still Out of Sight.

Chamberlain, Jan. 15.-All efforts to
unravel the mystery surrounding the
disappearance more than two weeks
ago Of August +. Duclos, a government
teacher at Lower Brule Indian agency,
have thus far rover unsuccessful
Duclos procured a three days leave of
absence, and on Monday, December 2S,
arrived in town from the agency. The
following morning he took the train for
Mitchell, Il distance OF siXty-nine miles,
telling friends that he would be bacs
that night so that he could return to thu
agency on Wednesday. when his leavt
of absence expired. The object of his
visit to Mitchell was to pay a mortgage
IF $500 upon which interest amounting
to $50 or $37 had accumulated. Duclos.
as near as can he ascertained, had a 1t
tie owe 500 in money with him. He
was seen on the train by acquaintance
a short time before arriving at Mitch
ell. but has not been seen since. There
is absolutely no trace of him in Mitch
ell, either AT the hotels or elsewhere.
Some of his friends think that he was
enticed into some Mitchell "dive"by
someon who knew the object of his Wis
1t TO Mitchell and drugged, robbed and
murdered. The belief that he was rob-
bed and murdered is shared by his wife,
who is almost crazed by the strange
disappearance OF her husband. Others
believe hat he is temporarily deranged
and has wandered away, possibly to be
20 an inmate of some hospital or po-
Lee station in Sioux City or Omaha.
The missing man was a prominent Ma
son and members of the lodge at Kim
ball, to which he belonged, are using all
means at their command to ascertain
his fate.

GREAT TEST OF ENDURANCE
Wandering I'm the Blizzard for
Eighteen Hours.

Chamberlain, Jan. IA Ease of re-
markable endurance ana miraculous es-
cape from death during the recent bliz-
card is told here by parties who arrived
from Buffalo county. The details, which
upon investigation are found to be ao-
curate I'm every particular, are to the eff
rect that during the storm Albert
Schmelling, a German farmer who lives
northwest Of Gan Valley, the county
seat, started for his barn accompanied
by a dog, and carrying a pail of corn
In one han a SCOOP shovel in the other.
In the binding storm he missed the
barn. which stands about twenty rods
from the dwelling. and after futile at
tempts to reach the barn or house found
that he was lost on the prairie. Then
ensued an experience that few could
survive. The wanderer soon discovered
that it was utterly impossible to make
any progress against the binding snow
and piercing wind, which stung him al
most 10 madness, and therefore he stun
bled through the storm and permitted
himself 10 be carried with 1t in the hope
that he might reach shelter in the home
Of some settler. His dog followed him
closely for about eighteen hours, as
near as he could Judge, when II sue
cumbed. When the storm had ahated
somewhat Mrs. Schmelling got word Of
her husbands absence 10 Jesse niger
son,t he nearest neighbor, who organ
lied a party and started in quest OF
Schmelling. They naturally thought he
had drifted with the storm toward the
southeast, and hen south OF Gam Val
ley, the storm having now ceased en-
tirely, met him going toward his home.
Schmelling still carried the shovel, and
said 1t certainly saved his life, as dur
ing his wandering he was able, when
partially exhausted, to dig holes in the
snowdrifts and crawl inside until he was
rested. During his wanderings, which
extended oVer a period Of twenty-four
hours. he reached a point fifteen miles
from home before the storm ceased, and
he was enabled to get his bearings and
return to his anxious family. After
there he learned that his cattle had
strayed, and after a brief rest and hur-
ried meal started out and gathered
them together. Before being found his
friends thought there was no question
that he had persisted. and his remark
able escape win be for years referred to
in that region as one OF the most mirac-
ulous on record.

The Farmers Mainstay.

Huron, Jan. 15.-In spite of cold
weather and deep snow business at the
| Huron creamery continues ~good-bet-
ter than the managers anticipated. This
institution is proving very helpful TO
farmers, it being the only means nan
of them have for procuring cash. h
creamery business in this section is no
longer an experiment. SO successful
has this one proved to be hat the
number Of dairy COWS in this immediate
vicinity has been more than doubled
during the past eighteen months; the
the increase during the coming season
will exceed that of last year. The de
.nand for goood dairy COWS was never
so great here as now nor have prices
ever been better. The demand for
creamery butter exceeds the supply, and
and the profit from the output of cream
cries is always greater in winter than
summer. Milk does not u easily, it
reaches the factory in the very best con
dition, less time Is required In producing
butter and 40 ice is necessary for cool
ing purposes, and the price of butter is
always greater In winter than in sum-
mer. Creamerles all over this part Of
the state are gratified with their bust
ness thus far this winter, many Of
them not having experienced a dull
week OF business.
