For New Bridge TO Span the Big
White North East OF Here.

There is movement on foot to
build good substantial bridge across
the Big White River due south Of
Vivian, and we understand that the
Milwaukee railroad has agreed to con-
tribute SIS 600 toward the cost of the
structure and the town of Vivian has
also agreed to put up $500 of the
cost of the bridge. 1t is estimated
that such bridge would cost some
thing like $4,000 or $4,000, and
those behind the proposition are
going to ask Mellette and Lyman
county to stand the balance of the
cost. A good steel bridge construct
ed at this point would give Wood
competitive railroad facilities as it
would be as near or perhaps little
nearer to haul freight from Vivian on
the Milwaukee than it would be from
Winner on the Northwestern, and the
lOdI ilObl v lNIdll w NOOu us IIuCH
more level than the road from here to
Winner If the bridge is built there
is no question but what a good share
of the freight would come to Wood
via tlfe Milwaukee instead of the
Northwestern, this diversion cf freight
and passenger business would also
have tendency to -Cuse the officials
of the Northwestern and they would
probably get down to brass tacks and
really make some effort to extend the
Winner line on out into Mellette in
order to save the freight and passen-
ger business which would practically
all be diverted 20 the Milwaukee if
this bridge is built as proposed. We
are heartily in favor of the building of
the new bridge at the earliest pos
sible date. We believe it to be good
move for the betterment of the condi-
tons of the people of this county.

The Frick-Donner group wanted the

BELIEVES BODY
FOUND IN FIELD
LOST BROTHER

Clarence Lane, of this city, q mould
er, has gone to Logansport for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the
body Of a man found last Friday in
q field near that city is his brother.
John, missing for two months. He
wired to Coroner Quinn Of Carroll
county to hold the body until he had
examined 1t, stating his belief that 1t
was his brother.
John M. Shank. q farmer, found the
body in a cornfield while husking corn.
On many parts Of the body the flesh
had entirely disappeared. A .32-calibre
revolver, badly rusted. lay by the side
of the body, which lends color to the
theory that the man committed suicide.
A note among his effects was found.
which pead: II have NO friends and
don't care to i've" which further
strengthens the suicide theory.
The man had been dead probably q
month. according to the statements Of
those who saw the body and are IA
miliar with the time required for q
body to decompose.
He was fairly well dressed. A gold
watch was found on his person. The
number Of the case was 00.25O, and
the movement number los, ,603. He
wore a pair Of gold cuff links. and
had 1912 in money In his pockets.
which argues against the murder for
robbery theory. He wore a coat with
the name "Hillis & Skinner" worked
in the lining of the inside pocket.
Coroner Quinn of Carroll county
stated last night that the man prob
ably was so years of age. He wore
artificial teeth and was about six feet
in height.
