INDIAN WAS MURDERED.

Coroner's Inquest Gives Verdict Of
Death at Hands Of Unknown Parties.
Special to The Evening Times.
Crookston, MIMI, Aug. 22.-Coroner
Chesterman and County Attorney May
bury returned yesterday from Ebro,
where they held an inquest over the
remains of Frank Wade, the Indian
halfbred found on the track there.
The jury brought in a verdict of
death by violence at the hands of I'M
known parties, practically giving a
verdict of foul play.
Information has leaked out to the
effect that for the last thirty days
there has been a continued hot time"
at Lengthy and Elbro, in which Wade
has taken part. Two Of three squaws
of the scarlet order have been present,
and whisky and alcohol have been con-
sumed in large quantities in the. ca
rousal. During this time there have
been several free-for-all fights in
which Wade has taken a hand.
The night Wade's body was found
scattered along the Great Northern
right of way he left Ebro at about -
o'clock under the influence of liquor,
accompanied by one or two squaws and
a young man by the name of Porter.
On their arrival at Ebro, Porter asked
Wade to come in the house with him,
but he refused, saying that he was
going to stop with his woman in a
tent across the track from Porter's
house. This was the last seen by
Porter, according to Porter's story
but he was heard singing and shouting
by several parties who were stopping
at the Porter house as late as 1920
a. m.
After the body was taken to Leng-
by, one of the most shocking ca
rousals ever witnessed by white man
took place at Ebro among Wade's
remaining companies. All were beastly
'durnk. Some of them shouted, 9TH
ers cried and others quarreled. The
squaws all moaned and wept in their
drunken way.
At the inquest young Porter, his
father and a squaw were examined
closely. They told straightforward
stories, however, and only varied in
a few, minor details that proved that
their stories were not made up for the
occasion. The examination of these
witnesses lasted from 1 until 4:30 and
not once did the Indians become con-
fused in their statements. 1t was
proved that Wade left Lengthy alive
and was in Clearwater county. This
county will not have to prosecute fur
Their and 1t is up to Clearwater county
or the United States authorities to
pursue the investigation. Three parties
are under suspicion and will be
watched closely.

The strong point about this admir-
able bullet is the fiat trajectory. With
the present style of bullet. fired at a
target 1000 yards distant, one could
stand with perfect immunity at many
points between the muzzle and the tar
get, as at 500 yards the missile would
pass seventeen feet over his head. The
new bullet shows only a ten-foot rise
at this distance. Almost the entire
space between muzzle and target
would be zone of danger.
Only one fault is found by experts
with the modern bullet, and this is
lack of accuracy. They think this
may be overcome, and even if it shall
not be remedied regiment advanc-
ing and sowing the field ahead with
bullets capable of penetrating whatever
they happen to hit would disconcert
the enemy. 1t is not probable that ad-
vocates of peace will admire the fresh
device for promoting the effectiveness
of troops, but they, may gain some
comfort from the thought that an i'm
plement so destructive might give
pause to the impulse to declare war,
and. anyhow. that battle marked by
its use would be brief.

The New Army Bullet.

1t would seem that in the type of
bullet about to be adopted by the army
there is a potent argument for peace.
This bullet is third lighter than any
now in use, but it is most deadly. Its
penetrating power is such that at a
mile 1t would pass through fifteen
men. II these had the mischance to
stand in line in front Of it. At short
range It will go through thirty-nine
inches of seasoned oak. At 500 yards
thirty-two inches of white pine fail
to stop 1t, and at 1000 yards it is equal
to piercing fourteen and half inches.
The day when safety lies in lodging
behind tree appears to be passing.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
s. d. Lawyer Disappears, Chicago
Prof. Missing For Years, Appears.

Prof. Missing For Years, Appears.
From South Dakota comes a story
of coincidence. It Is a story with
a Chicago end but to begin at the
beginning, says the Chicago Record
Herald:
In 1873 there appeared in Hurley,
Turner county, 8. D., lawyer giving
his name as c. H. Goddard. who was
accompanied by a woman who claimed
to- be his wife. Goddard at once be-
gan the practice of law, in which he
was fairly successful, and in which
he accumulated considerable real es
tate, then low in price, which later
increased greatly in value.
Goddard had nothing to say of his
past life, and it soon became rumored
that his name was assumed, but no
one was ever able to prove this. Be-
ing man of ability and education, he
became active in the affairs of the
town and county, and a number of
times presented himself as a candidate
for county Office. On account of his
vacillation between different political
parties he was never successful in his
Office seeking, his last failure. being
an attempt to secure an appointment
as Judge year ago.
: Goddard. on arriving at Hurley, was
an Episcopalian, but afterward became
an active member of the Roman Catho-
lie church. On account of his attain
ments Bishop O'Gorman gained for
him an appointment to professorship
to a Catholic college at the national
capital, where he stayed for year,
and then was sent to the Philippines,
MI hn o{Ya fuyr q a
head of the Catholic schools in the
islands. He returned from that sta
ton a year ago and rejoined his fam
lily at Hurley.
While at Hurley Goddard raised a
in his childhood. The two daughters
yet live near Hurley. After his return
from the Philippines Goddard is said
left him, and is supposed to have gone
to Colorado.
Goddard continued his practice of

of Hurley, and when Goddard had dis
posed Of absolutely everything he drew
the cash out. most of 1t being paid in
500 bills. On receiving the money
he left Hurley without any announce
ment as to his destination and without
saying good-by to his old neighbors.
Now here is where the South Da-
kota folk profess to see the coinci-
dence:
1t was only few days after God
dard left Hurley with his ready cash

the normal school here. and for 81
years an absentee from home. return

Horror OF Horrors!

The bite of a girl may be as pro-
ductive of poisonous germs as inn
properly prepared foods, according to
the statements of Prof. w. d. Miller
OF the university of Berlin. In a lee
ture at Middletown. Conn.,. the pro-
fessor said that bite of a pretty girl
would often bring a quicker and more
horrible death than the bite of SER
pent. Prof. Miller. who has made a
special study of the bacteria of the
mouth. said that only short time ago
he experimental on a beautiful girl
in Germany, and found that an arrow
dipped in saliva from her mouth
would send its victim in death throes
more terrible than one dipped in tho
venom of the most deadly snake.

New Electric Derrick,

A novel application of electricity in
the handling of iron and steel is now
in operation in, Cleveland, o., in the
way of magnet This form of magnet
consists of a large iron disk supported
by chains which maybe fastened to the
hoop of a derrick or crane block. To
trio plug device connected with in
sulated wires. which by an ingenious
auxiliary pulley arrangement are led
to controller at some convenient
point at the base Of the derrick or in
the operators cab of the crane. The
disk is lowered over the material to be
lifted and the current turned on and
in this way enormous loads of material
may be gathered together and held by
the magnet as long as the current re-
mains connected Different forms of
the disk are made for handling pig
iron, heavy melting stock, such as
crop ends, butts. steel risers, small
castings, tin scrap. whether loose or in
bales, shearing scrap, rod scrap, bolts,
nuts, punches. rivet spikes, rail ends.
machine borings. flats, sheets and in
fact almost any form of iron or steel
which affords surface sufficiently
large for the magnet to act upon.
When the material has been carried to
the place where it is to be deposited
the current is turned off and the mag
net at once releases the load. Scrap
tin has always been an ugly form of
material to handle satisfactorily, but
by the use of this device 1t may be dis
posed of as rapidly and easily as
heavier stock.

the water had suddenly risen high in
the we'll and was boiling and bubbling
like cauldron, and continued to do so
all day. 1t is yet in the same condi-
ton, apparently being forced up by
some pressure from beneath, possibly
natural gas. A small vein of good
quality of Ignite coal was found just
before striking water also coarse sand.
The water is cold, very muddy and un-
fit for use, when it is first taken from
the we'll, but after it settles is good
water. Most OF the wells in that vicin-
ity are reached at about 100 feet below
the surface.
Mt. Pleasant is about the highest
point in the western part of the coun-
ty. No other evidence of gas is no.
ticed besides the bubbling and dis
turbed condition of the water, which,
If it does not subside, will puzzle the
owners as to what disposition to make
of his we'll. The we'll was located on
a slight rise of ground to be conven-
lent for new house and barn which
were intended to be built on the place
later for the tenant. There is much
curiosity as what is the cause of the
unusual actions of the we'll. and wheth-
er the bubbling and noise will continue
any length of time. None of the other
wells in the vicinity have displayed
such an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Alert.
