A Horrible Death.

The UNION takes the following ac
count of the death of Dennis Court
ney from the Sturgis Record:
Last Tuesday night Dennis Court
ney, well known to about everybody
in Sturgis and Meade county. wa.
killed in a manner as horrible as
could be imagined.
Denny and his wife had been ur
town that day. They had sold some
horses while before and had gotter
check of Chales Francis for S4S(
for them. Mrs. Courtney carried
the check for several days, but final
ly cashed it at the Meade county
oank. Denny found she had the
money and by force took about So
away from her, tearing her clothe:
in the struggle. On Tues lay, tn,
day of his death, he was at various
places, but finally wound up across
the creek, where his wife found him
and compelled him to return tC town
Ga thci" way over they INDUCED ir
"a little pleasant riot, throwing stones
at each other, but finally peace
reiSncd and they got in the wagon
to 90 home.
Upon reaching Fort Meade, Denny
insisted on Mrs. Courtney getting
out, stating that he was coming tc
town again. At this time the team
started to run, and ran down toward
Alka!i. At the Harvey ranch one
of the singletrees must have broken
and Courtney was thrown on tn,
wire fence, his body evidently being
caught in the wagon ia some man
ner. At any rate, he was dragged
along the wire fence, and his face
actually sawed from his head. II
was found about 10 feet from the
rest Of the body, which was also
mutllated shocklngly. Fred Harvey
who was among the first at the place
says he never witnessed such {
sight. The team must have swerv
cd into the fence and Courtney fell
out. The wire caught him undo,
the chin, and sawed through 10 the
top of the head, even cutting th,
ears in two. The face, or front part
OF the head, fell, while the bod,
must have been dragged by the
wagon distance, and then fell te
the ground. Death was probably
instantaneous. He mad only about
s4.9O on his person when investiga
tiOn was made.

A Stupendous Undertaking.

The most gigantic mining venture
ever conceived in the Black Hills
has been commenced by the Ameri.
can Mining company, which is back
ed by millions. The principal back
ers are the Fitzpatrick Brothers g.
Collins, of Newcastle, Wyo., who
are considered the greatest railway
contractors IN the northwest. Thew
llso own the great coal mines in the
western part of Wyoming This
company has commenced running Il
tunnel at the base of Ragged Top,
on the quartzite level, which is 20 be
nearly mile in length when com
pleted.
For several years Ragged Top
mining district has produced very
rich silicions gold ore, the general
average OF the value being 500 per
ton. Mining experts believe that
the lower quartzite level is covered
with u blanket of ore from twenty
Q fifty feet thick, richer than any
ore in the adjoining mining districts.
The long tunnel will have two com
partments and it will be the long
est tunnel in the Black Hills. 1t
will penetrate great many dykes
and ore shoots, and by the time it is
finished it will have blocked out SUI

of the largest ore reduction works
in the Hills. The American com
pany will spend s3,OOO.OOO during
the next year and in return it will
have the largest and most produc

| shall not enter into an examination
of the causes which have combined to

According to my view of the subject,
the conspiracy which seems to have
been formed here and in Europe to de-
stroy by legislation and otherwise from

Enormous Live Stock Shipments.

The valuation of the live stock
shipments from Belle Fourche this
season will amount to about So, 0G0,
600. This includes the receipts
from both cattle and horses. The
shipments OF cattle for the year
have been little short of last year,
bat the horse shipments have teen
considerably higher. which will
bring the total for live stock about
as high as it was last year. The
price for cattle has been higher
throughout the season than last
year. Belle Fourche claims the
highest returns from stock ship
.ments OF any city in the United
States.
