GROUND TO PIECES
WAS BODY Of
WALL
Accident Occurred Monday
Evening North of Munich
on Great Northern.
BRIDE OF TWO WEEKS
May Lose Reason as Result of
the Death of Her
Husband.
BRIDE OF TWO WEEKS

When Cornelious Wall kissed his
bride Of two weeks goodbye last eve
ming at Munich, he little supposed that
death was soon to come, but such was
the case. Wall was going from Munich
to the water tank about three-quar-
tiers, of a mile north of Munich, when
he was hit by the Russell snow plow
and literally ground to pieces.
When the snow pillow arrived at Sar-
les, and Engineer Mahon was inspect
ing his engine, he found pieces of
clothing, coffee can and blood on the
pillow. That an accident had occurred
was certain, and when the passenger
train came down this morning, a close
search was made, resulting in grue-
some discovery, the finding of pieces of
the mans body along the track for
distance of over four miles, and
the finding Of the main portion of the
unfortunate mans anatomy Indica-
tons are that the body was carried a
distance of fifteen miles before it
dropped from the pillow under the
wheels.
At one place an arm and hand
were found, and at another his cap
and other pieces of clothing.
The young bride ia almost crazed
with grief, and grave doubts are en-
tertained for her recovery.

BOARD WAS SUSTAINED
Town Of Schafer, Mckenzie County,
Wins County Seat Removal
Case.

Yesterday evening at Fargo in the
case of the town of Alexander VS.. the
board of county commissioners of Nc
Kenzie county, Judge Pollock handed
down decision that the county seat
must be removed Immediately from
Alexander to Schafer as ordered by
the commissioners some time ago.
Judge Pollock ruled that the write re-
straining the board from carrying out
its order that the county seat be
moved, was not judicial and therefore
the writ could not lie.
Attorneys Geo. A. Bangs of Grand
Forks and T. S. Becker of Williston,
represented the commissioner, while
Attorney Palda of Minot looked after
the interests of Alexander.
The case will probably be appealed.
