When Lee Shepherd was killed Ward's horse was out at pasture which accounts for his body being found on tbe premises. It believed by many, that the several disappearances charged to Ward will never be proven by finding dead bodies of the lost ones about his house. He was too cunning for that and could easily have carried a body ten miles in his buggy before disposing of it, he so decided. In relation to the disappearance of George Rutgers, the mining man who was known to have about 3800 on his person when last seen with Ward the reporter is reminded that Imme diately after this disappearance. Ward in company with Harley Sheppard went to New York City and Paris.

They must have spent considerable money as they were gone about two months. Ward seldom earned any thing but on the contrary was always spending money on his claims.

30, the famous Tapper murder trial will take place. Andrew Tapper will be tried for the murder of Miss Rosa Mlxa at Carver, this county, June 3 last. Miss Mixa was the servant girl oi John Leonard, proprietor of the Busier hotel at Carver. On June 3 she was engaged in washing, when Tapper, who had been in the employ of Leonard as bartender and hostler, entered the room to help her bring in the water. An outcry was heard by Mrs.

Leonard, who was in the dining room. She at once summoned her husband and they went to the scene with nil speed, and, upon opening the door, beheld Miss Mixa in the last agoniees of death. The murdtrer stood over her with a large jack-knife from which the blood of the girl was trickling. Tapper forbade Mr. and Mrs.

Leo nard entering the room and threatened them if they did so. Mrs. Ionard ran to the street and called for help and at once citizens came. Tapper meanwhile had gone to the riven, intending to drown himself, but failed and returned to the hotel to inquire it Miss Mixa was yet dead. Tapper at once started for Chaska with the intention of giving himself up, but when below Carver Park he again plungel Into tbe river.

His nerve fail ed him again and he hurried to Chaska and gave himself up to the sheriff. It was known that at a picnic the Sunday before, Tapper insulted the girl and she would not forgive him and lost all respect for him. Tapper became jealous of her, and every young man who spoke or danced with her incurred his enmity. Jealously was undoubtedly the cause of the murder. Miss Mlxa was 18 years old and was respected by everybody.

Tapper is alMMit 25 years old. LABOR UNION OFFICERS.

Dr. W. S. Lewis, President of Morning Side College at Sioux City. URGES YOUNG PEOPLE TO Get College Education at All Hazards.

If every young man and young lady within the city of Lead could have heard the address of Dr. Lewis last evening there would be several hundred of our young people making plans, and preparations for going to college this winter, who are now holding jobs In the mines or mills or in some business institution. If these young people could be made to appreciate that it is their golden opportunity to acquire that known as education even at the cost of losing present position and working thtir way through school, they wouldn't hesitate one moment to avail themselves of the advantages offered by the best schools in our country. America has the greatest thinkers of any nation on earth and if the seat of thought, the brain, is not cultivated to the highest de- cu it not produos the hist if thought. i Among other thoughts touched on by Dr.

Lewis was that the monied men of today are more sincerely in earnest in the assisting of public institutions than ever before and the religion of Andrew Carnegie, that its a disgrace to die rich, Is becoming more prevalent every day. He spoke of numerous young men and young ladles who had entered and gone through college with no money except what they had earned while taking their course and becoming leaders among leading people. Dr. Lewis preaches Sunday morning in the opera house and will doubtless fill that large auditorium. M.
