A riendish Murder.

"A terrlDle tragedy was enacted OIL
Wednesday Of last week near Rosa
Lake, in Cavalier county, the full par.
ticulars of which we have not been able
to get up to the time of going to press.
Some time ago Miss McEwen, sister of
Mr.. Peter McEwen and Mrs. Alexander
Hunter, living near dayton, took up a
claim near Rosa Lake, OH which she
established a residence, staying alone in
her house most of the time. On w ed
nesday Norwegian named Oleson en-
quired of neighbor where Miss Nc
Even lived and directed his course that
way. 1t would appear that this man
went to her house and after committing a
fiendish outrage, murdered the young
woman to prevent immediate detection.
Some of the neighbors OH Saturday, not
having seen or heard of Miss McEwen
for several days, began to feel uneasy.
about iler and went to her house, when
a terrible sight was revealed-the mangled
body of the young woman lying upon the
bed. The alarm was given and soon the
entire neighborhood was in state of
profound excitement. A search was in
stituted in every direction, suspicion
resting upon the man who had been seen
going in the direction of Miss McEwan's
house.
A report reaches us Thursday evening
that man supposed to be the guilty
party, has been arrested at Walhalla.

probably, who assaulted another woman,
Mrs. Rodgers, the same day, will help to
substantiate the evidence of the man.

Much sympathy is felt for the friends
in Drayton as we'll as those in Ontario, in
the sorrow and gloom brought OH the
family by SO terrible u tragedy.
We will Explain.
The last few days groups of men
have been seen sanding on the
street corners, congregated in the saloons
and other places of resort, and sometimes
even in the quiet of home, discussing and
wondering how it is that Shaw & Charl-
ton can sell goods for such prices. Some
say with wink, they have just bought g
tremendous stock and selling goods 70,
almost nothing for cash, will put the
money in their pockets, &c. Others say
it means assignment and still others say
they have struck a big bargain and pre-
