THE LUCK 0F DAG0 j0

1 He then returned to the Horseshoe saloon. his hands covered with blood there washed up. Presently James entered, his face and clothes streaming with blood and presenting q ghastly appearance. Jo seeing him enter, immediately started for the back door but stopped be. hind the screen which stands before it. James, without speaking, walk ed to within few feet of him and, drawing a revolver, fired. The ball struck the brandy bottle he held, shattering 1t and spilling the liquor over the floor. Jo ran around the screen and a second shot shattered the glass in it and glanced into the wall. A third ball followed the flee ing figure toward the front door and
 
 cut a clean hole through the window. But it also went wild, Jo continued his flight and James did not follow but immediately went to his home.

Al James and a character known
 to a large part of the town as Dago Jo were taken to jail at an early hour this morning as the result of an en- counter between the two and the lat ter Is peculiarly fortunate that he was not landed in the morgue instead The two had an altercation on the street which was followed by a des- perately direct attempt upon his life by James with a revolver. Three shots were fired point blank and at close range by James nd that they went wild is considered a miracle in Jos behalf. The real reason of the poor shooting was that James was blinded by blood which flowed down his face from wounds inflicted by Dago. The shooting took place in the Horseshoe saloon at a little past midnight. The men had met earlier in the evening and drank together at the bar where they became engaged in a dispute. James went out and was followed by Jo who had a bot tie of brandy with which he attacked James.
 A. B. Wilson, bartender, hearing th scuffle went out and iuterterred, drag ing Jo back into the saloon. He i'm mediately ran out in pursuit how ever and overtaking James near Thibedeaus barber shop engaged him again using the bottle with fearful effect. cutting James head open.

Death of Chas. w. Belts.

The Smithwick community was
startled by news of the sudden sick
ness and death of Mr.. @. w. Belts last
Friday, Nov. Goth. At dinner time he
was apparently as we'll as ever. He has
been unusually we'll the last six months
and the shock came all the more sud-
den to his family because they had
had no warning of any sickness. He
was working in his blacksmith shop,
when he complained of sickness and
walked to the we'll, but had to be carried
to tie house from there and was almost
insensible from that time, having only
three hours of illness before he passed
quietly away. His death was caused
by brain paralysis.
Chas. Wellington Belts was born at
Bettsville, Ohio, Dec. 4, 1848. The
family moved to Kielkirk. Iowa, whom
he was four years of age. Later he
married Rose Marble and theirs has
been q very happy union, both seeming
to depend upon ono another for every.
thing in life. They moved to Harden
Co. whore their two children, Earl and
Pearl were born and raised.
In 1883 they came west and have
lived at Smithwick, since 1889. Mr..
and Mrs. Belts are known. far and wide
as old settlers Of this county. he has
just completed q nice new homo and
was preparing to enjoy it after years
Of toll. Their home will ever be re-
membered as one at which III friends
or needy. ones, were ever Welcomed.
Mr.. Belts was a. kind and loving
husband and father and in times Of
sickness and trouble in other homes,
gave unestimated help to those in
sorrow. His funeral was held 1t the
home Sunday morning, Rev. Harry
Chappell officiating. He spoke words
Of helpfulness and purpose which cam
not fail to linger in the memory of all
hearers. A large procession followed
the remains to the German graveyard,
where he was laid at rest.

GAME OF FOOTBALL.
Deadwood and Hot Springs Play The
Former Winning, IL to 0.

Former Winning, IL to o.
The football teams Of the Ho'
Springs high school and the Dead
wood high school met on the loca
gridiron last Saturday afternoon. Il
must be said that the expectations ol
the crowd were not very encouraging
before the game as the Deadwood
bunch defeated the Rapid City team 8
few weeks ago and the Rapid City team
defeated our boys BY SCORE of 81 to o
However, although slightly outweight
ed, the boys went. into the game de
termined to fight to q finish.
During the first half the Hot Springs
boys were little nervous and quite 9
few fumbles were made, and II might
pc added that the score twould have
been considerably smaller had 1t not
been for these fumtles, as the visit.
ors only earned six of their points.
The position known as SAFETY was
one which Leslie Chappell had never
played before and he was therefore not
practised in catching the ball when
punted by the opposite team. In fact
none of the boys had been drilled for
this position. However, he showed
considerable pluck in the efforts which
he made
All of the boys were in pretty good
shape Saturday and every one played
good game. Joe Mates punts we're
little, if any, surpassed by the Dead.
wood team punter, and in Joe's praise
let it be said that he was perfectly
cool and wideawake, no matter how ex-
citing moment came about. All of
our back field was playing fine game.
At the end of the first half the score
was II to o.
The second half was more like the
games one reads about. 1t was the
longer half of the two and neither side
was able to score. Jensen and Burley
very successfully went through the
line many times, covering the required
amount of ground. Our own line held
like iron during this halfand held back
any attempts to score BY means of
center or line rushes. The local team
showed in this half that they possessed
the material to make first class team,
and with sufficient coaching and prac.
tice, they will next year be in line for
the Black Hills pennant, which is held
this year by Deadwood.
