Boy Killed at Mandal.

At Mandan Wednesday night a
young boy, Is years Of age named Clark
whose mother has been working in the
dining room at the Northwest hotel
at Bismarck, was accidentally shot
and SO badly wounded that he lived
but two hHurs after the shooting.
CarelesSness with rifle in the hands
Of photographer named Welch, who
did the shooting is assigned as the
cause by Mandan people in their &C
counts of the tragedy.
1T appears that Welch had been
bothered during the day by drunken
hobo, and had a rifle with which he
intended to drive the hobo off in case
he returned to Welch's place. A shot
had been fired in the air from Welch's
place in the course of the evening
Young Clark and another boy were
passing the place and learning that
there had been some excitement in
the neighborhood Clark stepped into
the doorway. AS he did 50 Welch
fired another shot from his rifle. in
tending to shoot into the air. The
bullet struck the young boy in the
side, passing through his body and
causing death in two hours.
The death of the young man is deep
ly deplored at Mandan, as we'll as the
carelessness which resulted in so dis
tressing t;agedy. Welch is said to
reproach himself bitterly for the ac-
cident, and is overcome with grief at
the result of the shooting.

Bismarck Tribune: The state board
Of equalization practically settled up
on the assessment of corporate prop
erty Friday morning. Telegraph and
telephone lines will be assessed at
practically the same figures as last
year. The increase Of $1,000 mile in
main line railroad assessments was
made to apply to the Milwaukee road,
which is considered as part of trunk
line to Fargo. The B. w. & G. F..
road as far as Wilton has been raised
to s2,5OO mile, but no change has
been made on the extension from Will
ton to Washburn. Railroads were
-equalized last year at sl7, 9S3,367. The
total value this year will be about
$50, 1000, 900. Express companies and
telegraph and telephone companies
were valued last year at 1884, 527 and
there will not be great change from
these figures this year.
The state board took up the ques-
tion of real property valuations Fri
day morning. The total value of real
property as equalized last year was

Says He Killed WEIGH.

Willie Ross, young boy who was
arrested, charged with the murder Of
Thomas Welch, an aged farmer at
Willow City, has confessed to the
crime. He told the story in detail at
Bottineau where he was tried, and
hopes to get as light sentence as
possible. He said he went to the
Welch home with the intention of
stealing the old mans horses and
found him asleep in bed. The door
was open and only the screen was be-
tween him and the old man. He shot
the helpless old man through the
screen door and left Immediately,
taking the horses with him. He sold
the horses and went to the southern
part of Pierce county.
1t was here that he was captured
and taken to Rugby and placed
in jail. The confession caused quite a
stir, for everyone thought that he was
not capable Of doing such a deed.
Judge Cowan has impanelled Jury

Welsh Held,

The jury in the case Of Chester r..
Clark, shot by Charles E. Welsh at
Mandan, found that Clark came to
his death by shot fired by Welsh and
recommended that Welsh be held for
trial. The shooting occurred at 9:lo
in the evening which is not likely
time for burglars to be around.
Clark had made arrangements to
room upstairs over Welsh's and was
going upstairs when shot. The scare
received by Welsh and the two women
seems to have been caused by drunk
en- man who staggered against the
screen door and passed on.
Welsh told his story to the Mandan

Some Frost.

A light frost is reported in some O

enough to do much damage. Most of
the grain and flax would require a
nara freeze to hurt it, The mercury
went as low as 80 at 3 a. m. at the

in this locality.
Some millet, potatoes and other
garden truck are reported hurt in low
places but grain is not injured as far
as can be seen. The frost was scarce
ly noticed in some spots. Fourteen
years ago on the 10th of this month,

the state has had in that many years.

Then was very heavy covering the en-
tire country, upland as wen as valley
land. Grain was then turning and a
big crop was in sight the same as now.
That was a year that will be. long re-
membered. Clinton Wade examined
the grain and flax this morning as far
east as Bloom, but could see no bad ef-
fects. In 1888, the morning after the
frost referred to, there was a peculiar
transparent color in the wheat stalk,
not found today. Yesterday the wind
blew cold from the northwest all day
following Slight rain Saturday. Last
night the weather cleared and there
were the frost conditions that have
occurred at long intervals in this part
OF the state, but no damage Of any
amount appears to have resulted.
Later reports from various parts Of
the county confirm the early state
ments that little or no damage was
done to grain or flax. In the valley
the frost hit gardens and some corn
