ACCIDENTALLY ASPHYxlATED.
Aged Resident of Sioux Falls Founc.
Dead in His Home.

Sioux Falls, S. d, Oct. 26.-Coroner
l.. ID. Miller, after carefully investigat-
ing the circumstances surrounding the
death of Wendell Obert, the pioneer
resident Of Sioux Falls, who on Mon
day afternoon was found dead sitting
in a chair in his home, with the burner
of a gas stove fully urned on but not
lighted, decided that the death of Mr..
ebert WAS purely accidental and hat
1t was not necessary to hold an in
quest.
The general opinion of those who
have investigated the death of the UNI
fortunate man is that Mr.. Obert start
ed to ook a meal on the gas stove
and that he was taken sick, and, think
ing he had lighted the burner, sat
down in the sitting room, just off the
kitchen, and became unconscious and
was asphyxiated.
Mr.. Obcrt was a member of the Ger
a Odd Fellows lodge and also of the
Modern Woodmen. The former lodge
had charge of the funeral, which was

HAVANA LAUGHS AT
SlLVE!RA'S DEFENSE
Captain of the CarmeIina Says the Fu.
gitive Broker Had Only

Havana, Oct. 27.-It was learned on
board the Carmeiina, which returned
from Puerto Cabello with Manuel Sill
veira, that he shipped from here on
October 2 as No. % of the crew. his
family of six going as passengers. Cap
tain Anderson. of the cattle boat, pro-
fessed not TO have known that the
broker who chartered the vessel was
making surreptitious flight.
He says he left for New York, but
got orders a few miles out to put the
vessel about for the south He touched
mt Curacao. where he paid a fine for
not having proper papers. Then he
went TO Puerto Cabello and Senior Sill
Neira ~journeyed to Caracas, where he
said he was going into the cattle bust
ness.
The story from Caracas that Silveira
had said he left 81. 800, 600 on deposit
here to meet s750,000 liabilities is
laughed at.
That's absurd said a prominent
banker. HE may have referred to any
claims not yet paid by the treasury.
but they did not belong to him. They
are the property of the New York and
European syndicate got up by CebalIos
& Co, for which they and Silveira
merely acted as agents. Silveira lust
before he went tried to discount a LOT
of paper and was turned down hard
From what ! can lear he did not have
more than 500, coo when he left."
Captain Anderson says Silveira. so
far as he knew, had no large amour
aboard. He understood when the ves-
sells fine was paid that Sjiyeira's cash
IN hand was 100000.

corpse was lowered in undisturbed
peace. The minister read a chapter
from the bible and offered a short
prayer and the undertaken and assem-

"Canard" is a French word meaning
IA duck, but it is frequently used in
English to signify a fabricated sensa-
ltional statement. The origin OF this
,use is interesting. Some fifty years ago
b French Journalist declared himself the
lcured twenty ducks, cutting n up
into small pieces, distributed them
among the remaining nineteen. A sec
lond bird was then treated in the same
manner. Then a third, n so on. I'M
It'll one duck remained, which, of course,
kontained in its inside the essence Of
the other nineteen. This the journalist
claims to have eaten himself, benefit
Eing by the virtues of the whole of the
twenty.
