brach of the Frenchman twelve miles
east, and flvo miles south of Sterling last
Sunday evening, Will Thum struck what
he supposed to be a dead wolf, or some
domestic animal, but upou further inves
tigation he found it to be the head of a
person. Upon further investigation he
found the entire body of a man. The
body was covered up aud word brought
to Sterling to Coroner-Martin. He started
from here about ten o'clock Monday
morning and had a jury summoned and
held an inquest Monday evening. The
jury's verdict was that the man came to
his death by a blow al the hand of un
known parties. The unfortunate man was
five feet nine inches in height, dark, com
plexion, heavy dark beard and brown hair.
He weighed. aJwut. hundred and.
fifty pounds, and. was. of Tather slender
build. So comuletemnd dastardly was the
attack made by the party or parties who
did the killing that it ..seems the' were
not satisfied with crushing iu the side of
his head, but cut two horrible gashes in
his throat, each severiug his windpipe.
His outside clothing was then taken off,, a
blanket wrapped around the body, a strap
tied around his neck, one around his.arms,
and also one around his feet. A hole was
then dug in the sand near the creek and
the body placed therein and covered up
There being about six inches of sand on
top of the body. Mr. Thum noticed that
there, and supposed it to be a place where
he had dug and found water some time
ago. Thus it was by mere accident that
he found the body of this unfortunate
man, the cause of his death is as myster
ious as the Ouding was accidental. About
ten rods from where the body was fouud,
and a short distance from the road
leading from Hyde, were evidences of a
fire aud upondoser examination. a piece
oPJartly burned cloth was found which
showed plainly that the man's clothes had
been burned. A few feet from where the
clothing" had been burned was found a
gravelly spot which was found to bej
mixed with blood.
The general of the army, in his annual
report, favors an increase of the army by
5,000 men and the extention to the state
militia of all the facilities necessary to its
development into efficient soldiery.
Probably both suggestions are good, and
certainly the latter is timely. If the
regular army was increased enough to
establish efficient posts at the large and
important cities, it would result in an
increased business confidence and allay
to a considerable extent the fear of
violence in the face of anarchistic preach
ings and general .strikes. The national
government can well afford, also, to ex
tend to the states all the encouragement
an aid necessary to regular encampments,
and thus promote a harmony between the
volunteer soldiery of the country and 'the
regular, army. . General Sheridan's ideas
on this subject will receive wide popular
approval and ought to command the atten
tion of congress.
The Alarm, the Anarchist paper former
ly edited by Parsons, is still in existence
and is still howling fora "free press.'
There is a "free press" iu this country
now. It consists of independent, reput
able and progressive journals which give
all the news and express all the opinions
which may be properly expressed
without defaming personal character or
undermining organized society. When a
paper defames character it is responsible
under the law, when it attacks society it is
responsible to public opinion, and when
it incites murder and the destruction of
property it is responsible to the criminal
courts. The "free press" of the country
demand these conditions for its own pro
tection against depredations of irresponsi
ble and guerrilla papers.
When the entrees was reached Mr
Depew. was sounded on the labor question.
"The hour aud the man will arrive," said
he, "in which and by which this exciting
labor question will be solved. As the
result of my long observation in the em

not unneara ot manner, which from all
the information that can bo obtaiued at
this time was about as follows: Mr.
Windsor in company with other neighbors
who were assisting, was engaged during
the forenoon Tuesday in repairing a pump
which made it necessary to send some one
to water the horses, at a well, not far
distant, which is located within an en
closure, fenced with barb wire. The boy
Irviu, was placed upon a norse, and the
halter straps of two mules given him.
Upon the horse he rode was a halter, the
strap of which lie held in his hand, the
other being used to hold the mules.
While going to the well the mules and
horse he rode, it appears became umnau
ageble and a runaway occured. It is
supposed that while going at great speed
the horse he rode collided with the barb
wire fence, throwing the boy and falling
upon his body. He: was found by Mrs
Windsor, his step mother in an unconscious
state about twenty minutes after he started
to water the horse and mules. Dr. Line
was summoned, who upon arriving exert

to consciousness, but without avail, as he
died about 2 o'clock, five hours after he
was injured. Ogallala News.

sober and economical own their own

industry are dead or dead broke. One

In speaking of the probable changes.to
be made in the in the inter state commerce
law at the coming session of congress,
Senator Cullom recently said : "The law
will undoubtedly be changed, and the
subject will continue to be.legislated upon
until maximum freight and passenger
rates are fixed by law. I do-not think
the action of the present, commission: m to
tbe long and short haul clause- has
amounted to much, but it has been
valuable as a collector of statistics aud of
information about the railroads. It may
be that we will at some time regulate the
telegraph rates of the United States in the
same way and I think that the passage of
such a law would be muchbetter than the
taking of tho telegraphs into the hands of
the government. The daywill have to
come when the prices of telegrams and
the rates of both passenger and freight
traffic will be fixed by congress.

"Can't you say something pleasautto

They had had a little quarrel, and he

The fact that the United States govern
ment is calling in bonds and redeeming
them has attracted some attention abroad
it seems. There has been received at the
treasury department quite a novel com

Berlin He states that he has in his pos
session quite a large number of bonds
issued by the Confederate States of
America, and after much persuasion by
his friends he has consented to offer
$10,000 worthjjf them for redemption.

Ou Thursday morning Lawrence Hazeu
who lives on Lawrence Porks, arrived in
Sidney to summon a physician to attend
his wife, who had taken an overdose of
strychnine about 6 o'clock that morning
with suicidal intent. Dr. Field accompan
ied him home, but on arrival they learned
from friends that the poison had done its
fatal work about 9 o'clock. Coroner Cotter
was notified and went out and viewed the
remains, but thought it unnecessary to hold
an inquest, as the cause of her death was
conclusively shown. The deceased was
young and pretty and had only been
married since last Jauuary, but has been
in a despondent state of mind for some
weeks past. The remains were brought
to town, and will be buried this afternoon
at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church.

A. A. Cohen, secretary of the Central
and Southern Pacific railroads, who was
enroute to San Francisco, in his private
car, was suddenly taken with appoplexy,
just before the train arrived at Sidney.
Drs. Ewen and Birney were called, but
very little assistance, as the gentleman
was beyond recovery, and diedshortljr
after the train left Sidney. The doctors
accompanied the remains as far as Kim
ball, where they telegraphed to Cheyenne
for a casket. The deceased is a million

circles all over the country. He was ac

almost prostrated with grief at their great

assume as a general thing that he means

With as strong a candidate in 1888 as
they had in 1880, the Republicans will
have a far better chance of carrying New

have with Cleveland. Any one of two or

would be as strong in that state as Garfield
was, and he carried it by over 21,000

What has been called "typhoid fever"
has been prevailing for a month past all
over Southern and Central Ohio. The
wisest physicians, however, assert that it
is not "typhoid," but a fever resulting from
the heat of the long summer and the pro
tracted drought. The oldest inhabitant
does not remember when water was so
scarce. The last rains in all that section
to amount to anything were in June. The
sickness, while it has frightened the peo
ple and caused them to use extra pre
cautions in boiling all the water used, has
not been of a fatal character, and doubtless
will speedily disappear with a change of
weather.
