FOUR BADLY WOUNDED.
Mysterious AFFAIR fin tho Black Hills
..CitIzens Puzzled.

H.-E-M rMIH.La
Hot Springs, S. D.. June "a pecu-
liar case has just come to light In this
city. 1t seems that on Sunday, May "a,
two Edgemont doctors were called to
Pringle, a small station near that place.
They found four people in a serious con-
dition there. They were Tom Harper
and wife, and n boy and girl named Mel
son. 1t is reported that the doctors
found Harper with his skull crushed in.
The doctors trephined and raised the
skull from the brain, when a full cup OF
blood flowed out.
Mrs. Harper has several ribs broken.
The boys foot shows that a cut had
been made some time ago and proud
flesh had gathered around the wound.
The girls hand was seriously injured.
The doctors treated the patients and
returned to Edgemont, 1t Is said. under
guard. The injured are said to have
been in the state in which they We're
found for six days.
Various reports are abroad regarding
the affair. Some claim that there ha6
been a fight with several killed and that
a Ylgilante committee had visited the
place. 1t Is also stated, and this version
seems the most sensible, that Harper
and his wife We're thrown from a buggy
and injured in this way. The boy was
probably hurt while splitting wood. The
affair will most likely be investigated.
