LACED 4, who disappeared from his
home near Kelly Monday, was found
under a windfall in swamp two miles
from his home, the little fellow having
died of exposure, hunger and fatigue.
When the report was received here last
night that the boy was lost in the
woods and that the $50 searchers had
failed to find him after 80 hours eff
fort, further steps were taken to send
assistance.
The shaft of the soldiers monument
to be erected in Kenosha was hoisted
into position. 1t was no easy task to
lift the twenty tons of solid granite to
the pedestal. The hosting began in
the presence of several hundred per-
sons, and for more than three hours
the ropes strained and groaned while
the spectators hazarded conjectures on
the result of possible accident. The
granite figure of Winged Victory has
arrived. The statue will be Ii feet
high.

Madison. Nov. Is.

Madison, Nov. 10.
Charles Trindle was shot to death
by Len Scofield within a hundred feet
of his own barn at the edge of the vii
lage of Token Creek, Burke township,
9 miles northeast of Madison, at
quarter after 10 o'clock Tuesday night,
the murderer escaping into the sur
rounding country. The men, accom-
panied by Jean Miller, farm hand in
Trindle's employ, had spent the after
noon together at Sun Prairie and are
said to have drank a quantity Of liquor.
They returned to Token Creek at 10
o'clock in the night and stopped at the
store kept by Postmaster Paskarbeit.
Trindle and Miller drove on to Trim
dies barn, short distance away, and
Scofeld, after a quarter Of an hour,
followed and called Trindle, who was
assisting Miller to stable the horses,
out into the road, pretending to desire
to speak with him on private business.
Miller is said to have heard Scofield
say:
"Charlie, you have always been a
friend of mine, haven't you?"
Then came the report of ScOfield's
revolver and Trindle fell in his tracks.
Scofield fed and when Miller reached
Trindle he found his employer dead.
IT, ,4o Do sfniI
there was no known motive for the
crime, as Scofield, while bearing a
rather hard name, was known to be
very friendly with Trindle and the
three men, when they parted at the
store after their return from Sun Prai-
RE, were laughing and joking. Neither
was drunk, although they had drank
considerable at Sun Prairie. SEQ
field, who is 20 years old, had
formerly lived at Sun Prairie but had
removed to Token Creek in October Of
1898 and was employed as laborer by
one farmer or another ana at odd jobs
He has a wife and two children. Trim
die was the only son of his widowed
mother and ran the old Trindle farm
for her at the edge of the village. He
was a quiet, Industrious young man of
80, unmarried.
The village was thrown into the
greatest excitement by the tragedy but,
although practically all of the male
population collected at the postoff1ce,
no one was bold enough to follow SEQ
field or to ascertain whether or not he
was at his home, near the scene of the
shooting, or hiding in one of the build
ings of the farms. Neither did any Of
them attempt to remove the body from
the road, they seeming to consider
that there was nothing for them to do
but await the coming of the sheriff
and the coroner, who had been notified
at late hour by telephone.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Kanouse left
for Token Creek near midnight and
was followed by Coroner Lynch and
Deputy Sheriff Burmeister.
LATER: Kanouse phones
that he now has the murderer lodged
in the county Jail. No resistance was
offered when found at his home.

who were kept at respectful distance

BIG BLACK HILLS FIRE.

Golden Reward Snelter at Dead
wood Destroyed by Flames.
Deadwood, S. D.: Fire broke out in the
coal bins of the large Golden Reward
chlorination works in this city at Q o'clock
Monday morning. and at noon nothing but
smoulderng debris remained of the great
plant. 1t is supposed that burning cinders
from a locomotive set fire to the Goa, in the
bins. The fire companies from the city
responded, but owing to scarcity Of water
and the infammahle nature of the build
ing. the fire had made great headway. In
one hour most, of the buildings were re-
duced to ashes.
The Golden Reward chlorination plant
was valued at about $l50,O0O, and the in
surance amounted to 900, held by about
thirty different companies. 1t throws
about 225 men out of employment in the
plant aud mines.

morning, Saturday, the S0th.
While your letter seems to indicate that
the battalion Of the Olympia would lead in
the land parade still am in doubt. 1t
would be qualification to me and the
officers and men of the Olympia should
the Olympia's battalion of about $50 men
be placed at the head Of the column. In
reference to the smoker it is proposed to
give to the men, that is matter coming
within the province of the captain of the
ship, but have little doubt that ne would
be pleased to accept for them. am much

careful arrangements to spare me any un
necessary fatigue.

He proceeded to. say The Hague confer

He said that it was mot the armed saw
