CENTRAL. CITY, May Sl.-(Speclal )-
Through rtadlng an account of the find

Neb., has made Investigations which he
believes establishes beyond a doubt that

Anderson, who dliappe:ired from Douglas,
Wyo., March 20. Anderson's home was at
Mudale, la., where he had a a wife living,
but he left her a few months ago and went
to work In Wyoming herding sheep. He
was about CO yea.s of age and was partly
demented. He took poison a few months
ago In a fruitless attempt to end his life
and the supposition now Is that he walked
out on the ico of the North riatte near
Douglas and shot himself through the
head and that his body floated down when
the Ice broke up. A large scar from u
carbuncle on the leg, a crosscut on the arm,
the make of the clothes and Hoe it and the
comb and knife found in the pockets
enabled Coates to positively identify the
man as his father-in-law. There could
have een little motive for murder as the
man presumably had no money and tne
position of the wounds on the head indicate
that he himself held the gun which caused
his death.

ing thirteen signatures, rendering the

To Load Hogs from Wagons.
The State Railway commission has writ
ten to the Burlington a very Insistent letter
that It proceed and fix up its affairs at
Halsey so that shippers may load hogs
. from wagons to the cars. The matter was
called to the attention of the commission
by L. A. Cox A Sons, who said it was lm
pA'f Ible to load hogs to the cars from
kagons because the railroad furnished no
chute. The commission looked Into the
case and found at some places chutes were
V provided and there aeemed to be no settled
rule governing the case. Rather than have
the farmers teach their hugs to Jump, the
commission thought It better try first to
have tha railroad furnish the chutes.
