raised, his funds running SO low that
he did not know where the next meal
was coming from. He fell in with Nc
Farland, who tool a fancy to him. Nc

Senate Entails Useless Expense he
~ cause Of the Army Hill.

cause, Of the Army Bill.
Washington, jan. 9.-The action of
the senate in delaying the passage of.
the army. reorganization bill will. prob
ably cost the United States nearly a
million and a half dollars. Wal depart
n1ent officials said that this amount
probably underestimates the additional
expense to the government caused by
the failure of the senate to pass the
bill. Each days delay increases the
cost to the government, but should the
bill pass this week the additional ex-
pense in returning the volunteers and
replacing them in the Philippines will
not be under the amount stated. Sec
rotary Root said that it had been esti-
mated that SIG, 000, 900 could have been
saved the government had the last
congress provided for $4,000 regular
troops for a three years service in
stead of that number of volunteers. 1t
is figured at the war department that
the delay already occasioned will ne
cessitate the chartering of additional
transports to bring home about $4,000
volunteers. 1t costs about $115 per man
for water transportation from Manila
to San Francisco. Estimating $4,000
men at this price makes the additional
cost 81, $50, 900.

j Grand Forks: N, .D..; Jan. ,5.-Win-

Cavalier county, and asked TO be

his hired man, Andrew Mellen: MT.
Barry is a wealthy farmer and one OF
the most respected residents of the
county. He owns a fine farm about
twenty miles from Milton. F1e is a
single man and has for: years had his
sister with him as housekeeper. Mellen
had been employed by him at intervals
for the past eight years. The story
that Mr.. Barry tells is substantially
as follows: Wednesday night he a
been doing chores, and on coming IN
from the barn he found his sister in
tears. On being questioned by. MIN
she confessed that for some time n
and Mellen had been unduly
and that she was to become a mother.
There had been a secret engagement
Of marriage, and just prior to Barrys
entrance she had pressed Mellen TO
carry out the agreement, which he had
declined to do. Barry, enraged, Went
in search of Mellen, but could not
find him. Returning to the house ne
found that his sister had disappeared.
He began a search for her which con-
tinued all night. Toward morning he
found her lying on h prairie with
her hands and feet badly frozen. He
placed her in the care of a neighbor
and returned home. F..

Going to the barn he found Mellen
inside doing the morning chores. lie
went in. fastened the door and told
Mellen what had occurred and that ne
had resolved that Mellen must lie.
He gave Mellen the choice Of death by
rope or the knife and demanded that
he choose. at once. This. Mellen de-
Fclined to do, and Barry then took a
rope and with it attempted to hang
his victim to a beam overhead. Mel
len resisted and a desperate struggle
ensued,, lasting, MI. Barry tells, about
fifteen minutes. Barry weighs about
26O pounds and Mellen about 14O, but
so desperately did the latter struggle
that the plan of hanging was aban-
doned. Barry then look out his watch
and told Mellen that he had just five
minutes more to live and recommended
that he say his final prayers. Mellen.
too exhausted for further resistance,
knelt on the floor of the stable n m
plored heaven for forgiveness M
mercy. Promptly at the end of the
five minutes Barry closed the watch,
returned it to his pocket and, with a
knife with which he had armed him.
self, stabbed the kneeling man In the
neck, killing him instantly. Barry then
drove to town and gave himself up.
