six pounds and that he also caught

SIX pounds, but no prizes were given

Special to The Tribune.
SYKESTON, N. D., Jan. 2-While
driving to town a son of Nick Winand,
who lives three miles northwest Of
here, discovered the body of man
lying in the brush beside the road.
On examination the body was found
to have been frozen for some time.
When the information was given to
the officers at this place number of
citizens went to the place and cov-
cred the body and set watch to
guard it until the coroner from Cathay
could arrive. Those who saw the body
claim that the man was stranger in
this section and that none Of them
had ever seen him before.
Who the man was or where he came
from has been puzzling all. His cloth
ing was Of good quality and the man
was apparently warmly dressed. Some
surmise that the man wandered away
from the road in one Of the storms
which recently swept over this place,
and, becoming exhausted, took shelter
beneath the trees and there froze to
death.

sport, will not attend the meeting, it
is said. Efforts will be made to declare
StaEg and other athletic directors in.

Stagg Is reported to be recovering
from his recent illness and would re-

Of the big eight" board was said to
have originated at the University of

Rv Aooncioto6 proco

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Locomotive
engineers On all roads In the eastern
territory have made demands for a
general increase of wages ranging
from Is to 25 per cent The demands
involve all railroads east of Chicago
and north Of the line Of the Norfolk
and Western railway and Of the Ohio
river. Letters Of brotherhood officials
to presidents of the railroads demand
increased wages on varying scale,
the object being to standardize the
wage scale on all lines in this terri
tory, as was done by the trainmen and
conductors in 1910. The General Man
ayers association has been asked to
appoint a committee to negotiate with
the committee of the brotherhood.
Railroad men who have discussed the
new demand of the engineers believe
the time is inopportune for move
ment of this sort and are inclined to
think the railroads will not grant the
demands.
