RICH SLAIN.
Suffering Of Stock Leads to Discovery
Of Murder,

A foul murder was revealed last
week by finding the body Of Frank NJ.
Brown, a wealthy bachelor of the west
end Of Codington county. The man
evidently had been dead for nearly a
week, so the murderers have a long
start.
Brown was an eccentric character
and lived alone in a shack four miles
southwest Of Henry. He was known to
be wealthy, but banked very little Of
his money, burying it in his wheat bins
or in the ground or carrying it in large
rolls on his person.
A neighbor called Saturday morning.
and finding the stock suffering for at
tention for attention, forced the door
of the house and discovered a faithful
dog on guard over the body. A bullet
hole in the back Of the mans head
showed the n Of his death, and
a revolver was found outside in the
grass. Tracks of two men running
were traced in the plOwed ground lead
ing in the direction of town.
How much money the murderers Sc
cured may never be known. The shan
ty had been thoroughly ransacked and
nothing of value overlooked. No ar
rests have been made. and the police
have no one under suspicion Is yet.
