BELIEVE OFFICERS WERE
DROWNED FROM BALLOON
No Tidings Received of the
Engineers Who Assembled
From Aldershot

LONDON, June 1, 1850 a. MN spite
Of the most strenuous efforts of the
government authorities and others, the
fate of the two young engineer Off
GERS, Lieutenant Caulfeld and Lieuten-
ant Leake, who went up in balloon
from Aldershot camp May 2S, remains a
mystery, and the slender thread of
hope grows less and less as the hours
pass and no news OF the missing men
comes to hand. There is every reason
to believe that another tragedy of the
air and sea has taken place.
The officers at Aldershot have prac-
ticalfy given up hope. 1t is thought
that the balloonists, confused by the
heavy mist, mistook their bearings.
This theory is borne out by the log
which was recovered from the derelict
balloon and in which it is recorded that
the two officers were trying to descend
Tuesday evening. the same time the
balloon was seen drifting out to- sea by
the Weymouth coast guards. 1t is
feared that the aeronauts were either
thrown out when the basket struck
the water or that they Were drowned
subsequently when the balloon, after
being driven bounding over: the waves,
finally dropped into the channel off Ex-
mouth. 1t is interesting to note that
the log shows the balloon reached an
altitude of 5000 feet.

iieved to be evidence of q brutal MUIR
Ger was discovered at the Ryan soap
works in Spring Grove avenue today.
The mutilated and partly consumed
body OF a man was found in the fur
mace Of the factory. There is no clew
10 the identity of the victim. but the
indications are such that the police
believe that he was murdered and an
attempt made later to dispose of the
body.
A post naortem examination Of the
body determined the fact that the
mans skull had been fractured. From
the style OF his coat IL is believed that
he was q foreigner, probably Rou-
manian.
John McDermott, engineer at the
soap works has been questioned by the
pQhce and is still under surveillance,
McDermott discovered the body in the
furnace and Immediately called his
fellow workmen. He claims that the
body must have been put in the fur
mace. some time between 6 and $50
-this. morning while he was in another
room examining machinery.

SAN JOSE. May 31.-Tomorrow is
ments in the labor field. The carmen
are threatening to strike, there is dis
affection among the teamsters, and the
laundry workers have submitted their
demands TO the employers and have
given them until tomorrow night to

o. Soldier Dead.

Lowering clouds with a strong
possibility OF rain, did not start off
Decoration Day with anything OF an
suspicious nature, and the chances
we're very much Ia favor of rain fall
ing before the parade could start.
While small sprinkling a resulted
from the cloudy conditions it was
not sufficient to prevent the parade
from moving.
An hour before the parade was TO
move at 10 O'Clock a large number Of
people came in from the county and
the .-citizens came down town to be
on the streets to watch the process
sion. The school children gathered
at the school houses and under the
direction of the teachers marched to
the meeting point. The old soldiers
and Relief Corps ladies assembled at
the post rooms where carriages were
in waiting for the latter and they
went to First street to move i'm the
procession. An immense crowd was
c~ohgregaIed at First and Main street,
and numberless people were occupy
ing points Of vantage along the
street to watch the parade.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Chief Mars
hall Turneaure started the process
sion, with Chief of Police Keith and
his assistants on horseback and the
old soldiers swinging into line from
First Avenue east and marching
with slow and faltering step. They
were placed at the head Of the
parade as a marx of honor and for
them to set the pace for marching.
The Relief Corps ladies followed in
carriages, and then came the Mitch
ell State band playing an appropriate
selection. The company of South
Dakota National Guards, under
Captain Ratnbun, followed and then
came the city council members in
carriages, and the Mitchell fire
department in uniform followed.
One of the inspiring sights was the
presence of so many children in the
line OF march, they bringing up the
rear. The little tots marched along
hand in hand and the lar ger pupils
followed.
Arriving at Sixth street the pro-
cession d%isbanded, and the rigs that
were assembled there were soon
filled. About a dozen or fifteen hay
racks and wagons had been provided
for the school children and as ,aany
as desired were taken out tc Grace.

with the procession and an immense
concourse wendell its way out to the
scene Of the morning observance.
The carriages were strung out all

and it was stated by macy that
the largest crowd which ever went
out to Graceland on Decoration Day
was present on tins occasion, the
number being estimated at over 1000
people.
