Another phase in the McMahon case.
at Deadwood, which q year ago at
tracted widespread attention came with
the rendering of verdict by jury in
the circuit court of $4,000 damages
against Mrs. Nellie Mcmahon, in favor
of w. r. Ladd, as guardian Of the
minor children of the late David p.
Thomas. Thomas, who was an attorney
and formerly from Iowa, was shot and
killed by Mrs. Mcmahon in his Office,
at stnrgis, she alleging that he had
declined to yield up certain property
to her. Mrs McMahon was later 40.
quilted of murder, but was ordered to
the asylum, as her plea for acquittal
had been temporary insanity. Judge
McGee at Rapid City granted her q
hebeas corpus relief and the suit for
damages by the Thomas children is the
latest outcome of the affair. Mrs.
McMahon is reported to be we'll to do.

bat he lifted one between right and
center for a homerun scoring Buck.
