Lead, S. D.. Aug. 26.-As a direct re-
suit of h beating he received at the
hands of a gang of thugs in Butte a
year ago, w. l. Somers, for two years
past n of the chief detectives of the
Homestahe Mining company, died at
his home here of paralysis. Somers'
end, while ultimately expected, came

Nearly two years ago, during the
Homestake labor troubles here, Somers
who, for 80 years had been in the Pink
erton service and had operated from
coast to coast, particularly hunting
down Western Federation men, came
here from Denver. During the trouble
here "Pettibone dope" was used in ar
attempt to destroy one of the Home
stake cyanide plants and was traced
to Emmett O'Grady, a young fedora
zionist. Somers got on his track anG
followed him until he was arrested in
Butte. While Somers was taking his
crowd of O'Grady's friends set upon
him and beat him so severely that he
was in the hospital for months. O'Grady
escaped, u later Somers traced him
to Chicago, brought him back, and he
was tried and convicted here, and is
now serving time in the Sioux Falls
p~enitentiary for tho crime.
friends Of O'Grady are alleged te
have made the boast that they would
get" the detective, but he laughed al
threats, although he never recovered
from his Butte injuries.
