importation in musical successes in
which Lulu CHASER will be seen at
the Grand theater, April 4.
Miss Dudlesack" comes with the
promise that its presentation will be
one of the most ambitious light opera
performances of the season. In Ell
rope it enjoyed such vogue that it
has been presented in every large
continental city. Miss Dudlesack'
is an operetta, unusual in story and
setting and melodious to a degree.
It's scenes are laid in Scotland and a
strong vein of Scottish romance and
sentiment is always in evidence 1t

lifting beauty of the Viennee style
The Scotch locale of the operetta
also gives opportunity for stage set
tings of unusual elaborateness. A

Many Athletes In Olympic Games.

The victories of American athletes
in past Olympian games have been so
consistent that every other competing
country is making special efforts to
break the chain Of triumphs at the
coming games at Stockholm next
July. 1t is expected that entries for
the track and field events will be re
ceived from close to tWoscore nations
and subsidiary territories.
1t is evident, therefore. that the
American team for the 1912 Olympic
meet will have to be bigger and beg
ter than ever before in order to main
tain the supremacy and status aehiey-
ed in the preceding games. Close fol-
lowers Of athletics in this country be-
lieye that the mammoth meet of next
summer viii be more closely contested
than ever before and that new Olyn-
pic records will be established in a
number OF events.

SHOT FOR MONEY;

Snow Ever Since

Sykeston, Jan. 27.-The %coroner's
Investigation here yesterday into the
death of the man who was found the
early part Of the week disclosed the
fact that the deceased was John I<ut-
man. He was found on the Christ

OF here. Tenants on the Smith farm

when the driver noticed a form lying
at full length q short distance among
the trees and partially covered With
snow.
Immediate investigation was made
but the face was so covered with snow
and ice that recognition was impossi-
BILE. The affair was reported to the

search of the entire community vas
made to find Il clue as to Who the
young man was but no one was re-
ported missing.
BY order of Coroner Niles the re-
mains were taken to an undertaking.
establishment where the inquest was
held. When the snow and ice was re-
moved, the remains were identified as
those of John kaufman. Il young man
of Polish descent. 1t later developed
that he had met with foul play, as -
large bullet wound was found at ~
back OF the head.
John kaufman was we'll known in
and around Sykeston. having bee en-
ployed by different farmers last fall.
He came here early in HI season and
in company with friends of his W
nationality from Indiana, they work.
ed together till the close of the
threshing seaso when they intended
to go to Chicago to work in the car
shops.
kaufman had in his possession at
that time about $l7O. He and a
friend We're last seen on October &c,
having purchased Il box of cartridges.
and some crackers and cheese for a
lunch. 1t is supposed that they were
on their way to a shack five miles
from here where they formerly lived,
and where the shooting occurred.
Evidently someone was passing the
grove at the time as the young mar
was shot when his hac was turned,
the bullet, of "S calibre. entering at
the base of the skull. Evidence
shows that the body was then dragged
about 40 feet from the road I'M the
grove Whatever valuables he had in
his possession were taken, including
his watch and money.
Although the evidence is purely
circumstantial suspicion 1t points
strongly towards the young mans
friend as being the murderer. There
cen in the grove since the night Of
October %. but the remains We're per-
fectly preserved not even being
molested by dogs or wolves.
This is the first time Sykeston has
experienced such an affair and the
community is greatly excited over the
affair which is surrounded in mystery.
