WAS 1T MURDER?
Inquest Over Body of Man Run Over by Train Sunday
Develops suspcions-Bruses and Cuts Unac-
counted For.

Coroner G. S. Chesterman arrived
from Crookston this morning and at
once began an investigation into the
death of Albert Bergstad. who was run
over by freight train on the Great
Northern few minutes after 3 o'clocl,
yesterday morning. A coroner's Jury
was impaneled, consisting of John
Martins, Herman Luck, Hugh Dunlayy.
r. Arneson, NJ. J. Sullivan and Free
man Corliss. The jury convened at
the undertaking rooms of d. ]. Sulli-
van, and proceeded to examine num-
Der of witnesses. 1t was a general
suspicion that the dead man was the
victim of foul play, and the iury
sought all the light possible upon this
question.
1t was found that the deceased was
from Northwood, Ia. and was en-
ployed in the construction of the Great
Northern roundhouse in this city. He
was thirty-one years of age and un-
married. He drew his pay Saturday
evening, the amount being $19. He. in
company with his brother Silver Berg
stad, purchased some clothes, part
OF which the deceased paid for out of
his own money. He then went across
the river, and when the jury took a
recess at noon today. his actions from
the time he reached East Grand Forks
until after midnight were practically
unaccounted for. He was at the sa-
loon of Hans Rustad during the night.

He left that place sometime near 2
o'clock. going toward the bridge. He
was not seen again until he was run
over by the train between the bridge
and the depot on the east side. When
he left Gustad's saloon he was some-
what under the influence of liquor,
but was able to take care of himself.
and was not even staggering.
The story of the accident was told
by the trainmen and is substantially
as follows: The engineer first saw
him when the engine was three or
four cars away from him. He was ~
ing across the rail with his head and
upper part of his body inside the track.
He saw the white shirt front and the
face which was toward the engine. He
applied the air, and blew the whistle
at its full force and when he came

A SAD ENDING
Of a Happy visit-Mrs. Ovens
Of Indian Head, sask.,
Dies in CITY.

On Sunday morning at the Deacon
ess hospital occurred the death of Mrs.
George Ovens, of Indian Head, Sas-
katchewan, following an illness of
peritonitus of less than a week. The
deceased arrived from Canada about
fortnight ago for a visit with her
sister, Mrs. Rowan, wife of the we'll
known druggist at Thompson, and
while there was suddenly taken i'll and
removed to the hospital in this city.
The sick lady gradually grew worse
and the husband was sent for. He ar
rived here and was with her when the
Angel of Death came to relieve the
sufferer.
The deceased was IS years of age
and leaves sorrowing husband and
a little son of 8 or 9 years to mourn
her untimely death. She was cousin
of Mrs. James Coulter of this city,
and Mr.. Coulter accompanied the
grief-stricken husband Sunday night

ner, Ontario, where the remains are

MILLION ACRES OF
LAND OPENED
TODAY
Drawing for Grow Indian Res
ervation Tracts Attracts
Many People.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Billings. Mont. July 2.-This city is
filled with thousands of visitors, who
are here for the drawing OF the Crow
Indian reservation lands, which began
today. Good order is being maintained
despite the size of the crowds and the
fact that the visitors represent all
classes and walks of life. The draw
ing is being conducted in the public
park, the method being the same as
was used at the opening of the Rose
bud and Uintah reservations.
The land which has been thrown
open to settlement lies across the
Yellowstone south of this place, and
is somewhat more than one-third of
the entire acreage of the northern part
of the reservation. 1t contains about
one and quarter millions of acres,
and is the largest cession of Indian
lands ever made by the government.
OF this great tract about 100000 acres
can easily be cultivated. For this
purpose the government has made sur
veys of four irrigation projects on this
portion of the tract. The irrigated
land is estimated to be worth SIS to
$125 an acre, and is subject to entry
under the homestead act and the ma
tional irrigation law. It is interesting
to note that this is the first land to
be disposed of under the national ir-
rigation law.

HIS FAREWELL
Rev. Hays breaches Farewell
Sermon Sunday to Large
Audience.

Rev. Frank Harper Hays. pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of this
city for the past years.-one of the
most popular clergymen Grand Forks
has known-Sunday morning at 1920
preached his last sermon and final ad-
monition TO the members of the con-
gregation over whose spiritual needs
he has presided for so long.
The church auditorium was filled to
capacity. During the course of his
address Rev. Hays took occasion to
thank his people for the many kind
nesses and courtesies he and the good
wife had experienced at their hands
during the period of their residence
here. He assured them that he would
always have kind word and a happy
memory for and of Grand Forks peo-
pie.
Rev. and Mrs. Hays are soon to
leave for the east, going direct to
Indianapolis. Ind. He has not yet an
nounced his plans for the future.
Grand Forks people, including The
Evening Times, wish for him and his
wife every success the future can pos
sibly afford.

near, halloed to the man but he did not
move. The engine and two cars pass
ell over the body, severing the right
arm. When the train was stopped the
body was found outside the rail. badly
cut and bruised. This WAS about 3:OS
in the morning The trainmen all
agree as to the details of what took
place and the condition in which the
body was found. The brakeman, who
was the first to reach him, tried to
open his eyes, but they were set. Life
was not extinct and he was removed
to the hospital, where he died later.
The things which look suspicious
and point to foul play is the fact that
he was lying with his face directly
toward the engine, and the cuts in the
face are on the cheek and on the side
which was turned upward. There is
but one thing which could make these
cuts and that is the iron step on the
pilot, but the conductor called atten-
ton to the fact that these cuts were
about an inch apart. one above the
other, and that it would be almost I'M
possible for this to be done by the
same object. Another thing, not
brought out in the evidence, however,
is the fact that according to the posi-
ton of the body at the time it was
struck, the cuts were perpendicular to
the foot board which was supposed
to have caused them.
James Mcclellan, who works at the
livery stable. heard a quarrel in the
direction of the Great Northern tracks
about $3.50, in the morning, and heard
one man ask another if he would give
it up" Earlier in the evening strang-
er came TO the stable to find the direc-
ton to the Great Northern track and
stated that he was going to ST. Paul
on the freight. He thought he had
lost his knife. but later found it in his
coat pocket, open.
When found, the deceased had a five
dollar bill and $1.5G in change on his
person.
The remains will be taken to his old
home at Northwood, Ia, for interment
as soon as the inquest is complete.
The jury rendered a verdict late
this afternoon that deceased came to
his death by means unknown to the
jury.

Saved fhe C0unfy.

The Crookston Times says that by
rejecting the bids that were offered
about week ago, County Auditor Nels
A. Hoffard saved Polk county neat
sum, the work being let today to con-
tractors for more than cents yard
less on the entire three bitches. The
lowest bid last week was 10 cents
yard, which is the maximum price that
can be charged for the work accord
ing to law. This was thought to be
too high by Mr.. Hoffard and he re-
jected the work and adjourned the
meeting until today. AS result the
taxpayers have reson to rejoice. D. A.
Hamilton of Fisher was awarded the
work for ditch No. 81 in the towns OF
Lowell and Andove at 1921 cents a
cubic yard. w. NJ. Brown of Fisher
was given the work on ditch No. SO

These steamers operate from sta
lions along the coast and kill their
prey within the radius of days
run, whereas old time whalers made
long voyages of months and sometimes
years. The new method provides fac
tories at suitable points on the coast,

lions into extract of meat; the refuse
becomes guane, or fertilizer. The
skeleton bones are ground up and
made into unbreakable crOckeryware:
the skin of the intestines is converted
into leather, and fluids of the body into
glue.
With all these possibilities it would
seem as if the industry could not fail.
Its collapse, however, is due to over.
development of the business.
The enterprise started in 1896 with
one steamer and one factory, and
within two years had become so sue
cessful that it was paying dividends
of fifty per cent. This induced another
company to start with equal success,
and soon the development of the in
dustry took on the character of a
craze pure and simple; everybody
wanted TO invest in the whaling in

every day The legislature then in
tervened and to prevent the total de-
struction of the fish enacted a measure
for the regulation of the industry. 1t
divided the coast into fifty mile Sec
lions, within which only one steamer
and one factory were to be allowed to
operate. while there were other limit
ations against excessive fishing which
tended to keep the industry within
reasonable bounds"
