Upon the motion of Webster & jam
ison, attorneys for A. l.. Reynolds, Judge
Francis ordered the discharge of the pris-
oner upon his giving bond in the sum of
$3.50, with two sufficient sureties. Mr..
Reynolds protests that he is innocent of
the charges preferred against him; and
the RECORD hopes, for the sake of de-
cency and the good name of the county,
that he may succeed in convincing jury
at the next term of, the District Court
that such is the fact There is no use
denying, however, that public opinion is
overwhelmingly against the accused.
No one for an instant believes; as Ray
,nolds intimated in recent letter to the
RECORD, that a man like Mr.. Cronk
(who had always been Oh good terms
with the accuseO would allow Mr.. J. W.
Wescott or any one else to drag the
little girls into vile conspiracy. Fur
thermore, we have been assured by two
gentlemen, who were present during Ray
nolds's examination before Justice Max

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Peter Olson Either .40fsc.,s Him sol I
or Is MUrdered.

Peter Olson Either A9oEso,aa EHinaself
or Is Murdered.
A sad and somewhat mysterious death
occurred Friday evening last about six
miles west of Williamsport
AS will be remembered, Peter Olsen
was the only witness to the cruel murder
of young Joe Robinson by Andrew Carl
son. which occurred something over two
months ago.
Olsen owned thirty three head of cattle
and two or three ponies. These he was
wlntering in the valley of what is known
as Turtle Creek, about six miles west of
Williamsport and two or three miles
from Buchanan postofflce. Here Olsen,
who was a single man, had established
his winter quarters--a rude house, barn
and corral
Olsen was brother-in-law to Henry
G. Baker, the latter having married his
sister. Baker, who resides on the Fort
Rice reservation, left home Friday morn
ing about 10 o'clock, going IN the direc-
ton of Williamsport. He is the one
who last saw Olsen alive, and his state
ment of the matter is as follows: He
came to Olsen's place, bringing with him
some things for hlm-s bottle of strych-
nine, Winchester rifle, and some pro-
visions that Olsen had requested him
to bring the strychnine, as he wanted
it to poison wolves and foxes which were
prowling around the carcass of COW of
his that had recently died. They put the
horses in the stable and returned to the
house. On entering the house he (Ba-
kerr smelled strychnine. They sat down
to have some supper, or lunch, from the
basket of provisions that Baker brought
with him. Presently Olsen said, "Pn
kill you," and seized an ak to carry the
threat into execution. Baker rushed out
mounted one of his horses (he had
driven twoohorse team hitched to sled)
and started to Wllliamsport. He went to
the Jail and made, in substance, the above
statement to Sheriff Wade He further
asserted that Olsen had "doctored" a
part of pie, that he claimed to have
brought with him with strychnine, in
tending that he (BaheD should eat those
pieces of the pie but that, by mistake,
he himself ate of the poisoned part of
the pie.
In answer to Sheriff Wade's question
as to whether Olsen was dead or not
Baker gave it as his opinion that he was
dead.
On Saturday morning Sheriff Wade,
District Attorney Hertlck, Coroner Long,
Deputy Sheriff Waldroff and Mr.. Baker
went out to Olsen's ranch. They found
Olsen's body a short distance from the
house.
After calling jury and obtaining all
the information possible from Mr.. Baker
and taking into consideration the circum-
stances surrounding the death, the coroner
brought the remains to Williamsport, to
await the arrival of physician from Bis
marck before concluding the inquest
On warrant of Coroner Long, Deputy
Sheriff Cotton on Monday went over to
the river, arrested Baker, and committed
him to Jail to await the result of the in

Farmers Need it.

There is not the exchange of ideas
among farmers there should be; yet the
opportunity is afforded every farmer in
the Northwest to impart and receive sug-
gestions, experiences and results by be-
comiug reader of Farm, Stock and
Home (Minneapolis), and writing for its
columns. To every subscriber to the
RECORD who pays year In advance (and
back subscription if any-that is, one set
ting up to date) Farm, Stock and Home
(Minneapolis) and orthwestern Farmer
(Fargo) will be sent for year free. Some
who paid their subscription recently
would have but few cents to pay. For
instance; say you paid your subscription
three months ago for q year in advance.
BY paying 80 cents. and thus making it d
full year in advance from the presents
you would get the farm papers. This
proposition will remain open but few
weeks. 1t is rare opportunity, as every
farmer wants journals devoted to ex-
pounding the methods of agriculture
necessary in the Northwest.

More About Railroads.

Faulk County Times The third (Mil-
waukee) line is the most important of all,
being trunk line from Sioux City, via
Yankten, Scotland and Faulkton, to Bis
marck, and is twelve hours shorter con-
nection between Chicago and Bismarck
than any other route; and, by touching
Bismarck, its western connection is COM
plete to the Pacific coast:
Sioux Falls Press The Burlington
road will move northwestwardly from
Sioux Falls and from Watertown in two
lines. These lines will form junction
at Ellendale; and from there one line
will be sent on to Bismarck.

their success in this respect it is not

Another Railroad.

A company has been formed, composed
of officers and prominent stockholders Of
the Northern Pacific, to build q railroad
from LaMoure to point in southern Lo=
gan, whence there will be two lines-one
northwest through Williamsport to Bis
marck, and the other to Winona. Within
two years we verify believe that every
farmer in Emmons County will be able
to get his grain to market without haul
ing it more than dozen miles-that is
that no point in the county will be. more
than twelve miles distant from railroad
station.

Feet Frozen.

One of the men returning from the
railroad extension, Swede whose home
is in Emmons County, was compelled to
stop at Washburu for medical attendance,
and is now at the Merchants Hotel un-
der the care of DR.. Smyth. His feet are
so badly frozen that the doctor.fears they
will have to be amputated. The unfor.
tunate man only put in two months on
the job, and during that time lost, by
death, valuable mule, and now, when
returning to his home, he has been over
taken with calamity which will make
him almost helpless for the balance of
his life Washburn Times.
