HOMICIDE,
John Trusty Shoots and Kills
William Barrett.

Another bloody chapter in the annals
of crime was opened to the public in
this section Of country last Wednesday
morning, in which John Trusty and
William Barrett figured as the actors.
"Wednesday forenoon John Trusty, who
is living with his wife and two children
in a log house on the south side of the
Missouri river in Billings county, oppo-
site Wiliston, came oyer the river to this
city and surrendered himself to Deputy
Sheriff VIM. Ford, stating that he had
killed his friend, William Barrett. Mr..
Trusty s story is substantially as follows:
The house he lives in is built with one
room. For the convenience of parti-
tions large tarpolin is hung across the
room, dividing the sleeping apartment
from the eating-room, and then sheet
was hung up in front of Barrett's bed,
which Is in one corner, screening from
view Mr., and Mrs. Trusty's bed in the
opposite corner. The little children
sleep in bed near Barrett's, but outside
of the hanging sheet Nearly every
night the children would kick the clothes
off themselves and either Mr. or Mrs.
Trusty would have to get up and coyer
them over again. 1t was on one Of these
occasions that the unfortunate tragedy
took place. About o'clock Wednesday
morning Mrs. Truety was awakened by
the children and got up to cover them
slipping quietly out Of bed raised the
suspended sheet and caught Mrs Trusty
around the waist and tried to force her
into his own bed. She resisted him and
called to her husband, who was in
sound sleep at the time. AS soon as
Mr.. Trusty awoke and was told by his
wife what Barrett was trying to do, he
jumped out Of bed and rushed to the
front part of the house and took down
his Winchester rifle. By this time Bar
rett had let 90 of Mrs. Trusty and made
some defiant remark to Mr.. Trusty. who
raised his rifle and fired twice through
the tarpolin in the direction of Barrett's
bed At the second shot Barrett said,
in rather cool manner, Jack, you've
killed me; straighten me out" Trusty
then litthe lamp, and fearing that Bar
rett was feigning he was hurt and would
use knife upon him, he threw another
cartridge into the barre, and cautiously
started toward Barrett's bed, but when

Coroner Investigating.
Minot, Dec. 12.-Charles Wagner, a
former employe Of the Great Northern
on bridge No. 10, about five miles west
of this place, lies dead in McJennet's
undertaking establishment. A coron-
er's jury is investigating. There are
several theories advanced as to the
cause of death. One is that during the
night the boarding car, IN which he
slept was switched on to the bridge,
and that he got up in the night, and +,
not knowing that the car had been
moved from its usual place on the side
track, fell to the ground thirty feet
below. Others claim that he left the
car before it was moved and died in a
fit. Foul play is also limited at, but up
to the present time no evidence is at
hand to warrant the charges. The acci-
dent occurred on the night of Dec. 8.

Something Unique.

The window decorator at ]. Weis-
man has given the little people
something to laugh at for quite
awhile.
There are two large plate glass
windows to this store, and in one of
them the decorator placed a well
loaded tree, and about the room
are many little toy beds on which
dolls are placed and supposed to be
asleep. A well filled table of fruits
nuts and candy is placed ia the cen
ter of the room and everything is
in order. A large placard tells US
it is the night before Christmas
morn.
The other window is counter
part of the first one, with the ex-
ception that it is placarded the
night after Christmas. The tree
has been stripped of its presents,
the same being scattered over the
floor, many of them broken, the
drum head bursted out, tin horns
bent so they won't blow, doll heads
off, orange peelings all over the
floor, apples halt eaten scattered
about and the table cleaned of all
the good things, and general or
der of disorder prevails. The two
pictures are true to life and should
be transferred to canvass.

A Spanish Priest on AguinaldO.

"Aguinaldo is very brave when
he fights priests and unarmed
peasants, but / don't think he will
provoke an encounter with Ameri-
can troops.
''This Aguinaldo was once a ser
want of mine. He is a smart fellow
with plenty of assurance, but no
education. He had mother whom
l remember, but he never knew
who bis father was. l don't think
he has any following among the
natives. He was put forward by
foreigners, who, under cover of his
name, wanted to procure from the
American commanders trade priyil-
eges and mOnopolies. In Aguinaldo's
name these foreigners issued procla
nations, claiming that the insur-
gents had established a Govern
ment which had been acknowledged
by the Aaerican Army and Navy.
These lies were intended for the
consumption of the Filipinos.

years, and have presided over a
dozen parishes. Much of my time

pinos well. There are some good
people among them, men of wealth
and education. But the masses
are hopelessly ignorant and quite
incapable of self-government. The
moment two natives are clothed
with some semblance of authority
they quarrel with each other If
any attempt is made to establish
sef-government by the natives it
will end in bloody war"
