Small Stock Losses-J. f. Phelan
OF Stark Co. writes to the Dickinson
Press, that he has just returned from
a 100 miles team drive in western N.
Dakota. He had expected to lind
stock in bad shape, from the reports,
but did not do so, as the cattle visit
ed were in very good shape. The
stories of snow being level with the
top Of the sage brush and:creek beds
full, were found unwarranted by the
facts. Ranchmen both north and
south of the track have winLered
their cattle in good shape and he
says: 'Personally do not know Of
any of the so-called severe winters
when there was less individual or
general loss Of live stock in western
North Dakota than during the pres
ent winter. The successful Wintering
OF stock is tribute to tine country
and especially to the men with red
blood. in, their viens who get out and
are not afraid to--work. 1t also en-
phasizes the fact that cattle cannot
be turned loose to drift for themselves
and Craze all the year around regard
less of age and size and what they
may have in sight to Craze on"

was burned Saturday evening at 9
o'clock in the Rock Island yards. The
car came in on freight train at about
that time and was discovered to be
smoking by the trainmen. 1t was cut
out and an effort made to smother the
fire out but it was growing beyond
the means at hand to put it out. The

succeeded in eXtinguishing the fire

roof burned off. So Tramps,7 it is pre-

Pittsburg Pa. Jan. 2S.-The be-
headed body of Caspar Kubiczoi of
Jersey City. N. J.. was found on the
tracks of the Pittsburg & Western
railway in Allegheny today. The head
and body were discovered lying to-
gether. the wheels of the train having
severed the neck almost as Clearly as
If done by knife. The discovery of
the dead body was made by a con-
ductor, who had alighted to throw a
switch. The corpse was taken to the
morgue. He had a ticket to New York
in his pocket and a letter addressed to
John Wainer at New Kensington, Pa.
The morgue officials learned that
the man was demented and had been
locked up at New Kensington for sew
eral days on that account. Franz
Kubiczoi of Jersey City, a brother of
the dead man, had sent the latter a
ticket to New York in order to get
h i'm home.
From the manner in which the body
was decapitated, the morgue officials
say the man placed his head on the
rail and committed suicide.

HIS WIFE A COAL.
Sight Which Greeted Albert HoucIz
When He Returned Home.

Pittsburg. Pa, Jan. 2S.-Albert
Houck found the body of his wife
lying on a table in her room, burned
to a coal when he returned home late
last night. The police department and
coroner are making a rigid investiga-
ton of the death, but so far have fail
ed to reach definite conclusion. Their
first theory OF accidental death was
abandoned when 1t was discovered
that nothing else in the room was
burned, not even the table on which
the woman was found. When the
woman's husband arrived home the
doors were all locked. all the lights in
the house out and he was compelled
to climb through a cellar window.
Whether the woman met with foul
play the police are reluctant to say,
but considerable mystery surrounds
the death.
