SAYS SHE IS HIS WIDOW.
Woman Sues for Estate on Common
Law Claim.

Woman Sues for Estate on Common
Law Claim.
Claiming that she had been shade
the wife of John Shelley by common
law contract, Miss Anna TaggA who
now gives her name as Mrs. Anna
Shelley, has commenced q suit in the
courts at Deadwood by which she
hopes to acquire possession OF an es-
tate valued at $55. 900. This consists
chiefly of mining property, situated
adjoining the Homestake mine at Lead.
and held under United States patent.
Shelley died suddenly at Deadwood
several months ago. He was sixty
years old and supposedly unmarried.
He had come to the Black Hills in
1875 and had acquired q fortune by
hard work and earnest application.
Immediately after his death the wom-
an filed a petition asking that she be
appointed Administrative of the estate,
stating that she was the widow of the
deceased, and offering proofs that she
had lived with him as his wife, al
though no marriage ceremony had
been performed. Her petition elected
protests from the creditors Of the
Shelley estate and from Luke j. Skel-
ley of Rochester, N. Y, a nephew Of
the deceased, who claims to be the
legal heir. At the hearing in the coun-
ty court the application of the woman
was denied and Joseph M. Rickle of
Deadwood was appointed administra.
tor with the consent of all the par
ties.
Shelley died in the woman's apart,
ments in a Deadwood rooming house.

by Wholesale.
A careful canvas up to this date
shows that t~wenty-four dogs partook
OF poisonous meat scattered about
town at Miller recently. sixteen of
whom died in great agony, the others
having partially recovered. Dogs will
eat of the meat and die for weeks yet,
so there is no telling how manv "a
talities may finally be charged UP to
the destroyer. The estimated value OF
the dogs lost is placed at $500 by the
owners. A large reward has been
pledged by the of the CANNES
for information leading to the arrest
of the guilty man-though some claim
it was a woman dressed as a man
who scattered the fatal doses. 1t Is
estimated that fully twenty-five cats
met the same fate, with more dying

CITES UNITED STATES

London. Jan. 1.-The Central News
quotes high Russian authority" as
declaring that Russia's position in re-
gard to Manchuria is misunderstood.
Russia, he says. has done much to civ
ilize that province. having expended
on railways alone five hundred million
pounds, while in other lines IL has ex-
pended large quantities of money.
The powers, according to the Cen
trail News informant, are pushing
Japan forward against her will. Rus
sia's position in Manchuria is similar
to that adopted by the United States
in dealing with Cuba, both before and
after the Spenish-American war. The
United States even went further and
declined to permit Cuba to negotiate
treaties without permission. The
United States also gobbled up all de-
sirable naval stations without con-
sulting the wishes of any other ma
ton.
