MYSTERY ON THE RANGE
Search Reveal. Skeleton of Ranehman
Who Qiaappesred.

| Who Disappeared.
Sioux Falls, S. D., March 13.-The au-
| thorities of Butte county, after per-
sistent efforts have thus far been baf-
| fled in their attempts to solve a mys-
terry Of the range.
Butte county is in the great cattle
range section OF the state and is oc-
.cupied largely by the herds of cattle
men. The mystery which the authori-
ties are endeavoring to solve is as to
who was responsible for the death Of
lily Young, whose body was found near
the ranch established by him in Butte
county.
Young several years ago arrived in
Butte county with a small herd OF
horses, which he ranged along Grand
river and in the breaks back from
that stream. AS a motive for his as
sassination, 1t is said that he became
possessed of information which would
cause trouble to parties in that region
If divulged to the authorities. 1t has
been learned that shortly before the
disappearance of Young from the
neighborhood some of these parties
formed posse, with the intention Of
proceeding to Young's home and killing
him. They endeavored to work up sen
'timert against him, claiming he was a
menace to the community.
The Englishman had in the mean
time heard Of the proposed visit, and
gathering together party OF friends
awaited the coming OF the lynching
party. Some of the posse. after reach
ing a point some 200 yards from
Young's cabin, refused to proceed any
farther and the posse stopped for a par
ley.
The men in the cabin with Young
could see them and wanted to open
fire upon them, but were restrained by
Young, who. having nothing to fear
from the law or from the consequence
of an illegal act which he might have
committed. did not wish to kill anyone
unnecessarily. His mercy cost him his
life some days later.
After the danger of the lynching had
passed Young visited Healey, the post
office Of that vicinity, and in conversa-
,tion with a storekeeper there told him
of the affair. saying that he had iden-
titled the members OF the posse. Young
informed the storekeeper that his
his intention was to gather up his
horses and leave the country He
stated that he would start the work OF
rounding IN the horses in few days. :
The following day Young commenced
his work, and was seen by one or two
people who knew him while he was
thus engaged. From that time until
his skeleton was found, half buried in
the soil at the foot of felled pine
tree. in lonely place near Grand river
not the slightest trace Of him could be.
found. His stock disappeared from tho
range. and not a hair or hide of the
lorses have since been seen.

Among remarkable recent Inventions
may be mentioned the pneumoslito, the
tOpedict, the telemeter, the telephoneers
and the thermophile. A Vienna 3onr-
nal III describing these instruments
says that the first named is an auto
mobile especially designed for use on,
ice, but can just as easily be operated
on land. 1t is moved by a propeller
wheel run by two and three-quarteri
horse power electric motor, the propel-.
carriage at a speed of twenty miles am
hour. The topodict is a combination
of Il nantograph and telescope, by,
means of which anyone is enabled to
draw correctly any scene required with
out having knowledge Of the art. The
telemeter measures exactly the dimen-
sions of objects at a distance of mile
or farther in clear weather The tele-
pioneer is an apparatus by which u
ship is automatically located at sea.
