HUMAN BONES HINT TRAGEDY.

HUMAN BONES HINT TRAGEDY.
Wlliston, N. d., Dec. 22.-What was
evidently the funeral pyre of an I'M
known murder victim, was discovered
by two hunters near the bank of the
Missouri river, in the northwestern
part of Mckenzie County.
The authorities were notified and
Sheriff Ellickson left Immediately for
the scene. He returned with guam
tity of small pieces of charred, human
bones, barely sufficient to fill an ordi-
nary cigar box, some dozen buttons,
a cuff link, a collar button, and jack
t knife which he had collected from the
ashes where some time this summer
huge fire had been burning for
hours.
The gruesome collection is now in
the Office of States Attorney Con-
verse at Shafer. Pieces of suspender
buckles, metal overall buttons, the cuff
link and collar button, and the size
of the bones indicate that the victim
was man of mature age. The over
all buttons we're stamped with the
words "Can't Bust EN-" The cuff
link is ornamented with horseshoe
and piece of riding crop inlaid in a
circular piece Of glass. The knife has
a handle of bone and metal and a
blade about three inches long. The
blade of the knife was open when
found by the sheriff. Stamped on
both sides of the metal part of the
knife are the Roman characters,
"IXL."
The most important discovery made
by Sheriff Ellickson was quantity of
chips scattered on the ground be-
tween the river and the bed of ashes.
These chips were cut from fir ,lum-
Der. This find indicates that at least
part of the fuel used to destroy the
body, and possibly the body itself was
taken to the place in boat. The
boat evidently came down stream
from near the Montana line or beyond.
Williston, about the only place where
fir lumber could be obtained, is some
ten miles or more down the river
from the scene of the crime. To row
a boat up the river that distance
would require many hours Of very
hard labor.
The person who committed the hor-
rible deed took extraordinary pains
and an abundance Of time in an ef-.
fort to destroy all evidence. Aside
from keeping the fire going for many
hours, the man must have stayed in
the vicinity until the heap Of fuel was
entirely consumed. He then care
fully collected the small pieces ,of
bones and other articles that were not
wholly destroyed by. the fire and coy
cred them with sand. The intense
heat Of the fire had converted the
sand to glass and the wonder is that
any small part Of the body escaped be-
ing burned to ashes. s.
Since returning to Schafe r, Sheriff
Ellickson has been notified Of tie dis.
covery of sunken boat in tRee river
not far from where ths chips 1w were
carried from the river to the, fire. il
is anticipated that the boat, which
will be raised in a day or two, will
furnish some tangible clue to the mys-
terry,

Potatoes Yield 5000 an Acre.

Greeley.-Superior methods and soil
will produce in Colorado this fall a
yield of potatoes at least fifty per
cent better an acre than the average
for the nation. The best growers in
this state will net about 5000 an acre,
while it is doubtful if the average
grower in the nation will reach 800.
Potatoes are worth 81 a hundred
now, with prospects that the price
will reach 50 hundred before spring.
Ther are 10000 acres in potatoes in
this state this year, and the latest
crop estimate of the Department of
Agriculture shows a shortage of 100,-
100000 bushels in the nation.
The average yield of potatoes in
Colorado is 5000 pounds an acre,
while the average for the country is
only 5000 pounds. Lou d. Sweet of
Carbondale, who is said to have the
best potato farm in the United States,
declares that he knows of seven
acre farm in his neighborhood that
will turn out an average of 10000
pounds an acre this fall.
