DOUBLE TRAGEDY/ West Black Hill* Lover Kills His Sweetheart and Com mits Suicide. A double tragedy occurred in the western portion of the Black Hills in which a young rancher and bis sweet heart were the principals. Allert Jensen, the young rancher, killed is sweetheart by striking ner on the head with a shotgun, and then took his own life by cutting hi* throat. Jensoen was a foiuier resident of Lawrence county, as was also Miss Tina Johnson, his sweetheart, who, with her parents, departed about eigh teen months ago for their new home in the western part of the Black Hills Jensen had been keeping lompanv with the girl previous to their depar ture from Lawrence county. The tragedy occurred in Jensen's cabin, near the home of the Johnsons. The girl was evidently killed instant ly by the force of the blow acrofli her forehead and face. Her body was found lying upon the floor of the cabrn. There was a large hole in her forehead, and her face was badly mutilated. After murdering the girl Jensen wrote thiee letters, all of which were to the effect that he was in love with her and that she had promised to marry him, but that she teased him all the evening and be became angry and kill ed her. Jensen cut tiia throat with a razor, which wa» found lvinjt beside the lied. His suffering must have been intense, for he had walked about the cabin, evi dently for the purpose of getting a shell for his gun with which to put an eud to his sufferings, as bloody tracks led up to a box containing some empty shells. But there was no evidence that a shot was fired. An empty shell was found in his shotgun, but it is believed it was placed there after he had cut his throat. The last time Jensen and his sweetheart weie se-jn alive was the evening before the day their bodies were discovered, when they departed for the purpose of attending a dance in the neighborhood.

They were released on bail and trial called lefore a judge this afternoon, at which time the case was dismissed on a small tecnicalitv of the law. The 1!X3 law leads that no person was allowed to hunt buaffalo. elk deer or mountain sheep, the comma being left out by the compositor of the code. Therefore, as it was not an elk, the case was dis missed. Had they been found guilty, the least they could have gotten was UKt fine and sixty days in jail. The plaintiffs got the deer and are now treating their friends to a nice niece of venison. The deer was supused to have been driven into this part the country by a pack of dogs.
