Skelly Estate Case.

Deadwood.-A settlement in the now
famous Skelly estate case, which for
ten years has been in course of litiga-
ton in the local probate court and has
attracted attention in Ireland, as well
as numerous points in this country,
is now imminent. After many legal
skirmishes and moves the case was
heard on argument before Judge Nc
Nenny in the circuit court here and
has been taken under a~dvisement. The
Sicily estate unearthed many heirs
and got widespread publicity some
months ago when the report got
abroad that it was worth q million
dollars. In reality it consists of min
ing ground of uncertain value, as it
is largely undeveloped, and those fin
ally proven heirs may have to wait
many more months before they realize
a fortune. The differences between
the New Orleans heir and one set of
Brooklyn heirs are now about settled
and the decision is expected shortly.
The question of heirship which has
proved so puzzling is due to the fact
that Skelly for 35 years failed to COM
municate with his relatives and there
is today no direct evidence connect
ing any of the numerous claimants
with the deceased miner.

McCarty Is Caught.

Woonsocket. Shorty McCarts,
n of the three prisoners who recent.
ly escaped from the Woonsocket Jail,
has been recaptured. After making
his escape he went to Miner county
and had not been there more than a
day OF two when he robbed a haro-
ware store at Villas. Suspicion was
directed against him and he was ar
rested by the Miner county authorities.
The Sanborn county officers heard
OF the arrest and readily identified
McCarty as one of the three men who
had escaped from them. The day be-
fore making his escape, McCarty had
been sentenced to a term of one year
in the Sioux Falls penitentiary, and
he now has been lodged in the penn
tertiary to serve this sentence. He
is a hobo, and is the second tramp
to be sentenced to the p~enitentiary
from Sanborn county this summer.

Webster.-Thc Day county authorf-
ties, after a pursuit extending over
several counties, have arrested a Sis
seton Sioux Indian named Robert Max
on the charge of horse stealing. The
Indian only a few months ago com
pleted a term of six months in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary for a similar
o~ffense. His latest crime was the
theft of a team of horses and a buggy
at Waubay. Soon after stealing the
horses, and while attempting to make
his way out OF the country with them,
the animals became frightened and
ran away, smashing the buggy to
splinters. The Indian had a narrow
escape from being seriously injured.
He then made his way on foot back
to his home in Roberts county, and
upon his appearance there was ar
rested by the Day county authorities.
