PROBING MURDER MYSTERY
Authorities Doubt Self Defense Plea of
Albert Schulz.

FERGUS FALLS, AIINN.-The legal machin-
cry of the county is busily engaged in endeav-
oring to ascertain the truth or falsity Of the
story told by Albert F. Schulz, the self confessed
nun derer Of Fred Wagner, and the outlook is
that his self defense claim will be shown to be
utterly untenable when the case against him
comes to trial
The terms of the agreement under which the
two men were working have been ascertained,
and it appears that they were to be paid for
whatever amount Of wood they cut. and were
not compelled to cut any specific amount Pay
ment could not, be secured until their employer,
who lived at Pelican Rapids, had measured up
the wood. Schulz claims that he wanted to 20
home, while Wagner insisted that he should re-
main and continue the work, and finally attacked
him with hammer when he declared that he
was going. Under the terms Of their agreement,
it is apparent that Wagner could have gained
absolutely nothing by keeping him and that ii
anything, it was to his advantage to let him
go as he would then be the ground alone
when the wood was measured and could claim
whatever share he saw fit.
Schulz says in his confession that after shoot
ing Wagner he took what money he had and
invented the story. that he had gone to Can:
ada; that Wagner had robbed him of $50 before
leaving and arranged to have all the money fol
their winters work sent to him, besides taking
all the dead mans clothing and effects. These
not points in his favor The state, it is
said, will be able to show from the course OF
the bullets that the murdered man was moi
standing over him with a hammer at the time
| they were fired, as they came from above rather
than from below. +.
Wagners father and brother came up from
Redwood county today to claim the body. Mr.
Wagner says that Schulz was inclined to b,
quarrelsome, and that he drank a good dea
for boy Of his age.

Block on States Resources.

Julius H. Block. state treasurer and
candidate for governor, spoke on "Min-
nesota s Resources. He recalled the
time when Charles Scheffer assumed the
office of state treasurer in 1860, finding
5000 in cash and $4,000 in unpaid war
rants, selling below par. The state was
rich, even then, in natural resources.
Mr. Block continued:
1--WE owe an everlasting debt of
gratitude to those earl y legislators who
framed laws for the preservation of this
wealth. They wisely provided by con-
stitutional provisions, permanent trust
funds for our educational institutions
and other purposes. These funds are
created out of the sale of state lands,
the sale of timber and royalty on iron
ore mined from state lands. These
funds must ever remain inviolate and
can only be invested in bonds, and only
the interest aecruing therefrom can be
used for the purposes indicated. From
this source the state now owns bonds of
other states aggregating $6,5O0,O0O. 1t
also loans money to our own municipal
titles, cities, villages, counties, townships
and school districts, Tor purposes OF pub
lie buildings and other improvements,
and now has some $3,OOO,00O so in
vested. And there is no safer form of
investment for these funds.
Drainage of Low Lands.
"Of recent years the question of
drainage of the low lands has come up
for consideration. There can be no
doubt of the Importance Of retaining
as rapidly as possible our area of wet
lands, which can be made valuable for
agricultural purposes, and which will
add greatly to the state's taxable valua-
ton.
-. with liberal laws favoring the new
settler, the state sells it's agricultural
lands on terms that attract immigra
ton. Where waved the billowy prairie
grass is now garden; where once the
Indian, pursued the deer is now thriv
ing city. Ours is state of happy homes
of churches and schools. No other com
monwealth has such varied and impor
tant industries, such wealth of forest
field and mine, such vast natural re
sources or so valuable public properties
And the state s actual cash investment:
are priceless heritage for our children
and our children children. It is in
| deed fortunate to be Minnesotan.'
