MISS ESTHER MAY IS
PROBABLY FATALLY SHOT

Deadwood Telegram, March 20.
Miss Esther May, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob May of Terry, was
accidentally shot and probably fatal
ly wounded yesterday afternoon at
the White trestle between Terry and
Lead by a 32-caliber automatic rifle
in the hands of her sweetheart, Win
Mexican. This startling news was
received by her friends this morn
ing, when it became known that she
had been taken from the Terry home
to St. Josephs hospital for the re-
moval of the bullet
Misses May and Sedwell Bunney
of Lead had been visiting at the
May home Sunday afternoon and
upon their announcement that they
were ready TO return home Miss May
and Will Mexican said they would
walk as far as the White trestle
with their Lead visitors. An auto
matte 32-calibre Colts was taken
along to shoot at marks or an acca-
sional bird. Upon nearing the
trestle Miss Bunney was given the
pistol to shoot at mark but she
was unable to discharge the weapon.
Its empty" she said as she
handed it to Mexican to examine. No
sooner had the gun been taken by
the youth than it was discharged
and Esther May fell writhing to the
ground with a wicked hole in her
abdomen. The party were terror
stricken and the terrible situation
that faced them was to get assist
ance AS luck would have it a
handcar was procurable and the suf-
fering girl was taken in this way to
her home in Terry, from whence she
was removed to St. Joseph's hospi-
tai for the removal of the ball.
At an early hour this morning the
victim of the accident was in great
pain and very weak from loss OF
blood, but no definite report of her
condition was obtainable. The
course of the bullet was through the
intestines and mesentery, the tissues
which connect the intestines with
the dorsal wall of the abdominal
cavity, cutting an artery in it's
course.
Miss May is but eighteen years
old, spirited, accomplished and pop.
ular with the younger set and if, by
the slightest chance, she is spared
from the severest results of her in
juries it will be one of those miracles
that are happily acceptable.
The young people who were in the
party are overcome with grief and
while no blame is attached to Will
Mexican he has suffered soul tortur.
| ing anguish.
Miss May made a statement this
morning, which clearly makes tho
shooting an accidental occurrence.

PAY OF BRITISH MAYORS.
They Govern Ancient Burghs But
Don't Get Much Money Out
or the Job.

The following information refers
to cities of the approximate popula-
ttion of 235 1000, that being the pop
ulation of the city in the United
States whence the inquiry came as to
the salaries of mayors in the United
Kingdom, says the United States
consul general of London.
The English city nearest in popu-
lation to the foregoing number, as
castle, the mayor Of which receives
far as my investigation went, is New
$4,000 per annum Additional re-
Enumeration is sometimes made to
cover expenses of exceptional occa-
sions. There is also an annual al
lowance of $3.50 for horses and car
riages.
The population of Dublin Gin each
instance I am following the British
census of 1000, is 100000. The
lord mayor of Dublin for some time
received about $4,000 year, but
in November, 1910, this salary was
reduced to about $4,000.
Bradford, with a population of
100000, makes no allowance for its
lord mayor. On exceptional occas~
ions appropriations are made, but
no portion of the same is ever per-
sonally used by the lord mayor.
Bristol, with a population of $780,
600 allows its mayor $4,000 annu-
ally, and $500 toward defraying the
expenses of private secretary. The
cost of the upkep of the municipal
coach, mems wages and livery are
betrayed directly out of the public
funds.
Edinburgh, having a population
of $4,000, allows its lord provost,
corresponding to lord mayor of on
English city, the sum Of $4,000 a
year.
Sheffield, with 100000 people, al
lows nothing whatever to it's chief
municipal executive. A special COM
mittee has recently been appointed
to examine into this question and to
report as to It's desirability of pro-
viding some remuneration.
Leeds, with population of 429,-
900, Belfast with $4,000, and Hull
with $4,000, make no allowance for
the remuneration of their mayors. as
the case may be. In Hull, however,
at the time of the coronation of Ed
ward VII, an allowance was made
to the lord mayor of $4,000.

WORK is RESUMED AT
MONARCH NINE
Workmen Were Ready to Commence
Digging Black Diamonds
Today.

Sheridan, Wyo., March 20.-Con-
serning the resumption of work at
de Monarch coal mine which was
out out of commission by fire some
time ago, the Post of this city has
the following to say:
For the first time since the ex-
BLOSSOMS which occurred during the
last days of January, the Monarch
nine will begin Monday, pulling
coal, and within a short time will be
eeady to supply it's many patrons
with their favorite Black Diamonds.
For a few days horse power will be
ased to draw the coal from the mine,
and the haulage from the slope to
she tipple will be made by gravity,
eat before the end of the week an
electric motor will be in operation
and most Of the horses will be SHOW
I'd into the discard.
The haulage slope will be in what
u known as No. 20, which before the
explosion was an air shaft and man
way. The grade of this slope is not
heavy, and the loaded cars can be
easily drawn out by horses. From
the opening of the slope to the flat
oust above the tipple, there is a
continuous grade, down which the
ears will be sent by gravity, while
she empties will be taken back to the
dope with horses.
Heavy walls will be constructed in
the seventh and eighth west, form
ting effectual barriers between the
old fire zone and the new workings.
Back of the first walls, distance of
twenty or more feet, other walls
nave been built, and the space be-
tween these walls has been filled
with dirt, 80 that all danger, either
from fire or explosion from this
ssurce is eliminated.
About rs miners will be EN-.
eioyed, and by doubling the shift
ehe output will be equal to that OF
$50 leaders and from the start will
probably run to 500 tons per day.
Saturday evening, after the day
sAift comes out, an exploring party
will enter the mine and attempt tc
push it's way down the ninth west
coward the old slope. 1t is not the
attention to again attempt to use
shis old slope, but much valuable ma
ehinery remains in the mine, and 6
determined effort will be made tt
salvage it. If the conditions permit
q is also the intention to build 9th
or walls which will completely iso
tate the fire zone and put an end tt
all danger from that source for al
dine to come,
No exploring will be done while
oiners are at work, and the manag
9s believe that the exploring part!
will be in little if any danger.
The use of horses in hauling thu
coal was made necessary by the de
ny in receiving wire to be used IL
slectrifying railroad track. This
wire is expected by the middle o
aext week, and it will require onl!
. short time to string the wire
whom the motor can at ones be pu
Il running order.

MANY LAWS MUDDLED :
BY THE SOLONR
In Rush of Closing Days Severan
Statutes Passed in Ridiculous
Shape.

Pierre, March 1S.-As interested
parties begin to dig into the laws en-
acted at the last session they ara
hndlng more of the results of push
ing overworked clerks at the CLOSING
hours of the session to get out lawn
which could just as well have been
enacted earlier in the session. But
it is a natural result of attempting
to finish up the work of half the ses-
sion in two days time. One of tho
laws attempted to increase tho
salary of Superintendent Meade or
the insane asylum from $4,000 TO-
$4,000. The house passed the bill
at $4,000 and the senate increased 10
to the higher figure. This resultea
in conference committee which 49,
cepted the figure fixed by the senate,
and the report of the conferees wac
accepted by both houses. But thu
law filed in the office of the secr~-
tary of state only places the salary
at $4,000.
A bill was introduced to provide
for the deficiency in Transporting
prisoners to the penitentiary. the
amount asked being just what was.
shown to be due by vouchers fled
with the state auditor, and at the
same time $4,000 was asked to meeo
such bills for the future. WhiIc,
that was the bill of which the "dv-
pllcate" was sent to the printer. tho,
one actually introduced as the "or-
1g1nal" only asked for $4,000 add.
t1ona1, and is 500 short of the d.
hclencies, and some sheriff in tho,
state who gets in late will have 10
wait two years more for his def
cheney" and there will be another
oehclency to care for in the same,
item when the next session meeta.
In providing for the salaries and ex.
penses of the judges of the newly
created Eleventh and Twelfth cir.
cults, up to the first of July. an
ltemized statement of the needs Wa,
made, but the total appropriated
does not equal the itemized state.
ment, and these judges will be shors
or the amount which was expected
they would have when the bill was.
introduced.
In another case there was a dt1.
ference of the emergency CLAUSE
on a bill between the two houses.
Inc conference committee reportea
that 1t should be placed on the bin.
and both houses accepted the re-.
port, but the law filed in the Offices
or the secretary, does not show any
such an appendage.
These are few of the troubled
outside sending a bill to the gov
ernor which never passed the sem
ate' but they are likely only startero
as to what will develop later. These
are some of the features of the work
OF a 'leaderless" legislature which
