A Brutal Murder.
On Tuesday night at Sisseton Night
Waterman Swanton was called to the
Fitzpatrick candy store TO take care of
a man who had been pounded into a
sensless condition, who, we understand
was found by two young men lying on
a bed in the building. The man was
found to be l.. NJ. Hanson who recently
purchased the old Farmers Home hotel
building and it is supposed having
become somewhat intoxicated and
started for the building where he was
stopping while putting it in repair and
by mistake got into the wrong building
and lying down and going TO sleep. 1t
is told that these young men dragged
the man into the street where they
pounded and kicked him in a brutal
manner after which they notified the
night Waterman as above stated. 1t
makes no difference what the provoca-
ton was there seems no excuse for such
brutal force. The man at this writing
lies at the hotel in an unconscious con-
dition. Mr.. Swanton brought Mr..
Hanson to the police station at once
and summoned DIR. Brown to attend his
injuries. The doctor stayed all night
with the injured man but he did no
fully regain consciousness. Mr.. Swan
ton swore out warrants for Will Fitz-
patrick and Arthur J~ourdain, and they
were brought before Justice Prindevllle
n held to answer for the crime and
are at this writing in the county Jail.
Mr.. Hanson died yesterday after
noon at the hotel. He leaves a wife
and several small children, who have
the sympathy of the entire community
in their sad bereavement. The parties
responsible for the brutal crime are
held in Jail without bail, and their
punishment seems reasonably certain.
AS a result of the Investigation of the
%coroner's jury William Fitzpatrick has
been held guilty of the murder of L. N.
Hanson.
