HE SLEW THIRTEEN MEN,

Fiend to Whom human Life
Counted for Naught.
When Tall Hall, the Kentucky des.
perado, was arrested and claimed to have
killed singly and in posse 80 men, it was
supposed that he was lying. 1t was
shown by testimony taken at Memphis,
Tenn, where Hall was examined this
week, that he has at least 10 murders on
his soul, besides others in which he fig.
ured as one of gang of feud fighters.
Halls history transcends that of the
heroes of border fiction. He commenced
his bloody career Is years ago by killing
the two Friplett boys, brothers Of his
wife, in Letcher county. When the
sheriff went TO arrest him for this crime
Hall was too quick for him and shot him
dead.
Next he allied himself to John Wright's
Dand, which was engaged in a factional
wax with the Jones band. Halls first ex-
plot was the killing Of three Of the en-
envy. In the next encounter Old Man
Jones poured load of buckshot into
him. Wright reported him dead, and
even pointed out his grave. Then Hall
killed Dick Vance. mountain despe-
RADIO. Three of his cousins who were
friends Of Vance waylaid him, but Hall
killed them all.
Afterward at Catlettsburg, KY, he met
John Adams, half brother Of Vance,
threw him from a window, and killed
him.
In the mountains later he became en-
amored Of Mrs. Sallyer. He slew ncr
husband and eloped with her, afterward
marrying her. They went to Memphis,
where he went to work as a street car
driver.
Afterward he went to Virginia, leav-
ing his wife, and then it was he killed
Hylton at Norton. When serving az q
deputy marshal ne killed and captured .
score or more of moonshiners.
He will be taken to Virginia as soon as
the officers arrive, and it is not improb.
able that he will be lynched on his ar
rival.

gives thanks for one of the cutest
dogs that ever barked himself hoarse
at the moon. This dog and the cit
at the Kaufman home have lived on
amicable terms for several years and
romped together and chased other
animals together, always standing In
with one another, until little mis-
understanding arose which has es-
tranged them. Both were dining to-
gether out of one dish, when sud
denly the dog caught the cat by the
ear and deliberately led her through
the dining room, the kitchen and out
on the porch, where he left her and
came back to his meal.
Whether the rules governing re-
fined etiquette on dining occasions
Were violated by the cat, or whether
she let her bib drop carelesslv into
the gravy. is not stated. Suffice it to
say that dog and cat now eat from
separate dishes and on different oc-
casions- And this led Nate Broomall.

veyance in a brutal manner before

me what would have, and said ]

Idly they talked of waltz and quadrilie;
Idly tney talked. like other girls,
Who over the fire, when all Is still,
Comb out their braids and curls-
Robe of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers and ribbons, too,
Scattered about in every place,
For the revel is through.
And Maud and Madge in robes of white,
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun,
Stockingless, sipperless, sit in the night,
For the revel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair.
Those wonderful waves OF brown and gold,
Till the fire Is out in the chamber there
And the little bare feet are cold
Then out of the gathering winter chill,
All out of the bitter St. Agnes weather,
While the fire is out and the house Is still,
Maud and Madge together
Maud and Madge in robes of white.
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun.
Curtained away from the chilly night,
After the revel is done.
Float along in splendid dream
To a golden gittern's tinkling tune,
While a thousand lusters shimmering stream
In a palaces grand saloon
Flashing of jewels and hutter of laces,
Tropical odors swceter than musk,
Men and womenNyith beautiful faces
And eyes of tropical dusk
And one face shining out like a star.
One face haunting the dreams OF each.
And one voice sweeter than others are,
Breaking into silvery speech
Telling, through lips OF bearded bloom,
An old, old story over again,
As down the royal hammered room,
To the golden gittern's strain,
Two and two they dreamily walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And, all unheard in the lovers talk,
He claimeth one for bride.
o Maud and Madge, dream on together.
With never a pang of jealous feari
For, ere the bitter st. Agnes weather
Shall whiten another year
ROBBED for the bridal and robed for the tomb,
Braided brown hair and golden tress,
There'll be only one of you left for the bloom
or the bearded lips TO press
Only one for the bridal pearls,
The robe of satin and Brussels lace.
Only one TO blush through her curls
At the sight OF a lovers face.
o beautiful Madge in your bridal white
For you the revel has just begun.
But for her who sleeps in your arms tonight
The revel OF life Is done.
But. robed and crowned with your sanity

The Republican Rally.

For that evening Senator J. II. Worst,
of Emmons county and Harvey Harris,
of Bismarck, were billed for this city
and the local leaders were in high
hopes that at least some little life
would be enthused in dead issue; but
alas their bright hopes have withered
and died; the castles they have build
ed in the air have fallen to earth and
rudely shattered.
It is true the speakers were here, but
a painful void still exists and there is
not enough enthusiasm left in the
whole concern to fill it. 1t takes a
man of some talent to keep life in a
live issue, but to put life that will last
in dead issue requires man of ex-

The citizens of Langdon received a
shock Monday upon learning of the
death, by his own hand, of A. c. Bart
lett formerly of this city but for the
past six months has worked at Grand
Forks. Deceased was we'll known
here and highly respected as a quiet
and inoffensive citizen. What prompt
ed the rash act is query, as he was
generally looked upon as we'll balanc-
ed mentally. The remains were ship
ped to this city yesterday and taken in
charge by the masonic lodge Of which
order he was a member. The services
will take place this afternoon. The
following is the account Of his death
taken from the Grand Forks Plain
dealer:
Another weary mortal, sick and dis
couraged with the future before him
becomes his own murderer and sends
his soul to eternity by the bullet route
Two weeks ago today A. c. Bartlett, a
young Englishman who has been work
ing at Langdon for year or two past
was engaged on the recommendation Of
citizens of that place by General Agent
Sims, of the Mn. Elevator Company
as company's agent at the Newman
warehouse. six miles north of this city
on the Minnesota side of the river
He secured room at the residence OF
w. w. Hawley, a farmer living neal
the warehouse. 1t appears that fol
some time past he has not been in very
good health, although able to attend
to his duties. Saturday last he was
hardly to leave his room, but went tc
the elevator for a short time in the
evening. He retired at the usual hour
and that was the last seen OIL heard Of
him until Sunday morning when his
body was discovered in the rear of the
house, a 3S revolver in his hand and
CHASTITY wound in his forehead, just
above his eye, told the story. The re-
volver contained but one cartridge but
another lay on the ground near by
The coroner was notified and Deputy
Coroner White came over from Crooks
ton this morning and held an inquest
The cause of the rash act is unknown
but it is supposed his poor health made
him respondent. The remains were
brought to McDonald's undertaking
rooms today.
