Aberdeen. w. Parmley,. state
highway commissioner. who is at
the head of the good roads cor
vention to be held in Aberdeen the
last of ctober. states that from let
tiers received by him from different
parts of the state. he expects at least
1000 delegates to be present at the
convention. A very strong and inter
esting program is being prepared.
Vermillion-At the request of
friends, the remains of F. D. Carbee,
who was found dead at the West farm,
southeast of here. were shipped to Elk
Point for burial. Carbee death was
evidently caused from heart failure.
He was found with his head pinned
between the hub of the front wheel
and buggy tongue. his head and
shoulders being badly burned and
lacerated. 1t is evident that he had
been dragged in this position for
several miles as his hat was found
three miles from the West farm.
Carbee was not a drinking man and
the theory of foul play is exploded by
the finding of about $50 in HE pockets.
