KILLED IN SCRAP
OVER THEIR DOGS
Ramsey County Man Kills His
Brother-in-Law Because of
Treatment of Dog

Starkweather, N. D., Sept. 25-Be-
cause w. 8. Howard was dissatisfied
with the manner in which A. L. Thom-
as, his brother-in-law. treated his dog,
he shot and instantly killed Thomas,
after which he attempted suicide. The
shooting occurred on the Bivner farm
seven miles out of Starkweather at
2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon and
last night Coroner Glbertson of Dev-
Ills Lake held an inquest which result
ed in verdict holding Howard re-
sponsible for the death of Thomas.
The accused man lies in the Devils
Lake hospital suffering from a bad
flesh wound which will heal in short
order.
The two men became involved in a
quarrel, when Howard charged Thom-
as. with treating his own dog better
than he did Howard's. They came to
blows, but were parted, not, however,
until each of them bore marks of the
scrap. After this encounter Howard
went into the house and secured a
rifle, stating that he intended killing
his dog. From the house he went to
the barn, near which Thomas was
working. At distance of thirty feet.
Howard raised the gun, took deliber-
ate aim and shot Thomas in the head,
death being almost instantaneous.
Howard then walked to the granary,
short distance OFF and attempted to
end his own life but was only success
full In inflicting flesh wound.
The o11cials were notified of the af-
fair at once and Howard was placed

home.
, In the meantime Mr.. and Mrs. Per-
kins had their disagreements. In
fact, it was shown for years they had
not been able to agree.
In the summer of 1895 Mrs. Perkins
and her daughter removed to Arverne,
L. I. Mr. Owen, who had resumed his
theological studies, according to the
evidence, also paid visit to Arverne.
Staying at the same house at that
time was Guy Dempsy. AS IL turned
cut he was the principal witness for
Mr.. Perkins.
Dempsy testified that one night his
attention. was attracted by a light
pouring through keyhole and look
ing through he saw Mrs. Perkins and
Owen. Dempsy paid four more visits
to the keyhole on as many evenings
with the same results, he testified.
For thirteen years he held his peace
and was then compelled to tell his
story by order of the court. 1t
was only recently that Mr.. Perkins
heard of the Arverne incident.

Taft ON Revision
Last night Mr.. Taft delivered HIM
self of his ideas regarding the tariff.
Revision in his opinion should, and
would be made according to the Re-
publican principles of protection. Aft
er reviewing the whole quest.... in an
extended manner, he made this posi-
tive declaration on the subject:
"Mr. Bryan Is concerned because
he thinks that the Republican party
is unable to carry out its promises Of
revising the tariff In accordance with
the principle stated. He says that the
protected interests are so necessary
to the success of the Republican par
ty that they will control it and prevent
Q revision on proper lines, and that
there has been no indication that the
revision may not be upward rather
than downward.
In answer can say that the par.
ty is pledged to q genuine revision and
as the temporary head Of that party,
and president of the United States, II

pect to use all the influence that
have by calling Immediately special
session and by Recommendation to
congress. to- secure q genuine and hon
eat revisionsof the tariff IN accordance
With the principle bf protection laid
down tn the platform, based upon the
examination of appropriate evidence
and impartial as between the consum-
er and the manufacturer.
II don't for q moment dispute that
the protected manufacturers will make
every effort as they ought, to main
tain tariff at such rate as will se-
cure them in their business, and that
in this matter they will be interested

ment in the Republican party repre-
senting the consumer, through whom
