New Version of the Sensational Find In
the Black Hills.
YANKToN, S. D., Oct. 27.-Ex- Senator
Moody of IDeadwood gives a new version
of the sensational gold discovery in the
Black Hills by Otto Grantz. Senator
Moody said: II see the newspapers
say that Grantz took carload of ore to
the mint at Denver. He did not take
any such amount. Grantz had only
few sacks OF ore, but they Melted him
$4,000 Ut is the richest native rock
ever unearthed in the hills and its dis
covery was an accident, after 20 years
of unremitting search on the part of
Grantz. Less than month ago he
went to his claim one day and stumbled
upon piece of rich ore lying partially
exposed. This find led to the unearth-
ing of the vein, from which he has
taken the ore recently sold in Denver.
The udaen discovery almost turned
Grant, head"
The senator says the gold fields of the
Hills have as yet been only prospected.

sMYTH TO BRING TEST CASE
Attorney General viii Carry Insurance


Matter to Supreme Court.
LINCOLN, Oct. 2S.-Attorney General
Smyth will in few days file brief in
the supreme court in the case brought
by the state of Nebraska against the
Home Fire Insurance company of New
York, the test case brought to find out
if the insurance companies that paid ex-s
Auditor Moore some 1913 900 shall be re-
quired to pay it over again to the state.
The case was originally brought in the
Lancaster county district court, where
Judge Holmes decided that the state,
having elected to pursue the auditor on
his bond and having secured verdict
and Judgment, could not also collect
from the insurance companies. The
Judgment obtained runs only against
Moore, as the courts have held that the
embezzled money not having been re-
ceived by him by virtue Of his Office, his
bondsmen could not be held.

Oct. 27.-The bombardment of MAIZE
king by General Cronje's commander
began yesterday morning. The women
and children We're given ample time to
leave the town. Several houses are in
flames.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-The official an
nouncement of the joining OF General
White and General Yule, has come as
great relief and all the more so in view
of the fact that the later dispatches
have shown that only the incapacity of
the intelligence department. of the
Beers saved General Yule's column
from great disaster.
1t seems that on Friday night Dundee
was full Of alarms. Heavy firing was
heard at OF clock and again at 4. A
severe thunderstorm soon after stopped
the Boer callnonade.
Saturday passed in the same anxious
manner in momentary expectation OF.
All attack: The British finally evacu-
ated, taking all that they could, but
leaving plenty behind for the Beers to
loot.
1t is reported,' that General Symons
died on Wednesday and not on Thurs
i day.
General Yuie's column had very ex-
hausting march, chiefly, it is thought,
! by night. Twas probably a fear of
1 Boer surprises that led to the march.
Rains and mist hampered the march,
! but were perhaps the means of saving
! General Yule from molestation. 1t
took the column "a hours to cover the
! last 16 miles.
The only news this morning consists
of more detailed accounts of the battle
already reported. A correspondent
who visited the, Hospital at Ladysmith,
where the Boer woupded at. Glands
laagte We're been tel:uod, reports that
General Jan Koe!i, who was badly
wounded in the thigh and shoulder,
said that the advance of the patrol
under General Pienar, without guns,
was simply with the object of cutting
the railway and that this body was
subsequently reinforced without Cen
eral Joubert's orders, General Viljoen
accompanying them. The latter was
killed early in the fight According to
another correspondent the Beers say
that General Kock read his bible and
prayed for victory. His nephews and
/, two sons. We're all wounded and taken
j prisoners. Colonel Schiel of the Ger
man corps and Commandment Pretorius
were both severely wounded. Many
prominent Beers are not yet accounted
for.
Colonel Schiel assured correspond
ent that nothing could stand against the
accuracy of the British field guns, which
repeatedly drove the Boer gunners from
their embrasures. The British infantry
fire was also complete surprise to the
Beers, who were confident of their abil-
ity to master any infantry attack.
One Elandslaagte correspondent ex.
presses the belief that the British killed
fewer Beers than might have been ex
pected considering the heavy fire of the
British artillery. The bullet of the
Boer Mauser, itappears, makes a clean
healthy wound where it passes out. Nc
operations for extraction have been nee
eSsary at the LadySmith hospital.

MCCOY WHIPS Stiff.

STEVE FLANAGAN DEFEATS LEON

Awarded the Decision in the Twenty-fifth
Round--Seven Thousand st. Louis Sp orts
Turn Out to Watch the Bouts in New
Colfseum--ODonnell Easy for Choynski.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 28.-The initial box
ing entertainment of the West End
Athletic club was held last night at it's
new quarters in the mammoth Coli
sieum. The bright particular star of
the night was Kid Mccoy, who appeared
with Billy Stiff of Chicago as an oppo-
nent. It was figured that McCoy's
form in his match last night, would
largely formulate public opinion in ref
erenCe to his chances with Peter Maher
and as a consequence 1000 sport lovers
were in attendance. Mccoy had the
advantage Of Stiff in height and reach,
but in weight the latter was favored by
several pounds. For the first half dozen
of the rounds Stiff appeared to be in
great awe Of his famous opponent and
remained on the defensive. AS a mat
ter Of fact Mccoy was able to draw him
out only a few times during the 10
rounds of fighting. Stiff showed that
he was a fighter and several times
had the Kid in ticklish posi-
ton. In the eighth Mccoy took
the benefit of the count, owing
to a collision and fall with the Chicago
man, and again in the 18th, when the
Chicago boy put him down with ter
rife right-hand punch in the back of
the neck. The Kid recuperated quick
" in each instance and continued to
force the fighting. His foot work was
beautiful and he sidestepped blow after
blow. In the 18th round Mccoy played
his left lightly for Stift's nose, and as
the latter raised his guard high the Kid
wrapped his right over like a flash to
the point of the jaw. Stiff fell fat on
his back and lay motionless. After he
was counted out Mccoy helped carr. :
the fallen man to his corner. Stiff did
notrecover his faculties for some time
Before the middleweights appeared,
Casper Leon of New York and Steve
Flanagan Of Philadelphia came on for
25 rounds, to settle their dispute as to
who was entitled to the title to cham.
pion bantamweight Of America. The
boys put up very clever article Of fight.
Flanagan was constantly the aggressor
and in the last half dozen rounds had
his opponent in bad shape. Several
times Leon was on the verge Of collapse,
but his ring generalsl ip saved hum. At
the end of the 25th round the referee
awarded the decision to Flanagan.
