Said He Would Surrender

Harris replied that he thought it must
be a mistake. In a few minutes he dis
covered that Mr.. Hawkins was in earnest
and laying down his tools. he said that he
would quit work and go and give himself
up to the sheriff. He then left the build
ing and went in the direction Of his home
That was the last seen of him. Detective
Sullivan, who has the case in charge, says
that Harris has left the state; but he
thinks the young man will be arrested
within a few days. 1t was reported last
night that he had gone to the Indian Ter
ritory.

plicity in the killing of D. S. Wilson, was
given a preliminary hearing before justice
Benners yesterday afternoon and released.
No evidence whatever was brought out TO
show that he dealt the blow which killed
Wilson, and verdict of acquittal was rem
dered. All of the witnesses testified that
Dixon had been drinking and at the time
of the killing was lying on the floor. He
said that he was in a good humor and had
no desire whatever to have trouble with
Wilson He further stated that he did not
know the young man who struck Wilson
with the chair and did not know that he

that Wilson came to his death by being
struck on the head by a chair in the

Barker. the widow of the dead man, and she is now on her way from Hot Springs, Ark, to take charge of the remains.
 The other claimant is Mss Ida ShGd- vile of Nslhart, Mont, who arrived in Waterloo last night She declares that Barker was to have met her in Minneapolis Sunday and they were to have been married yesterday. She identified the remains as those of her prospective bridegroom. A special from Hot Springs says that Mrs Bark CT came there with her husband from Montana several months ago. They were married a year ago at Butte. Her husbnd was man Qf considerable wealth. having extensive mining in terests at Great Falls and other points in Montana
 Mrs. Barker knows nothing as yet as to the alleged double character of her husband. The shock to Miss Shad- vile when informed of Barke1's du- plicity was almost as great as the news of his violent death.

 The brothers soon had a hole down several feet on the vein, and they were almost crazed with joy at what they

 pieces of rock seemed to be literally filled with gold. One piece as large as a dinner plate was edged With mug gets as large as lima beans. Several hundred dollars worth Of gold was taken aut in a short time.

CONTEMPLATING DOLLARS.

| Washington, June 5.-A dispatch IEr0m San Francisco this morning. stating that California, with the en- tire coast, is being flooded with dang erous counterfeit silver dollars. is at- tracing attention. Mir. Roberts. di- | rector of the mint, in spsaki1g of the general question of counterfeiting silver dollars, said: Tt is, of course. much easier to counterfeit a silver dol lar than Q silver certificate h the latter the quality of the paper is one great protection to the government, while in the case of coin. it is perfect ly easy for an outsider to make a chemical analysis and so fix up the same kind of an alloy. The chief pro lection to the government comes from the fact that it requires a large and ex- pe1sive plant to make silver dollars and such an establishment it is pretty difficult to hide. It is not like making whisky in the mountains with a brass kettle. Still, the question clf silver dollar commercials is a serious one. IL is rather doubtful if congress is act ing wisely in continuing to encourage the use of the silver coin itself. Our laws have been framed on the theory that it was much more desirable to have the coin in circulation than the certificates, and So every year large sums of money are expended in the transportation of silver free Of charge from the treasury to distant points. Unquestionably this encourages coun- terfeiting.
 There $ much difference of opinion. as to the number of counterfeit silver dollars in circulation. Some people maintain that the number is much larger than the government realizes. while otheIs-and 1 am one ot them do not think the business has reached large proportions.
 Al the secret service bureau there was disincli1ation this morning t3 say anything about the California counterfeiting more than such reports were always exaggerated.

STUMBLED UPON A GOLD MINE
The Rare Good Luck of Two Young
 Cattlemen in South Dakota.

Deadwood. s. D.. June 5.-Charlie and Lee Carr have made their for
 tunes. They are two ycung cattlemen in Custer county, in the southern Black Hills. who heretofore have lived uneventful lives, but by 2 good stroke of fortune they are no longer hunting lost cattle or stray horses n the deep ravines of their native hills. On May Il the brothers were out on their daily round looking for lost cattle. They had been over the same ground g good many times before, and had even prospected with pick and hammer the adjoining cliffs for indications of ore, but their mining attempts thus far had been of no avail They had looked very thoroughly for their lost cattle along Lightning creek, and had about given up the hunt when they came to the mouth of Narrow Neck Gulch, a small tributary C1 Lightning creek. Lee, the older of the two boys, w5s in the lead, and thinking that the cattle might have strayed up the narrow guIch to the right, turned his horse in that direction and the brother pro ceeded up Narrow Neck Gulch
 They had not proceeded far when Lee saw a small boulder lying at the base of cliff which showed ind.cations of being highly minaraIized. He stop ped his pony and, dismounting, pick ed the stone up and gave it a casual examination. Satisfying himself that it contained no gold, he threw down the stone and remounted his horse.
 What was it, Lee?" Charlie asked.
 "Only a piece Of iron-stained quartz" was the answer.
 'Iron-stained quartz is not found in this gulch without meaning some thing. Let me see the rock"
 So Charlie dism0unted and picking up the little boulder wh,ch his broth e. Lee had just thrown away, he hurl- ed it with considepble force against the rocks at the side of the ravine The rock broke in two, and with q shout of surprise both brothers picked | up the fragments. The round boulder i had been split evenly into halves, and | there on each piece were many gilt tering specks of gold. There was no | more cattle hunting that day. They naturally looked up the side Of the mountain to sse whence the little | boulder had come
 They climbed the steep side to Q point about fifty feet above the creek 1eveI and almost immediately found a ledge of free gold. Clearing away the loose dirt and broken pieces Of rock with their cattle whips, they got down to the quartz ve:n, finding several nuggets of gold prooruding through the hard rock. They traced the out croppings along the mountain ridge far enough to convince them that it was extensive, an dthen mounted their horses and returned home. The fol- lowing morning, having taken their c. F. Carr. into their secret, they returned to their find and pro- ceeded to stake out ground. Their secret was their own until eleven
