AGREE ON SETTLEMENT FOR PETER RXJONA DEATH An order was Issued by Judge Russell in the county court yesterday authorizing a settlement of the claim held by the estate of the late Peter Ruona against the Burlington railroad and the Golden Reward Consolidated Mining and Milling company. According to the terms of the order, the administratrix, Mrs.

Anna Ruona, widow of deceased, is permitted to accept $1,125 in full settlement of the claim. Ruona was killed about eight months ago, while in the employ of the Golden Reward company at their plant in the First ward of Deadwood. He was engaged In handling the ore cars brought from the Bald Mountain mines and delivered by the Burlington railroad. He was on night shift and his duties required him to be on the trestle, upon which the ore cars are run, to be unloaded In the mill bins. It was also part of his duties to let the cars down from the trestle to the main track and this was done by brake control.

Ruona was found dead toeslde the track and PARTY CASES HAND BAGS VANITIES it appeared that he had fallen through the open bottom of one of the cars as It was being let down. It is supposed that an accident happened to the brake, allowing It to run down the Incline at high speed, thus throwing Ruona from the position in which he was at the time of handling the brake. M'CLELLAN INSISTS HIS RECORD STRAIGHT Notwithstanding the court-martial of Seth Bullock camp, Spanish War Veterans, which ejected him from the order recently, George B. McClel-lan of Lead insists that his record Is straight and that he will be able to prove it when the proper times comes. He did not put in a defense when the courtmartial was in session, preferring to postpone the presentation of his case until some' future time, when he shall have had an opportunity to get together the papers necessary to prove his integrity.

In the charges upon which the courtmartial acted, McClellan was accused of having sailed under false colors; It was alleged that he had gained entrance to Seth Bullock camp, by representing that he had served in the Philippines during the Spanish-American war, when in fact he had never served any place except at Fort Meade. He ls-alleged to have asserted that he enlisted in a Montana company at Anaconda, under the name of McCullum, for the reason that he was under age at the time and was forced to take an assumed name in order to get in. He made this assertion when the roster of the Anaconda company had been produced and the name of McClellan was not found there. But later, it was found that the real McCullum, whose name appears on the Anaconda company roster, Is still alive and a prominent citizen of that place. He offered to come here and testify at the courtmartial, but it was not con sidered necessary.

Members -of Seth Bullock camp also assert that the war records at Washington show that McClellan served only at Fort Meade and was not in the army In the Philippines. It was on his alleged war record that he became prominent in local Spanish War Veteran circles. He was at one time commander of Seth Bullock camp and also division department commander for the state. This is about the condition of the controversy at present and both Mc-Clellan's friends and others Interested in the local camp are anxiously awaiting the final termination of the dispute. Notice.

RACE RIOT IN LEAD BRINGS $100 FINES Lead Call: For a time Wednesday It looked as though the scene of hos tilities had been transferred from the Balkans to Lead, and that another bloody battle would be fought within the city limits. However, the row quieted down after considerable effort on the part of Night Chief Young and Officer O'Meara, but for a time it really looked like a serious affair, and there were those who apparently were willing to precipitate trouble if given an opportunity, and the wonder Is that blood was not shed. Prompt action on the part of the police, who had been summoned at the first appearance of trouble, averted, In all likelihood, a killing or two.

Pleich fought back valiantly, but others struck him from almost every angle, and he was having a hard time of it, when the row became general, and most anything that came to hand was employed as a weapon. Chief Young appeared about this time, and, at the request of Mr. Milos began frisking the men in the room to see If any were carrying concealed weapons.

The fight was becoming general, having started Just as the searching was begun, and the chief, with the assistance pf Milos and his bartenders, shoved the combatants into the street, where. for a time the spirit of battle seemed to cool off, only to break forth In a new spot. For a time the chief and Officer O'Meara, who had arrived on the scene, were busy preventing and stopping incipient rows, and the rest of the fighting was confined to one knockdown and talk. The parties to the riot were ar raigned In court yesterday morn ing and entered a plea of not guilty, their bonds were fixed at $250 to appear for trial on Julv 7th. Later they changed their plea to guilty, and were fined $100 or eighty days in Jail.

The line was drawn pretty close and religion, it is said, was allowed to creep in and add to the Intensity of the dislike the two factions hold for one another. Orthodox Greek churchmen and the professors of Ca-tholocism in the factions came to loggerheads. Members of the Orthodox Servian church declared that Cuke Ferdinand had expressed his intention to destroy their church. Austrlans of the Catholic faith defended the late Duke, and all it needed was to start something and things would be doing.

The row had been seen coming for two days, but it was not believed that it would burst forth so violently and so soon. It was about 8:15 in the evening when the red light shone forth, giving warning that something was happening that required the attention of the police and they arrived cn the scene none too soon. The fight started In the Wild Deer saloon and George Plelch, who, it is said, had been one of a party to a heated argument the night before, was made the victim of an assault by several Servians and was badly battered and bruised before his assailants could be pulled off. John Milos had anticipated trouble, and when the Servians entered his place he thought that something was going to be pulled off, so he sent his bartender out to look for the police. After the new arrivals In the saloon had purchased several rounds, one of them walked George A.
