WAS ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
A Peculiar Accident That Came Near Cestino
the Life of Boy in Osford township.

A Peculiar Accident That Came Near Cestina
the Life of Boy in Osford Township.
The eleven year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Ward of Osford townsh hip
met with a peculiar accident one day last
week that came near costing the little
fellow his life. 1t appears that he had
tied horse to post in the barn when
the animal started walking in circle,
the halter catching the boy around the
throat and pinning HIM to the post. A
younger brother, who happened to be in
the barn, ran to the house to tell his
mother, who became so Mortified when
she reached the barn and saw her boy
apparently strangled to death, that she
was unable to render any assistance.
The hired man fortunately appeared on
the scene about the same time and he
hastily cut the halter with knife, the
boy, who by this time was unconsc ious,
dropping on the floor in heap. After
working over the boy for some time he
was restored to life and has now fully
recovered from his narrowing ex-
perience.--Milton Globe.

TROUBLE FOR W. S. GREGG.
Langdon's Ex- Chief of Police Has Made Him
self a Big Heap of Trouble.

Frank McCaul has been pretty busy
the past week. Some time ago he sold
team of horses to man named Gregg,
of Langdon, on credit, but not getting
his payments as they came due, he went
up there to look the matter up-fnding
neither Gregg nor the animals. He
learned of their whereabouts, however,
and left for Bemidji, Mimi, where he
located the horses in the lumber woods
and after getting out papers had them
brought in-the party having them,
however, paid the doctor his bill and
kept the team. Now Mr. McCaul will
have Gregg, whom he has also located,
arrested and he will find out the
pleasure of selling mortgaged property
and otherwise attempting to defraud.-

lANGDON FARMERS INSTITUTE.
One of the Best Institutes Ever Held in the
County at LangdOn This Week.

The Farmers Institute held in Lang
don on Tuesday was the most largely
attended and one of the best institutes
that farmers of Langdon and vicinity
have ever had. The court room at the
Court House was comfortably filled at
the forenoon session, while in the after
noon when the institute re-convened
after the noon adjournment seating
accommodation was actually at
premium. The address of Prof Thos.
Shaw on the "Fertility of the North Da-
kota Soil was perhaps the most
practical and helpful address given.
Prof L A. Hoverstad who had change

the county durlns years past has there
been a freer interchange of thought and
expressions of ideas on farm. stock and
dairy subjects between the audience
and the speakers than manifested itself
in the institute held in Langdon on

JAHNkE'S AWFUL DEED.
A Former Cavalier County Teacher
Shoots Fifteen Year Old Girl
Then Kills Himself.
UPON GIRLS REFUSAL TO WE'D.

Crime Committed at Ten Strike, Minn, Was
Witnessed BY Three Children-Father of the
Girl Left Her With Jahnke After ObjeCting
to Their Marriage Two Shots Killed Girl
Top of Ilited Lovers Head Was Blown Off.
In the telegraphic columns of the
daily papers last Friday, dated from
Bemidji, Mimi. was found story which
confirmed the shocking news that had
reached Langdon parties by wire the
day previous of a tragedy in which Otto
Jahnke, former Cavalier county
teacher, had dealt out death to sixteen
year-old- girl, afterwards committing
suicide himself. Jahnke was not a
Langdon resident, having only visited
here on odd occasions with his brother,
Frank Jahnke, we'll known carpenter
and contractor. During the holiday
season he left here for Tenstrlke, Mimi,
where he is understood to have timber
claim and also had previously taught
school. Here in this county his career
as school teacher reached close some
months ago, when the Munich school
board called for his resignation follow
ing an inquiry they had made into COM
plants laid by patrons of the school
regarding his conduct. He held a record
of exceptional high educational ability,
but had at times exhibited character
istics of mental development that to say
the least are not found desirable in the
school room. The story of the double
tragedy as taken from the daily papers
is as follows.
infatuated with the charms of fifteen
year-old girl who spurned his insane
love, j. 0. Jahnke, aged thirty years, at
$50 o'clock Friday morning shot and
instantly killed Laura Fleischman at
her fathers home near Tenstrike and
then turned the gun on himself, putting
bullet in his own brain and dying in
stantly. The horrible crime was COM
mitted in the presence of three smaller
children, members of the Fleischman
family, who we're the only witnesses of
the shooting.
1t appears that Jahnke asked the
Fleischman girl to marry him and her
refusal to become engaged coupled with
the statement that she did not love
Jahnke turned the latter's love to hat
red and created in his mind the insane
determination to destroy the object OF
his infatuation and to end his own
earthly career. It appears that Jahnke
taught school three years ago in the dis
trict known as the Ralph school, the
daughter Of Fleisehman being one Of
the scholars who attended Jahnke's
school. Two years ago Jahnke left Ten.
strike and had since then lived near
Langdon n D. He kept up q cores
pondencs with the Fleischman family
and appeared to be on very friendly
terms with them. He came to Ten

strike three months ago and has been
making his home at the Fleischman farm
sinca that time

strike three months ago and has been
making his home at the Fleischman farm
since that time.-
Jahnke had evidently been paying his
attention to the Fleischman girl but her
father was not aware of the fact until
yesterday afternoon when Jahnke told
i Ifieischman that he was a 6. eat aamire-
of the girl and wanted to marry her.
Mr.. Fleischman told Jahnke that the
girl was too young and that he would
not consent to her marriage to anyone
at the present time.
| Friday afternoon Jahnke asked the
girl to become his wife and she absolute
ly refused to become engaged. Subse-
quent events would indicate that Jahnke
brooded over the refusal of the girl and
determined to make one final effort to
win her consent to become his wife and
in the event Of her refusing to kill her
and then end his own existence. Mr..
Fleischman left his home at eight o'clock
this morning and went into the woods
to do some work. Shortly after nine
o'clock his little daughter came running
from the house and told him that Laura
had been shot. Mr. Fleischman hasten
cd to the house where horrible sight
met his gaze, the body of Laura lying
on the floor in a pool of blood. There
we're two bullet wounds in her body, one
back of the left ear and the other in the
upper part of her body. On bed few
PAGES away from the body of Laura lay
the body of Jahnke, the top of the
dead mans head being nearly torn away
by bullet from the deadly rife which
| lay on the floor near the bed
The story of the children vary some
what, but it is evident that Jahnke had
carefully planned his horrible deed and
had carried it out with an exactness
that showed his determination to either
win Laura Fleischman for his wife or to
end hers and his own earthly career.
The crime has caused great sensation
at Tenstrike and the father of the girl
is nearly crazed with grief over the des-
perate act of the man who had posed as
his friend and enjoyed the hospitality of
| his house.
