Chas. burrows, who worked for
Frank Andre the Jamestown livery
man last winter, is the self confessed
murderer OF James CarOlen, whose
body was found four miles from COur-
tenay.
Burrows was captured Sunday night
by Constable Sandy Of Wimbledon
He had reached Rogers, a small sta
tion east of Wimbledon.
Monday Burrows was brought to
Courtenay and at the inquest held
there confessed that he had killed
Carolen in a. quarrel. The murder
tookCplace four. miles southwest OF
Oberon. in Benson county.
Burrows said that he had left Fargo
short time ago with the intentiono Of
securing employment for himself and
team on the railroad being built west
of Oberon. On the road he met Caro-
len, a man of little over fifty years
of age. Burrows asked Carolen to
take ride and they journeyed to-
gether. They reached the point
where the tragedy occurred about
noon Friday and stopped to prepare
dinner. While dinner was being
prepared Carolen upset a cooking
utensil. Burrows rebuked him. Then,
Burrows states, Carolen grabbed a
hatchet and threatened to fix him.
Burrows then took the hatchet away
from Carolen and struck the old man
with it. Carolen fell to the ground
and writhed in agony To put him
out, of his misery Burrows says he gave
him two or three more cracks Oh the
head and Carolen died.
After commi tting the murder Bur-
rows was filled with desire to conceal
the crime. He loaded Carolen's re-
mains into the wagon and started
south. He passed through New Rock
ford, Darlington and Kensal. At
Kensal he bought some coffee and
other articles. The body began to
decompose badly and Saturday night
Burrows decided to place it in the
ditch near the 500 railroad track west
of Courtenay. He placed it near the
railroad track believing it would be
the supposition of those who found it
that thelman had been killed by the
train.
He proceeded eastward, stopping at
farm house to secure some cats. In
tree claim not far from Courtenay
he threw the bloody hatchet, some
clothing and other evidences Of his
crime. His action was noticed and
parties went after he had driven on
and found the stuff. The authorities
were notified, Constable Sandy Of
Wimbledon traced him and his arrest
followed.
At the inquest held Monday, Bur-
rows coolly told Of the murder. He
displayed not the slightest feeling as
he gazed upon the corpse and admitted
that it was that Of the man he muir
dered.
The jury found that the deceased
had come to his death at the hands OF
Burrows. Burrows was taken in
charge OF Constable Sandy Of Wimble-
don there to remain until the sheriff
OF Benson county arrived to take him
to Minnewaukan where later he will
he tried for the crime.
