who are under arrest here on warrants
issued by two fire insurance men. The
prisoners are charged with burning
two barns, one on the farm of Davis
mother near Alburnette, and another
on a rented farm about half a mile dis
tant from the first. The two barns
were burned on the same morning sew
eral weeks ago at about o'clock. Tho
circumstances about their burning We're
SO suspicious that an investigation was
begun by officers, and a detective from
Chicago was brought here to work on
the case.
The result up to date is that the
three persons named above have been
arrested charged with the crime. They
were closely questioned at the police
station yesterday afternoon, but the
officers received no further clue from
the questioning. Those who worked
up the case will say nothing about it,
as they have not yet fully developed it.
If nothing tangible against the three
already arrested comes up they will
be released.

Mr.. Young while in this city had Of
fees in the Syndicate building. He
gave a contract at the stipulated price
of s25 to furnish medicine to patients
and guarantee permanent cure The
contract also contained a clause
which stated that should the patient
not become cured thru the treat
ment or receive the proper benefit
from the medicine the money taken
on contract would be refunded. This
was looked upon as good thing by
the afflicted and it is estimated that

receiving the instalment of cathartics,

of these patients have claimed to re-

others are now Of the impression they
have been hoodwinked. The contract
is very carefully worded, but as the

since dead. and papers in his pockets
indicated that the unfortunate was Joe
Smith. The news of the discovery was
brought by a hafbreed Indian to o. r.
Evans. a stage driver between Sloan
and the Indian reservation in Ne
braska, and Mr. Evans notified Coro-
ner Robbins. The boys who found the
body and other Indians who lived in
tents near the river front stripped the
clothes from the dead body and rifled
his pockets. Such is the story told Mr.
Evans by the halfbreed, who is con-
sidered reliable. He also said that the
Indians have tried to keep the discov-
cry secret presumably because of the
robbery of the clothes. The body still
lies on the bank of the river. where it
appears to have been washed up dur
ing high water. The same halfbreed is
responsible for the report that the
