STRIKE AT DEADWnOn

Deadwood, S. D.. March 12.-This
city for the last "a hours has been in a
furore of excitement over two phenom-
enally rich discoveries in the mines ad-
jacent to the town. Workmen on the
Seabury Calkins mines yesterday
broke into a large body of ore, which
carries an average value of $3.50 a ton
In gold and three of silevr, and
workmen In Spruce gulch have en-
countered a vein of ore which will run
from $3.50 a ton to $500. Much excite
ment exists and a stampede is threat
ened to the districts where the discov-
cries were made.

When Agassiz was at Heidelberg, an
insult to the Swiss clan of which he
was the president was considered so
serious among the students that a
challenge was sent by Agassiz to the
German club. The German students
chose n of their best swordsmen to
meet him. AgassiZ, however, would
not accept such conditions, but said,
proudly: 1T is not with one of you
that want to fight. but with all. one
after another" They marched to the
chosen ground, and in a few minutes
four German students had received
sword cuts on their faces; then the
others offered honorable peace and
made an apology.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.
How Bert Nottage Was Shot
on Horse Creek.
BY A MEXICAN HERDER.
JUso N. Martin Purchases a 22-CaIi-
bre Rifle aud By Accident Not
Iaxc serves rs an lnwiII-
lug Target.

The Republican has learned the
truth about the shooting on Horse
creek last Sunday morning. in spite of
the efforts of the principals to keep the
facts from the public.
LAST Saturday Jose NJ. Martin. a
s~heepherder in the employ of Mrs.
Henry Delaby on Horse creek. was in
the city and purchased a 22-calibre
rifle. and afterward returned to the
ranch in company with Bowman Sny-
der and Bert Nottage. Mr.. Snyder 60
ing out for the purpose of getting a
load of wood. Sunday morning o N
siderable target practice was INDUCED
in by the three with the new weapon.
and finally Martin went into the house.
leaving Snyder and Nottage standing
out by the gate. their backs toward the
building. Presently he came out again.
and just as he emerged from the door
by some means which he cannot ac-
count for the gun was discharged. The
bullet whistled past Young Snyder and
imbedded itself in Nottage's back,
where it still remains. The victim was
at once driven to the city and DR.. Ham
ilton probed unsuccessfully for the
missile, which is thought to lie under
the heavy muscle of the right shoulder.
Unless it should give further trouble it
will likely be. permitted TO remain
where it is.
Jose NJ. Martin is a Mexican. He has
been in this vicinity for several years,
and has been employed by Mr.. Eykyn
and Mr.. King. He has borne a good
reputation and it is believed hat his
story that the'shooting was entirely an
accident is true in every respect. Upon
found vent in tears, and the strong
man cried like a child. He insisted
upon bearing any expense hat might
be incurred in surgical treatment and
gave a check to cover the first outlay.
Now, the only mystery hat remains
is why the men should seek to cover up
any of the particulars of the affair at
all. Being purely an accident. no
blame could possibly attach 10 anyone.
and hiding the facts would only cause
people to believe that there was some
thing wrong about it-that some one
had committed a crime against the
laws of the state. In affairs of this
nature it is always the best policy to at
once tell the whole truth.

of the killing in the bed chamber to his

broke open the kitchen door at the rear
of the house, which Mrs. Somers in her
flight had closed, and passed on out
into the open air and light of day. He
chose no soft spot for his own falling,
but about 20 feet out into the unfenced
back yard evidently paused. For a
moment only, however, for quickly as
Mrs: Somers had run from the death
scene, she had not more than reached
the front door of her mothers house,
as said, than Ward fired his third and
last shot.
HIS REST A STONE.
He took no chances with himself, as
he had taken lone with his unhappy
wife but as he paused in his flight he
raised his revolver to his head, pointed
the muzzle squarely to the center of
his forehead and pulled the trigger.
He fell extended, as his wife had fallen,
but his last couch in life was lot so
soft even as hers had been on the
carpeted floor within. When found his
body lay across a fence rail and his
head rested fittingly on a stone. The
revolver with which he had blotted out
two lives lay under his right leg at the
knee, just as it had fallen from the
nerveless hand that had held it.
