TWICE "A WEEK. sl.5O A YEAR

| TO Cl6 reserve engine, kuOWu dS NO.
3, the one that was giving trouble
being called No. 4. Mr.. Wilson
thereupon started up the No. 3 en-
CINE and going to the switchboard
changed the load before stopping
No. 4, the engine that was giving
trouble. 1t is supposed that as soon
as the engine was released of it's load
the governor, which had just shown
| itself to be out of order, failed to cut
down the steam accordingly and the
engine "ran away" as the saying is.
This enormously increased the CEN
trifugal force always present in re-
volving wheels and the wheel few to
pieces.
However, it did not do 30 until
Mr.. Wilson had time to walk from
the switchboard back to the throttle
valve, which is just behind the swiftly
whirling wheel. He told his brother
that he remembered putting his hand
on the valve to turn off the steam,
but remembered nothing further. It
is believed that Mr.. Pike, who was
the gas man and had no duties in
the engine room, was attracted thither
by the unusual noise of the engine
running too fast and came to see
what was the matter. The colored
fireman, whose work was in the boiler
room adjoining, probably came to aid
the engineer in shutting off the steam
as it was necessary to close a valve
under the floor also and this the ne
gro usually attended to. Anyhow,
all three of the men were standing
close to each other when the acci-
dent occurred and were injured in
very much the same manner.
NATURE OF THE INJURIES.
Mr.. Wilson and the negro both
had their legs cut off sIooth by the
flying section Of the wheel rim. Mr..
Wilson's severed limb was carried
into the boiler room, and Samples
leg was thrown through the boiler
room and out of a window into the
roadway outside the building and the
shoe torn from it, When found it
was Is feet from where the man
stood at the time he was struck. He
was the worst mangled Of the three
and died first. MI. Wilson as stated,
lived for several hours and retained
possession of his faculties and was
able to narrate to his brother the
circumstances of the tragedy. Be-
sides the loss of his leg he had his
hip crushed in aud complained be-
fore he died of soreness or pain in
his abdomen. Mr.. Pixies most Sc
rious wound was the fracture of his
skull on both sides. His legs were
shattered, but not severed. He is
native of this county and leaves a
wife and child. MIR. Wilson had
for number of years resided in
Kansas and had not been in Spar
tanburg but few months. He
leaves wife.
The electric light people sum-
moned physicians and did everything
possible for the wounded men, but
they were beyond hope of aid or re-
lief. The accident is greatly regret
ted by them and is distressing to the
public generally as we'll as the friends
of the dead men. The railway COM
pany has always taken every posi-
BILE precaution to guard the lives and
safety of it's employees and the pub
lie, but this was an accident, which,
it seems, could not have been pre-
vented

was suppressing his emotion by an effoll::
He spoke with greater feeling than had
been manifested by his colleague, particu-

he had been tried by the accusations
which had been made against him from
time to time. His statement follows:

Twenty
Years
Record Of
Murder,
Robbery
ano Rapine

Jack Sully, leader of the Three
Counties" gang of cattle rustlers, is in
a fair way to get his deserts. with
fourteen Of his companions he has
been arrested, and it is hoped to send
them to prison. Sully is declared to
have killed six men and to have shot
his own father in a quarrel.
A state of open warfare exists in Ly-
man, Pratt and Presho counties, S. d.,
between the South Dakota Cattle Deal
ers' association and the Three Counties
cattle rustling gang, the most notorl-
GUS, most powerful, most desperate or
%ganization Of robbers existing today
west of the Mississippi river.
For twenty years the Three Counties
gang has ruled in undisputed sway,
successfully resisting every effort OF
the law.
The organization includes the tough
est, most desperate frontiersmen in the
three counties, a score Of Rosebud In
dams and a number of county offi-
Gals. Such is the strength of the gang
and the terror it has spread that no

b babe. She made it her papoOse.
The suns and SHOWS of fifty years have
darkened the child's yisage, and he is
known to this day as Joe Blackbird, al
ways supposed to be an Indian.
Joe Blackbird is the third Of the ring
leaders of the Three Counties gang. He
was arrested last fall for stealing cat
tie and hiding them on Phelps island
below Oacoma. Phelps island has Il
bloody history. 1t contains perhaps
1000 acres and lies in the Missouri
river.
The Three Counties gang pose as gen.
tlemen. They won't steal all a mans
cattle the first time; but if he chicks up
a fuss" a second visit will follow, and
this time none is left. If the victim
still raises a howl" more vigorous
measures are taken. Perhaps he finds
his house in ashes. If he goes too far,
the rustlers take advantage of the fact
that dead lips tell no tales.
But Jack Sully made the mistake OF
his life when he sought the undoing OF
Pete Waugh last fall. His gang had
stolen Waugh's cattle. Waugh was
very vigorously kicking up a FUSS"
and Sully was afraid to let him go on
Waugh gave a dance. Sully and a con-
federate named Donnereau went to
start a row. The row was started, but
the bullet hit Waugh's elbow instead of
his heart. Waugh knew it was his life
or Sully's, and at last, after the outlaw
had eluded for twenty years every at
tempt by every kind of officer to arrest
him, he was ambushed and arrested.
Following this, fourteen others, in
Guiding Blackbird, were arrested;
hence it is the whole effort of the cat
tlemen is concentrated TO send those
leaders 10. the p~enitentiary. But how
can this be done when men secretly al
lied with the rustlers are drawn on the
iuries, when officials are afraid to do
their duty for fear of a bullet in the
night? The end of the Three Counties
gang is not yet.

Thos. Webb is The Victim OF a Gasoline
Explosion.

Thos. Webb, the plumber and we'll
driller, was the victim Of an explosion
of gasoline Friday which might have
resulted in serious injuries to himself,
but fortunately he escaped with some
painful bruises in the face.
Mr.. Webb was engaged in lighting
the gasoline burner used in his shop
for repair purposes and in some man
ner it refused to work. A quantity
of supply gasoline vas used to start
it in operation, some of which was
spilled about the machine and when a
match was ignited to set things going
there was a quick flash of fire and
Mr.. Webb's face received a painful
and severe scorching as the blaze
flew upwards.
Prompt measures relieved a por-
ton of the pain and the burns re-
sulting are of not such a serious ma
ture as to disfigure his face only for
the time being.

Johnny on Bullfrogs.

The bullfrog is large, green and
warty. He can jump several times
his W length. His voice is loud
but not pleasing. The bullfrog is
shy and diffident. He builds his nest
in damp, swampy places where it is
difficult to track him. At the slight
est alarm he utters a low, plaintive
note and Immediately seeks refuge in
the water. He is a good diver and
can swim like a fish except that he
does not wiggle, but kicks. There
was a frog once that blowed himself
full of air until he busted like a paper
bag. This shows the folly of vanity
and self conceit. Oh, my friends,
let us endeavor not to act in that
manner, but to be good and truthful.
Let us remember that life is short
and that we must always be up and
doing. Some people like bullfrogs to
eat, but | would rather have pie.

GR1PPED NELSON By Tile MUSE.
one knows of any of it's number ever
paying the penalty of the law for any
of the 100000 cattle they are estimated
by the Cattle Dealers association to
have stolen or the forty men they are
charged with having killed.
1t has taken twenty years to bring
the Three Counties gang to it's present
| state of perfection. 1t has all the ter
rors of the Malta, for it's members, now
numbering not less than 40, are sworn
to secrecy, and the dozens of men
found lying on their faces, bullet holes
in their backs, tell the penalty for viO-
lating the oath.
In the days when South Dakota was
the heritage of redskins a tall, bony,
red m~ustached man without q past
anne to Lyman county. His name was
Jack Sully. In a few years he had
gathered about him twenty or twenty
five cOnfederates. His own hut was
built on the top of the highest hill in
Lyman county. The other members of
the gang lived about him, scattered
over the whole county. Every man
owned a telescope, and the approach Of
parties was quickly discerned and her.
aided when they were miles away.
When marshals and sheriffs came to
Jack Sully's eerie, it was invariably de-
serted.
Innocent parties, even berry pickers
and tourists who wandered lear the
rendezvous of the gang, were warned
by the ping of bullets in the grass
before them to beat a hasty retreat.
Not many years after Sully the Mel
son boys emigrated to Lyman county
and settled down. Olaf Nelson, a mus
cular Norwegian, picked their homes
at the south end of Lyman county, near
the reservation. Only n man lives
who ever cowed Nelson.
The %favorite pastime of both Nelson
and Sully, after browbeating their enc
mics, was to ride to Oacoma, fill up on
whisky and go through the perform
ance of shooting up" the town. This
consisted of riding their bronchos up
and down the streets, revOlvers in either
hand, shouting oaths and ordering ev-
cry man in the streets to hunt his hole
or be blown to eternity" They were
always obeyed.
One night Olaf Nelson was amusing
himself by shooting holes through the
ceiling of one of the Oacoma saloons
and occasionally shooting the soles off
the shoes of the men at the bar when a
tall, giantlike stockman came in. His
| name is John Q. Anderson. Nelson saw
him.
"Come up and drink with me, or I'll
blow your head off," was Nelson's
greeting.
Anderson didn't speak. He walked
calmly up to the outlaw, gripped his
nose and twisted it till Nelson was OF
the floor, his revolver still in his hand.
Anderson pulled the revolver away,
kicked Nelson out into the street and
told him to go home. Nelson obeyed.
But Anderson is a big man and a sure
sEOt.
When the last Indian had left the
scene Of the bloody Spirit4ake massa-
ere in 1852, a babe was left lying by it's
dead Norwegian mother. An old squaw,
