Mystery in Death-Henry ana lS'ch-
ard Cane, Brothers., Found Dead
Near PactoIa-May Have Fallen
from Wagon While Intoxicated.

A Rapid City special says: There Is
the greatest mystery here -ver the muir
der of Henry and Richard Cane, the TWO
bachelors who lived in Il cabin ABOUT
sixteen miles west of this city. James
Gordon, who lives near Pactola, was on
his way to this city when he found the
two brothers by the roadside dead. lie
first met the team and wagon about TWO
miles from the scene Of the murder.
The brothers had been to this place
the day before for a wagonload OF sup
plies, and it is known that they had
about $3.50 cash between them wheh
they left town. One of the bodies hau
S37.6 go left and the balance had Deeh
taken.
Al the coroner's inquest but little testi-
mony could be taken, for there We're no
witnesses to the crime. 1t is now genef-
ally believed that murder was not the
means of the death, but that they were
either intoxicated and fell out of the
wagon. or that they became angry at
each other, and in their intoxicated con-
dition took each others life. They had a
bottle of whisky, which they drank from
with q neighbor near their own cabin
lust before their death. Both men had
their death injuries on ts@ir faces, and
one of the bodies had been dragged about
twenty feet. The matter is to be thor
cughly investigated and if murder was
accomplished it is expected that evidence
will be found.
At the corOner's inquest over the re-
mains of the two brothers, it was found
that they had sustained a good many
broken bones. one of them having his
neck broken. All the evidence i'll the
case that could be produced showed that
the men were drunk and accidentally fell
out of the wagon. There was considera-
BILE money found on the person of one of
the brothers, so that robbery was not
the intent of their deaths.

is HOcH A BLUEBEARD7
Man is Known to Have Had Thir-
teen Wives.

Information Of more alleged victims Of
the supposed bluebeard, Johann Hoch,
has been given the Chicago police by
John Frick, an employe Of the Nickel
Plate Railroad. Frick has reported TO
the police a charge that his sister, Mrs.
William Schultz, married Hoch, who
then called himself Albert M~uschburg, at
Argos, Ind, in 1900. Mrs. Schultz had
a child named Nettie, then 5 years old.
Shortly after they arrived in Chicago
letters ceased coming to me-" said Frick,
land / am under the belief that my sis
ter and her little girl were done away
with. My sister had about $1,000 at the
time of the marriage"
Mrs. j. III. Schwartzman, Of Milwau-
kee, telegraphed the police that she would
arrive in Chicago Tuesday for the pur-
pose of trying TO identify a photograph
of Hoch as the IA who married her sis
ter in 1899. The woman died shortly
after, leaving $500 to her husband.
Relatives of six Of the thirteen wives
credited to Hoch have expressed a belief
to Police Inspector Shippy that the six
women died of poison. The list of dead
and missing is as follows: Mrs. Marie
Welker Hoch, died Jan. II, 1905; Mrs.
Mary Steinbecker, died in 1894; Mrs.
Mary Becker, st. Louis, died in 1902;
Mrs. Mary Schultz, Argos, Ind, died in
1900, child also disappeared; Mrs. Lena
Hoch, Milwaukee,; Mrs. Sophia Hocn,
Milwaukee.
Acting on the theory that Hoch is the
missing janitor Of the notorious III. III.
Holmes ''castle," the police are using
the same methods to trace Hoch as We're
used in seeking Holmes. The officers be-
lieye Hoch to be a pupil Of Holmes, and
that he will use the same ruses that were
employed by Holmes to escape arrest.
A furniture dealer on Milwaukee Ave
nue. informed the police that he had fur.
nished FIVE different flats for Hoch, each
time under a different name, and that he
had a new wife for every fiat.

ness New York Almost Complete
~ Snowbound-Much Suffering.

Not since the blizzard of 1883, by
which all storms are estimated as great
or small, has New York City been SO
completely ~snowbound as it was We'd
nesday night. The city itself is lying
under a foot of snow that in many places
has been banked by the wind to a height
of several feet. Surface travel early in
the day was abandoned, overhead transit
was irregular and slow, and it remained
for the underground roads to carry home,
so far as they could reach with the city
limits, the hundreds Of thousands of
workers from the downtown districts.
The entire coast line from the Della
ware capes north has been in the grasp
of a storm which, because of the heavy
fall Of snow, intensity of cold and the
force Of the gale, has exceeded in Sc
verify anything experienced in years.
Inland, from Maine, throughout the
New England states and the middle At
iantic states, all records indicate a most
complete winter tieup. Far into the
west there is snow and a remarkably low
temperature.
Everywhere railroad traffic is delayed,
reports Of disasters to shipping are com
ing in, and with the rapidly falling Their
mometer much suffering must ensue. SO
severe was the storm in this city that
even during the day hours several per-
sons were frozen to death or died from
exhaustion.
Wednesday night the hospitals, the po-
lice stations and the houses of refuge
were crowded to their capacity.
Not a vessel Of any kind has sailed
from or arrived in New York in more
than twenty-four hours, and in the port
of Boston only one vessel was reported
arriving, that a coaster.
New York City, always susceptible to
abnormal weather conditions, is facing n
condition unequaled since that of March
seventeen years ago when it was cut off
from the rest of the world by a record
snowfall.
Probably the most distressing tieup re-
sulting from the stalling OF the trains
on the Long Island Railroad was that
witnessed on the Manhattan side of the
Thirty-fourth Street ferry. Hundreds Of
girls and women who live in Long ISL
and and work in Manhattan were unable
to get across the East River, and a vast
majority of them were without the neces-
sary funds to secure food or get lodging.

UPRISING AT MOSCOW.
Scenes at st. Petersburg May Be
Repeated.


st. Petersburg advices state that the
most startling feature in the situation
Monday was the news that several fac
tories in Moscow have closed and the
employees Of the old capital of Russia
are repeating the tactics of their fellow
workmen of the new capital, marching
from shop to shop and from mill to mill
demanding that the establishments be
shut down. The whole city is reported
to be in a state Of great excitement over
the news of the bloodshed at st. Peters
burg Sunday and this precipitated the
strike that had been planned for We'd
nesday.
Moscow has more workmen and less
troops han st. Petersburg, and besides
is just now the heart of the liberal move
ment, and the danger of bloodier occur-
renee there than have been witnessed
greater.
A rising at Moscow is also more likely
to have greater results industrially and
politically than that in st. Petersburg.
According to private reports the work
men in several other big cities, notably
kharkoff, where large locomotive works
are located, already AVE completed plans
for a general suspension of work. More
over, reports are current that the work
men who otherwise would soon be forced
back into the shops or starve nave re-
ceiyed assurances of financial support
from the sources which hitherto have
furnished the sinews of war to the liber-
al and revolutionary agitation, but have
not before been in touch with the labor
movement. If the strike becomes gen.
eral all over Russia, and especially if
the railroads are drawn in, it might force
the nation to make peace with Japan.
The situation appears grave from every
standpoint,
Emperor Nicholas, in making the deci-
sion at the extraordinary meeting of the
council of the empire at the TZarskoi
Selo Monday to declare st. Petersburg in
n state of siege, announced that he had
