SAD TRAGEDY IN BLACK HILLS
Albert Jensen. Young Rancher, Strikes Down His
Sweetheart and Then Cuts His Own Throat

After numbering the girl Jensen
wrote three letters, all of which were
to the effect that he was in love with
her and that she had promised to
marry him, but that she teased hin,
all the evening and he became angry
and killed her. Jensen cut his throat
with a razor, which was found lying
beside the bed. His sufferings must
have been intense, for he had walked
about the cabin, evidently for the
purpose of getting a she'll for his gun
with which to put an end to his suffer
ings. as bloody tracks led up to a box
containing some empty shells. But
there was no evidence that shot was
fired. An empty shell was found In
his shotgun, but it is believed it was
placed there after he had cut his
throat.
The last time Jensen and his sweet
heart we're seen alive was on the even
ing before the day their bodies were
discovered, when they departed for the
purpose Of attending a dance in the
neighborhood.

No INcREAsE'IN SALARY.
Demurrer in the Hauser Case at Aber-
deem Is Sustained.

Demurrer in the Hauser Case at Aber
deem Is Sustained.
Judge Mccoy has given his decision
In the salary case OF the county judge
CT Brown county, J. II. Hauser, and he
decides that so far as Hauser Is con-
cerned the law is unconstitutional, the
constitution providing that salaries
may not be increased or decreased
during the term of office of any Off
cial.
Hauser applied to the county COM
missioners for an increase of salary
allowance on the ground that the pop
ulation of the county is 10000 or more.
The beard refused to make an increase
and he then asked the circuit court
for mandamus TO compel the com
missiCners to pay the higher amount.
To this the commissioners, through
the states attorney. demurred on the
ground of the unconstitutionality of
the law in this case, and the decision
OF Judge Mccoy sustains the demurrer.
There are several other cases pending
in counties of the state. this being the
first decision made.

the farmers in the Dakotas that they
are not being nearly so badly treated
IN the matter of prices for macaroni
wheat as they have imagined | have
looked into the matter very thorough
ly recently, testing the prices of vari-
Gus wheats on an export basis, and |
ind that the macaroni wheat never
has sold in Minneapolis and Duluth at
a price that would be more than about
10 cents on the outside below No. l
Northern, calculating prices on an ex-
port basis.
Tt should be kept in mind always
that tho macaroni wheat has no COM
parison with other wheats as to price.
1t is an entirely independent crop,
standing upon its own merits as to
supply and demand for the price it may
bring. Hence if the ordinary wheat
goes up s or 10 cents it does not fol.
low by any means that the price of
macaroni wheat should advance pro-
pCrtionately.
The public has yet to learn the
value Of macaroni -four for bread.
Many who have tried ii prefer it to or
binary -four. In the opinion Of those
who nave investigated the matter, if
it were placed on sale where other
GC~rs are sold, it would come at once
into general use"
