DEADWOOD CRIMES.
SOUTH DAKOTA CITY STIRRED BY
RECENT EVENTS.
w. II. Ward, Now Under Arrest, Charged
with Many Murders-Kirk and Lee
She phard, Brothers, Aged Is and go,
Alleged to Be His Most Recent Victims.
lDeadwood Letter.l


The story of the Ward murders, that
have been perpetrated near Puma, a
town three miles from Deadwood, is a
ghastly tale w. H. Ward, who is now
closely watched in an iron cage in the
Deadwood Jail, is unquestionably a
murderer at heart. How many deeds
he will have to answer for will prob
ably never be known Whether he is
crazy and committed his crimes under
a spell of insanity will be determined
at his coming trial.
Two Brothers Missing.
Some eight weeks ago two brothers
named Kirk and Lee Sheppard, who
resided with their mother near Puma,
suddenly disappeared. Kirk was 16,
and Lee was 20 years old. There was a
third brother named Harley, aged 1S-
Harley had been adopted by W. H.
Ward, Familiarity known as "Beachers." "
As Harley grew older he grew tired of
Wards place. This is supposed to have
commenced the trouble between Ward
and the other brothers. When Ward
found out that Lee Sheppard was ad-
vising his youngest brother, Harley, to
quit the old man and come back to
his own home to live, it is supposed
that Ward Immediately began to lay
plans for the determination of both of
the brothers. At any rate Lee and
Kirk suddenly disappeared, and a few
days later, when the searching parties
got pretty close, Ward disappeared too
Things got very interesting when, a
few days later, one of the searching
parties unearthed the decomposed body
of a man, which tailed in every way
with that of Lee Sheppard, one of the
missing brothers. The body was found
in an old water ditch, covered over
with about two feet of dirt and some
willow brush The body was beyond
recognition, a quantity of quick lime
having been placed beneath and on top
of the body to hasten the decomposi-
ition. The body was dressed in a suit
of underclothes and the hair on the
head was red, which correspondent with
that of Lee Sheppard.
Unearthing q Body.
When the body was unearthed there
was the greatest excitement in the old
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1901-10-26

town of DeadWOOd and at Lead ana
the entire population turned out to
hunt for the man who was suspected
of committing the crime Hundreds OF
people went over the little garden
patch with iron bars, thrusting them
down foot or more, in hopes of strik-
ing the soft burial place of the second
brother. who was still missing. But
Ward had made good his escape. The
searching parties went through the OLD
mans house, peeked into every old
we'll and tunnel for a mile around the
place, plowed the potato garden and
tore up the rotting floor. They found
every day some clue. not only to the
crime of the murder of Lee Sheppard,
whose body had been unearthed, but
to other murders that are believed to
have been committed by him.
All of the clothes worn by Lee Shop
hard were found in the house, except
ing a suit of underclothes, which were
on the dead body when found. In an
old barrel, wrapped in a dirty cloth,
was also discovered the suit of clothes
last worn by Kirk SHEPPARD, the sec
ond missing brother. But where the
body of Kirk had been laid by Ward
is still mystery Bones were found a
few days ago in a natural cave near
the house, and sack of fish and bones
was dug up in the garden, but the
coroner. has thus far been unable to
tell for certainty whether they are
human or animal Some of the bones
found in the cave looked like the arm
and leg bones of a man. The sack OF
flesh is claimed by a brother of Ward
to have been buried where it was
found by butcher from Deadwood-
Capture of Ward.
Ward was captured near the DEVILS
tower, so miles northwest of Dead
wood. He had gone there to look after
a ranch, so he states, which he owned
in part with another man. He was
found asleep in the bushes early in the
morning and was taken without any
resistance. He feigned surprise at be-
ing taken into custody He stated that
he had not read any of the newspapers
containing reports of his disappearance
and that of the Sheppard brothers. and
he did not see why he should be taken
to Jail.
Ward went tothe Black Hills about
IA years ago. He built house at the
mouth of Little Strawberry gulch.

In so far as our present trusts depend
upon public or private privileges and
favors there can certainly be no ex-
cuse for delay If the largest of all
trusts is exacting monopoly charges
from domestic consumers. and selling
its products in foreign markets at
lower rates-and who can doubt that
this is the case2-we have only our
selves to blame il we fail to apply the
simple remedy of placing iron and steel
upon the free list. And this trust is
only one of many, the powers of which
could be curbed by this course of ac-
ton If railroad rates are so manipu-
lated that they sometimes favor the
localities in which the plants owned
by trusts are situated-and what dis
interested student can deny this why
should We hesitate, in season and out
of season, to agitate the question of
the control of the national highways?
If patent laws are another reliance of
the trusts, why should we hesitate to
throw open to general use, in return
for a reasonable compensation, every
patent that is employed hereafter for
monopolistic ends2 These remedies
would at least moderate the exactions
of many of the trusts-Atlantic

What He Has Missed.

The young bachelor member Of tie
faculty Of Northwestern University who
told his class that he had, among other
self denials, "never kissed woman."
tempted the rejoinder which all of the
students, no doubt, had in rind and
which one of them uttered:
"You don't know what yol We missed,
Professor"
"Perhaps not" was the medtative
reply of the totul abstainer from some
Of the things that make lie best worth
liying-to most people.
There is no "perhaps" in this Gaze.
"Sure!" Is the word.
An "athletic and erudlte" chap of
thirty-seyen whose "lips have never
known woman kiss" might very we'll
be asked what he was made man for.
Does not athleticism imply red blood?
and how can a man be called "erudite"
who knows nothing of the art Of love:
Jonathan Swift did indeed e1caim:
Word | wonder what fool it was
that first invented kissing" But the
folly having been invented-rrobably
by Mother Eve-the great majority of
young people prefer it to the finest
wisdom.
Kissing after tLirty-seven is not quite
the same thing as osculation of the sort
that Shakespeare had in mind in the
invitation: "Come and kiss me, sweet
and-twentyw Yet this bachelor pro-
fessor would get an inkling OF what he
has missed if he would begin kissing

For convenience time Is, by his
torians, usually divided into three
great ras-ancient, mediTval Tor mid
dle) and modern. The ancient period
Is considered to extend from the earll-
est times down to the fall Of the Ro-
man empire In the west In \. ID. 4I6;
the mclinval from that date to the
discovery OF America by Columbus In
1902 and the modern from that time to
the present. Some historians prefer to
put the end of the medlrval period Mt
the capture OF COnstantinoplc by the
Turks, about ~ years earlier than the
Columbus event. The dark ages are
often held to be coeval with the me-
dlnval era. but some authorities think
that the term should be applied only
to the part of the era extending from
the downfall Of the empire of Charlie
mngne, In the ninth century. onward.
