told him to stop kicking the door,
but Kinney did not heed him.
Clayton, who probably did not
know who the intruder was,
warned him against any further dis
turbance, declaring his intentions to
shoot if it was continued. Kinney paid
no attention to the warning, and the re.
suit was, Clayton shot, presumably
through the door the shot taking effect

The Wind Cave Contest.

John LaFabre, receiver of the United
States land Office at Rapid City, who
visited Deadwood Tuesday, said hat
the Wind Cave property is still in a
state of uncertainty. Mr.. Mcdonald,
who located it before it was surveyed,
and held 1t by the squatter's right, made
final proof in June, 1895. upon an entry
claiming the ground as agricultural land.
A few months later a protest was filed
by the South Dakota Mining company
on the grounds that mineral existed on
the property. The local land Office in.
vestigated the case, deciding in favor of
Mcdonald, as no mineral-bearing rock
was to be found in place, although colors
of placer gold as well as other mineral
traces were found. The case was then
refer ed by the South Dakota Mining
company to the commissioner Of the
general land Office, who, after taking
exhaustive testimony on both sides,
held that the land was neither agricult.
ural or mineral, and held McDonald's
application for a patent for cancellation,
without passing upon the original entry
of Mr.. Mcdonald, however. Both par
ties have now appealed the case to the
secretary of the interior at Washington,
and a decision is being awaited. Both
parties in the controversy are after the
cave, without any particular reference
to the ground, which is valueless for

Another Rustler Arrested.

The curtain fell on the third act of the
Meade county cattle rustling tragedy
yesterday. The first act resulted in the
killing of Roy Sewall by Fred Willard,
at %Sturgis, August Goth. The second act
was the arrest last week of Sheppard,
Heath and Hall by Sheriff Brown and
Inspectors Lefors and Long. Yesterday
Inspector Long landed Jack McAdam.
known as Eat En- Jack,"i in the Meade
county Jail. Jack was arrested near
Wind Cave, in the southwest corner OF
the county. Inspector Long claims TO
have positive proof that Jack and as.
{ ociates have killed and sold thirty OF
forty head of calves within the past
year. He has been working up the case
for several months and became con-
vinced some time ago that an organized
gang of cattle thieves had been operat-
ing for years. They were emboldened
by success and apparent immunity from
detection and arrest. Last spring the
raids on the herds Of Holcomb and
others in the lower end Of the county
bid fair to deplete the ranges. The
arrest and subsequent killing of Roy
Scwell put a temporary check on their
depredations, but the sleuth hounds OF
the law were on their trail. Positive
evidence of their guilt was established
before an arrest was made. The blow
has fallen and other arrests will follow
in rapid succession until the gang is
broken up and most of its members
landed in the neutrality-suspicious..
