SCRAP OVER DOG
ENDS IN MURDER
S1ARKWEATnER MEN QUARREL OVER
DOC AND ONE IS KlLlED--uTTE
GIRLS WITNESSES

Deputy Sheriff Frye and Coroner
Gilbertson returned at 2 o'clock
this morning from the Biwer
farm, east of Starkweather, where
they were called to investigate the
murder of A. L. Thomas and the
attempted suicide of the murderer,
w. S. Howard.
an inquisition was held and the
following facts were brought out:
The two little daughters of the
murdered man, aged 10 and IA
years, were the only eye witnesses
to the tragedy. The trouble first
started by Howard kicking one of
the dogs. He said to Ruth
Thomas, one of the daughters,
that if there was any more trouble
over the dogs he would kill them
both. Thomas remarked to How
ard that he would fight a four
year-old kid. This angered How
ard very much. The trouble
started in the kitchen. After
wards the men went outside and
commenced fighting. John Fos-
ter, who was near at hand, sep
arated the men. Howard went in
the house and washed the blood
from his face, while Thomas went
to the we'll to wash off his blood
stains. Howard changed his shirt
and went out and saw Thomas,
who was working on a binder.
He then returned to the house,
when to his bedroom, procured a
shot gun and went outside again.
AS Rooth Thomas looked out of
the window she saw Howard shoot
at her father, and saw him fall
over backward. Thomas did not
see Howard coming and was taken
by surprise. After killing Thomas
Howard went to the barn and at
tempted to kill himself. He dis
charged the gun and evidently
aimed at the heart, but the charge
glanced to one side, breaking two
ribs and making an ugly wound.
Three men were placed over
Howard as guards and he was
brought to Devils Lake this after
noon on the Farmers train. His
wounds are not considered very
serious.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
is as follows:
State of North Dakota, county
of Ramsey SIS. An inquisition
holden Biwer farm in Royal town
ship, Ramsey county, North Da-
kota, on the Oath day of Septem-
Der, 1908, before E. w. Gilbert
son, coroner of said county, upon
the body of A. L. Thomas, there
lying dead, by the jurors whose
names are hereunto set, the said
Jurors upon their oaths do say
that the said A. L. Thomas came
to his death from the discharge of
a No. - guage shot gun, held in
the hands of w. S. Howard, at
about 2:3O p. m., on the 24th day
of September, 1908, at the Biwer
farm, in Royal Township, Ramsey
county, North Dakota.
(Signed) II. L. Potts
Il. G. Neidlinger.
B. Mouse
Howard it seems has a violent
disposition and is of quarrelsome
nature. From the evidence it
seems the murder was deliberate,
the shot being fired when Thomas
was STOPPING over fixing a chain
on the binder. One of his daugh-
ters cried to him to look out, that
Howard was coming with a gun,
but the warning did not reach the
father in time.
The affair has created much ex-
citement in the neighborhood,
where the murdered man and his
murderer were quite well known.
