Man is Burned to
Death in Hay Stack
Near North Platte
Presence Of Newly Made
Trench, Nearby, Gives Rise
To Belief That Victim
Was Murdered.

North Platte, Neb., Oct. 30.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)-The body of a man,
so badly burned that identification is
impossible, was taken from a burn
ing hay stack in field, three miles
southwest of here early today. The
discovery was made by several farm
crs who were attracted to the field by
the blazing stack
The body was taken in charge by
the sheriff and county attorney who
ordered it brought to morgue here,
County authorities spent the entire
day in an attempt to secure some
means of identifying the body, but so
far have failed.
The stack was located about mile
from the main travelled road, and the
presence near the stack of a newly
made trench gave the basis for the
belief that the man was murdered
and that his slayer intended to bury
him in the grave but later. concluded
to place the body in the hay stack
and set it afre.
Others, however, incline to the be-
lief that the body is that of tramp
who lighted cigaret, dropped to
sleep and that his cigaret fired the
stack

Irish Negotiations
Depend Upon Ulster

London, Oct. 30.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Efforts have been
made to prevent a breakdown in the
Irish peace conference, but con-
tinuance of the negotiations seems
to depend largely on the willingness
OF the Ulster authorities to assist in
coming into line with the Sim Fem.
Sir James Craig, Ulster premier
who has professed a desire to work
amicably with southern Ireland in
an all-lreland council, will, it is
said, be extended powers for the
northern parliament accompanied
by strengthening OF the position
of the council connecting the two
Irish parliaments, and it is declared
to be the belief that he may accept.
But, it is asserted, he will oppose
any curtailment of the area OF the
northern parliament.
The prevailing belief here seems
to be that even should there be a
breakdown in the conference, the
truce in Ireland would continue.
