The Becker Murder.

The authorities at Redfeld t~elephoned
last Thursday that if the reward was
guaranteed they would produce the
murderer OF John Becker. From this
grew the rumor that he was arrested
They were assured the reward was safe
a nd since then Sheriff King has been on
the trail OF Shorty" the man wanted
lie was tracked to Bismarck. N. d.,
when King had to return to Redfeld,
but he resumed the chase at once and
on Monday night he passed through
this city bound for North Dakota. He
was absolutely certain of landing his
man, claiming that he knew the neigh
borhood in which he was located and
that 1t was only IA question OF time to
ocate him. A party answering partly
to the description OF the murderer was
arrested at Coquct, Mimi, but was
afterwards discharged.
1t now appears that Becker was last
seen by his brother Phil on the Thurs
day morning before the discovery of the
body. 1t was early in the morning,
close to the Bauer house and John said
he had been up looking after a trouble
some colt in the pasture, that he was
gong into the house TO have a couple
OF hours sleep and was then going to
Webster where he would shake his com
panion shorty" He then walked over
to the house, knocked on the door with
the remark "Hello there, are you going
to sleep all day; the door was opened
and he passed in. 1t is now generally
believed that the murder WINS committed
S hortly after this in the house. He
probably lay down on his blankets
(Which are missing) and while asleep
Shorty shot and killed him. After
dragging the body to the barn, he then
cleaned up the house, removing any
t races of the murder. A peculiar feat
ure Of the affair is that the murderer
cut off the ears and nose OF his victim.
Some think this was done for the pur-
pose OF making Identification difficult,
while others think John Becker possess
ed some knowledge OF the workings of a
gang OF which Shorty was a member
and that he was detailed to kill him
and then cut off his ears to show to the
gang that the deed was completed.
But whatever the reason, it was a cold
blooded murder and it is to be hoped
hat Sheriff King will succeed in landing
the brute who committed it in Jail.
