Cannibaiism in a Western Camp.

4 horrible discovery has been made
il the mountains of South Dakota, about
ten miles from the border, which indi-
Gates that a party of lost people have
been driven to the dire extremity Of
feeding upon each other.
In a deep canyon, where the camp
was sheltered from the storms, there
were found the remains Of O camp, and
at the fire, in the ashes, were several
bones and pieces of human body which
had been cooked and partly eaten.
There had evidently been five or six in
the party and three of them had been
killed to furnish food for the others, for
there We're three skulls found, and from
their size it is evident that all of them
were those of women or children, for
they were much smaller than the skull
Of a man. The bones of the legs and
arms were found, and to one leg bone
there was still a quantity Of cooked
flesh hanging. The survivors had evil
IDENTIFY got some other meat and left the
undevoured part Of the last victim in
the fire, with the intention of burning
it up, but the fire was put out by a
storm and discovery thus made possible.
1t is believed that the party originally
consisted Of two men, two women and a
boy, and that they passed through this
place last fall on their way to the west.
If such was the case the men have sac
rificed their companions in the attempt
at self preservation and are now alive.
It is. understood that the authorities of
South Dakota will make searching in
yestigation and see if they can find out
the survivors of the terrible deed.-Cor.

Last Saturday two hunters from Clear
field who were out in the wild8 Of the
Alleghanies found dead man in Andy
Reese's camp on Boon's mountain. The
dead mans name was John Gilland,
and for several years he had lived alone
there in the mountain businesses with
no companion but his dog save when 4
hunting party would locate at the camp
for short season. For months at a
time he never saw civilization, living
exclusively on the game and fish he
could shoot and catch,
For a long time he lived in hut made
Of bark, fashioned like an Indian tepee.
He wandered over the mountain with
dog and gun, and seemed to enjoy his
solitary existence, When found it was
evident that he had been dead several
days, perhaps weeks, and the gaunt and
emaciated form of his faithful dog was
by his side, almost dead from starvation.
And he would no doubt have remained
there and died by the side of his dead
master and never dreamed Of deserving
his post. Dogs sometimes do things
that make us ashamed of our humanity.
The body was taken to Clearfeld and
buried on Monday. 1t Is presumed tina
the man died of pneumonia or some kin
dred disease, as he had pulmonary
trouble. Spirit.

The Grain Investigation Committee Cam
net Compel Witnesses to Answer.
ST, PAUL, March 1.-THE final days
Of the tedious wheat investigation are
not so harmonious, and peaceful as
those of former sessions, and from all
appearances there will be very little
accomplished during the remainder OF
the investigation. The authority of the
committee to pry into the source of tho
ironclad price lists which the Grain
Growers association claims were issued
daily to the country elevators has been
denied by the witnesses, and the COM
mittee finds itself in the predieament of
being unable to do anything. The mem
bers of this committee, appointed
under special law to inyesti:
gate into certain matters pertaining
to the states welfare, have shown dis
position to render freer Interpretation
of the law than some are willing to con.
cede, believing that 1t was the intention
of the legislature to investigate thor
oughly the wheat industry In Mime
sofa, and detect any influences which
may have existed TO the detriment of
the best interests Of the grain growers.
The restrictions of the law confined the
committees investigation to the ques-
whether any wheat had been shipped

frightened them and they returned.
Five of the ten men refused to go down
iagain as the mine was flooding rapidly,
they said, and the loosened sides of the
shaft threatened to fall in and bury
them. The others made the second trip
and reached the mouth of the second
gallery They found few men who
were nearest the shaft when the first
explosion occurred. These miners had
run for their lives but had been caught
at the entrance by falling timbers.
All had broken bones, and three
were SO firmly lodged in the
wreck that the rescuing party dared
not wait to extricate them. Five of the
wounded We're brought up ON the Sec
ond trip and two others and five dead
We're brought up on the third trip.
Aid Donated by King Leopold.
| King Leopold has contributed 5000
francs from his private purse to the
temporary support of the families of
miners already known to have been
killed. Hundreds of men and women
from near by villages have gathered
near the mouth of the pit and are camp
| ing around bonfres watching the pro-
gress Of the work of rescue Families
and relatives of the 200 or more men
still e1itombed have made their homes
in the fields for the night and are cook
ing their meals over open air fires so as
to get the earliest news from those i'm
prisoned by the shattered shaft.
Two Hundred Still Entoubed.
The rescued men say that twenty-five
Of the miners still imprisoned are
women. There are about 200 in all still
| TO be accounted for. 1t is thought that
those nearest the first cave-in in the gal
lery may be rescued alive. Those fur
Ithest from the entrance of the gallery
have probably been suffocated before
this and if not will die before they can
be reached. The dead will number at
least 100 and probably $50.
| The work has been set back twice by
the caving of great blocks of soil and
stone from the sides of the wrecked
shaft, and since the third trip no volun-
teers for the work of rescue could be
found. The superintendent of the mine
has twice gone down 200 feet, but has
returned saying that the chances would
be four to one against him if he went
lower.

out of tie Duluth, or any oTner elevator

to questions respecting the weighing
and inspection of grain. Very early in
the investigation the question was
raised whether the committee had any
authority to go beyond these bounda-
ries, but as no objections were entered
the committee cut free from all bounds
and searched every nook and cor
ner where any information might be
CLEANED shedding light upon the great
questions at issue. Imagine their sur
prise when Minneapolis elevator man
denied their authority to go into con-
tract between him and certain Mr..
Wolcott, of Larimore, N. D., respecting
services which the latter was to render
to the Minneapolis and Northern Eleva.
tor company in the purchasing of grain.
Objections Of the witness attorney were
sustained, and all testimony taken in
regard to the Wolcott contract was Or
dered stricken from the records. The
committees right to investigate prices
was also denied, and the witness refused
to give the information sought. The
committee is without any power to pro-

which the committee receives upon this
question will be voluntary

FUSION A CERTAINTY.

Kansas Dem ocrats and the Peoples Party
Agree on a Combination.
Topeka, Kan, March 15.-Ex- Cover
nor George w. Click, of Atchison, in
an interview here stated that the Demo-
Gratis and the Peoples Party state CEN
trail committees had arrived at an I'M
derstanding and that the combination
between the two parties was now a GER
tainty. "There will only be two tickets
in the field" said Governor Click, "and
the combination has been so affected
that the Democrats will certainly get
three congressman from this state. The
Peoples Party committee recognized
that there was no chance for them in
the First and Second congressional dis
tricts and will give us both. The DEM
ocrats will support the Peoples elector-
al ticket and in exchange the Peoples
Party will give US the congressman at
large and two places on the state
ticket. The combination is good poll
tics, for the Peoples Party could not
expect to make clean sweep of the
state" Governor Clicks statement is
the first authoritive announcement of
the result.
