took place between some of the men
with the party of women and an alleg-

contestants at least was badly beaten.

facts as nearly as may be had are as
follows:
Milo Madison, a young man IS years
of age, and a boy named Larson, aged
9, went hunting Sunday shortly before
noon. Young Madison either murder
ed the boy or killed him by accident

night came on Mrs. Larson became
alarmed over the continued absence
of the little boy and at II o'clock at
night went to the Sorenson place

bed and being aroused and questioned

shot himself and fallen into the river
