GREWSOME THEORIES

OF CAPT. MCCLELLAN
Human Remains Found In
Natural Gave May BE Those
Of Missing Veteran.

Custer city, s. D., Nov. 4.--Did old
Captain Mcclellan, OF Fiji City, near
here, wander away and die In the wilder
ness Two ago, as per his threat?
Did he perish by his own hand. al he
had often said he would, and then lie
In grewsome state in a lonely cavern
seven miles from Custer City for that
entire time, his flesh to be eaten by the
mountain lions. bob cats and pack
rats? These are the questions which
the people of this part OF Custer. county
have been trying to answer for the past
two days, as q result OF finding. In q
natural cave In the rocks, eve miles
from Custer City, the blackened bones
and SCARED pocket utensils OF some
person, known by no man.
County Coroner John McFadden, OF
this city. went to the scene OF h dis
covery, upon the information OF VIM.
Virtue, who found the tragical skeleton
while looking for pine cones. Mr.. Nc
FRdden buried the bones 1t the mouth
OF the cave. near q pile OF charcoal,
which the mar whose flesh and blood
once covered the one had evidently
built on the fatal night he died In the
solitary spot which also marks his
burial. Al shoe. q spool OF thread, with
q needle attached, q pocket knife, the
handles green with age and exposure,
and a few pieces OF clothing, were the
material remains of the life that passed
out Of the world so quickly.
The general presumption, In most
minds, Is that the bones are those OF
the man mentioned ABOVE He was
addicted to the use OF liquor, 1t is said,
and lived with another old man, o.
blacksmith, at Hill City. The two would
frequently quarrel, and Mcclellan often
reiterated his intention OF taking his
own life. About two years ago, he dis
appeared, and although diligent search
was made for him, not even a clew was
found. Whether he went into, the cave
to sleep, and was killed by mountain
lions, which are numerous In that re-
gton, or whether he went into the cave
and took his own life, or whether he
died q natural death there from age
and exposure, are, of course, mysteries
An effort is being made to ascertain
from circumstantial evidence, whether
the bones found were really those OF
Mcclellan, a matter which IS, however,
taken for granted by almost every one.

dicalists and more moderate Social

Wagram, where public meeting had
been called by Gustave Herve, the

pardoned by President Fallieres.
When he took the platform and failed
to advise the conscripts to desert,

anarchists who we're present in
great strength, raised pandemonium.
Chairs were hurled from the gallery,
shots were exchanged and knives
drawn.

New York, Sept. 26.-The annual

Northern Pacific Railway company
will be held in this city on Oct. l. |
Excerps from the pamphlet report fol
the fiscal year, ended June 30, last
containing the essential figures of the
document, will be made public at that
time. A surplus of about $4,000, 00f
will be shown. No comprehensive
financial plan will be recommended by
the directors for action by the share
holders. No other important matters
will be presented for consideration OF
action.
1t is expected that the five directors
namely: Howard Elliott, Lewis Case
Ledyard, J. P. Morgan, Jr.. T. w. La
mont and Charles Steele, whose terms
Of Office expire, will be reelected.
Mr.. Elliott had expected to come to
New York from st. Paul to preside al
the meeting as usual, but it is improb'
able that he will do so. In the event
of his absence, Col. w. P. Clough, who
was elected vice president a few
months ago to succeed J. N. Hill, re-
signed, and who is in charge Of the
New York office. will be the presiding
officer. The directors of the Northern
