The Neche murder, in which Arthur
LeClair, a ct. Northern brakeman, was
killed December %, the Sunday before
Christmas, his body being found at the
bottom of an ice hole in the Pembina
river, reached a climax this week when
a confession of the guilt of the crime was
made by James O'Brien, a friend and
companion of LeClair's. The commits
sion of the act is explained by a quarrel
in which the two boys became engaged
on their return from Gretna, LeClai1
being struck down and killed with blows
received from a lather's Ratchet. He
had with him at the time about 5000
which at the present time has not been
accounted for. O'Brien is a boy in his
teens and a son of Tim O'Brien, an old
and highly respected resident of Neche
! having for a long time held a position
there with the U. S. customs, later he
entered the hotel business. The family
is n that has a large acquaintance
among Langdon people who will deeply
! regret the blow which the act of then
son brings to bear heavily upon the
family.
