smith, was found in the cellar of their
home last night with the head crushed by
a hammer. The husband was missing at
the time and was suspected of the crime.

claim shack on the Brule reservation. He
began a fight against capture and was
shot through the chest, two bullets taking
effect. He lived but a short time. None
of the posse was injured, though he fired
on the men several times.
Positive proof is at hand to warrant
the statement that Lansing's crime was
, premeditated. He had threatened his wife
md her brother because of divorce pro-
ceedings which she had started on ac-
count OF cruelty. The crime occurred about
? o'clock yesterday afternoon. The three
