MURDERER TOLD OF
CRIME In A DREAM

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Carl Breitag.
the Brooklyn man who choked to death
his wife Matilda and buried her body in
the cellar of their home has been held
without bail by Magistrate Furlond.
When he was locked up with spec
ial guard over him so that he might not
cheat the electric chair by taking his
own life.
Alvina Walters. his l6-year-old step
who was the unwilling cause
of the killing. was held in $1,000 bail as
a witness. and in default of a bondsman
was turned over to the Children's So
ciety for detention.
The girls story caused Magistrate Fur
long to denounce Breitage bitterly from
the bench. She told tearfully. OF the
mans unwelcome attentions. which first
puzzled her in her innocence, and then
shocked and frightened her when she
realized their significance.
Breitag blurted out another confession.
"Yes. killed her" he said. 81 killed her
for this girl. buried her body in the
cellar and had the floor cemented over
her. That's all"
The girl Alvina really gave the first
clue that her mother was slain. and not
merely missing, as had been reported
Breitag, in his sleep. sat up in bed and
said II can see the spirit of your moth
er: she is killed and buried When Al
vna asked him about this in the morn
ing, he told her to forget about H. it
was only "A dream. But the girl told
neighbors Of the incident. and their gos-
sip brought the police search.
1t was partly Breitags own craftiness
his arrest. As has been told. he had
the cellar floor cemented over the
woman's body. But his thrifty nature
led him to have only half Of the cellar
covered. This aroused the suspicion Of
the detectives at once when they visited
his house

NEW YEAR THOUGHTS
M. c. Robbins.

II we could only live again
The year that's past and gone.
We'd try SO hard to do the thing
That's right and shun the wrong
We'd try so hard TO do some act,
OF kindness every day,
To turn some sorrow into song
Some darkness into day.
We ought as we walk down life's path
Try hard TO help each other;
We never know when we will have
To ask help from our brother
Then let us give TO each and all
Tho measure just and fun;
In doing so we'll only be
Living the golden rule.
Now as the year is passing out
We have a word TO say
OF the dear old Journal that has come
Into our homes each day:
Has cheered MS when the darkness came
Has helped us bear our pain,
And filled each hour with happy thought
Until it came again.
It came through all the summer heat.
II came through winters cold,
It came TO tell us all The news
And great events unfold.
Were waiting for IL all day long,
We welcome II a night
Because into our homes It comes
Just like ray Of light.
And if- you wish tho news TO know
Read Journals pages fair.
We do not know another sheet
That can with it compare.
II tells You when to buy and sell,
II gives you poems sweet;
You'll have TO search a distance great
To find so good sheet
We want TO greet it an next year
As the seasons come and go,
For with the times it keeps apace-s
1t never can be slow.
To every patron we would wish
Each day be fun Of cheer.
And as the old year passes out
a happy, glad. New Year.

Moorhead Department
BOY THREW PAINT
MAY PAY DAMAGES
PARENTS OF GIRL WHO WAS BE-
SCATTERED WILL BRING CIVIL
AcTIoN--ALL CRIMINAL PROSE-
cuTIoN WAS CALLED OFF BY
SETTLEMENT.

According to Sharp & Chaplin, attor-
neys for the plaintiff, civil action
has been ordered in connection with
the trouble Of the boy who is alleged
to have besmattered the clothes and
mead OF a little school girl with paint
on Thursday afternoon and referred to
yesterday.
The boy is the son of Michael Hans
mann. driver of a brewery wagon, and
the father has ordered an action for
damages, for false Imprisonment,
against City Attorney Witherow.
About noon on Thursday young Hans
mann was doing some painting on
Fourth avenue north, not a great dis
lance from st. Joseph's school. Coming
from the school, after the noon recess,
were several little girls and as they
neared the boy he shook his paint
brush In their direction. A quantity
of the paint besmeared the clothes and
flaxen locks OF one of the girls to a
rather considerable extent. The prank
of the boy was witnessed by the city
attorney and he is alleged to have
caught the boy and marched him off
to the police station where he was
locked up in the woman's cell. Later
there was a conference between the
respective parents and Justice Wade
and satisfactory adjustments made,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hansmann promising to
pay for the cleaning Of the child's
clothes, but it was evident that the
Hansmann's did not relish the docking
up of their son and numiliating him in
that fashion before any complaint or
charge had been made against him.
The authorities contend that the boy
made himself amenable to a charge of
disorderly conduct, or assault.

RYDER GETS LOCKED UP
Man Who Connected Story to Get Re-

Old Jail Bird.

Frank Ryder, ex-convict who told
the yarn to the Fargo police about al
legged thieves escaping from the police
in Moorhead, a pure fabrication;
ventured over to the east side last
night and acted SO that he was COM
mon nuisance and was locked up for
vagrancy. Records show that he has
served two years in the penitentiary
of Walla Walla, Wash, for horse
stealing. It was shown before Justice
Maloy today that Ryder's hobby is
telling boastful stories relative to
criminals and their affairs, and that
he is something of an authority in
criminology. He was allowed to go on
the promise that he would leave town
and not allow himself to be seen in
Moorhead again or run the risk Of
thirty days solitary confinement on
bread and water. He returned to
Fargo.

NOT FOOLED ON COSTLY BUST.
Curator Tells Kaiser $4,000 Da vinoi
Masterpieee is Genuine.

Berlin, Nov 6.-The emperor today
summoned DR.. Bode, curator of the
Emperor Frederick museum to report
on the allegations by English art critics
that the wax bust recently purchased
by the curator from an English dealer
was a work by Richard Cookie Lucas
and not by Leonard da Vinci. DIR. Bode
on behalf of the museum, paid an Eng
lish art dealer $4,000 for the life-sized
bust Of a woman. Since the sale, a
son Of Lucas has offered evidence to
prove that the bust was made by his
father in 1846.
Among the tests TO which the bust
was subjected as that OF boring a
hole in tn neck. According to the
curator this was almost conclusive, as
the busts by Lucas were usually hollow
and stuffed with cloth and plaster Of
paris, while this bust proved TO be
solid. His majesty appeared to be
satisfied that the governments money
had not been wasted.
