TWO DEAD MAY BE
MURDER VICTIMS
BODIES OF LA5oRERs FOUND sE.
SIDE RAILROAD TRACKS
NEAR WADENA.

Wadena, Mimi, Sept. 15.-That two
laborers. whose dead bodies were found
beside the Northern Pacific tracks, near
Aldrich a small station near here,
were murdered and thrown from a
train after being searched for valuables
Is the opinion of many persons in this
city. The bodies have been brought to
this city, where they win remain for
Identification.
The men were apparently harvest
hands on their way home from the Da-
kotas. Their heads were badly cut, az
II they had been struck with a heavy
club, but their bodies bore no marks
that would indicate tina. they were
struck by a train. The fact that the
bodies were 100 yards apart inclines
opinion toward the murder theory
rather than that Of accident.
There were no papers on either OF
the men which might lead 10 their
Identification. They were evidently
foreigners, the older being about rs
years of age, while the ether was not
more than 16. A Little Falls resident
came here 20 view the bodies. thinking
that one Of them was a Little Falls
laborer, but he could not identify them.
No inquest has peen held yet

The opening night OF the young

to be a hummer and Instructor Harri-

this class would tax the capacity Of
the gym before the winter was over.
There was a fine programme of
games and sports and everyone out
last night became enthused and prom
ised to attend regularly.
There was a free hand drill to start
with and this was followed by the
game Thee Deep. The class was then
divided into squads, the beginners un-

German horse; the second year men
under Arthur Olivier on the parallel
bars and the old timers under Geo.
Hoenck on the horizontal.
Following this there were a couple
of vigorous games OF Horse and Rider,
White and Black and War Over the
Bridge. These are all strenuous
games and gave the young men a good
workout.
The evening closed with session of
the ever popular game of basketball,
after which refreshments were served
and the boys enjoyed social half hour.
Basketball Outlook Good.

picked for Y. M c.. A. basketball

NO new DEVELOPMENTS
Matter of Counsel for Frank Keith.
man Still Appears to Be in
the Air.

Today passed without any new de-
velopments in the Frank Kethman
case. No new features regarding the
murder of DR.. T. H. Egge, of which
Kethman stands charged, have been
brought to light or at least made pub
lie. The matter of counsel for the de.
PENDANT stands about the same as 1t
did last evening, when the statement
that Attorney Parnett Of Fargo would
represent Kethman, was denied. The
case still stands postponed till Friday,
and 1t is probable that the matter of
counsel will be decided before that
time or a further extension of time
allowed for the defendant to procure
attorneys to take the case.

PER CENT DISCOUNT.

City Treasurer Geo. w. wilhelm was
busy this morning checking from his
books the names of large number of
property owners who have honored the
city with payment for the pavement
which was recently installed.
Mr.. Wilhelm states that remittances
are arriving rapidly and in most graft
flying manner. A large number OF the
checks were from property owners who
reside outside of the city, fact which
is very pleasing to the city authorities.
Today was the last day that advant-

discount that was offered for payment
before September is, and many are
taking advantage of this offer. The
result is that the new pavement is be-
ing paid for rapidly.
