AFFRAY
Victim L. Shot i'm Breast, but May

Bancroft, Aug. 19.-Incomplete
details of a shooting affray at a
farm some miles from town have
been received here, and a sheriff's
posse now is on the trail of the man
accused of doing the shooting. The
names Of the parties involved have
not been secured as yet. Both men
were employed with other t%hreshers
on the farm. The first the other
men knew of the trouble vas when
they heard the shot fired. The bull
let struck the victim of the shooting
in the breast, the bullet passing
through a lung and emerging from
the back of his body. 1t is believed
his life can be saved. If the men
quarreled they did IL so quietly that
the attention of their companions
was not attracted. The only descrip-
ton secured of the man who did the
shooting is that he has a crippled
arm and Is cross eyed. The officers
are very hopeful of effecting his
capture.

FIGHT BY MISTAKE
Two Men Misunderstood Each Other

Aberdeen. Aug. 1.-two men sat
eating lunch in a restaurant here last
night. They were talking lodge.
One man, paying more attention to
his pie than his enunciation, uttered
a statement which the other took as
indicating that the first man belong
ed to a workman's order which is in
bad grace in many railroad circles.
The second then made a statement,
which, coming through the hole of
an appraised doughnut, sounded like
an insult.
A battle started. One man had
his forehead bruised up; the other
had his scalp laid open with a cof-

BORDER FUED
KILLING OF ALLEGED RUSTLER
IN WESTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Keystone, Aug. ia border
feud may result from the sensational
shooting and killing a few days ago
of l.. H.. Hampton, an alleged cattle
"rustler," by John M. Russell and
his son George. who reside in the vi
entity of Sundance. All the parties
to the tragedy were known to many
residents of the extreme western sec
ton of South Dakota. Details of the
affray show Ii TO have been one of
the most sensational Of frontier
tragedies.
Hampton for some time had been
holding cattle in the vicinity of what
is known as Williams divide, and
also was engaged in farming. The
Staying of Hampton occurred at a
dance given in a ranch house on the
divide. While the dance was in
progress the Russells entered the
room and within a few minutes had
become involved in a dispute with
Hampton. The war of words had
continued but a short time when
George Russell drew his six shooter
and shot Hampton just below the
heart.
Hampton fell insanity when shot,
and 1t Is alleged that while he was
struggling on the floor the elder
Russell a up TO him and with his
six shooter shot the wounded man
through the right side the heavy
bullet passing entirely through the
body and SCATTERING Hampton's left
wrist.
A panic Immediately resulted in
the dance hall. but some of the cool
er headed men seized the Russells
and disarmed them. Later they
were turned over to the sheriff of
Crook county and lodged in Jail
pending their trial. Hampton lin
gered some time before he died of
his two wounds, either one of which
would have caused death.
1t Is said he was generally esteem
ed by those who know him. Many
look upon the killing as unwarrant-
ed, as Hampton was unarmed at the
time he was shot down. 1t is said
the R~ussells claim to have been dep
uty sheriffs and that Hampton was
wanted for stock rustling. Others
say the shooting and killing of
Hampton was the termination of an
old and long standing feud between
the Russells and himself, they being
neighbors. 1t is reported that feel
ing among the ranchers and home
steaders of the region is running
high against the Russells.

war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. Especial: For
the first time in weeks no change in
any theater of war vas reported
Thursday. The most violent fight
took place on the west end of the
British line on the Somme. Several
times the Germans advanced in force
i'm a desperate effort to beat back the
British lines northwest of Pozieres.
London reports that all of thees as
saults were repulsed with heavy
losses and that the British in turn
captured about 100 yards OF trenches
northwest OF Bazentine.
An interesting feature of the sit
uation on the western front is that
the Germans, contrary to their usual
practice, have so far made no at
tempt to deliver a counter attack in
the region where the French and
British claim to have captured nearly
three miles of trenches on Wednes-
day. The French are busily consol-
idating their gains and report no ac-
ton of importance on any section Of
their front, including the Verdun re-
gion. Some mystery exists as TO the
situation on the eastern front. For
two consecutive days the Russians
have confined themselves to the
statement that nothing of importance
has occurred. The Austrian and Ger
man war offices have been almost
equally uncommunicative. The only
fighting mentioned by Vienna was
the repulse of Russian attacks on the
lines of Gen. Won Boehm-Ermoli,
who is in command of the Teutonic
forces retiring from the Tarnopol
front. Berlin reports the repulse Of
Russian attacks south of Brody.
The lull in the Italian operations
against Trieste is unofficially ex
planned from Rome as due to Gen
Cadorna's desire to straighten his
lines before proceeding with a gen.
eral offensive against the great Aus.
trian seaport. Austrian seaplanes
have again raided Venice. but Rome
says they caused only slight damage
