BODY OF INFANT
FOUND IN RIVER

Fargo, March 16.-Yesterday after
noon some boys who were walking
along the river near Oak Grove park
discovered the body of an infant float
ing down the river, and after hard
work succeeded in getting 1t to shore
The remains were partly incased In
ice.
A student of the Agricultural col
1ege who happened near at the time
took charge of the body, placed 1t In
box and took 1t to his lodging house
on Seventh avenue north, and called
at police headquarters where he mott
fed Chief Bowers.
The body was that of a very young
child and was frozen stiff. It had
evidently not been in the water any
great length Of time and was prob
ably either placed in the river from
one of the bridges, or as the police
think, may have been thrown into q
sewer and during the last thaw had
reached the river.

|vANDALS DAMAGE
jAMES10WNHOME

jamestown, N. D., Mar. 16.-With
the floors covered with small frag-
ments of china and expensive glass
ware, the home of Mrs. Arden Smith,
who has been out of the city for the
winter, was discovered today to have
been broken into and a great deal of
valuable property destroyed. There is
no clue to the guilty person and the
whole affair is surrounded with 1nys-
terry because none of the valuables
were taken. The house is on the out
skirts of the city toward the state
asylum for the insane and there are
some who believe that one of the in
mates found the house unoccupied and
in his demented condition destroyed
the property. The havoc is confined
to glassware, china, pictures and the
dumping and overhauling of trunks
and chiffoniers. The china closet, in
which large oval glass was smashed,
is the only large piece of furniture
that is harmed, but the dishes, some
of them expensive, have been reduced
to bits and it is believed a hammer
found on the table was used for the
purpose.

HISTORICAL RELICS
IN indian MOUNDS

Jamestown, N. D., March TO-
Some interesting photographs have
been taken by engineers on construc'
ton work on the proposed route OF
the new line of railroad in the north
ern portion of this country. These
photographs show the contents of q
mound and the skeletons of seven
persons.
The mound was observed by sur.
veyors, who believed it to have been
made by the Indians. Upon exca.
waiting, several fine specimens Of In.
dian hammers and war implements
were discovered and the skeletons of
what appear to be white men. The
wrists are tied with rawhide, and the
skulls are crushed. 1t is apparent
that the victims were surprised by
Indians and bound and murdered.
From the appearance of the mound.
itwould appear that the crime was
perpetrated about forty years ago.
There are several mounds along the
new Pingree-Wilton line, and along
the proposed course of the Midland
Continental railroad north of the city,
and 1t Ia proposed to open the same.
lit is believed that a fine collection OF
Indian war implements and curios
con be obtained therefrom.

WINGFIELD ENTERS JARB|DGE
Augurs Well For Elko County
As Fortune Smiles On All
His Ventures

The presence of George Wingield al
this time in Elko augurs well for the
mining interests Of northern ElkC
County. says the Free Press. In fact il
more clearly bespeaks the rich promise
Of a brilliant future for our mineral re-
sources than any word of mouth or pen.
With the very best talent that money
can hire he %inspects mining property
and proves its values before investment,
aud when he decides to interest him.
self. that property can be banked upon
to produce the goods.
Twelve years ago the writer first met
Mr.. Wing6eld at Golconda, and for
more than a year was his next door
neiehbor. WinRfeld's only asset at
this time was his affability and a marked
shrewdness in business affairs. In
1910 he went to Tonopah and later to
Goldfeld, and his rise to the leading
capitalist of the State and a man of af-
fairs was meteoric. He now has min
ing interests in every part Of the State,
and he is perhaps the only man of wide
operations who has never had a failure
in the mining game. Everything he
touches seems to urn to goll. His
latest investment that involved big
money was at Buckhorn. Here some
wise one asserted that Wingfield had
let his foot slip. but developments
proved it to be one of the best Of his
many investments. 1t is said that there
is now blocked out in his Buckhorn
property in Eureka County ore worth
50, 900, zoo.
The aggregate value of Mr.. Wing.
fields holdings is widely estimated in
value, but is c~onservatively fixed at
$50. 000, 900, and his yearly income is
said to be close to 81, 000,0 900.
Lapse Of time aud the coming into
possession of millions has wrought but
slight chang, in him. To-day, as ten
years ago. one is impressed with his
easy affapility and unassuming manner
as we'll as the keen, calculating bust
ness qualities that served to amass an
inconceivable fortune.
Nc greater assurance of the future OF
Jarbidge can be given than the fact that
Mr.. Wingfeld's experts have advised
him that the camp will make good. and
as stated above, his presence here at
this time presages well for the outlook
Of that mining camp.
