fact that the general officers at st. Paul,

cause they accepted the management OF

Judge Hanford refused to appoint the

BODY BURNED TO ASHES
A Bolt of Lightning Kills Joseph G.
Mitchell and Consumes Him
and His Wagon.
ONLY a Few Bones and IrOnWOrk Of
the Wagon Left to Tell
the Story.

A special dispatch received by TIL
TRIBUNE and published in Fridays
issue, told Of the discovery of a man and
| the romans of a team loaded with poles
On the Riceville road, about eigh,
miles from this place, the wagon
and load burned up and the mar
and horses killed, apparently by
lightning. Deputy Coroner Fitzgerald
| and a party at once started out to inves.
tigate the matter with tho man who
brought the news to town. The party
returned Friday to Belt, where an in.
| quest was held over the remains. The
| story developed at the inquest is Il
| strange me-. When the party reached
the place described they found little but
a pile Of ashes and three dead horses,
partially burned and roasted. Among
the ashes were the bones of q
man partially consumed. The wagon
was completely burned up, nothing be-
ing left but the iron work. The wagon
was evidently loaded with poles and
and these also we're mostly consumed.
The horses lay in the road, all three
dead, and the portion of their bodice
next the load burned and roasted more
or lees, IL was some time before it was
learned who tho victim Of the awful
tragedy which had been enacted
was. 1t was finally learned that
the few bones represented all that
was left of the body Of Joseph
c. Mitchell, a young mar who has been
employed by a ranchor living on tho hill
about two miles from Belt, named
Edwards. lie was bringing q load of
poles about 20 feet long from the Tiger
Butte district to tho ranch whore he
was employed and bad reached a point
On the Hiceville road about S miles from
Belt when the fatal bolt of electric fluid
struck him. The three horsee we're
hitchod abreast of each other. The
bolt must have been Il powerful one to
kill all three OF the horses and tho man
at the same time and then set the wagon
and load on fire, 1t is probable that the
accident occurred about an hour or an
hour and d half before the body was dis
covered by u passing team, as about that
time there was a heavy thunder storm
passing over that country.

Marshal Gucrin was wild Monday
morning when he discovered that Law.
renee Olive, the iailbird who stole Sam
Mcrritt's diamonds and cash, had spread
his wings and flown. 1t appears that he
got out Saturday night and was never
missed till Monday morning. Saturday
night a prisoner was arrested and, lust
as they were putting him in tho Jail, he
made a break for liberty and ran out of
the jail. lie vas pursued by the off
GERS and caught, but meantime Olive,
finding the cage door open, made a quiet
sneak and was never noticed. The mar
ehal, as soon as he discovered the fact
Of his being gone, Monday, telegraphed
in all directions, but Olive has not been
found and he is u~nconsolable. This is
the first prisoner who has escaped from
the city jail since Marshal Guerin has
been in office and he wants to find him
very bad, but Olive is a slick boy and,
as he had a long start, it is not likely
that he will be found.
