northern part of this State, nine men

FIVE bodies have been recovered.

IN BAD COMPANY.
A Churchs Ferry Young Mans Sad
Experience in Devils Lake.

A Churchs Ferry Young Mans Sad
Experience in Devils Lake.
Monday evening Sam Watts, a
young man from Churchs Ferry,
came to Devils Lake with the in
tention of filing on land. He did
not make his filing, however, for
he was too late to do business with
Uncle Sans land officers, SO he
went around town to see the sights
and make arrangements for lodg-
ing. He unfortunately became
tang led up with bad company and
was pounded up in a shameful
manner and robbed of all his
money. Mr.. Watts tells the Inter
Ocean man the following account
of his misfortunes:
II met two men who introduced
themselves as Case and Murphy in
a pool room, and played several
games of pool and billiards with
them.
Sin the evening we three went to
the Salvation Array and later went
to the Cairns Hotel where I en-
gagged bed for the night. While
there, Case wanted me to stake
him while he played a fake poker
machine that some man, I don't
know his name,had, which [ refused
to do. We all went outside and
while on the sidewalk in front of
the hotel, some one, there were
four of them at that time, jumped
on to me and forced me to the
ground and then kicked me about
the face and head until the hotel
clerk came out and stopped them.
While the man was kicking me,
some one of the gang took my bill
book and fifty dollars out Of my
pocket. I do not know who that
was. They then made me go into
the hotel and while the clerk was
out made me hold up my hands
while they went through my
clothes, taking one gold and silver
watch, all my tobacco and about
$6 in silver. They then told me
to go to bed but I said I wanted
to go outside. This they let me
do, one of them following me.
When on the sidewalk I started to
run and got away from them. I
then walked all the way back to
Churchs Ferry. Next day I got
more money" and I am here
to prosecute them.
Murphy, Case and the hotel
clerk have been arrested and are
in Jail waiting a trial.
