MYSTERY ABOUT KADEN's DEATH
Testimony at Coroner's Inquest OF
Conflicting Nature.

HOMESTEAD, s. D., Jan. 4.--(Specisl
Telegram mo new developments have
turned up in the case of the death of Peter
Kaden, a homesteader from Hoskins, Neb.,
whose body was found in we'll thirty
miles west of Bonesteel on the reservation.
The verdict OF tho coroners jury was sui
eide. but conflicting testimony was I'M
earthed
The neighbor, Isaac Syfe, whose horse
was taken ostensibly as n Joke, came to
BonesteeI today and swore out warrant
for the arrest OF Kaden for larceny. When
questioned by the justice Syfe denied hav-
ing any knowledge OF Kaden's death, al
though he lives in plain sight of kaden' =
house. a quarter of IA mile away, where
the inquest and services were held. Others
claim they met Syfe Monday and told him
OF Kaden's death. Syfe's story and the
testimony at the coroners inquest conflict
in many ways, Some suspect that Kaden
met with foul play, though no marks of
violence were found on the body Several
Of syfe's friends claim they saw Kaden
alive Sunday afternoon, but searchers who
found the body claim they discovered it
the same afternoon in the well, though
the coroner was not notified until Monday
afternoon.
The authorities here will make a rigid
investigation of the whole affair sensa-
tional developments are expected.
