More Mystery Over Crook
ston, MIMI, Murder.
Supposed Victim Appears and
Identifies the Dead Man.
But at Providence Home People Fail to
Locate Latter Party.

CrookStOn. Mimi, oct. 21.-The Men
tor murder mystery is growing more
ana more mysterious as time pro-
crosses and further developments are
brought out. The man supposed to
have been murdered. Phileas Fontaine
formerly of Woonsocket, II. l., was To-
Gated at Grand Forks. alive and well
and the authorities Immediately
brought him to this city to view the re-
mains which were supposed to have
been his own.
Fontain. who was former chun OF
Joseph Guimette. the man believed to
have committed the murder, identified
the remains positively as those of Jo-
Scph MongeaOn, a Frcnchman, whose
home is at Saintc Pic, province of Que
bee.
MongeaOn was seen at East Grand
Forks with Joseph Gulmctte by Fon-
tame. last Saturday. Monday. the pair
left the train at Mentor apparently for
the purpose of hunting. and late in the
afternoon of that dag the tragedy oc-
Cured.
1t now appears that Joseph Mon
gcaOn Was The man who was killed.

STILL MORE MYSTERY
Because Mongoaon Cannot Be Located
Among Supposed Acquaintance.

WoouSockrt. Il. L.. Oct. 21.-Thc local
police do not know Joseph MonGcaoi,
the victim Of the Crookston. Mimi,
murder and are considerably mysti-
fed by the developments III the case.
Mongeaon's name does not appear in
the local directory. The fact that ad-
vices from Crookston received by the
officials here, three days ago. indicated
that the murdered man had a letter in
his pocket bearing the maiden name Of
the wife of Joseph Guilmctt2 of this
city, and that Guilmette was with
MonEeaon when he was last seen alive,
is considered by the police as evidence
that the murder may have been COM
mitted on account of jealousy. The
mutilation of the body is also believed
to bear out this theory.
The police had not been advised,
early today, by the Crooi<ston officials
either that I'ontairc. who yesterday
was believed to be the murdered man.
had been found alive or that he han
positively identified the dead man as
Mongeaon, friend of Gulmcttc.
Inquiry ut the home Of Mrs. Gull
mctte brought forth no new light in the
case. The woman, who being French
does not understand English well. has
been gre"tly disturbed by the frcqucn,
calls of the police and newspaper men.
Fright and anxiety prevent the woman
from considering the situation intclli-
gently.
The woman said. today that she did
not know Joseph Mongeaon, nor did
she know that her husband was ac-
quainied with him. While she,
thought. yesterday. that Fontain.
might in some way have obtained a
letter bearing her name from her hus-
band. she could not explain how such
a thing could have been accomplished
by stranger and she expressed doubt
that the letter was found on the vic
tim.
Inquiry among the French COM
munities of this city. was made in
vain for Mongcaon.

Theses.

Every candidate for graduation
must present before the Faculty
thesis. This must represent orig
inal research along the line of the
Students major. 1t is supposed to
equal two full courses of regular
college work, and two credits are
given for it. 1t is source of trouble
to the Senior and pleasure to the
Faculty. To complicate matters this
year there is new rule-that Sen
Tors must have a grade on their
work the first semester. The work
cannot be put off till the last month
and then finished up with a gigantic
effort. The intention is tocause the
student to work throughout the
year and to insure the completion of
this important requirement for grad
uation. Hence comes the early
worry of the Seniors. The follow
ing are the subjects being investi-
gated;

COLLEGE NOTES
Preliminary Debate.
FROM RvERGREEN

The best aud most interesting
preliminary debate ever held at the
". A. c. occurred in the Webster
ian Society hall OH Monday night.
The result of the contest was the
selection of II w. Walter, J {.
Early and Il. n. Hinchliffe to COM
pose the team which is to meet the
Whitman team at Walla Walla some
time during the college year. f.
0. Kreager was chosen as alternate.
The debate was conducted under
rather new plans suggested by Prof.
Snow. Instead of the usual method
of one student meeting another with
constructive argument, different pro-
lessors opened thequestlons and the
contestants each rebutted the argu-
ment Of the man proceeding him.
Thus the selection of men was made
to depend on their ability to handle
argument aud not ability to formu-
late constructive arguments. The
plan will be best understood by an
account of the debate. The first
question discussed was, Should the
Monroe Doctrine be Abandoned p
Prof. Snow opened the discussion
by an argument FOR the affirmative,
combining himself to the effect of
such a step on the United States.
Keeper followed for the negative,
rebutting Mr.. Shows argument,
and was followed by Joe Brislawn,
who spoke for the affirmative. Mr..
Snow then discussed the same ques-
with regard to its effect upon the
countries of South America, and
was followed by Hooker and Kreag-
er.
Prof Beach then took up the
question, Resolved; That the In
corporation of Labor Unions is De-
sirable, " and put chip on his
shoulder for Walter to knock off.
Early followed Walter.
Mr.. Mangold opened the question,
Resolved; That Congress Should
at the Present Session Take Steps
to Effect a Gradual Change in the
Next Ten Years to the Canadian
Banking System, for the benefit of
Cornelius, Hinchliff, Goldman and
Ockerman The plan as followed
out proved a success and resulted
in the choice of a strong team. The
debate showed that we have con-
siderable good material for debaters
and makes us think that we ought
to have another debate this year.
Why not try for one with Montana?
