wARREN's CASE STILL A RIDDLE z
Preponderance of Evidence Is that
Linderoth Was Murdered.

WARREN, MINN.-Andrew Linderoth, who
was found dead in his blacksmith shop last
Saturday, undoubtedly murdered. As yet
no trace of his assalant has been found. There
does not seem to be any clue to work upon.
A bullet the size Of 44-caliber did the
work. It penetrated the heart and lungs,
breaking the third RIB the backbone. 1t
took an inward and an upward course.
Thoro search of the premises has been made
by the sheriff and others, but no trace of a
gun has been found. The load was a self-made
one, the bullet being wrapped In paper. the
paper being found in the body OF 1inderoth by
the ply sician who held the post mortem.
Llnderoth WAS drinking man, but was not
known to have any enemies. He had an in
surance.s policy for 81 .600. which contains a
provision that in case his death resulted from
suicide payment was forfeited. Some seem. to
think relative walked away with the gun so
as to remove suspicion from suicide; others
that the act was accidental, the perpetrator
being afraid to reveal his name.
No more complicated case has been known In
this section of the state for long time than
this one.

Special to The Journal
HaEre, Mont, June 16.-The act of the federal
government In Withdrawing waters for the gen.
eral reclamation scheme under the irrigation
laws has resulted in peculiar situation which
apparently works hardship to certain bona
.fde settlers in the MIX river country.
There are over 900 desert-land locations in
Chouteau county, and several hundred of them
are under the law required to make final proof
before Jan. 1, 1907: The law is absolute in re-
,quiring four years term before patent can
issued and it further requires that at least one
eighth Of the claim shall have been irrigated by
ditch dam and brought under cultivation.
! Owing to the fact that there have been two
years Of practical drought, most of the claim
sholders have been unable to irrigate their land.
TAs the federal government has drawn OF the
available water In the district for conservation
for irrigation purposes, the settlers are depend
ent upon rainfall, and the rainfall has been
either deficient entirely absent the past two
years, they have found 1t impossible to comply
with the requirements of the law. % -
The Havre Industrial association has been
called upon to endeavor to secure alienation Of
the threatened difficulties of the settlers and 1t
will endeavor to have congress pass an act for
their relief. II this is not done, the claim
holders will lose four years Of hard work and the
homestead which each expected at the end of
the prescribed period. "a ts---
