PARTS OF THE STATE.
Remarkable Story of Crime, Remorse
and Final Suicide Of the Crimi-
nal in Atonement for His
BrutaI. Deed.

A strange story was sent out from
Minot last week. Should the story
prove true 1t adds a tragic sequel to a
brutal crime committed near Youngs-
town, O., many years ago. According
to the story Charles HerZig, who had
been working as a hired man On the
farm Of Frank Dyer near Minot, under
the name Of Frank Hall, disappeared
and is supposed to have committed
suicide. Herzig left a long letter in
which he claimed that in 1874 he as
saulted and murdered a young girl
named Lizzie Grombacker in a clump
of bushes near Youngstown, o. After
the crime Herzig traded shirts with a
tramp named Charles Sterling, giving
the man Is cents to boot.
Herzig was not seen near the scene
of the crime, while Sterling was, and
the latter was arrested and after two
trials was convicted and hanged.
Sterling's mother went from Canada
to Youngstown to help her son, but
Sterling denied that he was her son,
to save her from the stigma of dis
grace.
The blood-stained shirt traded to
Sterling by Herzig was the strongest
evidence against the convicted man.
Herzig in his letter stated that he
would commit suicide where his body
could not be found. He said emorse
was compelling him to take his own
life.
Advices from Ohio show that the
murder was committed and Charles
Sterling was hanged for the crime.
According to an unconfirmed report
the body Of Herzig was found hang
ing from a tree over a cliff in a re-
mote part of the unorganized county
of Wallace. but the belief Is held By
some people, including Mr.. Dyer, that
the man named August Young, who
committed suicide near Minot, was
none other than HerZig. Young
hanged himself from a sapling with a
clothesline.

Barnhurst to stop, but instead of do
ing so Captain Fassel put on full
steam and started for the line. He
could not be headed by the V~igilant.
1t has become quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line,
regardless of strict orders from the
companies employing them. They
never think of surrender when there
is a chance to run away. The Barn
hurst lost a large quantity of nets.
