Samuel L. McCord, one of the Oldest
citizens of Lincoln, was found deed in Il
corn field three miles west of the city. He
went hunting Saturday and had not been
seen since. There were no marks of vio-

down to rest, became numb and was frozen
to death.

in the northwest part Of Faulk county, was
frozen to death on the night OF Jan. IA.
He was in Seneca on business on that day
and started for home, about ten miles dis

was found on Friday lying in the snow not
more than twenty feet from the roadside
and three miles distant from his home.

parentage, has been married about two
years and leaves wife and one child to

Of 49, mysteriously disappeared from
Cheyenne. \ young stockman, named
NIcCo..-5 went away the same time and as

A Baltimore Paper starts a Sensation on
the Matter.
4 secent issue of Baltimore paper con-
ta.ns story about Robert Garrett that
has set the town agog. 1t says that the
ex-president of the Baltimore & Ohio is
held under unnecessary restraint and is
practically prisoner in his own house,
and then continues: He has with him two
muscular male nurses accustomed to deal
ing with demented persons, or with those
who, from interested motives, are consld-
ered such, and under the eyes OF one Of
these MIR. Garrett passes his days and
nights. OF course, it is scarcely probable
thst Mr.. Garrett is subjected to the horrors
of lunatic asylum or q prison, but resting
under the suspicion of insanity the slightest
act is construed to mean phase of the
disease and treated accordingly. Recently
Mrs. Garrett asked her husband to drive
into town from the uplands. What, was
the response, "to be watched like pick
pocket, to be bounded like thief by one
OF your hirellngs?" In the post that he
occupies at present, even supposing him to
be perfectly sane, Mr.. Garrett knows that
he Is absolutely power]ess. What motive
could there be to keep sane man watched
and guarded as a lunatic? What motive
may there not be to hold in subsection %
man with millions? Who knows? And in
this case, outside of the persons most
closely interested, who cares? Has Mr..
Garrett a dozen friends in Baltimore who
would care to have thorough inquiry
made into his condition?
