Some weeks ago quiet. ino1fensive,
sober, industrious young man named
Botheim was shot down in cold blood
upon street in Grand Forks. The
murderer escaped, and the murder
was shrouded in mystery. Detectives
were put to work on the case, and a
reward of 81 800 was offered for infor-
nation which would lead to the cap
ture Of the culprit. For a long time no
definite clue could be found. But last
week one of the detectives reported to
Sheriff Dick Fadden, Of Grand Forks,
conversation which he had with GER
tain party who claimed to have been
with the murderer when the murder
was committed. The story told the
detective in brief is that the murderer
and another man were gambling in a
saloon in East Grand Forks, and the
murderer was cheated by the other fell
low out Of a considerable sum of
money, which so enraged him that he
said that he would shoot him at sight.
But the wrong man was shot. A boat
was stolen and was seen going down
the river the same night. The officers
followed the boat believing that it con-
tanned the murderer and his pals. AT
Neche the boat was found, the occu-
pants had gone to Winnipeg, where the
detective spotted this man and became
very familiar with him. He lremained
with him six days. He finally lost
sight Of him, but he was traced up tc
Milton. Sheriff Fadden followed him
here and found that he had gone tc
Crystal. Tommy Burns accompanied
the sheriff to farm house near Crys.

taken into custody, He will be hello
