MET DEATH
AT DENBIGH

Denbigh, N. D.. June 15.-Con-
siderable excitement was caused at
this place last Saturday about s
o'clock by the discovery by a train
crew of the dead BODY of man ly-
ing along the railroad track about
a half mile east of town.
The body was brought into town
and Coroner Johns of Velva and
States Attorney Donnelly, of Town
err, were telephoned for 80 that a.
inquest could be held over the body.
A coroner's jury was impaneled the
following day and verdict Of I'M
known death was returned and the
states attorney instructed to make
a further investigation.
The theory that the man was muir
dered and his body thrown from
some passing train seems to be we'll
founded, as no one answering the
description Of the dead man has been
seen in town on the day he was
found. To further strengthen the
idea Of murder and that he had not
fallen from q train as was at first
supposed, the wound on the right
side of the face indicated that he

the taking of testimony will begin in

Fourteen talesmen were examined

various issues in the case. The
greater part of the afternoon session
was devoted to John H. Gray, life

The banking act. though not includ-

and the present bill is the compromise
result. The vital points of the new

banking corporation who shall vio-
late any provision of this act shall be
civilly liable for damages to any per-
son injured thereby and shall likewise
be liable to the guarantee deposits
of such corporation for the

positors therein"
The anti gambling act provides that
on ana after October, 1910, no license
shall be issued for any gambling
game, and makes it a misdcmeanor
to play any game for money.
