baxter , the night watttiman , who compelled Mm to surrender. Ituucll had In his posses sion a brace and bit , dynamite , fuse mid ri mask , besides other tools necessary to the opening of ft safe. Whllo being marched to the city Jail ItUMoll tried hard to throw away his tools and mnsk , but thla was prevented by the watchman. The burglary Tuesday night made tlio fifth tlmo Inside of six months that the Wotklns office lias been broken Into and every tlme > the thlovM nlLber attempted to or did break Into the safe. The last attempt was made a couple of weeks ago , and then It was de cided to lay a trap for the next burglar. An electric contrivance was placed In the office , which rang a. bell In the homo of the watchman near by when any one en tered the place after closing time. When the bell rang Watchman Baxter grabbed up his shotgun and hurried to the offico. Ho easily located Ilussoll , who Was hiding In a corner , and compelled him at the point of the gun. to put up hU hands. The only article which has been missed 1 | all the recent robberies was an overcoat belonging to Mr. Watklns which Uussell had with him when nrrcatcd. Yesterday the young burglar appeared to bo very sorry for what ho had done and cried when being questioned. Ho denied taking the overcoat , Baying that while passIng - Ing Gcrmanla hall a few nights ago It was thrown out of a window and ho picked It up. When asked If he was alone Kus.iell atatcd that ho had a partner who compelled him to enter the place , promising to coinp kt later nnd do tlio work on the safe. Kusrtell Insists that ho docs not know the name of lila part- .ner , who escaped , but describes him as n big man with red whiskers. Ho claims that ho was to get $10 for the nlght'o work nnd ns he needed cshocs and clothing ho accepted. It Is further said by the prMcaer that hlu partner procured the dynamite and fuse In Omaha , but ho admits stealing the drill from Sawyer'o blacksmith shop. Entrance was effected by removing n iiane of glass from a rear window nnd then releasing the catch. After considerable quwtlonli-jg Husscll finally admitted that this was the second time ho had broken Into the Wutitlna office , but ho stoutly denies ever having carried oft anything. During the forenoon Mrs. Ilussoll called at police headquarters and talked with Judge Chrlstmann. She denied all knowledge ot her son's actions and stated that whllo In clined to ho headstrong ho wns a goo'l boy. A search of the Hussell homo was made by the police , but no stolen property was found. The police are Inclined to think that Husscll nnd his partner had a hand In robbing the Nebraska liquor house Monday night and it was in hopes of finding nonic of the goods stolen from this place that the search was made. The police are after missel's partner and expect to locate him before long. HIM 'HookH Are Open. In connection with the police court fines , mention of which wns made In yesterday's Bee , Judge Chrlstmann states that ho is ready at any time to have the finance com mittee ot tlio Board of Education or nny other committee for that matter , Investigate his books , lie says that nine out of ten persons arrested hero and brought before him nre vagrants who are not possessed' ' of a penny and have no means of obtaining money other than by working and this they will not do. It would be useless , the Judge says , to Impose a money fine In vagrancy caaes where- the prisoner haa no funds , be cause It would entail an unoc-ces.3ary tax upon the city for feeding nnd lodging such persons while they served out their time In the county jail. It frequently occurs thnt when Judge Chrlstmann has Impcned a fine the major la Induced to Iseuo a pardon , thus cancelling the sentence of the court. Thla haa been dcno by the ma > or In quite a number cf cases. Judge Chrlstmann states that his records are open for inspection at any time and that In handling the business of the police court ho docs what he conreldera host for the interests of the city. While he ad mits that the amount paid Into the nchool fund from fines does not amount to much , In comparison with the- number of nrresM , he asserts that he uacs hU judgment ! n dis pensing Justice nnd alwajd does what he thinks tost. While it is true that the majority of per sons arrested are confined for minor charges. such as vagrancy and drunker.ncai , the records show 'that ' money is seldom fotnd on the persons of such prUoncnj. The matter of compelling prlconcis to work en the streets or elsewhere had always met with opposition from certain members of the council , who inseed ! ! that by doing this 'tho city would bo robbing honeat , hard working men. of a means to earn caough to inipport their families. It WM suggested not a great while ugo that the city erect , a stockade In the rear of the city Jail and fill It with stone to be broken. This broken stone , it was asserted , could be used to advantage in repairing streets nnd alleja and n'so ' for paving some of the streets In the outaklrta. When thio was mentioned to the city fathers It was turned down for fear tha't ' come labor ing man who had n family might be- com pelled to look for work elsewhere , Instead of depending upon the street commissioner's department. The expense of keeping the several hun dred vagrants who are annually nrrestcd Is considerable nnd these who favor a rock pile assert that If 'thcae ' men were compelled to work for n day or two breaking stone they would In a mea/iiiro reduce the cost of their keeping. A number of city officials are will- tag to admit that something of the oort would bo a good 'thing ' , but no one seems to want to take the Initiative In bringing the matter properly before the city lawmakers. CHICK of DeHtltillloii. Among the caces of destitution called to the attention of the mayor yesterday were two considered deserving nnd caslstanco waa given.

It has long been thought not only by name physicians but by people In general , that the common , painful and exceedingly annoying trouble , piles , was practically incurable by any other meaim than a surgical operation nnd this belief has been the cause ot years of needless Buffering , because of the natural dread ot surgical operations. There are many salves , ointments and sim ilar remedies on the market which afford BOino relief In cases of piles , but the Pyiamld Pile Cure Is the only preparation BO far In troduced that can bo reliably depended upon to cure to stay cured , every form of Itching , bleeding or protruding piles.
