MURDER
Mystery in Black Hills Expected to
Be Solved in the Spring.

Spearfish, Jan. 22.-An old mine
shaft near Terry is believed to hold
the evidence OF a murder mystery.
AT the bottom is thought to be the
body of a missing man, but as the old
shaft is filled with water, which now
Is frozen, no investigation can be
made until the ice melts and the
water is drained away.
The missing man Is George II. Gid
dings, the aged father of Clyde Gid
dings Of Arpan. About two months
ago he left for Virginia. He had Wis
tied for several months with his
South Dakota son. The old man went
from Spearfish TO Deadwood, expect
ing at the latter city to take a Bur-
lington train.
Several weeks later Sheriff True
of Lawrence county was notified by
the Burlington railway agent at
Deadwood that a trunk and several
suitcases and bags. each bearing the
name of George ii. Giddings, but
with no address, had been in the sta
ton there since November A.
AS the elder Giddings. who raj
wealthy. was known to have had a
large sum of cash with him, il is
feared he met with foul play in Dead
wood or vicinity.
1t now is recalled by the authori-
ties that at about the time of the dis
appearance of Giddings, the Black
Hills newspapers published a story
that a young man who vas in the vi
cinity of the old mine shaft near
Terry one evening had seen the body
of a mar lying neal the road. The
young man was examining it with
the aid of a lighted match when he
was accosted by two strangers, who
ordered him to chit the pike"
This young man shortly afterward
was taken i'll and has since died, but
| upon lei occasions during his
illness and before his death he in
| sisted that he had not been mistaken
in his grewsome discovery. As no
| one was missing from the Black Hills
so far as known at that time, the
Lawrence county officials placed lit
tie credence in the young mans
story and made only a superficial in
vestigation.
Now they are convinced il was the
| body of the Virginia man that the
Young man saw in the road, and that
| after he had been driven away the
murderers carried the body to the old
Imine shaft and threw il into the
cavity.

may recall the incidents Of long age
very clearly, but they also have rea
and very clear view OF the future estate
and the mind turns very naturally from
thoughts OF the past to thoughts OF the
| future.
Paul, after taking up the work OF
christian minister, soon discovered that
there really was no one place in which
his work would permit him to continue
for long, and even in the cities which
he visited he found the work of disso-
luton and decay everywhere, and very
soon came to the realization that all
created excellencies must perish, and
Just as clearly realized that it would be
fruitless effort to discover a permanent
abiding place in earth. He must look
somewhere else for that.
As we have followed the history oil
people and nations we have time and
again been disappointed to see them
suddenly perish, when every material
evidence seemed to indicate continued
existence. We have proven over and
over the truthfulness OF the statement
contained in the text.
But what shall We find in that city
we seek? To begin with we shall find a
city of many mansions. We no doubt
have many times been struck with the
beauty of great city with its mansions.
We have perhaps paid attention to the
many architectural ideas that have been
worked into these mansions, but have
you ever stopped to think OF a city
whose architect and builder is God?
I'VE shall find our friends there and
renew relationships that were severed
by death. We shall find our children
there, laughing and playing in the
streets. And we shall know them. We
shall know each other. / am sure we
shall not know less in Heaven than we
do on earth, and since we know each
other here, am sure we shall also know
each other there. But we will not merely
know those whom we knew on earth,
but we shall know everybody there.
"And then there shall be music every
where. When we shall hear that great
choir of hundred and forty and four
thousand voices singing the anthems
of heavenly praise we shall stand enrap-
tured, for if the music of human voices
with their human faults, and at their
best, limited, is capable of stirring us
to the depth OF our hearts, what shall
their powers be when those voices shall

OLD FOLKS SERVICE
DRAWS LARGE CROWD
SpecialService in Cumberland Pres
byterian Church Here.

Last Sunday was set apart by the con-
eregation and pastor for special service
dedicated to the old folks, and the oc-
casion was in all respects memorable
one.
In the first place the day was bright,
and Notwithstanding the temperature a
large crowd was out, including repre-
sentative number of the elderly people
of Union City and vicinity. Some in
the audience were upwards of eighty and
one or two even ninety years of age.
Mrs. Jonathan Harris, one OF the old
est Cumberland Presbyterians in the
county, was there. So was Mrs. s. A.
Harrison, pioneer resident of Union
City, and many other ladies of younger
generation. The old men we're there
too and everyone was especially pleased
with his or her welcome and the spirit
OF service.
The church was beautifully decorated
by Miss Annie Little and her assistants,
with ferns and flowers and golden glow
an large cut-glass bowls. Naturally one
OF the most attractive auditoriums in
the city, it was especially and impress
sively attractive on this occasion.
The minister, Rev. c. NJ. Zwingle,
lined the hymns and old revival songs,
which we're revived especially for this
occasion, and the audience sang them
in concert without the organ.
Rev. Zwingle was heard in one of his
best efforts in Union City. The sermon
is summarized below as follows;
For here we have no continuing city,
but seek one to come. Heb. 1914
1t is said that young people live in
the future, and old people live in the
past. This is quite true from some
standpoints, but when we turn to the
religious feelings of the old people we
shall find that they live in the future
more largely than in the past. Their
thoughts of the past are but index fin
gers pointing to the future. AS they re-
count the conflicts Of the past, they con-
meet them with the hour ia the future
which will bring cessation of conflicts
and the real fruits of victory. They

No. IA and contents last night did
damage of we'll over $1,0OO,OO0, it was
estimated today. D. Williams, a long
shoreman, is held as suspect and is
being questioned by the police.
One theory is that German sympath-
izers started the fire because the
S230,0O0 worth of merchandise destin-
ed for Russian ports was stored on the
dock. Another is that Japanese might
have caused the fire because of hatred
for the Chinese crews of the Blue

damage to the pier is estimated at
100000. The fire is the third incen-
diary attempt on the dock this week.
