Mysterious Death.

Sioux Falls.-Coroner Leonard and
Sheriff Reilly of Sioux Falls were call
ed to Sherman to look after the body
of a man who was found dead at that
place under mysterious circumstances.
So far as can be ascertained, the dead
mans name was A. A. Apologize, but
nothing can be learned as to where
his home was. He was member of
a threshing crew working near Sher-
man and had only recently come to
the state. He retired as usual after
his days work, and in the morning
his body was found in front of the
barn, it being evident that he had
walked or jumped or been thrown out
of the second story window of the
structure. 1t is believed in some quar-
tiers that he may have been robbed
and murdered, asfnothing of valueS(vas
found in his pockets. About the only
thing found in his pockets was a 500
confederate bill.

Second Fair Of Reds,

Mitchell.-The Indians on Lower
Brule agency will give their annual
fair beginning Stepember 10 and last
ing four days. Superintendent Dough
erty is at the head of the enterprise.
This display of horses and cattle will
be of the best from the herds of the
Indians. The red men have been ex-
ceptionally successful this year in the
production of crops, and displays Of
all kinds of grains will be made from
the Indian farms. The superintendent
believes this will be great incentive
to visiting Indians, who are not en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits to start
to farming. He has arranged for
numerous sporting events, in which
the Indians will compete. Arrange
ments will be made to feed the In
dams while at Lower Brule, and this
of itself will be big feature. Hun
dreds of white people plan on attend
ing the fair, which will be the second
of its kind in the state.

NEVER IS A MATTER OF SIZE

knowledge OF first aid to the appar-

satisfaction of seeing the young man

Tracing the Dogs Descent.

1t seems to be generally accepted by
naturalists and the world at large that
the domestic dog is in some sense a
collateral descendant of the wolf or
jackal. says a writer in Harper's
Weekly.
A professor at the Natural History
Museum in Paris has communicated
results of his study of various canine
skulls to the academy of sciences. He
appears to have noticed certain per-
culiarities of growth which have hith-
erto escaped biologists. He states that
the skull of almost every species of
wolf and jackal differs from the skull
of the shepherd dog to an extent that
makes it impossible that this dog
should belong in the same classified
ton. The skull of the Indian wolf, on
the contrary, shows some points of
resemblance. This, indeed, is the only
savage canine the top of whose head
projects like that of the dog.
There are, moreover, other charac-
teristics which the Indian wolf has in
common with the dog, and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them, although his origin and that Of
the dog have long been supposed to
be a common one.
The conclusion of this scientist is
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
of the shepherd dog and the blood
hound. There were two primitive races
of dogs analogous to these which were
first domesticated in central Asia,
whence they passed to Europe, and
there seems no reason to doubt that
the bloodhound of today is the direct
descendant of the dog spoken of by
the ancients as "the dog of the age OF
bronze"
