The Doe .Mmrdcr and suiciac.

The Grand Forks Herald has these partic-
ulars of the bloody affair noted by telegraph:
The atrocious murder of Mrs. Moe was last
front of Deputy Sheriff Cranes place, two
miles south of Arvilla, by the suicide of Moe,
who while Sheriff jerks was in the act of
getting out of the wagon. snatched his revOl-
yer from his hip pocket and shot himself in
the forehead, causing instant death. Moe
had been captured about fifteen minutes be-
fore Sheriff jerks and DR.. Rounvells arrived
at the orphaned home in Lind. He had wan
dered three days ON the prairie after killing
his wife aud said he knew he would be
hanged and concluded TO come in and sur
render. The people who were watching the
body saw him come through the posture OPP
posite the branch, and had difficulty IL cap
turing him. Soon after he was secured the
sheriff came, and the body of the woman and
Moe were taken over to Northwood, where
an inquest was held. Moe gave an account
of the deed. He said that he talked the kill
ing over with his wife and they were each to
kill the other She refused, however, and
stood up in front of him and he used razor
to cut her throat. The razor with
blood on it was found on Moe. After
he had killed her he covered her
among the willows, put the children to bed
and raised the signal. The children did not
recognize him ON account of his disguise.
| The verdict was rendered accordingly and
| the citizens inferred the remains of the de-
ceased woman and took charge of tho chill
dren. The sheriff and DIR. Rounsvell then
took Moe and brought him to Larimore, and
thence to Deputy Sheriff Cranes farm about
two miles south of Arvilla. Dr. Rounsvell
and Sheriff jerks occupied the front seat and
| Moe the hind seat with one arm in the hand
of the sheriff. He seemed to be very quiet
and thoughtful, raising his hand 20 his head
as if in deep meditation. The sheriff appre-
hended no trouble and when they halted al
Cranes, the sheriff got up and jumped down.
As he arose he felt Juggling at his side but
supposed the doctor had been sitting on his
coat. He had just ALT, however, when he
was startled By pistol report aud turning
quickly, put his hand on his hip and bis pis-
toll was gone. At the same instant the team
started and Moe fell forward into the sheriff's
arms without groan, he having seized the
pistol and shot himself IN the forehead He
expired instantly, and in falling, his leg go
into the wheel but was disengaged by The
sheriff. The dead murderer was left Their,
and the sheriff came in last night to take the
coroner out, who held an inonest on the bod,
to-day.

The Howard Farmer expresses about the
run of sentiment in the south on the dele
gate matter in this: ''Of the $50 delegates
to seats in the convention south Dakota has
$50. Should the Black Hills counties
Lawrence, Pennington and Custer-which
together will have a representation of thirty
one in the convention, be gobbled up by
north Dakota-a transaction not at all
probabe-that portion of the territory south
of the 46th parallel will still have majority.
Let the most available man in south Dakota
be put in nomination for delegate to con-
gress and all pull together, and the north
Dakota bosses will go home with flea in
both ears. The 'cow counties have played
second fiddle to No. l hard about long
enough. Let south Dakota send delegates
! to the Pierre convention who are loyal to her
and all will be well.n The Jim River Journal
in Dickey county, strongly supports Hon. G.
o. Williams for delegate, and says of him:
''While representing the GAINESVILLE, WiscOn-
sin, district in congress, he was considered
an orator to have only one equal in the west,
the brilliant and lamented Senator Carpen-
| ter He enjoys the intimate acquaintance
and friendship of all snch men as James G.
Blaine, John A. Logan, Thomas A. Hen
bricks, and all our present leaders in con-
gress. With such man representing Da-
kota in the halls of congress, we believe she
would be felt, and her interests always
Needed" He would be great contrast to
| the present member, who is said to be unable
to make a speech. Some think the repre-
sentative of 400, 900 people should be able to
talk on his feet.

HE HAD A PASS.
And He Was Advised to Pass on, to
MinneanOliS.

Oh, the brave charge he made;
Oh, the good grub he Stayed,
Never a cent ne paved,
Much to their wonder
Baked beans to right of him,
Sausage and sauer kraut, all disappeared
AS he cried s'stand from underr'
He walked like one alone; the lights were
out, the banquet hall deserted. Yes, patient
and long suffering reader, he walked into
the court room, glanced at the empty bull
pen, and with an air that almost said, 81
despise this desolation," he walked out again
where the blue canopy and the free lunch
counter awaited him. He bore the illustri-
Gus name of Jones, and he greeted the
charge Of vagrancy with a whitening smile.
The idea of him being lunch fiend, he ex
postulated; why, he had just came in on
tie pass, but not because he could not ride if
he wanted to; the president of the road was
his old college friend, and had given him an
annual pass over the Break Your Neck rail-
road, but he walked for his health because
his physician told him he was getting too ro-
bust, and was in danger of appoplexy. That
is the kind of man he was.
''How did you come to be in free lunch
saloon" said hizzoner.
Easy enough, TO be sure; just walked
in to see how business was; YOU see, your
honor, had tip ON the place and was
thinking about buying it out for friend. F"
GLOW soon do you think you can square
up your business and get out of town." said
the court.
''Let me see-I have an engagement at
the bank at 10; it is now 9; the air train
goes at II O'Clock, and 1 think 1 can make
it.''
The court told him to 60, and he skipped.
The only other cases were those of two
brewers, Bruggerman and Yocrg; they were
charged with keeping pigs in the city limits,
and as Bruggerman had sold his swine the
case against him was dismissed, the other
case being continued TO the 9th.

MENDOZA, Sept. 4, 1SS3.-The great
reaper has again visited US, sickle in hand,
and cut down in the flower aud vigor of
maidenhood one of the most beloved and
popular young ladies of this place, Miss Jo-
hanna Hayes. Miss Hayes attended the
convent schools in this place about ten years
and was great favorite with the sisters and
pupils, her charming manners and modesty
gaining her numerous friends everywhere.
There she received that excellent moral and
religious traiuing which afterwards bore
fruit and ripened into a rich and glittering
harvest.
The deceased was only II years old, was
endowed with fine mental qualities, and was
bright gem in society, being well educated,
accomplished, and very affable. She will be
greatly missed.
She died at an early hour on Thursday,
Aug. 2S, when the spirit broke its shackles
and scared aloft maiestically, unfettered
and free from restraint, to its ethereal home
of perennial bliss. Numerous floral offer
ings, among which was large Celtic cross
of rare design, were placed on the hand
some casket which encased the remains
The funeral service was very solemn and i'm
pressive. Deep sympathy is felt for the family
and Mrs. Hayes, mother of the deceased is in
consolable. NJ. HAGGERTY.

but have caused no disturbance, and but few
arrests have been made.

crossing rapidly. Several new buildings are
being erected. The fence about the grounds
is being repaired, additions and repairs are
being done on the exposition building built
last year; eating houses and booths put in

The city council met last evening at city
hall, and after the regular routine of bust
ness the local state fair committee, who were
present, asked for an appropriation for the
purpose of helping to defray the expenses of
some improvements necessary to be made
on the fair grounds. and Of decorating the
city. After some discussion $500 was ap-
propriated and will be placed in the commit
tees hands for that purpose, which, with
what they already have on hand, was thought
sufficient for that purpose.
Rev. L. J. Dinsmore, pastor OF the Uni

A severe thunder storm passed over this
country yesterday. The rain was not heavy,
but the lightning was exceedingly sharp and
followed quickly by heavy claps of thunder
that caused the nervous to duck their heads
and hurry on as they passed down the street
Cornelius Larson, OF Simon, in this county,
while blowing in the field was struck by
lightning and instantly killed, and his horses,
which he was driving, were also killed, while
the same bolt struck and burned three wheat
stacks that stood in the same field, about
forty rods from where Larson was at the
time. Larson was young man about thirty
years of age and leaves wife and three
small children to mourn his loss.
The lightning struck setting of wheat
stacks in the town of Havana on the
farm of Mr.. Hatly, but with the assistance Of
his neighbors he succeeded in saving all but
| a part of one stack. The lightning also
struck in several other places, burning in
| one instance shock of wheat for l.. j. More
house in Owatonna township, and hitting {

Ex-President Billings arrived in st. Paul
yesterday, in special car from Duluth. He

its equipment, and the country through
which it runs.

Hr. Ayers, 0piaion of Dakota

The Grand Forks Herald is probably misin-
formed about Mr.. Ayers owning the railroad
he built mainly, which is now part of the
Wabash system, but most Illinoisans know
of him, and will be interested in this state
ment of his impressions of Dakota:
an. A. Ayers, of Jacksonville, H., has
been visiting Mr. Thos. Booth on the Elk
Valley farm the past week. Mr.. Ayers is the
oldest banker in the state of Illinois, and one
of the wealthiest men as well. He has built,
owns and controls a paying railroad in Hi
nois, and is a keen business man in every
sense of the word. Mr.. Ayers was very much
pleased with Dakota and the Elk valley es-
pecially. 1t beats anything he ever saw be-
fore and in his judgment WAS destined to be-
come even greater. He said il le Ras only

The largest figures for any county are for
Cass, in the north, Sc, 726, 882 The next is
Lawrence, in the Black Hills, 4, O34, los.
| There are forty-two counties returned in the
south and twenty-four in the north The north
shows the healthy increase Of about two and
half millions and the south over twelve
millions. A few counties show decrease,
like Grand Forks in the north and Clay and
Dawson in the south, and Custer in the
Black Hills. The greatest gains have been
in the new counties in the central region,
which have been settled almost entirely
within the past four years. The fact is evil
dent that the counties south of the 10Th par
allel have gained great majority of the em-
| igration the past two years. This has been
partly due to the superior inducements Of
fered and extension of railroads in the south
and center, but probably still more to the
! impression that production in the north is
chiefly restricted to one crop. The north
needs greater diversity in crops and more
stock, for which it is well adapted, and which
it is going into more. There is now very
little good land south Of the 10th parallel and
east of the Missouri river not entered, and
those who wish to make claims must go
north or west. One curious incident is that
