st: Cannot get insheet to work, data do not load properly

I have a long dataset (1.7m observations) that I can view partially in
excel and fully in text editors.
However when I go to insheet it in Stata the data load as all blank
entries except the first cell, which always loads as " ˇ˛X "
where X is the first character of the first line of the data.
See screen capture at
goo.gl/zaesv7
The number of variables and observations are correct but they are ALL MISSING.
The code I am using, as seen in pic link above, are variations on
insheet using "Res Usage 2008 to 2010.txt", names tab clear
Thoughts? Thanks!
