indications are that death resulted
some three months ago and that the
man was murdered. There was .
severe bruise on one side Of the head
and tenpenny nail had been driven
into the right ear penetrating the brain.
A bullet wound was found on the left
shoulder, about three or four inches
from the neck and the ball passed
downward to a point near the small
ribs on the right side.
No one seems to know who the dead
man is. At the company office there
Is no record that anyone working at
the Calumet mine has turned up miss
Ing. However, at the transfer office 1t
was learned that about February 25th
three men were taken from the Mascot
saloon to Perkins. They were two
Siavs and an Italian.
There Is no question but that these
two Slavs murdered their italian COM
panion. The snow aud dirt mixed to
deceive them and they left thinking
their crime was under the sod forever.
The chances are the frosts Of winter

Lots Of Snow but No Floods.

The danger Of high water along the
Dolores river is thought to be past as
the warm weather Of the past week
has failed TO bring II above the high
water mark OF the previous week,
which was only bank full. The great
floods that were predicted on account
Of the heavy snowfall In the noun
tains last winter, have not come. The
weather this spring has been such that
the snow has melted and the water
ran off gradually. A few warm days
would bring the water up then the
weather would turn cooler and 1t would
run down lagain. In this way the
Great Ruler Of the Universe opened
and closed the flood gates at his will
and the immense volume OF water
flowed down the river doing very little
damage 1t IL not the quantity ol
snow which falls during the winter
that determines the heighth Of the
water In the spring but he manner In
which it goes OFF. There Is enough
snow falls every winter to Hood the val

One Hundred Years Ago.

Here are few facts which show how
much more life is to-day than in "the
good old days" about which we hear.
Not until February Of 1872 did the
people of Kentucky know that Madi-
son was elected President In the pre-
vious November.
In 1884 one of the leading railroads
Of the United States printed on its time
table, "The locomotive will leave the
depot every morning ut ten O'Clock If
the weather Is fair"
The first typewriter was received by
the public with suspition. 1t seemed
subversive of existing conditions. A
reporter who took one into court
room first proved Its real worth.
In England, some centuries ago, If
an ordinary workman without perinis-
sion moved from one parish to another,
in search Of work or better wages, he
was branded with hot iron.
When Benjamin franklin first
thought Of starting . newspaper In
PhiIadeIphia, many Of his friends ad-
vised against 1t because there was q
paper published in Boston. Some Of
them doubted that the country would
be able to support two newspapers.
One hundred years ago the fastest
travel In the world was OH the Great
North Road, In England, after it had
been put into its best condition. Then
the York mail coach tore along at the
rate Of ninety miles day, and many
persons confidently predicted divine
vengeance ON such unseemly haste.
When Benjamin Franklin first took
the coach from Philadelphia to New
York he spent four days on the jour
ney. He tells US that, as the old driver
logged along, he spent bis time knit
ting stockings. Two stage coatches
and eight horses sufficed for all the
commerce that was carried on between
Boston and New York, and in the
winter occupied q week.
