Frank W March, formerly a resi-

Redwood House during the early
history of tha city, was shot in the
abdomen W. B. West, a real es-
tate representative, while the two
men were In the Hotel Dacotah at
Grand Forks, North Dakota, last
Saturday night.
It appears that Frank and West
had slight dispute several days
previous. On Saturday evening
they met in the dining room of an
other Grand Forks hotel and West,
without saying a word, went out
apparently to avoid Frank
Later they met about 10 o'clock in
the Office of the Decotah and held a
short conversation in low tones,
which we're not overheard by the
bystanders.
March suddenly struck West two
blows on the head and face and
West stepped back and pulled a re-
volver, which he fired before any
one could interfere. March said:

After the shooting West was ar
rested and taken to the county Jail,
where he refused to be interviewed
or say a word regarding the affair.
March was taken to the Deaconess
hospital, where the doctors were
called, but were unable to locate
the bullet, although Frank. who
was conscious, thought he could
feel it III his back. The cause OF
the shootingis not definitely known.
The two men had been fast friends
until about ten days ago, when some
family trouble arose.
Frank had been travelling for the
North Star Boot & Shoe Co. of Min
neapolis, the same house for which
his father had been travelling in the
Grand Forks territory for a number
of years. He was married a year
or more ago at Grand Forks.

Marshall, on the grounds Of the
