Furious Snow Storm Raging Throughout
South Dakota.

PIERRE, S. D., April 4. "A furious
snow storm, general in the state, has
been raging here all day, about six
inches having already fallen with more
in sight. 1t is drifting badly and the
temperature is falling. This, in con.
nection with the snow already on the
ground in this section of the state, Gre.
ates a serious condition for stockmen
to face as the long period for which
winter has held on here has prevented
the cattle from grazing and the hay
supply is practically exhausted.

many hifaluin novelties being intro
duced at that duel. but Williams silenc-
ed all dissensIon by the ferocity of his
rcbuklng glare.
Now. then, ready he called, and
the principals brought their weapons
to bear upon each other. "Onc!' he
continued. and paused abruptly. Tomey
aimed at his antagonists head. holding
his pistol motionless and true. Mat
thews covered the entire anatomical
eyes untlinchinGly upon the snaky little
optics. 81 :.
One minute, two minutes, three min
utes passed, but Williams, cooily5 dlsre-
gardlng the lapse OF time. refrained
from continuing the count. Instead. he
lcisurely surveyed Tomey and kept his
pistol barrel an line with the latter's
heart. Matthews, who was still COW
cred by Tomcy's second remained Sc
rene and totally Indifferent as to aim.
Tomcy was beginning to show signs Of
nervousness and tension. His pistol
arm twitched perceptibly once or twice.
and he siftcd his aim from Matthews's
head to his heart. The spectators NUT
tered impatiently at the delay. but Will
iams paid no heed. He waited five
minutes. then announced in sepulchral
tones:
"Two!"
Matthews now took careful aim.
pointing his weapon directly at Tomey's
brain. Tomcy was plainly III at case
and eager to let fly at his opponent.
Once Matthews withdrew his glance
from Tomey's eyes and allowed 1t to
rest upon the .yawning grave. Uncon-
sciousy Tomeys glance followed suit;
but the suggestions that grisly chasm
inspired In his mind must have been
unpleasant, for his pistol arm was OBJ
served TO twitch again. and his aim be-
came unsteady and nuctuatinS. Mat
thews. however. brought his eyes to
bear once more upon Tomey's. But the
latter found 1t difficult to return the
piercing gaze. Instead, he shifted his
glance from the grave to Matthews's
rlgldly held pistol.
The time dragged horribly, yet the
relentless Williams remained silent. The
mutterinGs Of the spectators gave place
to q settled hush-decp, significant, aw-
full. Tomey's face grew pallid and be-
gan to work spasmodically. Persplra-
tion broke out on his brow and ran In
tiny streams down his check. He
sulped several times like a famished
creature.
Three" roared Williams. His prin-
clpal extended his weapon half an inch
forward and ran his eye along the bar
rel. But Tomey was fairly palsied.
His eyes were staring and bloodshot;
his pistol barrel was swinging from
side to side like pendulum run mad.
He was GaspIng and painting and
frightened within an inch Of his life
The silence was maddcning. and yet
Williams seemed in no hurry to break
1t with the fatal word.
