TRAGEDY AT CANDO
A Horrible Murder and Suicide
Takes Place at Cando
Saturday.
RESULTING FROM 4 ROW
Between Two Cowboys--Shoots
His Victim and Finally
Kills Himself.

CANDo August l2.-j-hls quiet
and peaceful town was the scene of
another terrible tragedy today, and
the people here arc consequently to
a ferment of excitement. Two
lives were sent to their God instantly
one murderer and suicide, the
other the murdercr's victim. Two
men, both strangers in town, We're
noticed by passers by talking
together on the principal business
streets in angry tones. Suddenly
and without warning one of the men,
whose name was given as J. f. Roe,
drew revolver and shot the other,
Roht. Marrien, alias Squaw Bob,
several times in quick succession
killing him instantly. He then
turned and ran down the street, but
was pursued by fifty citizens, some
of whom had witnesseh the murder
and others who had been attracted
by the noise Of the shooting. 1t
is more than likely that the murderer
would have been quickly punished
without waiting the pleasure of
Judge Morgan, and the pursuers
were almost up with the assassin,
when he suddenly turned and plac-
ing the revolver he still carried in
his, hand, against his temple sent
two bullets crashing through his
brains and fell to the ground, dead.
1t is understood that both the
murderer and his victim were COW
boys, and had only been in town. a
short time. The quarrel is said to
have resulted from Marrien trying
to take a revolver away from Roe,
but there are various rumors con-
cerning it. Citizens of Cando are
greatly Mortified and deeply feel
the stigma which this tragedy, fol-
| owing so closely on the murder Of
the Kreider family, brings upon the
fair name of their beautiful town,
although neither of the murderers
were citizens of the place and know
ing as they do that more peaceable
and law-abiding community can not
be found anywhere.

LANGDON.

The number of runs made on both
sides might be accounted for in many
different ways, the chief excuse for
the wild playing being the heavy wind
which was blowing throughout the
game. A glance at the list Of players
on the Langdon side reveals the fact
that but few of our regular players
were there. The game was much enjoyed
by all and the Linden boys returned
home as much elated with their victory
as if they had run up against league
team instead of Langdon's scrubs.

Senator Roach expressed him
self IN the following language
when approached Oh the financial
question after his arrival in Wash

thing to be done is to repeal the
silver purchase clause. l am a

hear all sides before deciding
what is best for the country, and
before J. make up my mind what
subsequent Legislation shall be
in favor Of. On that point I have
some ideas, but I am not prepared
to say what they are, as I am not
quite clear and want to watch de-
velopments. The substantial OF

clause repealed. And believe
they want sound finances adopted

1t is conceded on all sides shat
North Dakota has one Of the
finest displays at the World S
Fair, and since the fair opened,
several states, seeing their detici-

Still they are behind North
Dakota. But we should not rest
on our laurels. We ought to
paralize the whole outfit, and can

give them the same lesson; some are dull
some are bright, some precious, some
backward; how Can you expect result,
result of any kind. We have changed
that, deposed that policy of instruction,
and made the work of each child his in
dividual work. That system prevails in
our schools and it is the only good
system. It enables each one to do the
work IN his own way
Now as to the cost of maintaining our
schools. AS I understand the statistics
the cost is not exhorbitant. It is less
than in Sleepy Eye, it is less than in
Springfield, less than for most good
schools in the state. There is no objec-
ton to be made as to that.
Now, in conclusion,1 want to say this.
AS citizens, we ought to forget party
feuds. Let's rise above them on this oc-
casion as We did on occasions before ;lets
stand by, shoulder to shoulder, ,and work
for the best interests of New Ulm, her
citizens and public schools, 1t is my
hope, it is my advice. I care not who
are the members of the next Board of
Education, as long as they are men not
governed by prejudice; let them be men
who are unprejudiced, unbiased; let them
examine our schools; if they have done
good work, promised good work, for
Gods sake, continue the good work.

Hon, John Lind's Addres.

Mr.. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
fellow. citizens of New Clm: l saw ana
was advised day or two ago that my
name had been printed on hand bills and
saw 4 notice published III the papers
th,t was to be one of the speakers this
,avenino. lam sure don't know why 1t
wa, done: in fact, hardly know what
to say. And you old residents OF New Clm
who have lived here or rather with whom
have lived here for the last twenty
wears know that this is the first and only
occasion that have ever appeared IN
public to speak tc you on matter penn
;n,, for AN election. | have lived have
all these twenty years or more ana nave
never spoken in a caucus before.
Two or three years ago New Tim was
all harmony and love and fellow-feeling,
and good spirit prevailed in the camp.
Aside from perhaps two occasions my
old neiyhbors and fellow-citizens will
bear me out in this statement, that have
never taken part in any public meeting
Of this character. Why? Simply because
I felt that New Ulln was well-governeo
and that there was nothing to complain
of: and YOU know that when it is mere
mattrr of dollars and cents, when the
utmost the citizens of this town can be
affected is few dollars and cents more
or less. it doesn't matter to me whether
Jones or Smith is alderman; whether
they want this street opened or that one
closed, or whether they want several
streets opened and another closed.
Whichever one is elected, whichever
side succeeds, all the difference in the
world it makes to me is possibly few
cents, possibly dollars more taxes on
my house, or on youl house, and we pay
it.
But this is an occasion quite different
in character, abou: which matter a year
400 the citizens of New Ulm had very
unpleasant time. | am not here to
blame any one; perhaps it was the result
of misunderstanding and hot-headedness'
But the matter for discussion tonight is
one in which as citizen of New Ulm I
am interested one in which I feel more
interested than in question of taxes,
than I'm a matter of a few dollars and
cents.
Whether ri ghtfuliy or wrongfully l
have been led to think and believe the
question before the people of New Ulm
to-day, the one you are here to discuss
tonight and the one you will decide
next week will be, whether our schools
are going to be continued in the glorious
work that they have done in the past
and are doing now or whether there is
going to be change. That is what
brings me out to speak to you tonight:
that is what touches my heart, touches it
