Miller, S. D., Nov. 4.-The dead body of e.
NJ. Todd who disappeared from his farm fifteen
miles northeast of here about three weeks ago.
was today found by deputy sherifs buried be-
meath a light covering Of dust, near an clubhouse
on his land. Two buletholes in his breast ana
head that badly battered, the work haV-
ing probably been done with pick, told OF the
murder that committed some time ago.
The discovery of the body will now lead to an
exhaustive search for Jacob Johnson, a bachelor
who formerly lived Todds farm and who
also disappeared some weeks ago. 1t is the
opinion that johnson, If alive, knows something
OF the crime; but it is also limited that ne. roo
may have been the victim of a murder at the
time Todd was killed, the motive suggested be-
ing robbery. -. ~
Both Of the men were possessed of money and
stock. The property of both disappeared at
the time they were missed, and this leads 10
the theory of double murder by robbers, altho
many believe that johnson killed Todd and made
his getaway with the possessions of BOTH
