STRANGER is FOUND
With THROAT CASHED

Evidences of Struggle Near
Body May Have Been Result
of Death Agony.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 23.-Mystery
surrounds the identify of a mar VINO
was found dead about two o q from
a highway, at. a point two and one
half miles northwest of the town or
Humboldt, west of Sioux Falls. There
were evidences that the man had com
mitted suicide. His throat was cut
from ear to ear, n beside him was
found the knife with which the bloody
deed was committed.
A large number of the residents or
the region have inspected the body, but
the dead man was a stranger to them
and no light as yet has been thrown on
his identity. The dead mar was about
80 or IS years of age and was fairly
well dressed. In the immediate Vicln-
fly of where the body was found there
were evidences of a struggle, but those
who have investigated the case say
these marks evidently were made by
the man himself while plunging about
just before death ended his suffering.
Sheriff Nelson and Coroner Booth are
investigating the case.

great hit with Mrs. LongwOrth and
Mrs. Waldorf Aston, who asked that he
