APPRAISFMFNT TODAY
 OF THE FLOOD ESTAIE
John Floods Strange Manner of
 TranSaCting Business.

The petition of Mrs Annie Flood for letters of administration on the estate of her husband, John Flood. has been granted and an appraisement of the estate will take place today. It will be impossible at the appraisement to ar rive at even an approximate value Of the estate on account of the peculiar manner in which Flood transacted business. It is known that he had money on deposit in a Los Angeles bank with which he opened an account 1 twelve years ago. It is not known what the balance is but from what can be gathered from the bank booK and from Floods check book it is supposed to be $23GG. There is deposit of $500 in the Valley bank which Flood placed ! there eight years ago as security for bondsmen furnished him by the bank His strange manner of doing busi- ness is shown in the fact that for years he had been borrowing money here paying as much as one per cent a month when he had more money than he needed in the Los Angeles bank and which was drawing no interest Also, after he put that money in the Valley bank he borrowed money of the bank on his note which is still drawing interest
 Flood never spoke to his wife or daughter of money matters so that they know very little about his affairs He frequently brought home appar- entIy large sums of money which would be about the house or store for day or two and then would disap pear. There Is a surmise that he may have hidden il away.
 An illustration of his business meth ods is given. About the outbreak of the war with Spain a drummer told that in consequence of the war coffee would be high and that it would be an act of foresight to lay in a big stock of i il and reap rich harvest when coffee could no longer be obtained in the South American markets. Flood ac- Cordingly bought a large stock of roasted coffee in packages and stored l it away in the rear of his grocery. Within a day or two in the course of an overhaulng Of the stock Tor the purpose of taking an inventory prac-
 ticaliy all of this coffee was found. the l boxes unopened. Flood kept on buy
 ing coffee without touching that war
 coffee.
 His reason for holding that coffee
 may be explained by another business
 practice of his. Some times at the be-
 ginning of the season he would buy
 grain. at say 90 cents a sack. and
 would sell it for a dollar. A little later
 he would buy other grain of the same
 kind al 75 cents a sack and sell it for
 S5 cents. When a customer would ask
 for a sack Of grain Flood would ask
 him which kind he would have. the S1
 kind or the S5 cent kind? In reply to
 the customers query as to the differ cnce iu quality. Flood would say that
 there was none. but that on account Of
 the price he had paid he could sell the
 one kind for nothing less than dol
 lar and he intended to hold It until the price reached that figure. In the mean
 time he would meet the prices of com
 petitors with other grain of the same
 kind.
 It was thought at the time of his

SOUTH DAKOTA A GREAT LAND

!. d. Hardin of Galena, s. D., was in
Omaha last week, stopping at the Merchants
and visiting with some OF the Omaha peo-
pie who are interested in his mining propo-
sitious. Not only is Mr.. Hardin a miner,
but he had some interesting figures on the
growth of the farming indutry in South
Dakota.
Cattle and horses fatten without the
use of corn on the grasses which supported
the famous buffalo several years ago" said
Mr. Hardin Timothy and clover and

ting a strong foothold, for II is said blue
grass follows civilization When It is con-
sidered that the entire western country
was bought from Spain for S15,OOoOOO aud
South DalSota's corn crop alone last year
brought S16,OOO,OOO. it is easily seen how
the country is growing.
''This country is becoming more and
more each year a tributary country to
Omaha and the people of this city are de-
irving more benefits each year from the
growth of South Dakota,
Last year the state raised $4,000

ARGYLE KASTRoN OFF STAGE
Retire from FOOtIishts Next
Month,

Argyle Kastron, the pretty Greek violin
ists. who as Miss Marguerite Mercedes Won
Fritsch Friday afternoon became Mrs.
Leonard Samuel Hughes, viii not wear her
stage nom dc plume nor play her violin

That day she bids farewell to the stage
and settles down to domestic life with her
new husband.
DR.. Hughes, who is a surgeon in the
army, and his bride left last night after
the engagement at the Orpheum was nm
ished and proceeded with the company 10

San Francisco, where the doctor is now

plays at Louisville, but Argyle Kastron will
not fill that engagement, for it is in Louis
Vile and Frankfort where DR.. Hughes
has spent his life.
Mrs. Hughes wants TO go to the Philip

induced her husband 10 Apply for a trans

MAN FOUND DEAD ON TRACKS
some Doubt as to Whether it
IL Case of Murder or
Suicide.

The body Of Adolph Cholnard, better
known as Duffy" aged about IS, and en-
ployed as mattressmaker by the Omaha
Bedding company, 1902 Nicholas street, was
found lying between the Missouri Pacific
tracks on Nicholas street, near Sixteenth,
at O'Clock last night By Al Marshall. a
freight brakeman from Atchison, Kan.
Death had been very recent, as the body
was still at blood heat when Marshall called
others OF his crew and they decided the
man was not drunk, as they at first sup
posed, but dead.
The police made a hurry run to the spot,
and after Police Surgeon Pugsley pro-
nounced the mans neck broken the body
was taken in charge by Coroner Bradley. At
the county morgue not the smallest indi-
cation OF violence could be found in the
way OF bruises or cuts, but nevertheless
the circumstances pointed strongly toward
murder. In the mans pockets were found
but 90 cents. while it was known he had
been paid during the afternoon, but a new
theory Of death was furnished when Deputy
Coroner Shields discovered the odor of car
! bolic acid about the mouth. and G.. w
Turner. car repairer at the yards tele-
phoned he had found an empty bottle which
| had contained the poison within n few feet
I of where the body was found.
The bottle bore the label of the Bell
pharmacy, 1106 North Sixteenth street, but
/ in an attempt TO learn who had made the
purchase at the store it was found the
clerk. julius Larson who had made the
sale, had already gone to his home in Ben
son. Further inquiry in this direction was
baked when It was discovered no record
had been made OF selling the bottle which
| contained two ounces of the acid. The
suicide theory, however, was strengthened
bv the story of John Monahan, ll26 North
twentieth street, foreman over Choinard al
the factory. who was held a short time
by the police and who stated Choinard
spoke of committing suicide two weeks ago
because of i'll health, he being suferer
from consumption. He also said the man
appeared morose and peculiar all day sat
urday Fritz Winter. 1872 Cunning street.
who was also held by the police because
he was one of the last ones seen with the
dead man, was released late IN the even
ing.
Choinar5 came to Omaha only about two
months ago from Butte, Mont, and
worked in nearly every city in the country.
His people live in Michigan, but he seemed
10 have a desire TO keep his whereabouts
unknown to them, and probably for this
reason gave different name in every
town he visited. When he came here he
said his name was Duffy, but last Sunday
he was arrested in the raid OF a North SIX
teenth street saloon, and then said ms
name was Choinard. To Monahan he AFTER
ward said this was his right name.
Hans johnson, a railroad stoker' told the
police he saw a man sitting beside the
track at $40, nodding as though drunk
and this is believed to have been Choinard'
A post mortem examination win probably
be held today to determine whether death
was the result Of the acid taken internally
or OF a blow which broke the neck acid
later being poured into the mouth to hide
the crime.
