all influences that affect that institu:

The President also sentsa message
to tile Senate calling attention to the
laSity OF corporation laws for the
EistrictIof Columbia, and the need OF
Legislation In that connection. He
says: "Tho law governing the for.

The case calls for the most radical
remedy. Tho right Of incorporation

Congress can devise proper lcglslas

FOUND BLEACHING
ON THE PLAINS
REMAINS OF A MAN DISCOVERED
NEAR RED LAKE, LINCOLN
COUNTY.

Word was brought to White Oaks
Sunday night that the body of a man
had been discovered lying on the open
plain in the vicinity of Red Lake.
abont twelve miles from that town.
Early Monday morning a. %coroner's
jury was empanelled by Justice of
the Peace n. b. Thompkins and went
al once TO investigate. Upon arriving
on the ground they found the body
lying neal the road and about two
miles from the lake. From its appear
ance the man had evidently been
dead for several days. He was APP
parentiy a person of about As years
of age, well dressed and of medium
height. BY papers found in the
pockets of his clothing it was learned
that his name was William DOnican
and that his home was either in Wat
ertown or Schenectady, New York.
There was also found a gold watch,
some old and rare coins, a certificate
of membership in the ~bartender's as
ISOLATION at WATERFOWL, second class
railroad ticket from Schenectady. New
York, to San Francisco, and an acct
dent policy for 81, 800. No other arti-
Cles of value were discovered.
Indications are that he had wan
dered about for some time in the i'm
mediate vicinity where his body was
found and had ain down several times
before reaching the point where death
overlook him. II is supposed he had
become demented while travelling
through the country and left the train
at AnchO Station, on the FL Paso q
Southwestern railway in the night.
He evidently wandered about on the
range, which at this point is compare
lively unoccupied, and had persisted
from hunger, thirst and exposure.
The remains were decomposed to
such an extent that the removal of
the body to town was impossible and
1t was buried on the spot. The Bar
tenders association at Watertown,
New York, was notified.
The coroner's jury decided that the
mar died from unknown causes. and
so stated in their verdict.
