John Harrington, OF Elk Point, Was
Crazed from Excess OF L.irrcr.


Elk Point, S. D., June 27.-John
Harrington, aged 10 years, died early
his morning on his farm four miles
east of town. The circumstances of MS
demise We're such as to demand tnves-
LEGATION by the authorities. At an in
quest this afternoon a ~coroner's jury
returned o verdict of death by acute
alcoholism.
Harrington lived With his brother,
Daniel Harrington, a mute. Yesterday
Daniel Harrington bought q bottle OF
whisky at Elk Point at his brothers
request. When bedtime came in the
evening John told Daniel 10 go 10 bed;
that he was going to SIT up and read
awhile. AT daybreak the barking Of
a dog awoke Daniel and getting up and
not finding his brother in the house
he went out doors in search Of him and
the dog took him to the orchard, about
$50 feet from the houae, and there he
found John bleeding from the mouth
ana ears, covered with bruises on his
face and arms, and almost dead. With
considerable effort he carried him into
the house, but the ma expired before
he could get aid.
1t is believed that upon consuming
a portion OF the whisky Harrington had
become crazei and had run wild in the

have been received from contact with
a barbed wire that served as a fence
between the yard and the orchard.

Old Timers Hold Their Annual Re-
union az Lead.
Lead, S. D., juno 25.-Thirty years
ago the pioneers of the Eiack Hills be-
gan to make their appearance and TO
plaze the trail for their followers, and
Wednesday the society Of Black Hills
Ploneers, composed of those who came
to he Hills on or before 1876, held its
annual picnic.
Heralded by bands and mounted OFF,
GERS, the little procession with only fifty
pioneers in line (for their ranks are
thinning faSt) made its way toWard the
park. Near the head of the procession
came Deadwood DicI. and his pack
mule loaded with pick, shovel and pan
Tor a prospector'S outfit. He was
dressed in the rough and serviceable
clothes which fitted the life Of the
early plainsman. With him, and also
leading pack horses, were two other
old timers. and following closely came
the old Deadwood stage which has
made so many trips between the Hills
and the Missouri river. 1t was driven
by James W. Allen, ono of the early
timers. who in the fall Of IS came from
Cheyenne, where he was running a liv-
cry stable, to take his part in the VEN
lures Of the Hills.
Many OF the principal houses IL Lead
and Deadwood, conducted by pioneers,
closed their doors this afternoon that
the owners and employees might help TO
celebrate. Cold weather and q heavy
rain interfered somewhat with the day,
and the snow which fell at Bald noun
tain kept a number away. One Of the
most interesting features Of the process
sion was the dingy and frayed old
United States flag which came into the

of members will not exceed $50.
