BODY OF ONE Of
MORRISON BOYS IS
FOUND IN MISSOURI
Remains DisCOVeredOn
Sand Bar Near
Sioux City.
O MURDER CASE
Money and Valuables Found
On Body.-Believed Car
Went in River.
NOT MURDER CASE

Sioux City, lathe body of Clar-
ence Morrison, VINO, with his brother
Henry Morrison, disappeared on July
8 while on a trip to Sioux City from
Niborg, S. d., to deliver a motor car,
was found by fishermen yesterday al
ternoon on a sandbar in the Missouri
river three miles west of here. The
body of Henry Morrison has not been
found.
Identification of the body of Clar-
ence Morrison was made by his broth
er, Arthur Morrison, who arrived in
Sioux City last night. The body was
badly decomposed but was recognized
from articles found in the clothing
No inquest was held.
Murder Theory Shattered
Relatives are confident the motor
car driven by the Morrisons plunged
into the river at some point between
Viborg and Elk Point. The murder
theory that had been advanced was
dispelled when SIG, a gold watch and
other valuables We're found on the
body. The watch had stopped al
2:25 O'Clock. AS a part of the road
way hat has been eaten by the Miss
ouri river is about three hours distant
from Viborg by motor car and the
Morrison boys left Niborg at II
O'Clock, the theory hat they ran theil
automobile over the embankment and
into the river is s%ubstantiated.
No Trace of Automobile
No rae has been found of the
automobile. 1t is thought that Hen
ny Morrison, who vas driving the car
was pinned under the steering whee,
found.
Half the reward of $500 for the
finding of the two bodies will be PAID
TO the fishermen who found the body
of Clarence Morrison. A reward OF
1000 had been offered for the find.
ing of the young men alive.
The discovery of the body clears
up one of the most mysterious dis
appearances in recent years. The
theories that the boys had been muir
dered or had run away were rife
Hundreds of searchers, including The
police of Sioux City and Omaha anG
private detectives, have searched fol
the bodies for the last eighteen days
Last Seen July
Henry Morrison, age %, town mar
shall of Viborg, and his brother, Clar
ence, age 20. started for Sioux Cit,
in an automobile Thursday, July Bird
They were to deliver the car in Siou!
City where they planned to spend thu
4th. Until last evening no word hat
been heard of them since. The coun
TRY has been searched in all direc
lions since that time and the relative
of the young men offered $1,000
reward for their discovery alive an
$500 for their dead bodies.
Neither of the young men is mar
ried. They lived with their mothe
in Viborg and were highly respected
The elder of the two was an efficien
guardian of the peace and the young
er had worked at odd jobs about hi
home town for years. The finding @
Clarence's body bears up the theor
of the officers that the men had fol
sowed an abandoned road near Ell
F'ointwhich leads to the river ban
and plunged into the river with thei
machine.

UNTRUE STORIES
ARE BEING TOLD
MAN LOOKING FOR WORK HERR,
MAKES COMPLAINT OF FALSE
REPORTS OF ABUNDANT
WORK.

There seems to be no doubt but
that many station agents and news
paper men il the east are giving out
false reports as to conditions in this
vicinity and the great demand for
work here. Recently a man by the
name of Hardman came to The Re-
publican office and asked for infor-
nation concerning work in the fields
He was referred % the office of the
county register OF deeds where farm
ers needing help, are supposed to file
their names. Hardman went there
and found thai he was not needed in
this section.
He became somewhat riled over the
conditions and wrote the following
letter, which is self explanatory to the
editor of the Sioux City Tribune:
Narumun'S Letter.
mitchell. S. d. Editor Tribune:
You may recall the incident of three
men making inquiry of you in regard
to the Dakota wheat harvest. ear
the 'front.' entrance of your building
on the morning of July Is. | was one
of the trio.
In this town of Mitchell there are
fully 300 men waiting for employ
ment in the harvest fields and many
of them are out of money. On the day
before we arrived the police rounded
up about 100 of these men, drove
them to the railroad station like so
many cattle and put them aboard a
north bound freight train.
The cal trouble is that we are
two weeks too early for the harvest
activities in this section. SO far as |
am able to ascertain the harvest
prospects are fairly good, but there
are plenty of men distributed along
this line to do the work. 1t is wrong
for the railroad agents to give out
that wages of 50 to Sc Il day can be
secured when no such conditions
exist.
Now and then an applicant for
work finds a place at 50 TO $3.50 a
day and is glad TO get that much. If
the harvest hands keep coming at the
present rate the country will be fairly
flooded with idle men and suffering
fellows, a condition which some one
should try to avert. | am writing this
to save some poor working man from
getting stranded here and forced to
tramp it out.-Sam w. Hardman.'
Part of it True.
What Hartman in his letter says is
true. The police here are loading
from so to 100 men onto north bound
freights nearly every day and send
ing them on to the bigger harvest
fields in the great northwest. They
all claim they are looking for work
II is probable however, that Hard
man is an exception and there is al
average of about n out of ten wht
would really take work if they coult
get it. They are about a week to-
early for the bid demand here al
though many farmers now are pick
ing up likely looking men to put il
the fields. Reports from Mt. Vernon
today say that men are in demand
there. 1t is a problem and the mali
trouble seems to be that eastern of
ficers are telling the men OF the vas
amount of work in this section
in order to get them off their hand
and out of their own cities.

RUN OVER BY BINDER
BUT ESCAPES A

Wagner, S. D.-A. G.. Anderson, a
we'll known farmer living some miles
from town, was the first victim of the
present harvesting season in South
Dakota. He had a remarkably mar
row escape from a horrible death
when his horses ran away while he
was operating a binder. He lost his
balance and fell to the ground and
the binder was drawn completely
over him, cutting and bruising him
severely. Had the binder not been
drawn clear of him just at the instant
it was he would have been crushed to
death.

Uncommon Operation
Performed at Hospital

Mrs. John White, of Gearing, who
common operation, and the first one
OF it's kind ever performed at ST.
Thomas hospital is making steady
recovery It is expected that she will
be able to leave the hospta! in a week
or two. Mrs. White had been suffering
for a long time with an ulcer in the
pylorus, or outlet OF the stomach,
which compelled her to subsist on a
liquid diet.
The operation, which was performed
by DR.. r. R. Hansen, is called CASTRO
enterostomy, meaning the establishing
Of communication between the stom-
ach and the intestnes at a point more
or less distant from the outlet of the
stomach. In this case an incision was
made in the cardiac end, or lower part
of the stomach, and an incision was
made in the jejunum, section of the
intestine. The intestine was sewed to
the stomach to form union of the
intestine and stomach at the incisions
and create an artificial outlet for the
stomach.
The connection with the intestine
was made at a point about sixteen
inches from the outlet Of the stomach.
This portion of the intestine is cut out
from performing its ordinary function.
The ulcer. being relieved of the irrita-
ton caused by food passing over it, is
expected to heal. Mrs. White is
now able to eat solid food, something
she has not been able to do for a year.
This operation is frequently per-
formed in the large hospitals, but is
not so common in the smaller ones.
