Died FROM WOUNDS She
RECEIVED when shot
MRS FRANK SikEL UNABLE TO
UNDERGO OPERATION
Remains Will Be Taken to Fedora, S.
D., Where They Will Be Laid in
Final Resting Place.

Tuesday evening Mrs. Frank Sikel
of Linton, who was MORALLY wounded
when shot by her brother-in-law Syl.
weston Sikel, who afterward committed
suicide by burning himself to death
died at one of the local hospitals after
an operation had been performed for
the purpose of amputating her left
leg, through which the entire charge
of the gun had entered. The victim
of the frenzied man did not receive
medical care for over five hours after
she was shot, as her husband was in
town twelve miles away from the
scene of the shooting when it occurred
and she was not discovered till late.
She lost so much blood during that
time that there was little hopes of
saving her life.
The body was prepared for burial
here and shipped on No. 8 Wednesday
afternoon for Fedora, S. D.. where it
will be laid to rest.
The neighbors of Frank Sikel, the
bereaved husband, who lost everything
as the result of his brothers insane
act, barn, house. stock, grain, hay,
everything, feel unusual sympathy for
him at this hour and have already
raised voluntary subscription amount
ing to about $500 for him to give him
a fresh start in life. A calamity be.
falling a man with no warning and
with such direful results would un-
nerve many men. but Mr.. Sikel is
displaying unparalleled fortitude and
bravery in meeting this hard blow and
his friends will assist him all they
can to regain his loss.

a VERY INTEREST

"A ing document giving
 statistics of express companies has been issued by the Interstate Commerce Com mission. The close relations existing between the express and railroad interests is shown in the fact that the express companies hold $3,o62 ,o58.33 of the stock of express com panies; that they hold s2o,- 47I,o42.3 36 of the stock of rail way companies, and that the railway companies hold S14- 124, ,ooo, ,oo of the stock of the express companies. In the report it is shown that the combined general balance sheet statement shows that the total assets of the B com panies were sI8o, 2I,38o. 54. The most significant fact shown by this statement is that the record value of the property used in operation by the express companies is but 12 per cent of the total assets
 The total investment as shown by the value of real property and equipment is but twenty five per cent of the capital liability as represented by the capital stock and funded debt reported. It Is evident from the report that the amount of capital stock of these compa- nies bears no relation to the amonnt invested in the con- duct of the express business. After the deduction of taxes, $eoo, 51o.7o, from net opera ting revenue there remained $II,387,48o.15, 5, to which was added $5,232,4o7.73, repre- senting principally income of from securities owned. After the deduction of interest, $I,o47,28o.95, and miscellane- ous items, s1oo, I22.35, there remained a net corporate in come of $15,3S2,553.5S, out of which dividends amounting to $4,326,93o.1o were de clared. In addition, there were $2, ,223, 3,o8e.o4 dividends declared out of surplus.
