Fargo Man Fatally Stabbed

Charles Dolman, better known AZ
"Swede Charlie" was fatally stabbed
at Fargo at an early hour one morn. !
ing last week and died soon after he.
Ing taken to the city hall by the no.
lice. Dolman was driver of a beer +
wagon between Fargo and Moorhead |
and had been in Moorhead till a late /
hour drinking with Clara Clark, a no.
torious woman. They were seen com. |
ing to Fargo just before midnight. The
woman is under arrest, but claims the
stabbing was done by Nick Miller, an.
other friend of hers, who had been as.
saulted by Dolman with a club after
their return from Moorhead. Dolmm
was stabbed through the heart. Nick
Miller, alias %Steinkamp, finally SUI.
rendered himself to the Fargo police
and acknowledged stabbing Charles
Dolman to death, claiming he did the
deed in self-defense. Miller's story
largely corroborates that Of Carrie
Clark, the woman who had spent the
night in the Moorhead saloons with
Dolman. Miller says that Dolman
struck at him. Miller ran and was
pursued by Dolman, who struck Miller
again, breaking the club. Then Miller
stabbed Dolman through the heart. He
returned to the Clark woman's room;
told her what he had done and fled.
Dolman and Miller and the Clark Wo'
man lived at the same hotel, and Dol
man was jealous of Miller's attentions
to the woman. Miller was arrested
at Fargo last winter on a burglary
charge.

TWenty-one Wounded.

Manila, May 19.-The Moro outlaws
against whom General Leonard Wood
has been campaigning have been
killed in action, together with all the
principals. The outlaws were support
ers and followers of the sultan of Sulu.
The large chiefs of the island of Jolo
were not involved. The outbreak was
purely an aggregation of piratical out
laws and disorderly characters of Sulu
and the other islands stretching down
to Borneo. The position selected by
the outlaws for defense was in almost
impenetrable jungles and exceedingly
strong, prohibiting the use of artillery
and necessitating close contact and an
assault in two instances. General
Woods forces sustained a loss of nine
killed and twenty-one wounded. The
~constabulary had two killed.
