believed may be William Akey, the Luz

He was found lying by the side Of the
Milwaukee railroad track three miles
north of Utica, s. D., Saturday morning,
with two frightful gashes in his head.
The description answers that of Akey
very closely. and Chief Davenport be-
lieves the murdered man was Akey.

Akey this morning asking for a photo

sent to the authorities at Yankton in an

The plan is put forth in detail in the
following letter directed to each em-
ploye:
TO OUR EMPLOYEES.
Appreciating the fact that successful
growth of any manufacturing enter
prise depends to large extent upon
the united co-operation Of its employees,
we have decided to share 25 percent of
the profits OF our glove factory and
tannery for 1903 with our employees
after allowing 10 per cent for moneys
and carital used in the business-one
18th of this sum to be allotted to fore
men in different departments. No one
shall be allowed to share in the pro-
fits Until he has been employed con-
tinuously for one year, and any one
discharged or leaving our employ be-
fore the end of the year shall sur
render his share.
The profits shall be apportioned at
the end of the year according to the
total wages received during the year.
Furthermore from this share of the
profits sum not to exceed one-fourth
OF the amount shall be set apart for
the establishment of fund for the
protection of the employees against
sickness and accident. The regulations
for the investment of this fund to be
decided upon later-the disbursement
of the benefits to be made thru COM
mittee of the employees. Yours very
truly, Morrison, Mcintosh & Co.
| The Morrison glove company is one
of the largest glove factories in the
west and stands almost alone as max
ers OF fine gloves. The head of the

Were his own children and the morale
Iof the institution has been kept in en-

It Is but a step in the evolution OF the

fit sharing feature.

LEFT THEIR CATTLE.
crazed With Thirst the Kline Tell of
An Abandoned Farm.

Spencer. Jan. ia very unusual in
cident is reported from Waterford
tho first of the week. A young man by
the name of Perry, lives on his
fathers farm on section one of that
township and had living with him an
other young man whose name we ala
not learn. They lived together. and
we're their own housekeepers, and car
ried on farming operations, having
horses cattle and other stock. The first
Inning that attracted the neighbors In
tho affair was the unusual believing
and lowing of the cattle. An fnvesti-
cation disclosed that neither Perry or
his companion We're on the place and
the stock was furnishing for want OF
food and water. One horse and one
mule were found dead, but some think
that the horse died while the men were
st;u on the farm. What has become
OF Mr.. Perry and his companion is
the perplexing question. 1t would be
very unusual circumstance for man
situated as Perry was to abandon his
nronerty and leave his domestic ami
mails to perish for want of care. No :
body but an insane man would commit
such an act, and the disappearance of
both Perry and his companion height
ems the mystery. Developments are
awaited with deep interest.

CORNER STONE LAID.
Ceremony in Connection With New

Iowa City, Jan. 16.-The corner stone
OF the medical anatomy building was
laid today by DR. j. G. Shrader emer-
titus professor or obstetrics and the first
dean of the medical college of the
University Of Iowa. The building IS
the first OF the new medical buildings
being erected by the state on the new
east quadrangle of the university
campus. Two other buildings viii be
erected at the same time as the medical
anatomy building and all will be ready
for occupancy next September.
DR.. Shrader in his remarks on the
laying OF the corner stone said that
the laying of the first stone of the new
building was like the rebuilding of the
walls of the temple at Jerusalem to
him. He congratulated the university
and state on the three buildings that
would take the place of the burned
medical building in which he had
taught his classes.

business of the firm is heavy, but Judge
Hedges considered tie call from his
partner so urgent that he dropped
everything and went to Chicago during
the night. In fact he did not have time
to notify some of his clisnts that action
would be delayed. This speedy depart
ure of Captain Rumple's partner is
taken to indicate the seriousness of the

by a train crew. His hat was gone
and one of his shoes was off. His
pockets had been rided. The men
picked up the corpse and brought 1t to
Yaikton, where the coroner held 1T un-
Ill yesterday. and having failed to To-
cate relatives, had it inferred.
Tramps May Have Killed Him.
The same morning that the body was
found, the section men who work out
of Utica found the mans cap two miles
north of where the body was found. The
shoe was also found later forty feet
from where the body was discovered.
1t is believed by Chief Davenport that
the man had been riding in a freight
car, possibly with tramps who had dis
covered that Akey had $500 IN his
pockets. They had killed him and TAX
en- off his shoe to see whether any more
money was concealed in that article.
After throwing out the BODY they
doubtless later found the cap in the car
and tossed it out.
1t has been ascertained that Akey left
Luton on freight train Friday night.
according to the time that the body
was found it is thought that he would
about have time to get that far on the
same train from which he left home.
The fact that Akey was reported as
having been seen at Morningside Sat
urday, where he rented farm is the
only link which makes the chain in
complete. Chief Davenport this after
noon stated that he will INVESTIGATES the
story as told by ]. A. Waddell, of Morn
ingside, as it is possible the latter may
have been mistaken regarding the date
that Akey called upon him.
Akey left his family after selling all
the household goods and farm ma
chinery unbeknown to his wife.
