story of the Breton farmer.
There was farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell visitor how his
farm had been overrun with pies. Pies,
you know. are large birds, black and
white, with long tails-a kind of crow.
The farmer said the pies devastated
his fields horribly. If he put UP scare
crows, the birds tore them down. One
day his young son ran into the granite
farmhouse and shouted:
"'Oh, father, hundreds and hundreds
of birds! The wheat is being all eaten

where was the shot? 1t couldn't be

were gala nights for the Sunday school
children of Pembina. The reporter was
not able to take them all in, in person,

that the birth of the Christ child was
celebrated in Pemblna at least to theiu
supreme satisfaction-and they were
those for whom satisfaction was espec-
tally intended. The Presbyterian church
was filed to the doors on Tuesday night
to listen to the cantata "Santa has the

Foul apd Brutal Murder

Arthur LeClaire was murdered at
Neche on Sunday night last. LeClaire
was fireman on the G. N. Ry., living at
Grand Forks and had come home to
visit at his fathers at Neche for the
holidays. He was about tweuty-four
years of age and was popular among his
friends. According to the evidence
given at the coroner's inquest, the story
in brief is about like this:
LeClaire and young o. Brien hadfbeen
around town the evening previous, at
various places, until about IL
o'clock when they parted, LcClaire say
ing that he was going home. O'Brien
went home arriving there about His.
Both of the young men had been drink
ing beer but neither was intoxicated.
In the early morning LeClaire's father
went to look for his son who had not ar
rived at home, He went to the residence
of VIM. Folker, and told him about it
and together they went on the search.
Mr.. F. thinking the missing man might
have gone to the rink on the river, went
that way. They soon found pool Of
blood in the SNOW, then another pool
and trail as Of body being dragged
that led down the river bank. Below
the dam where the swift water prevent.
cd freezing, they found LeClaire's hat.
Then getting an AZ they cut away some
OF the ice and found the body Of the
murdered man. At the post norton IL
was shown that the back Of LeCIaire,s
head had been battered in BY about ton
blows from bluntinstrumeht, presum-
fsbly from . lathing hatchet which was
found near the SCENE. II was also shown
that LeClaire was desd before he ~

"suaay Southern Alberta Wheat.

Geo. McCabe, ex-sheriff of this county
who lives at Grafton, and who with his
brothers, James and John, run line of
elevators in this state and Canada, was
in the city last week.. He was here in
tervewing the customs officers in refer
ence to the impoatrtion of frosted wheat
from Alberta. The wheat of which he
had samples, was SO badly injured that
it was fit for nothing bnt feed and not
too good for that.
But the former decision of the Score.
tary of the Treasury was brought up,
which rules out anything.that is "wheat'
except on the twenty-five cent revenue
rate. AS the stuff was hardly worth
twenty-five cents for grinding, of course
there will be no importations. 1t was
not good advertisement of sunny
Southern Alberta" either. Another
gentleman named Bell who happened
to be present, also showed some samples
from Saskatoon, which were pronounced
by Mr.. McCabe and two of our local
buyers as good grade of No. l North
ern, Mr.. Bell said that he had sold the
same wheat as grade No. 3 and that he
had to fight to keep it from being
graded as No. 4. He only got q cents a
bushel for it when the same kind OF
wheat was selling for dollar or more
at Pembina.

After many years of remarkable peace
along criminal lines the citizens of this
county we're greatly shocked this week
to learn that the festivities and pleasures
of the Christmas season were marred by
a death from violence. The fact
that this occurrence is likely to be
court matters in the near future makes
this paper somewhat chary of publish
fishing any more than brief outline OF
the facts as they are now supposed to
be. 1t is hard at the time of this publ
cation to distinguish between facts and
mere rumor, and thus far the coroner's
Jury has not reported. Hence what we
give is but heresay, from which the act
ual facts will have to be sifted by the
courts.

dollars on his person the night before
and only some small change and his
watch when found, robbery is supposed
to DO the motive nof the crime. His
watch stopped at 1l:19. When placed
in water at the inquest the watch ran
seven minutes.
Two men were arrested on suspicion,
both strangers. One was German
named Schneider and mulatto named
r. T. Duggan. There seems to be but
little beyond the fact that tho former is
q stranger and a sort Of hobo to connect
him with the murder. In the case o
the negro there are some rather suspic-
ious circumstances.
The next morning the negro went to q
restaurant early and wanted some beef
steak for breakfast, he seemed to be in
hurry, and when told by the proprie-
that he would have to wait to have it
cooked, then ordered eggs, and while
the preparations we're going on went out
and went SO that he could see the dam.
immediately after breakfast he left town
on foot and went to Bathgate where he
was arrested and brought back to
Neche where he and the German are
held in the village jail. The coroner's
jury adjourned over Christmas until
Friday. LeClaire was buried yester-
day.
