HELPED HIMSELF To
THE PETERS0NS'
PLANT
Nels J. Nelson Arrested for
Theft of $3.50 Near
Neville.

Peter Peterson, farmer living
near Neville in Nelson county, is con-
WINGED that it does not always pay to
help those who have the appearance
Of being friends. Last Friday he re-
turned from town where he had taken
a considerable quantity of wheat, and
In the evening he counted out $3.50 in
cash as the receipts of his days SALE
He and his wife had known Nels ].
Nelson for many years, and he was re-
garded as a friend. He is carpenter
by trade and has been working about
the new town and making his home
with the Petersons. He saw the
money counted out, and watched where
it was safely stored in the bureau
drawer by Mrs. Peterson, and then he
watched where she deposited the keys.
Later when Mr.. Peterson was absent
from the house, Mrs. Peterson ran over
to spend few minutes with a near
neighbor. Nelson secured the keys and
took the money from the bureau. He
took his scatchel out of the house and
hid it, and then when Mrs. Peterson
had returned he deliberately put on
his overcoat and remarked that he
was going out. He failed to return,
and on Sunday the Peterson's dis
covered that their money was gone
Mr.. Peterson came to this city and
last night located Nelson on the east
side where he was spending money
with the freedom of a prince. He was
arrested on straw charge and
brought to this city where he is being
held to await the arrival of the Mel
son county sheriff with a warrant for
his arrest.
Admits, Theft.
When questioned by Chief Lowe this
morning after being brought over from
the East Side, Nelson at first denied
having taken the money. saying that
he had so of his own. However, after
sharp cross-questioning, Chief Lowe
cornered him, showed him conflicts in
his statements, and finally got his man
to admit that he had stolen some
money from Peterson, but that the
amount was only $85. He still sticks
to this statement. He also says the
drawer was not locked, as Petersan
says. Chief Lowe telegraphed the au-
thorities at Michigan to swear out a
warrant and have the sheriff come
here, but owing to the absence of the
sheriff, Peterson himself went back
this noon to swear the warrant and
the sheriff will probably reach here
some time tomorrow.

ROBBERS ARE OLD TIMERS
The Men Worked in the Philippines,
But Were Driven Out.

The capture of the Sawyer bank rob-
bers near Minot has led to some inter-
esting disclosures. Several detectives
who have been working on the past
records of the quartet have discov-
cred that the robbers are all old timers
at the business, despite the youthful
appearances of the men.
1t has been learned definitely that
three members Of the gang, Duffy,
Robinson and Conroy, operated in the
philippines, coming derectly to San
Fransisco.
In the Philippines they did some bad
Jobs and got out as soon as the scent
OF the detectives brought them too
close to danger. At San Francisco the
men took in the man they call Sullivan
and the gang worked eastward. At
Butte. Mont, Hayes joined the gang
and they cracked safes east to the Da-
kota line. The Sawyer job was the
first one they did in North Dakota.

LARGE VOTE POLLED
EARLY IN THE
Murky Weather Did Not Keep
Grand Forks People From
Voting.

Election day in Grand Forks
dawned not altogether beautiful or
roseate. but the people Of this city,
having become Injured to all kinds of
weather, and the interest manifest in
election being more intense than usual,
large crowd was out early. 1t was
estimated that over third of the total
vote had been cast by 1890 q. m.
Workers for both parties-republi-
can and democrat-were numerous in
the different voting precincts Of the
city. The electioneering was done in
the first person more then by proxy,
and practically every available vehicle
in the city was in use, bringing voters
to and from the polls.
The lady vote. which had been anti
cipated would be exceedingly heavy.

favorable weather, did not show M a

Election day being legal holiday.
the university, public schools, banks
and in fact all public institutions in the
strict sense of the word were closed,
IN order that no one might be denied
the privilege of exercising the right of
franchise. The Evening Times predicts
that so far as the city is concerned,
the vote will be lighter than that cast
at the municipal election last spring.
1t Is difficult to forecast the results In
either city or county, with reference
to any candidate other than Juige
Fisk, whom the campaign managers Of
both parties concede will run consider
able ahead Of his ticket.
Election Returns.
AS has been previously announced,
the county central committees of the
two parties have Joined in making ar
rangements for receiving returns To-
night, and to that end have secured
the use Of the court room in the DIS
trict court. Returns Of city, county,
state and national elections will be re-
ceived there tonight as late az anyone
remains to hear them. Those who de-
sire to secure information should,
therefore, not quizz the Newspapers,
but make direct inquiries at the court
house.
The polls will close at i've O'Clock,
and the counting Of returns will begin
in the several precincts Immediately
thereafter.
The following was the vote cast up
to 2:30 this afternoon in the various
wards of the city:

Another burglary occurred Friday
night at Harvey, N. D. D. H. Larson
and w. f. Low were the victims this
time. At Mr.. Larson's place the burg
lars removed Il screen from the open
window of his sleeping apartment;
took his clothing from a chair close
to the window and got away with
about $35 in cash. At W. E. Lows
place they effected an entrance to his
stable and stole new set of harness.
The burglary is supposed to be the
work of local parties who were fam

Valley City Normal School Wins Game
by Score Of 8 to 0.

Valley City, N. D.. Nov. 6.-Yeste,.
day afternoon the Valley City normal
team defeated the Fargo college foot
ball team by the decisive score of 9 to
0. Both institutions have exceptionally
good teams and the battle was one of
the hardest fought ever played on the
local grounds. The victory is especial
ly sweet to the Valley City normal
team, as the Fargo team at first de-
clined to give the normal game,
contending that they were not in their
class.

A MURDER At DEVILS
LAKE MONDAY
NIGHT
John GENE Stabbed to Death
Last Night by Unknown
Assassins.
Special to The Eve,i.s ri~e..

Special to The Eve.ins Times,
Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. 6.-The
finding of the badly mutilated remains
of John GEM at an early hour this
morning. near the race tracks several
blocks southwest of town, disclosed
the fact that murder was committed
tn this city last night.
Shortly after 8 o'clock a lady resi-
dent Of the section of the city named,
IN taking short cut" to neighbors,
passed through a clump of weeds. She
was Mortified when she stumbled upon
the dead body of man, but at once
gave notification to the police authori-
ties.
Sheriff Mclean and Chief of Police
Hurst. accompanied by others, at once
went to the scene. Investigations at
first indicated the possibility of sui
eide, but latter and more thorough
inspection Of the wounds which were
found upon GEM body revealed be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that he
was the victim of foul play. He had
been stabbed a number of times about
the body. twice or thrice in the back,
where it would have been impossible
for him to have made wounds him.
self.
At this writing there is practically
no clue whatever to the murderer, or
murderers. This much is known, how
ever, that when last seen alive Mon
day night, GEM was partly intoxicated
and in the compan> of two or three
strangers who were also drinking.
That he was killed for the purpose
Of robbery is altogether improbable,
for he was seen borrowing money from
one of his companions last night.
The murdered man was common
laborer, about IS years of age, and
for several weeks up till Saturday had
been employed by different farmers
about the county. The remains were
inspected by the coroner, and are now
in holding at the undertaking parlors
of Gilbertson, the funeral director. An
inquest will be held probably this af-
ternoon.
The wounds which marked the dead
mans body appear to have been made
by hunting knife, and those in his
back we're probably responsible for
death. The body and clothing were a
mass of blood when found.
Whether CAM was murdered at the
point where his body was found or
whether he was killed some place else
and the remains hidden in the clump
of weeds where they were afterwards
found, is not apparent.
