the news to this city of the deatl

ard, was last seen alive Monday
evening by Elden Elliott who is
also working for Mr.. Anderson
herding sheep and as a general
supervisor Of the various bands.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Elliott
noticed Hamilton's band of sheep
somewhat scattered and thought
something was wrong but never
paid much attention to it in the
morning for the reason he
thought that maybe Hamilton
was busy rounding up another
band which was turned over to
him the day before. Not MOTTO
ing any change in the way the
sheep were grazing around in the
afternoon and not seeing any,
thing Of Hamilton S horse which
was supposed to be staked near
the tent he thought things
looked queer and took it upon
nlmsel1 to oinvestigate. He saddled
up his horse and rode up to the
tent and looked in where he found
hamilton lying dead with one
side OF his head and face blowed
OF. he Immediately hunted Mr..
Anderson and after INFORMING
MIN o. the accident he went to
Fuiton,s ranch where he 'phoned
the news to town.
The coroner at Miles City was
notified and he appointed T. j.
Martin to act as deputy and to
subpoena a jury to go out and hold
an inquest. The jury compris-

evening for the scene of the dis
aster at which place they arrived
about 2::45, just about the break
of day. Here the jury made an
investigation and found the body
lying on the bed with the side
of his head and face blown off.
A Al sixshooter was found lying
on his body near his left hand
with one shell discharged. The
body was taken out of the tent
and washed off and later in the
brought to town and
placed in the hall where the in
quest is still being held. Coroner
Gray came in from Miles early
his morning and as we go to
press is examining the body. The
ury will probably return their
verdict today.
James Hamilton was born in
3oreland Of Anwoth, Kirkcud-
'rightshire, Scotland in 1877 and
came to this country in 1904.

and Karg leading the horse, the caval-
cade moved slowly down to the creek,
where a tiny stream purled among
the rocks. The water revived the In
jured man for moment; he had even
strength enough, with some help, to
ride again; and. moving in the same
halting order, they took him to Reb-
stocks cabin. Rebstock, at the door,
refused to let the sinking man be
brought into the house. He cursed
Du Sang as the cause of all the trou-
BILE. But Du Sang cursed him with
usury, and, while Whispering Smith
listened, told Rebstock with bitter
oaths that If he had given the boy
Barney anything but a scrub horse
they never would have been trailed.
More than this concerning the affair
Du Sang would not say, and never
said. The procession turned from the
door. Seagrue led the way TO Reb-
stocks stable, and they laid Du Sang
on some hay
Afterward they got cot under him.
With surprising vitality he talked a
long time to Whispering Smith, but
at last fell into a stupor At nine
o'clock that night he sat up. Ed Banks
and Kennedy were standing beside the
cot. Du Sang became delirious, and
in his delirium called the name of
Whispering Smith; but Smith was at
Baggs' cabin with Bill Dancing. In
a spasm of pain, Du Sang. opening bis
eyes, suddenly threw himself back.
The cot broke, and the dying man
rolled under the feet of the frightened
horses. In the light of the lanterns
they lifted him back, but he was bleed
ing slowly at the mouth. quite dead.
The surgeon, afterward, found two
fatal wounds upon him. The first shot,
passing through the stomach. ex-
planned Du Sang's failure to kill at a
distance in which. uninjured. he could

have placed five shots within the COM
pass of silver dollar. Firing for
Whispering Smiths heart, he had, de-
spite the fearful shock, put four bull
lets through his coat before the rifle
ball from the ground, tearing at right
angles across the path of the first but

the head and stunned, had been
moved back to the cabin at Mission
Springs, and lay in the little bedroom.
A doctor at Oroville had been sent
for, but had not come. At midnight
of the second day, Smith, who was be-
side his bed, saw him rouse up, and
noted the brightness of his eyes as he
looked around. BILL" he declared,
hopefully, as he sat beside the bed,
you are better, hang it! / know you
are. How do you feel?"
"Ain't that blamed doctor here yet?
Then give me my boots. I'm going
back to Medicine Bend to Doc Torpy."
III the InoIHluS Whispering ohiieh,
who had cleansed and dressed the
wound and felt sure the bullet had not
penetrated the skull, offered no objec-
tion to the proposal beyond caution
ing him to ride slowly. "You can go
down part way with the prisoners,
Bill" suggested Whispering Smith.
Brill Young is going to take them
to Oroville, and you can act as chair
man of the guard"
Before the party started, Smith
called Seagrue to him. George, you
saved my life once. Do you remember
in the Pan Handle? Well, / gave
you yours twice in the Cache day be-
fore yesterday. | don't know how
