VOLUME XIV.
A BRUTAL MURDER
A murder took place about one and
one-half miles north Of Columbia. s. D.,
on the afternoon Of July 4th when q
man by the name Of 7. Marsalkee
was shot and killed by one supposed to
be William Moser. &
The murder was Of q most brutal ma
ture. At the inquest, which was held
before Justice Of the Peace Lyman
Turner. it developed that death was
caused by two bullet wounds. One shot
entered the mans breast ut the right
nipple and yet remains in the body.
The other shot went into the man's face
just on the right side Of the nose and
came cut of the left ear, tearing part
Of the lobe away. According to testi-
monyS it Is probable that the shot
through the face was discharged after
the other one had taken effect and
after the victim had fallen to the
ground. 41. .s5lI.
The person who Is suspected Of the
murder, Is one, William Moser, who IS
now under arrest and confined in the
Brown county Jail ii Aberdeen. He il
q young fellow, barely Is years
Of age. He claims to have come from
Strawberry Point, Iowa, where he has
father and mother, last spring. For
some time he worked for farmer near
Ludden, and fer q few days before the
murder he worked as q section hand at
Columbia. He has the appearance Of a
Degenerate.
The reason why Moser is suspected
Of the crime is that he was seen at Co
lumbia with the murdered man an hour
preceding the commission Of the crime
and because, when arrested, he was in
tree claim not far from the scene Of
the murder with SO cafibre revolver
ia his possession. An examination Of
the weapon showed three bright new
cartridges and two black smoky ones,
which lead the officers to think
that he reloaded his weapon after he
discharged it.
Moser was found in the tree claim on
Gus Wahl's place. Moser was entirely
unconcerned and had partaken Of q
lunch at the Wahl home just short
time before he was arrested. He made
strong denial Of the crime, but on his
person was found the pistol, already
describedand $l2 in naoney. Il was
known that when he was at Columbia
he was without funds. The murdered
mans pockets gave signs that some
body had been through them for the
sake of rsbbery.
The murdered man was about thirty
years Of age. He was light completed,
with sandy moustache. He was well
dressed. He had never been seen in
Columbia prior to the tine he took q
lunch at the Columbia hotel in company
with Moser. 81,
The suspect was confined for a. short
time to the city Jail at Coinmbia. He
was shown the victim, whose death he
was accused Of causing, and asked to
identity him. At this point Moser
broke down and naadeno aAswAr. He
was then put in the car and taken to
Aberdeen. 9sa35

fourishing his pistol, threatening that
he would kill someone. The opinion Of

OWosso.

Most Owosso people work every day
in some strained unnatural position =
bending constantly over desk-riding
on jolting wagons or cars-doing labor
ious homework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hun
dred and one ways. All these strains
tend to wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys until they fall behind in their
work of filtering the poisons from the
blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys, put new atrength in bad
backs. Owosso cures prove it.
Mrs. William Wilkes, living at 213 N.
Chapman ST., Owosso. Mich, says: Il
suffered quite little from kidney
trouble, brought on, no doubt by hard
work. My back ached great deal and
every sudden move caused severe pains
to dart through my loins and kidneys.
If I stopped to lift anything, the pains
would always be most severe. 1 pro-

EFFECTIVE POLICE WORK.

One of the victims OF the most recent
murderoUs assault in Salt Lake City
viii probably succumb to his injuries
The other victim, though painfully hurt
seems certain TO recover. Thanks to
the prompt action of the police depart
ment both of the murderers are safely
behind strong steel bars. There will
be absolutely no justification for any
failure to infiiet upon the prisoners the
extreme penalty of the law.
For, there are no extenuating cir
cumstances around their crime. Under
the pretext of wishing to dispose of
some junk they lured their victims TO
lonely part of the city and there set
upon them with deadly weapons with
the intention of killing and robbing
them. No chance whatever was given
to the men assailed. Both were struck
down from behind and both were beat
en- until their assailants felt certain
they were fatally injured. A more de-
liberate, malicious crime was never
plotted and carried out in Salt Lake
City
1t is a comfort to know that the
thugs are locked up and that there is
no question as to their guilt. They went
out with murder in their hearts and
they committed murder That only one
of their victims is dead is by no means
their fault. They tried hard enough
to murder both of them. And it is pc
culiarly~.fortunate in more ways than
one that the second man escaped death.
Through him the Identification and
prompt arrest of the murderers was
made possible. And the police deserve
credit for the rapidity with which they
worked. Within a few hours after the
crime was committed they had the
murderers under arrest. Better still,
they had elected a confession from
them. The conviction of the men would
have been possible, however, without
any confession. and the fact that they
have told the story, or at least that one
of them has told the story, cannot be
used in extenuation.
One of the murderers of Patrolman
Ford is under arrest. The other two
are we'll known, and it is not probable
that they can long escape the officers
of the law Doesn't it strike you that
it is about time we had some execu-
tions i'm the Utah penitentiary? Can
we longer afford to cheaper human life
and to indirectly encourage crimes Of
violence i'm this state?

There is nothing in the late unpleas-

During the debate Mr.. De Almond saw
fit to can in question the veracity of the
gentleman from Mississippi.
Mr.. Williams very promptly struck
him. Mr., De Almond retanated, and
some very pretty fsticuns' were in

separated by officers Of the house. and
friends. OF course, our Republican con-
temporaries are going to comment caus-
tically on the ARRAY They will refer
TO it as "a disgraceful brawl,' and all
that sort of thing and they will wonder
what the country is coming to when
such things can happen. Also they will
solemnly declare that here is another

If two Republican representatives had

party would have mighty little TO say.
And. indeed there is little cause for
comment Ii is human for men To
disagree. it is human for them to let
their tempers get the better of them on
occasions of trial. Doubtless both the
gentleman from Mississippi and his col
league from Missouri are sorry their
encounter took place. but it is doubt
full If either would act differently if
the same proceeding were TO be gone
through again.
Encounters of a physical character
are not Of infrequent occurrence in pri-

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky sprang
suddenly into fame because he tweaked
the nose of Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire.
We are inclined to believe that on
the whole, it is better to have these
little troubles than not to have them.
They indicate an interest in public
work. a gingery feeling. II would not
be pleasant to see the house trans
formed into a pugilistic arena, but a
little bout now and then is relished by
