A DAKOTA feuo.

An Editor Killed as The Result Of .
bitter Quarrel.
Great Falls. April ED and Jack
Shufelt of Glasgow have been called to
Grinnell, N. D.. to attend the funeral
Of their brother. Hank. under distress
ing circumstances The deceased was
sho. and killed by o. M. Dean on sat
standing feud. which has been mould
ering for some years. Dean was the
editor and publisher OF a small news
paper printed in Grinnell. which is a
small Dakota town, a few miles east
of Williston. located on the Missouri
river. and OF he line OF railway. The
trouble started with q paragraph which
was derogatory, or assumed 40 to be. to
Shufelt's character. The quarrel grew
until II included more OF the citixens OF
the Grinnell bottoms than the " m
mediately concerned. Threats were
made n either side. and petty acts OF
vengeance committed. Shufelt boosted
that he would so Kill and mutilate Dean
that even the Indian dogs would avoid
the carcass, and one day. when pos
sibly somewhat under the influence of
drink, he carried his threats SO far into
execution as to rope Dean on the pub
lie street and drag him with the lariat
made fast TO the horn Of his saddle
until Dean managed to cut the rope.
After that Dean went armed. Sat
urday evening Dean came out of the
postoffice, a loaded shotgun under his
arm. He soon encountered Shufelt.
and there was a report OF a gun. n
Shufelt fell from his horse mortally
wounded. the load entering the right
breast and lodging near the heart.
Death was nearly instantaneous. Dean
Immediately surrended to the authori-
ties.
Just what preceded the encounter is
not clear. Vel says that Shufelt
tried to rope him again. and. fearing
a horrible death, ne shot in self-de-
Tense. As ne is the only immediate
witness. his story will have to be ac-
cepted, but friends of Shufelt. although
there seems to be no witnesses to that
effect, claim hat Dean shot Shufelt
down in fear that he would himself
be shot.
The victim is well known in Valley
county. where. as stated. he has rela-
tives. and where he had visited several
times. He leaves a wife inc one child.

hut HE Divsrsasss Broasht woe to the
Heart AZ ns Mistress.
From the New York World.
Mrs. John Parle OF Forest Park bouI-
evard and Newstead venue has a pet
st. Bernard pup which h values high
ly. pot only because IT was q Christmas
present. but because she has recently
invested over $500 in 1t.
Everybody in the Parle household ex-
cept Master Pup went out calling Sun
day. Sunday even in St. Louis In q dull
day. and Master Pup suffered from
ennui. There were no cats to worry
and no birds to glare at and make
afraid. He was wandering about the
house d~isconsolate. when he entered the
parlor n gased on q handsome pair OF
lace curtains that had cost $500.
II was the opportunity of a dogs life
time. and ne Jumped at 1t. As he did
40 his teeth n claws caught In the
lace. Again n again he jumped at
IL. The fun vas immense and the
taste of delicate lace delicious. When
the sport palled q few strings hung
from the windows n chewed bits OF
curtain strewed the floor.
Well pleased with his powers of self
amusement, Master Pup started for an
other ROOM, taking with him in the ex-
Aht1 Va SRolt ~ ~
cover and leaving behind a wreck of
costly table ornaments. When he had
finished his game of tag with the cover
II was a matter Of shreds.
Then the overjoyed pup caught sight
OF an array of downy sofa pillows. In
an instant he was among them. and
down filled the air like a furry Of
snow. In a few moments from one
end of the house to the other there
were bits of worried pillows n feath-
ers.
The sporting insticts of Master Pup.
already well aroused. were excited TO
the highest pitch by the sight of a beau
tiful bird on a bureau. 1t was a rara
avis, got at a great expense from a
foreign milliner by Mrs. Parle. Master
Pup sprang upon IL and brought II
down, with a mass of fragile bric-a-
brac. to the floor. In an instant Its
brilliant plumage lay scattered among
the white down of the defeated pillows.
The rim of a hat alone remained to tes-
tify to the folly of woman
Worn out with his exertions In behalf
of the populist party and the Society
for the Protection of Song Birds for the
Vanity of the Fair, the pup sought rest.
AS nothing was too good for a dog of
his capacity. he picked out the guest
chamber, sprang upon the guest bed,
and buried himself in a dream of down
mess and lace. When he woke up he
found his mistress sitting by his bed
side in tears. 1t was too much for his
tender nature. and. gazing at her with
great sad eyes he comforted her with
the rasping affection Of a down-deco-
rated tongue.
