Dak., Feb. 28.—Harry Tuttle, one of the cowboys engaged in the tight with deputy United States Marshal Raymond and posse at Stoneville, ten days ago, in which fight he was shot through the left elbow and was abandoned by his comrades, was brought to the county hospital at Spearfish for treatment. Saturday last a party organized to lynch him, but were dissuaded by better minded men. Tuesday night, a party of eight, wearing buffalo coats and masks, appeared at the hospital, half the party remaining outside, while the others entered the ward, where they terrified the only nurse present, pounced upon the helpless victim, who, before he could utter more than a piercing scream, was gagged and dragged, without clothing, other than a nightshirt, from the building, through the cold night air. to acliff a short distance away. There a rope was fastened to a tree overhanging the precipice, a noose was formed around the victim’s neck, and, without an opportunity to ask for mercy, or time to make peace with his God, Tuttle was pushed over the brink. The fall broke a leg, but did not dislocate his neck, and the man died by strangulation. An inquest was held yesterday, and the body brought here to-day for interment. The outrage is universally condemned, and efforts will be made to apprehend the leaders of the mob. Tuttle was a hard case, but his helpless and dying condition makes sympathy with the better class of people under these circumstances.St. Paul, March 2.—Sp^ial to the Bozemrn Chronicle—A creat battle haspie of equ no advanti poration t'. o fulfill it unearned sgress rnav them forfi sighted po the land igovemmei ability to r wouid be c stances, remains to value whit ment if tli vert.Mr. Rayi bill to ame lows: “Th or who shaany of the•States, und hemestead the United year from 1 which to * upon the I; That he sh thereon, ar five acres o ther, that from his h time durinj January, F year, for th ment, sha make prooi ed by law.
