Sioux City, June 13.-George Puck,
till recently a resident of Sioux City,
son of James Puck, proprietor of the
Davenport hotel, and George Ostrander,
a former resident of Climbing Hill. this
county, were shot in bed by unknown
assailants in Puck's lonely cabin on his
ranch near White Owl, S. D., last Tues
day night The news came to Mr.
Puck's family in meager telegram
yesterday morning from William Hor-
locher. who lives three miles from Puck
and is his nearest neighbor The tele-
gram was sent from Sturgis, S. d., the
nearest railroad town. Mr.. Horlocher
stated the coroner had been notified.
and asked what should be done with the
body.
A. f. Puck. brother, wired to send the
body to Sioux City at once, and eX-
pected to leave last night for Stursis.
In the absence of details, the mem
bers of the Puck family are at a loss to
explain the strange murder of the two
men.
I'VE can only imagine they were
killed by highwaymen," said A. f. Puck.
1T is probable robbers broke into their
house and killed them. 1t is strange.
George never thought 1t was dangerous
out there"
George Puck left Sioux City year
and a month ago and took claim ten
miles west of White Owl. He built Il
house sixteen feet square, then added
sheds and water dam. He took with
him George Ostrander, who had lived
at Climbing Hill with his father, and
whose brother law, William III. DIN,
IS engineer at the Reinhart flats. The
two men lived alone.
Last Sunday James Puck received a
letter from his son, in which he said
he had about 600 acres fenced up, that
he had recovered his lost horses and
wanted soon 100 more cattle. A. f..
Puck expected to leave soon with the
cattle.
The country about the ranch is wild
and comparatively unsettled. Ranch
men are usually from five to ten miles
apart, and, with the nearest neighbor
three miles away, it was easy for rob-
bers to make away with them men.
Puck was not in the habit of keeping
money in his old home doing his
banking at Rapid City, so 1t would seem
the robbery was not preconceived.
The relatives of George Puck here arN
James Puck father; A. f. TICK, broth
err; Lenora, Mabel and Ada Puck and
Mrs M. l.. Finn, sisters.
George Puck was % years old and
had lived in Sioux City all his life be-
fore going to South Dakota.

There are good dogs, cats and other

pets everywhere, but a committee
should be established in every town
ship or city ward, to pass on the mer-
ITS of each individual animal. All that
could not show good cause should be
exterminated, and next winter some Of
us would appreciate dog skin over
coat with cat skin mittens, and If nee
essary to express our appreciation,
would wear canary bird feathers in
our hats.

MISSISSIPPI.

1913 miles In length ard about $50 In
breadth, wiiha surface soil exceeding
900 square miles, the great COM
.onwealth OF Mississippi is n OF
lie stars of brightest lustre in the
galaxy Of our Union.
Her rich and productive valleys and
bot TIM. extending along the rivers,
with the fertility Of the hillsides, Ia
bic lands and wide plains have for
nearly a century ranked the State
aiming the wealthiest Ia agricultural
importance, and still entitle her to
hold her own among the foremost Of
our North American Federation.
Almost alone, until OF very recent
years, husbandry, with its paucity OF
support to home commercial success
has engaged a comparatively particu.
lar industrial attention. Times have
changed, however, and instead Of
supplies being furnished, as formerly
to raise crops from the tinarcial
Golfers OF the large cities OF other
States, coeval with the march Of
progress Mississippi's merchants are
enjoying a large share OF the middle
mans" interest and commissions Of
traffic between the producer and con.
sumner.
Within the boundaries OF Mississip.
pi are many lovely features Of the
face Of n%ature-the hills and the
dales, the bluffs on the river Of the
"Great Water" the water courses
that furrow to the Gulf OF Mexico,
the primcval forests yet untouched
by the AK Of man, and above all the SO
miles stretch OF splendid seashore
washed by the waters Of Mississippi
Sound.
Aggregate the forces OF our beloved
State by bringing them together-the
combined capacity will prove a future
consolidation for mutual benefit, and
commerce on land and by sea will de.
vclop. in time, the full resources of
the State.

To His Excellency, A. II. Longino, Gov
ernor OF Mississippi: =.
We, the undersigned, petition your
Excellency to pardon Willie Evans,
who was convicted Of grand larceny at
the November term of the Circuit Court
OF Jackson county and sentenced to two
years in the State Penitentiary.
We assign the following reasons for
asking clemency:
LIST. The extreme youth Of the prison.
err. he being only 8 years old.
ID. The association with hardened
criminals he will necessarily come in
contact with in the penltentiary will
tend to make him more of a criminal
than he Is now.
3d.. Since his confinement he has
shown himself a good and obedient
prisoner, and we believe IL he is pardon
ed before hardened, he will grow up q
good citizen.
Very Respectfully,
WILLIE EVANS.
