Letters to Friend.

A letter to woman named Miss
May Foster of Fargo indicated that
Appelby was not very careful about
his associations. This letter had been
written on the Antlers' stationery, but
had never been mailed. He asked the
woman to quit the life she was lead
ing and go with him. A letter from
Nina Amundson, dated Hudson, Wis,
March 20. told of the love she had
for him. 1t began with Dear Sweet
Earl" She was evidently deaf
mute, from the letter.
Chronic Commissions.
This morning DR.. Dewitt and DR..
Erwin both made examinations of
Appelby at the hospital. Each ex-
pressed the opinion that death was
but a matter of a few hours. At noon
the victim was suffering with chronic
commissions and his neck and head had
swelled to a great size, due to the
congested condition of blood vessels.
The bullet is inside the skull but no
attempt was made to probe for it.
Appelby came to this city on March
26. He is proprietor of 1.-THE Indus
trial Review" newspaper published
at Riceville, Iowa. He took orders
from nearly hundred local concerns
at 81 each for space advertising in the
paper.
Ever since located in his room,
wallowing in his own blood. Appelby
has been endeavoring to communicate
with those about him by means of the
deaf and dumb code.

THREE ADDITIONS
MADE TO THE
FACULTY
Board of Regents Makes Ap-
pointments Chicago Man
at Head.

At the meeting of the board of re-
gents of the university, which was adj
tourned on Thursday. the faculty Of
the institution was swelled by the ad-
dition of three new members. Sew
eral promotions of the present men,
bers of the faculty were also author
lied.
Prof. Gustavus Ruetiger of Chicago
was made director of the public health
laboratory, a department established
by the North Dakota legislature at
its last session. The appointee is
graduate of the University of Wis
consin. and also of the Rush Medical
college, being engaged at the present
time in taking a P. H. d. degree in
the Chicago university.
Prof. Gottfried HUT of the North
Dakota agricultural college was cleo
ted to the position of professor in
Greek at the university. He is an
educator of ability, and has been at
the Fargo institution since 1900.
Superintendent c. C. Schmidt of the
jamestown, high school was elected
to the position of professor in edu-
cation in the teachers college. 1t
is also probable that he will be the
university visitor to high schools, and
he will eventually have complete
charge of the modern high school,
which is soon to be part of the
university. Mr.. Schmidt has been in
the jamestown schools for twelve or
fourteen years.
Prof. r. E. Birdzell, who has been
assistant professor in the law school
was made full professor.
Prof. A. J. Becker, who has been
assistant professor in the college Of
mechanical engineering, was made
professor in applied mathematics and
mechanical drawing.
Prof. Koch, who has been instructor
in English. was made assistant pro-
lessor in public speaking.
DR.. ]. E. Boyle. who has been as
sistant professor in the department of
economics and sociology, was made
full professor.
Three new positions were created
. by the board. An assistant In shop
work and an assistant in economics
and history are the two new positions.

BULLET ENDS LIFE
Of UNFORTUNATE
LOVER
Harold Peterson Used Revol-
yer With Which to End
Earthly Existence.
HIS AIM WAS VERY TRUE
And Death Came a Few Min
utes Later-Inquest Be-
ing Held Today.
HIS AIM WAS VERY TRUE

Harold Peterson, aged % years,
respondent over love affairs, put a
bullet into his head Thursday morning
at the Riismon farm in Forde town
ship, Nelson county. The aim of the
unfortunate man was true to it's pur-
pose, death coming only few minutes
after it was fired.
Peterson has been employed on the
Riismon farm for some time past. He
was a young man of good habits, and
his suicide created sensation. The
authorities at Lakota were notified of
the affair yesterday afternoon, and
this morning an inquest was started.
While no exact cause has been given,
it is claimed that love affairs were re-
sponsible for the mans deed. 1t is
known that he had been paying at
tention to a young lady of late, and
1t also appeard that his love was not
reciprocated.
When found, Peterson had a terrible
looking wound in his forehead. The
bullet had gone straight to the mark,
life ebbing out quickly after.
The Riisman farm is about twenty
miles south of Lakota, and it was i'm
possible to secure many of the details
of the affair.

mere technicalities and that too, when
Fargo herself has neglected to COM
ply with several requirements of the
law.
President Hunter said this morn
ing: Il have received no official
notice of any suit and until that time
will make no statement regarding
future plans. Fargo has no right to
the state fair this year and we are
not the least bit alarmed that it's cam
paign will bear any fruit except in the
way of reaction. We made applica-
ton to the state auditing board some
time ago for the annual appropriation
and have not yet been turned down
on that proposition AS l said before
we are not losing any sleep. If they
bring their suit Hon. J. H. Bosard will
look after our interests"
The section which the Fargo board
will endeavor to use as pry into the
states strong box is as follows:
I'm the event of the failure of either
association to comply with the provis-
ions Of this act, then the other asso-
citation shall be entitled to hold a state
fair upon its grounds and receive the
appropriation made for the association
failing to comply with the provisions
of this act. and such failure on the
part of either association shall oper-
ate to permanently establish the state
fair upon the grounds of the other as
