er OF Washington Springs, S. ID. is

CATTLE COMPANY IS
NAMED IN SAT|ON
EEALING IN
LANDS SAID TO HAVE SOME.
TIllN(, TO DO WITH BIG
LOSS.

In the Chicago Record d-Ierald of
yesterday appears d short item eX-
pressing the belief in some quarters
that the Western Land and Cattle
Company. with headquarters at Nit
chell, S. d., was in some way con-
nected with a loss OF million dol
lars which rumor said last week was
sustained by the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad in building its
Puget Sound line.
A number of officials of this rail-
road company Were named as incor-
porators or directors of the Western
Land and Cattle Company, but they
all declare they knew nothing about
he real ownership of the company
or had made any investment in it.
M. c. Belts of NJ Vernon and O.
Z. liranson OF Mitchell were directors
in this land company. Mr.. Branson
said today that he had never invested
any money in the company, that he
mad been asked to serve as director
under the South Dakota law which
requires two resident directors for
uch a corporation. He said he
lnew nothing about its affairs, the
stock being voted by proxy at the
annual meetings. He had the gem
4ral understanding however, that it
vas engaged in the buying and sell
ng OF land along the right OF way of
he extension. He was under the
Impression that a banker of Chicago
lad large block of the stock.

IN SHACK; DOG
DEvOURS REMAINS
Horrible Discovery
Made on Claim Near
lpswlch
LIES FOR WEEKS
LIES FOR WEEKS
Animal Kept Himself Alive
Only by Eating His
Masters Body

Ipswich, S. D-The terrible death
of Ben Burroughs, an aged settler
near Hosmer, was brought to light
today, when a deputy sheriff from
here accompanied by a number of
Burroughs neighbors. broke into this
shanty, to find his terribly chewed
and mang!ad body on the bed and
his dog locked in the room.
The Old man, thought to be seven
ty years or older, had lived five miles
west of hosmer since 1884 or 1855,
having taken a claim there in the
early days. He was decidedly eccen-
tric, living alone and evincing a de-
sire to keep his affairs to himself. He
seldom went any where and then
only on business, RECEIVED no mail
and in all the years of his residence
in that section, about the only thing
the neighbors CLEANED from his con-
versation was an inadvertent admis-
sion that he was a graduate of some
Illinois college.
On the few occasions when he was
a guest at the table of acquaintances,
he insisted on retaining his cap and
it is generally supposed that he
was scalped by Indians during the
~, Il 20 ~,
theory by the story of man who
was with him one day when his cap
blew off in a high wind, revealing
a head absolutely devoid OF hair.
The hermit-like Ng. lived by the
old man caused his neigghbors to
see little of him, and it was not un-
til yesterday that several of them
sot together and discovered that no
one had seen him for several weeks
the chimney to the little shack which
was his home They then went
to the house but could not rouse him,
though hearing Il dog bark frantical-
ally within. With growing alarm
as to his condition, they telephoned
the states attorney, M. Pin Beebe,
regarding the affair, and he sent a
deputy sheriff out from here.
On the officers arrival the door of
the shack was broken in, and on en-
tering the small room, the men wit
messed the horrible sight of the re-
mains of human body lying on the
bed in one corner, all that remained
intact of the body being an arm and
& leg, the rest having been destroy
ed OF mangled by the animal.
An investigation will be conducted
by the coroner and the states atto.-
ney, but there seems to be little
doubt that the old man, probably
weak from illness and un able tC
care for himself or summon help
starved to death, and the dog locked
within the house, which held no food
for him, was driven to the destruc
tion of his dead masters body.
A hasty search was made yester
day of the small shack, but no paper.
) or letters were found which woult
: furnish any clue as to the where
abouts of his relatives or forme
, home, and he possessed no kinsmel
Or close friends in this section. Lit
flo ic known of his huSinacc affairs
except that he owned the quartz
= section of land on which he lived
!, and which he had taken as a home
stead, and that he owned a numbe
OF government bonds.

TOO MANY COMMISSIONERS.

Lead, S. D.-On a petition of the
voters, the city council has called
special election for Feb. 30 at which
it will be decided whether the city
will have three or five commission
ers this spring. Two years ago this
city voted for the commission form
of government with five commission
ers, the plan to go into effect in
April next but recently sentiment in
favor of three instead of five COM
missioners has caused the call for a
special election.

Deadwood, S. D.-Within the next

residents have been making efforts
to get some of the elk from the Yel-
owstone National park so that they
might be cared for here. Congress
man Martin has just written here
that the first carload will arrive
shortly and that another carload will
be here next month. All the elk
