Alexander MCINTOSH DEAD.
Passed Away at W. H. Mcintosh
Home Sunday Evening.

Alexander Mcintosh died
Sunday evening at the home
of his brother, w. H. Mcintosh,
in this city. He had been in
poor health for several years.
His last illness was of several
weeks duration and death was
due to heart failure.
Mr.. Mcintosh was born in
Clifford, Ontario, fifty-four
years ago. He had resided in
Bottineau county past twelve
years, living in Bottineau dur
ing all that period except when
on his farm near Eckman. He
is survived by three children:
Norman, Cameron and Ada;
they are at present living in
Canada.
Funeral services were held
at the w. H. Mcintosh home
Tuesday morning at 10 O clock,
conducted by Rev. D. Stratford
Scadeng of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The re-
mains were inferred in Oak
Creek cemetery.
He was a man of many good
qualities and enjoyed the re-
spect and esteem of all who
knew him.

Immediately after a verdict

case, the Indian, Sa-Ka-She-

was placed on trial under SINH

ers. He is being defended by

VonHollen, Napoleon Cushing,
James Kyle, H. D. Convis, l..
F. Scott, Thomas Lee, Anton

for him. They claim to have
had no part in the killing and
that the Indian divided the
plunder with them afterwards.
But the story was 80 lame in
many essentials and so palpably
untrue that the jury evidently
failed to give it consideration.
Both the Peltiers were anx-
ious to 60 on the stand to tell
their story of the crime,
evidently thinking that the
jury would believe them and
thus discredit the story of the
affair as told by the Indian,
who was the star witness for
the state.
The witnesses examined in
the case in addition to those
noted in last weeks Courant
were Alex. Peltier, S. q. Glib
son, Sake She -Weshunk, John
McCaughna, Andy Johnston, r.

Joe PeItler Has Not Confessed.

The story yesterday gained
currency that Joseph Peltier
had confessed to being alone
responsible for the murder and
exhonerating his brother and
the Indian. None of the court
officials know anything about
it, however. The story prob
ably originated in the following
manner: When the verdict was
read Joe was sitting near Dep
uty Sheriff Bond and whisper
ed to the latter, saying he
wanted Bond to ask Judge Goss
to give him permission to
speak. The judge was then
questioning each of the jurors
as to the verdict and Mr.. Bond
told him to wait until he had
finished. He afterward made
his desire known to Mr.. Bow
en-, who advised him to consult
his attorney, Mr.. Weeks, be-
fore making a statement. He
then consulted Mr.. Weeks, but
made no further effort to obtain
Judge Goss' permission to
speak.
