found near the track by Frisco section
hands yesterday. The coroner was sum
moned. ,,r
| The body was lying on the south side of
the Frisco track. about one hundred feet
from the west bank of the river.
Some wagon tracks in the road near the
body led TO the theory that the old man
had been murdered but this theory was
exploded as the investigation advanced.
The search of the body revealed sub
scripton paper headed as follows:
To whom it may concern:
The bearer. James Jones, is IS years
old and has worked hard all his life. and
now being unable to work any longer is

A pocket book in his hip pocket con-

ANOTHER pocket was 50 cents in small

His clothing was soaked. indicating that
he had been in the river His hat was

He wore a full beard OF gray whiskers.
He was fairly well dressed, wearing a

PEELED to rent pasture land. He pays
his rent at so much per head of stock.
Last season the charge for cattle was
81 per head. This spring. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the area Of pasture land
is less and the condition of the pasture
the same as a year ago. the price is $
and So % per head of cattle in this county.
This condition has been brought about by
the number of cattle being greatly re-
duced from what the number was year
ago. Much of the land in this county is
reserved for pastures. 1t is well adapted
for that purpose. A year ago the owners
OF these pastures had no trouble in get
ting all of the cattle their lands would
supply with grass. Then the owners OF
cattle had difficulty to find places for
their stock. This spring the owners OF
the pasture lands are experiencing as
great or greater difficulty in finding eat
tie TO feed.
The whole situation is the result of the
Kansas stock feeder being driven out of
business by the high price they have to
pay for feeders, and the low price they
are paid by the packers for fat cattle. In
this county there are fully a score OF
farmers who have made practice in
previous years of fattening n hundred
head or more of cattle every year for the
Kansas City market, who this year staid
out of the business completely Every
ore of them declares that he win never
fatten cattle for the market as long as
conditions remain as they are now. One
Of the leading stockmen of this county
ka1 faa d.x-
1t is doubtful if there is a single stock
feeder in this county who has made clear
81 in the last four years by buying feed
ers' and fattening them for the Kansas
City market. I have made nothing by
that kind of speculation, and l know a
dozen others who have not We have
found that we can get more for our
corn
