SISSEToN. S. d.. Oct. 21.-Great ex.
citement prevails over the finding of the
dead body OF Joseph Shepard. a full.
blooded Sioux Indian. a resident Of Dry
Wood Lake. He was found in an alley
back Of Doyle's butcher shop, and
everything indicates foul play. The
Indians are now being paid off by the
government, and the supposition is that
his assailant supposed he had drawn his
pay and took this means to rob him.

country a boom was capital. To secure
the needed capital Negotiations we're
opened with an English syndicate. In
the presence Of It's representatives tho
mine yielded up tons Of treasure. Hav-
Ing got Il. why was II not workedG
That was the mystery. There were va

explanation that seemed to secure the
most credence was that the English

subject dropped out OF the public mind.
