kenmare Farmer
Brutally Murdered
Gust Johnsons Head Shot Off By Robert S. Noah Con-
vct--Patsy Coyle His Partner in Crime-Noah Con-
fesses the Entire Story---Men in JAIL

Noah says that johnson authorized
him to sell the grain, and accordingly
he started hauling the grain away
from the farm to Kenmare on Friday.
He hauled one load Friday and another
Saturday. He also intended disposlng
of the horses and paying up the debts
and in the fall he was to pay up other
debts for the man and if there was
any money left, he was going to send
it to Johnson in Sweden.
He stated that he took Johnson to
Kenmare Thursday night, saw him pay
SIP for his ticket to Minneapolis and
get on the train with him bidding him
good bye.
When it became, apparent to the
neighbors that the two men at the
Johnson farm were lying like troopers,
word was sent to Kenmare and on
Monday the officers communicated
with Sheriff Lee who ordered an in
vestigation at once.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Hoffine accom-
panied by Chief of Police Jack Kenser
Of kenmare and Mr.. Drummer, went
out towards the Johnson farm. At
Kenaston they met Noah when he was
on his way to Kenmare with a third
load Of wheat. He had taken a buggy
and left it at the livery barn at Ken
aston and had started on and when
arrested was a little ways outside of
Kenas ton. He accompanied the officers
back to the farm where Coyle was ar
rested. Noah says that he had hired
Coyle to work for him for the coming
season at $35 per month.
After his arrest, Noah was very cool
and laughed and told stories to the
officers on the way back to the farm.
He said he must change his clothes
before going any further and opened
his trunk and put on his better clothes.
BY that time large crowd of the
neighbors had arrived at the farm and
began search for the body.
The officers left at once for Ken
mare and when they arrived there
about So minutes later, word had been
telephoned in that the body of the
murdered man had been found in the
cellar.
The men we're in Holmes Office
when word came III, and as Noah
heard it, he looked up quickly, as
if surprised, and then his head fell
down on his breast. He showed no
further emotion.
Everything points strongly to the
guilt of the two men.
Johnson had bought some new lin
oleum from Peter Bertleson, but mad
not yet put it down on the floor. The
men unrolled it and nailed it to the
floor, completely covering the trap
door with it. There was no other

@. Go ahead and tell us in your
own way just what took place up here
at Johnson's place. A. The only
thing was I was not there with Mr..
John"on, and l went out with him
somewheres along the 18th or the
morning of the 10th.
@. OF what month? A. March,
this same month. went out there
with him and he wanted me to stay
with him and send and get my wife
and keep house for us and me work
for him on the farm.
@. Did you work for him during
the fall? A. No. I was there ten
days. We was cleaning grain and
there was not much to do then, haul
ing a little coal and just peddling
around there, so we went to town on
Wednesday at the sale on the gath
and bought lot of old harness and
stuff.
O. Who did you buy that from? A.
I don't know who it, it was sale
there. We bought $2.75, that is what
it cost. And then we went over to
Kenmare and got two quarts Of some
kind of-old brandy he called it, and
I got that quart of alcohol and we
went out and we had little jag that
night and the next morning we were
both sober when we woke up.
@. You slept with him that night?
A. No, he slept in one bed and
slept in the other one. So we went
out and done the chores and I got
breakfast and I went and got bucket
of water and I don't know how I ever
done it. I laid the gun across the
trunk. He was sitting at that table
(indicating) and I was sitting at that
end Gndicating) and I had long
piece of wire that-a pretty good
sized wire, stiff like a telegraph wire,
and just shoyed the trigger on the
gun-it was all cooked and | just
showed and it hit him in the back. I
was scared so I didn't know what I
was going to do then and never said
a word after the gun went off. l was
scared SO just tumbled him down in
the basement, and I thought would
go in town and tell it and I thought
if told it then would get in trouble
and l thought I would keep it then

and it was setting there and when he
went down the hole l kicked the box
and slammed the door and hitched up
the team and drove to town.
@. Did you put blanket or any
thing around him? A. Not a thing
@. Did he bleed there on the floor?
4. Some, yes, but there was an old
piece of blanket or robe or something,
don't know what it was, l just put
NY foot on it and gave it a shove like
hat, and mopped it across
@. How did you get him in the
cellar? A. just took him and pulled
him along there and started his feet
down and turned him loose and let
him slide down the steps about as
near as I can tell it, I don't know
how he fell I didn't go back until
Friday night and then I didn't reach
where he was. There was lot of
spuds-there are lot of steps on the
ladder but there was three steps here
where you go to reach into the bin.
They were not as far as him and I
was scared and I threw few spuds
in the bucket and handed the bucket
to the kid and slammed the door and
late that night we put carpet on
the front floor. 1t is just little two
room shack and got it and throwed
the spuds away and then said I be-
lieve I will go down again, no, says,
all right-so don't know what to do,
and I stood long time and I thought
I would catch freight and get out
of the country. So the next day |
took a load of grain to town, another
load to town and I took that to Ken
aston. I hauled it there and the boy
with me that day and we got to Ken
mare and I sent the ticket to my wife
and five dollars and thought when
she reached there I would sell an
other couple of loads of wheat and
pull out of the country and bury him
somewheres in a box and tie the old
steps down and fill the cellar up with
dirt and get out, that is what l
thought we would do I didn't know
what else to do.
@. What did you DO with the gun?
A. | put it behind a little wash stand

Gust Johnson, well to do farmer
residing eight miles southwest Of Ken
mare, on Section 24-159-S9, was muir
dered some time last thursday night
and his body buried in the cellar OF
his home.
Robert S. Noah, aged ~ years, and
Patsy Coyle, aged II years, are in
the Ward county jail, held without
bail, charged with the crime.
The story of the cold-blooded muir
der is one of the most blood-curdling
in the history of Ward county, and
the evidence points without a SEM
blance of doubt to the guilt of the
two men held for the crime.
The last time that Johnson was seen
alive, by his neighbors, was Wednes-
day night of last week, when he spent
the evening at the home of a close
9neighbor, Monger Johnson. He went
home at an early hour. The murder
was probably not committed until
some time Thursday
Pat Coyle, the younger of the sus-
poets, began working for Johnson on
March 16, but quit the job on March
26 and went to Kenmare. This was
Thursday. The following day he
went back to the Johnson farm and
met the victim That day another
man appeared at the farm, Robert S.
Noah and the two likely laid the plans
for the murder.
1t is supposed that the men killed
johnson, then threw the body down
thru the trap door of the cellar, and
secreted it between the stairs and the
potato bin where it was found last
Monday by neighbors. The body was
covered with dirt and rubbish and
dust was sprinkled over it to make
the pile Of rubbish appear as tho 1t
had lain in the cellar undisturbed for
a long time.
When johnson did not appear about
the place on Friday and Saturday
the neighbors became suspicious and
questioned the two men as to the
whereabouts of Johnson.
Noah had nice little story all fix
ed up. He said that he had known
Johnson for good many. years, in
fact he said that Johnson had worked
for his father years ago when he,
Noah, was little boy. He said that
the day that he came to Johnsons
place, Johnson received a letter from
Sweden stating that his mother was
about to die and asked him to come
home Immediately. Noah says that
the old man wanted to rent him the
farm, and accordingly contract was
made out by Coyle, and signed by
johnson. The signature to the con-
tract is not that of Johnson at all, so
the neighbors say.

THE FRUIT CROP.

Some ideas Worth Putting Into Prao-
ties Next Season.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that fruit
bearing plants will do their best II
they receive attention only now and
then. Irregular care will not amount to
much. Moreover, the cultivator should,
as soon as the bearing season is over,
begin to consider what may be done
to induce better crop next year.
Many old plantations of raspberries
and blackberries that are filled with
dead canes and weeds can be so re-
newed and renovated that they will
bear an abundance Of fine fruit. To
keep berry patch in the highest state
of productiveness the old canes should
be removed after fruiting and the
young growth of small canes properly
pruned out and thinned in the row. II
this is neglected next year you will
have small crop of inferior berries,
good neither to eat nor to sell.
Blackberries and the red or sucker
varieties of raspberries require similar
culture. In May begin to cultivate and
to thin plants in the row. Blackber-
ries should be thinned so the plants
will stand at an average distance of
