and a search being at ono made,
proved the fathers suspicious we're
only too true.
When discovered, lying face up
ward, the body was unrecognizable, be-
ingcharred and twisted and the flesh
nearly all burned from the face. 1t
was identified as the body OF Howard
Mccullough by a pocket knife, and by
a portion Of thevest, which covered
the deceasedback.
At the inquest Monday morning the
coroner's jury, which was composed OF
John T. Crews, Thos. Hook, Ms. Myers,
Gus billiard, John Hill and Rufus
Pearson, after hearing all the testi-
mony failed to place the blame and
rendered a verdict that the deceased
came to his death ''by reason Of being
burned In a barn, and that the origin
OF the fire was unknown"
Emory Mccullough stated that two
Of his horses were Of a vicious DISPOSE
tion and kicked violently at the least
provocation, and that ii is his opinion
that his brother, who smoked con-
siderably, was possibly in the act OF
lighting a cigar and was kicked by one
Of these horses, and the lighted match
or che cigar stub set fire to the bed
ding Of the stable.
Together with the barn and two
horses, some 90 bales Of straw, hay anc
a quantity Of other feed was entirely
destroyed, and the owner states tina
little insurance was carried on thu
same. The barn was the property o
Mrs. CORN, a widow, who had rentet
it and the house TO another widow, Mrs
Bigelow, who had sub-rented the bar
to Emory Mccullough, who it will b
remembered suffered a loss OF his owI
barn about a month ago.
Howard Mccullough would hay

Starts With Good Prospects.

VIM. M. Johnson, of Brainerd,
Mimi, who took charge of the J.
H. Tompkins' meat market Mon
day, starts out with the very
brightest of prospects for a sue
cessful business career. He has
brot with him an experienced
man and has retained Mr.. Tomp-
kins' old employees.
Mr.. Johnson has leased the
building for three years, bought
all of the fine cattle that Mr..
Tompkins had on hand, and the
business is going on just as
smoothly as it did under the old
management. Johnson is a man
who is as square as a die, and
very accommodating. He is a
valuable asset to any business
community and deserves the rec
ognition which he is receiving.
He is making some improve
ments and will see that there is
no finer market in the northwest.

\ new dipping machine has
been invented in Denver which
will likely take the place OF the
watts, several OF which were built
IN Ward county a few years ago.
Instead Of dipping the cattle
with a solution of water and
sulphur, the cattle are simply
driven thru a machine which
sprays them with a solution of
crude oil, sulphur and lime mixed
with water. The machine is pro-
vlded with wheels and is there
fore portable. One machine
handles $500 or 1000 cattle a
day and when the cattle emerge
after their shower bath they look
happy and contenred. One ap-
plication destroys all scabbies
or mango. Each critter requires
approximately one half gallon Of
the dipping solution.
