HORRIBLE COlD-CLOODED MURDER
duplicates A MlNOT YOUNG
MAN AS CHIEF PERPE-
TRAITOR.
WAYFARfR IS DONE TO DEATH
SHOT IN THE HEAD AND HIS
BODY THROWN INTO AN
OLD WELL.

Minot, n. D., Dec. l. - A horrible
cold-blooded murder, committed over
a year ago, has just been discovered
by the concession of William Ross
who was to have been hung at Bot
tineau next Friday for the murder OF
an old man named WEIGH, near Will
low City.
When the board of pardons refused
to change the sentence of death to life
Imprisonment and the sheriff began
building the scaffold Ross became
penitent and made confession, Civ.
ing all the details, drawing accurate
maps of one of the most cold-blooded
murders imaginable. 1t was no
trouble for Sheriff Nelson of Bottin-
eau county and Sheriff Carroll of this
county to walk to the exact spot
where, according to the maps and
confession, the body of the murdered
man could be found. Ross story was
as follows:
About year ago Ross and COM
panion named Carl Hanson of Minot
were
Riding the Ranges
four miles north of Tagus, a blind sid
ing about forty miles west Of Minot,
when they came to deserted sod
shack in which traveller was stop
ping for the night. They decided to
stay with him, and during the course
of the evening tried to trade horses
with him Tho ctroroor uoc n Erenol,
man named Lemars, from near Will
low City. He did not like the horses
ridden by Hanson and Ross and want
ed considerable money to trade. Ross,
who was trying to make the trade
with Lemars, came back to Hanson,
who was in the house. Hanson said:
ooh, never mind; we haven'ss any
money to trade with, but we don't
need any. I'll fix that. Well get his
horses all right"
After supper was eaten Hanson
made some pretext to go to the barn
and hid himself behind the barn door,
as he knew Lemars was coming out
soon. Lemars had just stepped inside
the barn, with his arms full of hay,
when Hanson shot him,
Killing Him Instantly.
The body was thrown by Ross and
Hanson into an old we'll a short dis
lance from the buildings, on the bank
of small lake. The horses and wagon
and goods belonging to Lemars were
disposed of and the money divided be-
tween the murderers some days after
the murder.
Carl Hanson was found at Tagus,
where he has been living on q claim,
and taken to the scene of the murder
and then brought to this city and
placed in the county Jail.
The body was recovered, badly de-
composed, and is awaiting an in
quest. District court is called for Dec.
S in this county and the trial of Han
son will take place speedily. Ross
will probably be saved long enough to
attend court and help implicate his
alleged fellow criminal,
