N. D. HOMESTEADER
LOST LIFE I'M we'll
THRILLING EVIDENCE OF MANS
TERRIBLE FIGHT TO SAVE
HIS LIFE.

Crosby. ". D., Dec. 22.--News Of the
horrible death OF ole Peterson has been
brought to this city by parties who,
on Sunday night, discovered his body
in a. well on a farm about twelve
miles south of here and half mile
from the nearest dwelling. The unfor-
tunate man was a Dane and was liv-
ing alone on his homestead near where
he met his death
He was last seen alive on wednes-
day OF last week by his neiglbor, Lor-
entson, who had on that day helped
him with the digging of a well. They
did not finish the new well and Peter
son continued to use Lorentson's well
to water his stock, The indications are
that he met his death in the latter well
some time on Thursday.
Peterson had arranged to come into
| town with Lorentson on Friday. but
the latter. on finding him away from
home, thought nothing Of 1t. But when
he had not returned Saturday night It
excited suspicion and searching party
was started out. They found the body
in the Lorentson well on Sunday night,
almost submerged and with a rope tied
about him.
Awful Fight for Life.
1t is supposed that he went to the
well to water his stock and, being un-
able to break the ice with the pail, let
himself down to break IT with his feet
and fell into the water. There are EVIL
dences of a terrible struggle to climb
the rope and 1t is APPARENT that he be-
came exhausted with the struggle en-
numbered as he was with his water
soaked clothing and chilled by the icy
waters. OF course the details of the
accident can never be known, but the
loop tied in the rope for his foot-but
which had slipped up until II grasped
the thigh-the efforts made to cut a
foothold in the curbing with knife
and the fact that in death he still
maintained his grasp on the rope bore
mute testimony to the plucky fight
against odds put UP by the victim to
have himself
The deceased had no relatives in this
neighborhood but, a brother lives In
South Dakota and efforts are being
made to locate him.

ERIE FERRYBOATS
CRASH TOGETHER
IN PAvON|A SLIP
Goshen and Snifern Come To-
getfer with Smash That
Is Heard Mile.

JERSEY CITY. Jan. 2O.-with a
crash that could be heard for half a
mile, two ferryboats of the Erie Rail
0 smashed into one another early
today about 100 feet from the ferry
slips at the foot of Pavonia avenue
One man, who was thrown off a seat
by the force of the crash, had his hip
broken.
Both boats were put out of commits
sion by the accident, and hundreds of
commuters and truckmen delayed for
a long time, while the disabled craft
were being taken out of the slips and
towed Up to one of the freight docks
above the ferry house. The boats were
the Goshen, which runs to Chambers
street, and the Suffern, of the Twenty
third street line.
Every window in both boats was
shattered. There were many passen-
gers or board both boats, and the
gangways were filed with horses and
trucks. Men and horses were thrown
off their feet when the boats came
together, and for several minutes there
was the widest confusion.

SALESMAN HAS
BIG FIRM HAILED
INTO CHANCERY
Wants Accounting from Wilkin=
son, Gaddis & Co. Cow
ering Is Years.

Testimony was taken today before
Vice-Chancellor Emery in a suit
brought by Meyer Ankin, formerly a
salesman in the employ of Wilkinson,
Gaddis & Co. for an accounting of his
sales during the thirteen years be-
tween 1894 and 1907, representing his
term of employment.
In a bill filed by Philip J. Schotland
Ankin declares that he has not re-
ceived his full share of the gross profits
on his sales, under two agreements
with his employers.
Ankin charges that Notwithstanding
the contract an arbitrary scale of com
missions was fixed by the firm in 1907,
to which he refused to accede, leav-
ing the firm in August of that year.
The wholesale firm declares in It's
answer that the contract with Ankin
was faithfully kept and that his
charges are unfounded.
The sales books of the company, rep
resenting butter and flour sales, on
which Ankin specifies he was not given
proper credit, were brought into court
and detailed transactions taken lp
seriatum by the curt. The hearing
was continued.

QUICKLY
TOOK WINGS AND
$4,000 IS GONE
Reinshagers' Prosperity Was
Brief and Now Husband
Is Suing Wife.

Family troubles, in which a legacy
OF $4,000 figured, were aired in the
Fourth Precinct Court today, when n
complaint was entered by William
Reinshager, of 564 South Tenth street,
against his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Reins-
hager were married in California seven
years ago, and two years later, through
the death of an uncle in Germany,
R~einshager became heir to the $50, 600.
Both he and his wife went to Ger
M ", secured the one and, return
ing to this country, took up their resi-
dence in Newark.
In the trial of the case it developed
that Reinshager had spent the greater
part of the money before his return to
this country, and his wife finally pre-
vailed o him to sign over to her the
sum of $4,000. In his complaint he al
leges that his wife, now that he is out
of work, refuses to provide proper food
or clothing for him.
In her answer to this complaint, Mrs.
Reinshager charges that her husband
is an habitual drunkard, and that the
amount of money in her possession is
only sufficient to run her home in the
manner of which he complains.
Judge Herr decided that the case
should have been brought in the Chan
cory Court and dismissed the complaint.

ONE BRAUN SUIT
DISMISSED FROM
CRIMINAL COURT

There was a rift in the cloud of trou-
BILE which has overhung Rudolph A.
Braun, q lawyer, when he was ar.
raigned today in the Fourth Precinct
Court, charged by Mrs, Louise Kaestll,
of South Eighteenth street, with hav-
ing procured 5000 from her under false
pretenses. 1t was Mrs. Kaestli's con-
tention thai the attorney had promised
in consideration of that sum to secure
the liberation of her father, William
Staempfli, of 103 Howard street, who
was accused of shooting a mar on Jan
uary IL, 1907, and who served a year in
the penitentiary for 1t.
Mrs. Kaestli. to prove that Braun had
received the 5000, produced a promis-
sorry note for hat amount, given TO her
by Braun two days after that sum had
been paid him, but this proved to be a
boomerang for the complainant. When
the note was shown to Judge Herr, he
expressed himself as being indignant
that the attorney should be made de-
PENDANT in a criminal action, whereas,
according to the testimony of all the
complainant's witnesses, the action was
n to be tried in the civil courts. The
case was at once dismissed.

more than an hour in rendering a YER
dict of guilty in the first degree, the
same as Grigg's companion in the
crime. Walter Zeller. received. Then
when they remained out all night it
was felt sure an agreement would be
reached early yesterday, but this was
not the case.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
however, a stir was treated when the
jury came into court. Grigg was
brought in from the Jail, and his
mother was there, both pale and appre-
hensiye. 1t t~ranspired, however, that
the jury merely wished further instruc-
tons from the court. Their question:,
Which was submitted in the form of a
note, was: WAS there any instruction
in your charge that the verdict must
be either murder in the first degree or
acquittal?"
Judge Trenchard's charge had been
so explicit on this point that surprise
was manifested that they should ask
such a question. In reply Judge
Trenehard repeated h closing part Of
his charge, saying that under the law
and the evidence in the case you can
not find the defendant guilty of murder
in the second degree or m~anslaughter.
II you find him guilty at all it must be
of murder in the first degree" He then
sent the jury out again.

me GUN IS ME-
bESTEsT FRIEND,'
SAYS BOY BANDIT
Ir0nbound Terror "Always
Totes Trusty Piece of Hard
ware Wild Him."

Joseph Austine, whom the police call
the boy bandit of the %Ironbound, -
said today that it was Just second
natu for him to be a terror when he
was arraigned in the Third Precinct
Police Court, charged with breaking
into and robbing Hart & McDonough's
grooe-y store at 144 Ferry street.
Incidentally, Joe, who is still in his
teens. had a monster revolver in his
hip-pocket when arrested at his home
at "a Madison street.
I'D be lost without that" he said
calmly to Police Judge Hahn. 1T
stood by me nobly in many a mixup.
Why, I've toted hat smoke-wagon
ever since l was a kid. l wouldn't
think of going out without it. One
never knows when he'll need a trusty
piece of hardware
There have been many robberies of
stores in the |Ironbound and DOWN
Neck sections, all of them similar to
the Hart & McDonough case. Police
Captain Christie, Sergeant Forsythe and
Plainclothesman Adubato, who cap
tured young Austine, presented so much
evidence against him that Judge Hahn
held him for the grand jury in $500 bail,
Before bail could be furnished Cap
tain Christie hurried Austine to police
headquarters to have his picture added
to the collection there, as the captain
is a little dubious about Austine appear
ing again when wanted.
This bov has been a terror in the
Ironbound for a long time,'' said Cap
tain Christie, "but we have not been
able to get anything against him until
now. We had sufficient evidence 20
show that he had a hand in the Hart 4,
McDonough case, and hat Ease was
just like all the others. He is a dan
gerous lad. With that huge revolver
he was carrying he would have shot
anyone who attempted to interfere with
him at night. We feel much better
down here now"
