the burglar unlocked the back door
from the inside and passed out the
booty, the man remaining inside and
relocking the door and leaving by
way of the window, as the door was
found tightly locked this morning.
Well Planned
The burglars evidently had their
Job we'll planned, although the men
displayed poor taste in the selection
of booty as many more valuable ar
ticles were lying about which could
have been attained with less danger
than was incurred in taking the stuff
out of the show window. In taking
the silver chest, the men also showed
very poor Judgment, as within arms
length from the place the chest was
standing, was a great deal of silver
much more valuable and great deal
easier to handle.
The breaking of the window is sup
posed to have taken place about an
hour before the burglary was COM
mitted, as the men would break the
glass and await developments. The
hole in the window is not large
enough to admit other than medium
sized man. Just inside the window,
lying on the floor, was found large
blue bandana handkerchief, also a
cheap towel. These had been used by
the burglar to prevent his being cut
while crawling through the broken
window.
The rings, ten in number, were set
with sapphires. One was valued at
$40, being an Oriental stone. The
bracelets were of the hoop and Car
men variety, there being fifteen of the
former and twenty of the latter. The
silver chest was valued at about 500.

Thugs Must be Received From
Grand Forks Officials

Residents of East Grand Forks can
hardly be blamed for their righteous
indignation over the effrontery Of the
Herald in going out of it's way to
SANDER the city in its story, of the
East Grand Forks thugs feared by
Bill Callahan. who sought the protec-
ton OF Captain Sullivan of Grand
Forks. The fact that the unfortunate
man feared East Grand Forkers and
asked the other side of the river for
protection, would give the average
reader the impression that East Grand
Forks city was run on the harum
scarum order without protection. The
people Of this city have not much use
for so dispicable SANDER.

to the railroads and especially in this

PIT1FUL SCENE ON
THE FARM OF HORROR
Children and Wife Alone With
Dead Man and Would-be
Suicide
PITIFUL SCENE ON
THE FARM OF HORROR

The murder and attempted suicide
which took place near Starkweather
last Thursday evening was one of the
most cold-blooded that has ever &C.
CURED in the annals of North Dakota
crime. Deliberate and without pro-
vocation was the murder of A. l..
Thomas, according to the testimony
Of two little girls, daughters of the
murdered man who were eye wit
nessses of the tragedy; the attempted
suicide of w. 8. Howard, the MUIR
derer, Immediately after firing the ia
tai shot, is one Of the most sensa-
tfonal that has ever been recorded.
Pitiful to the extreme were the scenes
enacted Immediately following the
terrible affair when the wife OF the
murdered man and their two daugh-
ters knelt over the dead body of the
father and husband, washing from the
face the blood which flowed from
horrible wound. Such was the scene
that met the eyes of the first arrivals
at the farm of horror after the at
fair.
The murder and attempted suicide,
previously told of in the Times
columnes, have far more sensational
features than were first told of, ac-
cording to Homer Resler, editor of the
Starkweather Times. who Is in the
city today. The affair took place on
the Thomas farm seven miles from
starkweather at about 2:30 o'clock
last Thursday afternoon. Howard
was residing with the Thomas family.
Mrs. Howard being his sister. How
ard and Thomas has quarrelled sew
eral times over the care of two dogs,
each of them owning one of the
CANNES. Howard had threatened sew
eral times to shoot the dogs in case
there was further trouble, but had
failed to carry his threat into force.
Warned Father.
On Thursday afternoon, while Mrs.
Thomas was i'll in her bed room and
the two daughters, Fay and Ruth,
aged 10 and Is years, respectively,
were working about the house, How
ard came into the house, going
through several rooms and into his
bedroom. He there secured his 12-
guage shotgun, loaded it and exam
ined it, making certain that it was In
good shape, the little girls hearing
him click it several times. Leaving
the house without a word and walk
ing toward the barn, the children be-
came fearful lest there be trouble, and
both looked out through the windows,
one from a side room and the other
from the kitchen. Ruth was standing
in the kitchen window and could see
both her father and Howard. Fay
was in the side room and could only
see her father near the barn, where
he was working on binder, evident
ly repairing chain. Leaning out a
bit, however, she saw Hoawrd walk
ing toard him. This alarmed her and
she ran out, warning her father
against Hoawrd, saying:
