authorities OF Huntingdon county
have begun a search for two unidenti-
fled men last seen coming from the
home of Peter Werner, in which Mrs.
Mildred Werner and her four children
were burned to death.

adjoining were destroyed by fire,
which is believed to have been start
ed by the men seen coming from the
Werner home.
From the condition of the bodies
1t could not be learned whether the
victims had been killed before the
house was fired.
Werner, the husband ard father, who
is employed at night, was at work
when he noticed flames in the direc-
ton of his home. With fellow work
men he rushed to the scene, but ar
rived too late. The house was in
ruins.
Later the five bodies were found
in the debris. Werner thinks the men
were burglars and entered the house
to obtain $3.50 which he had there.

Romantic Story of How They Deriv-
ed Their Name.

Pierre, April 30. - The depart
ment of history has made the first
official survey of the stone snake on
the buttes known as Snake but
tes," northwest of Pierre along the
Missouri, and the photographs TAX
en- Of the stones and the turtle. to-
gether with the dimension and de-
scription, will form a record in the
volume of collections of the depart
ment.
The total length of the snake"
is 2,731 feet. The length of the tur-
tie from head to tail is 1914 feet.
Briefly the story is told in volume
2 of the department of history col
lections by DR.. Thomas L. Riggs, of
Oahe. About four miles north of
Pierre there is a range of Missouri
bluffs along which, running nearly
parallel to the top, is a row of stones,
a mile or more in length. Small
piles of stones mark off irregular
spaces and there is a pile marking
the head and tail. Near the head of
the snake is a large turtle, which is
the gems mark or signature" to the
picture, which indicates that the In
dams of the turtle band made the
markings.
An old Sioux Indian related the
following story of the snake to DR..
Riggs: Years ago a venturesome
Indian came in search of scalps and
horses which he might steal from
his enemies, the Sioux, who were
there encamped. AS he secuted
among the breaks he was discover
ed at earliest dawn by a Sioux do
ing outpost duty. The Sioux prompt
ly shot his enemy, who turned and
ran, though wounded to the death.
The arrow had entered the hip in
such a way as to render the leg use
less. He ran, falling to the ground
again and again, and continued his
hopeless flight until oyertaken and
slain. The victorious Dakota was
filed with admiration for the en-
envy. That such astonishing spirit
and power of endurance might have
a fitting memorial, he retracing his
steps, placed a stone over each drop
of blood anu along the course where
the wounded man had fallen he gath
cred small piles of stones and larger
piles to show the starting in the race
and the end.
The old Sioux Indian, in walking
over the grounds and relating the
story to DR.. Riggs, stopped down
and picking up a stone set ii in the
line of the others, as his added trib-
ute. All of the stones in the snake
and turtle are well imbedded in the
| ground and have the appearance of
being there for a long time.
