that 1t would be easy to hold Christie
up and rob him Of the large amount
Of money which he was in the habit
Of handling when paying Off for grain
bought at Rudolph station.
The coroner's jury found that the

while the latter was milking COW in
the barn. and tie boy, Michael Ro-
nayne, was shot in the head while milk
ing another COW near by. Mrs. Chris

In the neighborhood the night previous
to the murder, and the authorities are

lie Beau, s. D.. July 2.-Several rail-

over the Cheyenne Indian reservation
lands, which are to be thrown open for
settlement in the fall.
!, The Minneapolis & ST. Louis survey
crews are now about Is miles west Of
the Missouri river and are working In
q remarkably fine country. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul already
has grading outfits at work on Virgin
creek, rs miles west Of LIE Beau. which
Is its nearest approach to this point.
The Northwestern's surveying crews
have crossed into the Cheyenne reser-
walton on the south, at Cherry creek.
With these three great railroad sys-
TENS already so active and the North
ern Pacific working from Ma.ndan south
toward the same country, it is evident
that the Cheyenne Sioux reservation
WIN experience quicker and greater de-
Selopments than any country ever

FOR DETECTION Of
MANS MURDERERS
Union County Commissioners
Will Pay $500 to Find Men
Who Killed Nelson.

Elk Point. 8. D., July 5.-More than
three months after the death OF Ed
c. Nelson, of Alcester, and with con-
f1icting reports circulating as to the
cause Of his death. the commissioners
OF Union county at its meeting this
fence that will lead to the conviction
OF persons implicated In his death
which. according to the report OF the
coroner's jury was caused from "vIo-
ience inflicted by persons unknown TO
the jury
1t was first reported. when the re-
mains of the man was found, that he
might have been struck by a train
While walking along the side of the
track In an intoxicated condition, and
the jury inclined to this theory untilFit
was determined by more critical 4ex-
animation that. besides an internal
rupture of vessels in the intestines
abdominal cavity, and in his stomach
an ounce of liquor and small piece OF
fresh ham which could not have been
secured from the slaughter house,
where he had been at work three hours
during the afternoon previous to his
death and must have come from tho
meat market, where it is claimed that
he had not been during that time.
Evidence Of Crime.
The most significant factor in the
theory of violent death. however, was
found In the fact that While there was
mud along the track where the remains
OF Nelson was found. there was no
mud on his shoes. but where his sus-
penders were broken in the back his
shirt hung out and 1t, as well as the
inside of the back of his coat, was
coated with mud, the only other ap-3
pearance of mud on his clothing being
where the body was found in contact
with the ground. All this is taken to
Indicate that he was carried to the
place where he was found feet forward
by two parties. one at his arms and the.
other at his knees, with the limp body;
sagging down where the clothes came
in contact with the mud.
The belief is that there were other
parties with Nelson in the meat mar
ket during the evening previous to the
hnding Of the body and that a row was
precipitated and that without inten..
ton to kill him he was struck in the
stomach and afterward carried to the
railroad track to give the irnpresstnns
that he was killed by train '-sssF7'
