FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
Death of Iohn Hilbert Alone Near
Fort Laramie.
Result of the C0roner's Inquest
Over the Remains.
Sad Story of a Poor Man With a
Large Family.

Several days ago IHE LEADER an
nounced the receipt of a telegram by
Coroner Chafin summoning him to Fort
Laramie to inquire into the causes which
led to the demise of John Hilbert, who
had been found dead near the post.
The coroner left at once, and after in
vestigating the matter started for home
Immediately, reaching the city last even
ing on the Cheyenne & Northern train.
Contrary to the general supposition,
and even the belief of the coroner him
self, the man came to his death from
natural causes. The story, however, is
an interesting one.
Ten days ago John Hilbert made his
appearance at Fort Laramie seeking en-
ployment. A wood contractor gave the
man work, and he at once shouldered an
ak and Joined a gang of choppers in the
hills about fourteen miles northeast of
the post.
Hilbert, while not surly and in fact
rather companionable, seemed to be
breeding over something, and when work
ing would invariably operate at some dis
lance from the other woodmen. On the
day Of his death he was Telling trees in a
ravine about a mile from the grove in
which the camp was situated and near
which his fellow toilers were laboring.
While chopping he broke an ak handle
and fastened to the camp to replace it.
His faithfulness to his employers was the
cause of his untimely death. Hilbert
repaired the broken instrument and
started for his retreat. The unfortunate
man never reached the tree he was cutting
when the ak handle broke.
On missing Hilbert as supper time his
companions instituted a search for the
man. Near the spot where the sounds of
his sturdy blows had been heard through
out the day they came upon his body. He
had fallen upon a hill side, face down,
with his head toward the ravine.
The body was at once conveyed to Fort
Laramie and held to await the arrival of
the coroner.
1t took but a few minutes for the cor
oner's Jury to hear the evidence and form
a verdict. The post surgeon, who made
an examination of the remains, gave it as
his opinion that an apopletic fit had caused
Hilbert's death, and a verdict to this
effect was returned by the jury. The
surgeon stated that but for the dead mans
a%verseness to companionship while at work
he would still be alive. When Hilbert
fell the head was lower than the remain
der of the body and the blood rushed to
that member, producing fatal results.
Had some one changed his position and
dashed water in his face he would have
been saved, but the man was fated to die
alone.
Hilbert leaves a wife and four children
in straitened circumstances at Miniature,
Cheyenne county, Neb. This fact was
learned through the medium of THE
LEADER. When the finding of the body
was announced in this journal the other
day it was coupled with the statement
that nothing was known of the deceased.
A Sydney subscriber who saw the item at
once wired Coroner Chaffin at Fort Lara
mic, telling him of Hilbert's family and
their whereabouts.

There IS considerable talk anon"
democrats throughout Wisconsin of
making the Hon. EnoS Eastman, of
Plymouth, Shebovgan county, the party
candidate for governor next fall. The
Plymouth Reporter, which has a fac
uIty of supporting only the most suit
able men for public positions, is
strongly in favor Of nominating Mr..
Eastman. The Reporter says:
Mr.. Eastman, as is well known,
possesses very clever capabilities for
position, and his fealty to the party is
guaranteed by years of Jealous service,
and if the nomination is to be given
to the farmers better or worthier rep
reSentatiye of the agricultural classes
could not be selected. His nomination
would bring honor to the party, con
tribute materially to strengthen the
cause Of tariff reform throughout the
state, encourage victory and perhaps
secure success. The only time in years
that the democrats have carried the
state was with a farmer candidate.
No other class of citizens are more
jealous Of their rights, or quicker to
respond to recognition, and the nom
ination Of d practical and represent
alive farmer like Mr.. Eastman, would
unQueStionably be one of the SureSt
steps the party could take to promote
success. Wisconsin is fairly doubt
full state to-day, as Republican anx-
iety as to the outcome bears ample
evidence. The sentiment of a large
majority of the people of the state is
opposed to the continuance of a robber
tariff, which taxes and impOyeriSheS
the many to enrich the few; and though
possibly Cleveland may be again elected
without the state, still if the friends
of tariff reform can be massed under
one banner the state can be carried /
and its votes counted to insure a CON
tinuance of the wise and economical |
administration of the past four years, !
and to secure a sorely needed readiust- |
ment Of the tariff. To guard against |
uncertainties every precautiOn should |
be taken, and the nomination of a
farmer candidate affords the best /
means of carrying the state for CIeve-
land and tariff reform, and to this end /
no more popular candidate can be .
chosen to head the Democratic ticket |
than our own felloW-toWnsman, Hon !

destroy the home than all the evils of
the world besides 1t declares in favor
of free whiskey, if need be to reduce
the surplus so as not to relax the
clutch Of the manufacturers upon the
threats of the people. For time a
tariff tax answered this purpose fully
and alone. But for some time the
capacity of this country to produce
has exceeded its power to consume,
and the unreasonable profits of man
ufacturers were endangered through
home competition. When this danger
appeared the manufacturers promptly
re-enforced the tariff by the trust.
These two mighty powers now dom
mate the markets of this country.
One is stationed at our ports TO guard
against supplies from other lands
while the other dictates the condition
Of production and prices in this land
Of freedom and plenty.
These are the powers which the Re
publican party declares must not be
molested and in order to avoid dis
turbing them it would invite the
American people to drown their suf-
ferings under the tariff and trust with
free whiskey which they agree to sup
ply as nearly as possible without
money and without price. This is the
question presented by the platforms
now before the people. l regret that
this general statement of it has
reached the reasonable limit of one
article. But with your permission |
should like to present to your readers
some of the secondary questions in
yolyed in it. Especially its relation to
wages which now remain the own
and only support of the tariff and
trust policy of the Republican party.
The sham of their claim that tariff
taxes are for the protection of labor is
only equaled By its shame. But of
this at another time.

who then represented this district,
said:
u think | know something Of the
popular sentiment in the great north
west Ii ASKS for that substantial
reduction Of taxation upon the articles
Of every day use in every humble
home, that the tariff commission and
the last congress promised and pre-
tended to give, but which has not
come. In my Judgment, if YOU will
give this substantial reduction Of tax
alton, if you will also add to the free
list generously. if you will give to our
people free salt, free sugar, free coal,
free lumber. there Will be no wailing
or crashing of teeth because whiskey
pays tax.
The present representative of the
the third Wisconsin district. Hon. Il.
NJ. IaFonette, will doubtless meekly
follow his party leaders, and work and
vote rs though free tobacco and cigars,
free whiskey, and free oleomargerine,
constituted the hearts desire of his
constituents.
